YES exactly! And it hurts to feel like you’re questioning yourself in ways you were always so confident prior to the onset of OCD.

YES! And the guilt you feel just adds a whole new spin on it and you feel like it’s a downward spiral. So many mind games

I have intrusive feelings more than intrusive thoughts! It’s the worst! And it always makes ocd feel so real!

Intrusive feelings are absolutely a thing. And you’re not alone. I’m in a similar place with my boyfriend. We just started dating and he’s the best guy I’ve ever known but my mind keeps asking me “What if you just like him platonically and you don’t like him romantically?” It’s hard and every time I go out with him, I’m riddled with anxiety but I’m going to fight it because I don’t want to throw away a potential future with this guy because of my ROCD. But I understand your pain. I hate it

This was how i felt. The guilt became crippling i had to confess every little thing to my partner. Basically i fucked things up, made them not want to be with me anymore. That + some shit i did three years ago when we were new = a messy break up.

I understand what each one of you is saying! I was getting myself into such a mess because I didn’t know if Intrusive feelings were a thing? Are they? It makes sense if they are! I had a big conversation with my boyfriend last night and he’s so compassionate and understands so much, however I don’t understand these intrusive thoughts causing fake feelings so obviously he got a bit upset and worried last night. So I feel I’ve hurt him by trying to explain these “fake feelings” I also said to him I worry about betraying him when I’m in that ‘fake’ state of mind. He’s such an amazing guy, I wish I could be better for him x

I’ve only been with my boyfriend around 6 months so we are new too. My mind does that too! I think “feeling a bit annoyed at him for no reason, maybe I should just be single so I can do what I want etc” and it’s not how I feel! But in that moment those ‘feelings’ feel too real! It’s so hard. Stay strong love x

Can intrusive thoughts come with false emotions?
I’ve asked this before and got no response but can ocd try to make you feel a certain way that you don’t actually feel? Such as telling you you’re jealous or upset in a situation when you don’t even care or feel that way at all. Can ocd cause you to feel the emotion along with the intrusive thought even though it’s not your true feelings?

Feelings
Hey everyone, I wanted to come on here today to just share this post because I’ve been struggling with this recently. I just wanna know if this is a common thing in relationship OCD. So last Friday me and my boyfriend had a conversation that was important, and my emotions were high and I got a little emotional about something he said and we had a long talk about it, the conversation went great and afterwards everything was okay. On Saturday I was so excited to see him after work and I was overflowing with feelings of happiness and excitement. Sunday was great and we stayed on FaceTime just enjoying the day together after he went home that morning, and then came Monday. I remember getting a thought like this, “What if I’m losing feelings for him and I’m just leading him on?” And even this thought, “I don’t really feel anything towards him right now, does that mean I fell out of love with him?” And then the anxiety came, I could literally feel myself breaking out in cold sweats and I could feel the pain in my chest after these thoughts crossed my mind. But what bothers me so much about this is on Saturday and Sunday I felt so content and happy with him and I was so happy and I didn’t have any anxiety whatsoever, and then Monday came, and I had those thoughts and I feel almost numb and I can’t feel anything else except the feelings of worry and fear and my anxiety has been at a all-time high and I keep feeling this pain of guilt and hurt in my chest and I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same. Because personally one thing I hate is that one day I can be so happy and energetic and then the next day I can feel numb and feel absolutely nothing towards my boyfriend. I’m not sure if this can correlate with my menstrual cycle as well, but I’ve heard that that can also make your relationship OCD worse and cause you to feel differently about your partner. Just wanting to see if anyone has dealt with the same!
