i think ocd just strips you of your personality and emotion at some points :( like sometimes you’ll feel happy and then the next second you’re just emotionless
This is so true. It’s happened so many times where I feel like I’ll never bounce back but then I do but right now I feel like I won’t ever be able to bounce back again.
I can relate. I could actually sense my emotions being forcefully turned off when I was in a relationship. One day I loved him, the second moment I couldn't feel anything for him.
Ocd is exhausting. It does make you feel something one day and then turns emotions off for everyone and everything the next day . Do you find you bounce back pretty easily or does it take time?
@Niki.s I had a terrible terrible time in that relationship. HOCD + ROCD (above that I didn't know I had OCD all along) + toxic relationship. It's was the most difficult and worthless thing I had experienced. It was extremely hard to bounce back but would fall back within days. Now my emotions are completely turned off after breakup, I feel nothing at all. I think the only thing beneficial out of OCD is numbness rn cause I have had enough pain lol. There was a time when I would pray t God to make me feel jealous, insecure...anything but I wanted to feel something when OCD turned my emotions off. It was that bad. 😐😂
@lolocd I’m sorry to hear that. but I completely understand , I’m at the point where I just need to feel some emotion i want to feel like me again.
@lolocd I experienced exactly what you did to a T. its nice to know that I'm not alone :). I didn't know it was OCD either, I just thought I was going crazy 😂, he was really messed up too, he actually texted me last night 😬
@lolocd I know exactly how u feel. I've struggled on and off with HOCD and ROCD since I was 13 and I'm 23 now. Just know that while OCD can mask your emotions/feelings at times, it cannot rob u entirely of those emotions. OCD is a liar, and will always try to get you to believe the worst. Don't give up, things are going to get better and you are never alone!
