Can I have intrusive feelings as well with ocd? I’m feeling so sad since I saw a post of my ex bf getting engaged last Monday, at the beginning I thought it was normal but then I couldn’t stop thinking about him and our relationship, I feel I miss him but it’s so confusing, why am I missing him? We broke up 7 years ago and I’m in a relationship and love my bf. But I can’t thinking that maybe I want to be with him and imagine how it would be if we try it again, but I don’t know why I’m thinking on that, it all started suddenly after seeing that post :( I feel genuinely sad, I can't help but cry every time I think about him. I don’t know what to do with these feelings b

YES INTRUSIVE FEELINGS ARE REAL! AND THEY FUCKING SUCK GIRL THIS LITERALLY HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME A LOT LATELY! I broke up w my ex almost 2 years ago and he brought a new girl to prom a few weeks ago and I felt like this and intrusive jealousy too! I've had feelings for someone for like a long time too and it just makes my ocd try to make me feel extra guilty abt it like "oh well since you have intrusive jealousy then it means that you would be a cheater if you were dating your crush rn" and it's just annoying

@no.comment It is so hard and confusing :( I have been thinking all day about him and wondering if I still love him and imagining that he tells me that we can try again, I never felt this way before seeing his post

Bro I talked to on of my friends the other day who also has ocd and now my intrusive thoughts r all abt him and it’s driving me crazy. I think my ocd ran with the fact that I finally related to someone with my mental disorder. Please does anyone relate. Now my thoughts abt my relationship are going crazy. I love my boyfriend so much and I don’t wanna be with anyone else.

i'm really sorry you're feeling this way. it sounds super tough to be caught in this cycle of thoughts and feelings, especially when it's about something as personal as past relationships. it's normal to have all sorts of feelings come up, but i get how confusing and painful it must be for you. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was dealing with my own loops of thoughts and feelings, this free AI OCD therapy tool (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my NOCD therapist recommended really made a difference. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it's designed to provide personalized, step-by-step support for exactly these kinds of situations. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket, ready to help you navigate through these intrusive feelings and thoughts, giving you the tools to manage them better. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

Hi guys. I posted a few days ago but I didn’t get a response and I was wondering if anyone could take the time to read this below. I would really appreciate some advice because it’s something that I don’t feel I have a lot of knowledge about. And knowledge he power as they say. Thank you ❤️ Why does intrusive thoughts feel so real? I had an intrusive thought/fake ‘feeling’ about another guy I know who I used to date before my current boyfriend who is everything to me. And it felt like a real ‘feeling/emotion’. Why does this happen? Then I worry about my actions whilst ‘feeling’ that way

Has anyone ever went through grief/a break up where it seems that ocd makes the process worse? Like having anxious/intrusive thoughts that aren’t even reflective of your feelings about the situation?

afraid I have limerence ? Idk.

back story: i have been having thoughts about my ex crush for like about two years now, off and on. I know I love my boyfriend and I want to be with him. But my ex crushes name always pops into my head every fucking day, my brain always ties back a connection with anything I fucking do, and I see his name everywhere which always makes me think it’s a “sign” I get sad bc my mind will always replay memories with the ex crush rather than my boyfriend and I get upset with it. I’m at my wits end and I feel incredibly guilty bc I don’t want this person, nor do I want him in my head. Has anyone gone through this where they had intrusive thoughts about a person for no reason?
