I deal with the same thing. I constantly question if I love the person I’m with or if there is someone better. I realized it’s quite a normal thing but ocd takes it to a new level. I found instead of worrying about if I love the person or not just accept the uncertainty that it’s possible I don’t love this person. As time goes on you realize it is just ocd tricking you and you’ll truly realize how special the person is standing in front of you.
It’s scary though... I know i need to beat this but I’m scared I really don’t love my partner anymore....I still cry about it so I feel it has to be ocd still...I feel like I lie to everyone.... 😞 I feel like I am in denial. He’s a fantastic boyfriend. He cooks cleans helps buy food has been patient with me... why do I have to feel this way I have someone who truly loves me and I feel like this.... 😞😞 I know I need to think differently but I feel like if I do I am gonna find out it’s me....
I encourage you to take action.
For a long time I felt really bad and denial. I’m still in a bad place with ocd but I’m working on it. I think the key in determining if it’s ocd or not is if you have strong doubt in something and are constantly questioning it. I’ll be having a good day with my girlfriend and notice I’ll think “what if I don’t really love her” which will spiral into a depressive feeling. I realize all of my thoughts that really cause me doubt with anxiety and depression are rooted in OCD not reality.
I’ve been very very depressed for a long time now... 5 or 6 months of it... I’ve been so unhappy.... I’ve dealt with ROCD for years but this is the worst it’s ever been... I’ve had small happy moments but it was ruin bc I started panicking... last night I felt semi happy. But now... I don’t. My friend wants me to be positive again... she wants me to be happy but it’s hard to feel anything but depression.... 😞 I miss being with my partner like before I miss wanting to cuddle wanting to kiss him and wanting to make love with him..... I wanna cry right now about it... 😖 I’ve almost harmed myself over this.... 😞
I would start with a therapist to get properly diagnosed and treated. Personally when I go through this I get really bad self doubt and depressed. I’ll constantly observe my reactions and feelings. But when I start questioning if it’s ocd or just my feelings is when I know it’s ocd. It’s just one of ocd’s tricks.
i feel this too a lot but it’s apart of my bpd too
What’s bpd?
@Mandy7710 borderline personality disorder
If not already I would try NOCD therapy. I started it and it definitely helps a lot. I’m not a doctor I just deal with the same sort of feeling and thoughts on a daily basis so I’m just offering small things that help me. A therapist trained in OCD would be your best route. If things get worse I would not hesitate to go to an emergency room. Just remember better days will come.
It’s just I’ve felt this way everyday for 5 months... 😞 how can I be so sure it’s ocd...
@Mandy7710 You cant be sure. OCD is literally about not being sure. All you can do is make an educated guess. You can continue suffering or you can take a chance and get help. You get all people on here to take part in your compulsions.
Why does my OCD feel so real? One minute I’m so in love with my boyfriend then the next I fear I’m falling out of love and that I’m meant to be with someone else. I feel so numb and empty I just feel emotionless once the anxiety fades away. It actually feels as if my thoughts are true how can I just feel like me again
Ocd warriors please some advice ❤️ Are fake feelings a thing? Or am I just making stuff up. Sometimes I “feel” all these horrible things about my partner but I know even in those moments deep down that I love him! And when I’m not in those moments it’s not even just deep down that I love him - it’s right there, on the surface. I even feel guilty typing ‘deep down’ but it’s the only way I can try and explain it. I’m a 13hr shift tomorrow and I can’t even bare to think of it and how I will get through it feeling the way I do. For the first time in a while I’ve had suicidal thoughts and that’s not really like me. My fake ‘feelings’ make me feel I’ve betrayed my boyfriend, and I feel I’m not in control and have opposite actions. For example actions I don’t want to do, that I do. E.g, leaning too close over a colleague when reaching for something near them. I don’t know what else to do?
I’m feeling like I don’t like him and don’t want to anymore. Before it was ROCD thoughts and I felt guilt about not knowing. Can ocd convince me I don’t like him when I want to. I really want to continuing loving my boyfriend!!! Does anyone one experience this or anything similar?
