Having a really hard time living with uncertainty.

I believe in you, you will get through this too ❤️
@sepsomeone Thank you 😊♥️
@MelissaArrowood Youre always welcome 🥰♥️
I’m newly diagnosed and it seems like that’s our goal…to learn to live with uncertainty. Do you want to say more? It’s okay to be having a hard time. You’re human. It’s okay to not be okay. And we’re working on feeling better, on figuring this out.
@JediMJ I’m having a really hard day for some reason. I’m thankful for everyone on here. They know just how to make you feel better because they know what you’re going through 😊♥️
Same. Been having a hard time. Hang in there!
Leaning into uncertainty is the only way to get better in the long run. It’s hard I know but you can do it
This topic triggers me so much because I don’t think I ever experienced “gut feelings” about my relationship until the ocd. I know that generally people get these feelings when something’s off like their values are different, or the partner has strong bad habits, or something they’re doing is wrong. But my relationship is perfect to me: we communicate so well and I feel so vulnerable and safe. He’s amazing and sweet and we share the same values and life goals. We’re not perfect but I wanna be imperfect w him. I’ve never felt the way I feel for him with anyone else before. So why does it feel like the next stage of our life (moving in together) feels like I’ll change my mind later on?.. I get anxious at the idea and thought of sharing our whole life but I know I want to marry him. The idea of us growing old together, I feel like my life would be complete with him. But why do I feel like I don’t want to :( Do people have doubts anout their relationship even when there’s nothing to doubt?? There’s nothing wrong with us at all and I want what we have forever but when I think about our future I feel so anxious like I won’t last long until I decide I can’t do it anymore
I'm struggling really hard with relationship obsessions. Do I really love my partner? How can I know? Am I really just faking it? That kind of thing. It's making my life and relationship a lot harder than they need to be. I could use a few helpful coping mechanisms, trying to move away from less helpful ones like chasing reassurance.
That feeling of "incompleteness" or that something isn’t quite right can be unbearable. What’s one daily task that OCD makes harder because it never feels 'just right'?
