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....

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.

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.

I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

Ii spoke w my bf this weekend and he mentioned that he has thoughts just like me, but his don't bother him like me. I then felt a lot better and he tried dissecting one of his thoughts like I usually do and realized it felt more real for him after. That made me realize that none of my thoughts were ever true and I blew them up. However, yesterday I had a thought ab “wait wut if you liked that one guy? How dare you bc youre supposed to love your bf and not secretly like someone else” and treated it as I usually did bc I accidentally wanted to see if it was true but didn't rlly but I would check to see if it was there and now that thought feels so so so real now and I feel really bad how do Ik it's not real? I feel so bad and guilty bc lividly this makes 0 sense but it feels so prominent. It felt pretty real when it happened yesterday too. And now I feel awful bc how is it possible after my clarity the other day? Why does it feel so prominent 😞😞😞
