It's like a chapter is over and life is moving on or something. I feel like it has to be connected to ocd somehow.

Yea, once the change has happened I will feel comfortable after adjusting for some time. But it’s like my mind gets set in a routine, I get comfortable, then enjoy it. Then when I have to change the routine, instead of being excited for the change I instead feel a loss.

@justlooking So relatable! I also get comfortable eventually and start seeing that it was in fact a beneficial change in my life. I guess we'll just have to keep that in mind whenever we go through those emotional moments. It's just temporary. Glad I'm not the only one feeling like this though! Most people seem to have no problems with change whatsoever.

Yes! So glad you shared this because I feel the same way! Evenly had a baby and changed jobs and got a different car and it has all been so much! The changes were what I wanted but I still really grief the past and the losses. And I obsess over if it was really the right change and what if it wasn’t but I can’t go back in time and undo it? It’s rough!

Hi all, I’m brand new to this app. I’ve never had any mental disorders. I’ve never been diagnosed or even suspected that I had some kind of issue going on. But recently my partner gently pointed out to me that I’ve developed some weird tendencies that are progressively getting worse. I’m getting overly anxious about the smallest of things. Every time he leaves for work, I stare at the tracker on my phone until he gets through his 25 minute commute because I’m convinced there will be a wreck. I’m terrified that someone is constantly taking pictures of me through my windows and even feel like people can see through my (solid) blinds at night. Every time I hear someone in the hallway of my apartment complex I stare out the peephole because I’m convinced they’re going to break in, even if it’s a neighbor that I recognize. I check myself for lumps in my body every morning and every night, and my partner too, even though neither of us have any scary medical history. I unplug everything with a cord every night before I go to bed because I’m terrified that something is faulty and my apartment will catch on fire. I am constantly afraid of being sued by people I don’t know even though the worst thing I’ve ever done is gotten a speeding ticket. I have dreams that people are sending me threatening mail and it stops me from opening my actual mail. There are so many more, I could go on forever. Writing it all down, I know it’s stupid. I just don’t know if feeling this way is normal. There are people out there that have actual stressors and here I am working myself up a million times a day over nothing. Do normal people feel like this? I thought it was normal.

Does anyone deal with rumination with their childhood past mistakes. Deep down I know I didn’t know any better but then I start having thoughts and it gets worse after that. I also recently have dealt with death in the family, started my period, started college and just moved to my own apartment this last month. :-/ I genuinely just wish I could let go of my past I feel like I could be a better person for myself mentally if I could just let it go.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on here. I hope you are all well. I’m currently experiencing what I call ‘anticipated regret’ and the only way I can describe it is having thoughts such as: “If you don’t do X thing then you will regret it later in life and not feel fully fulfilled.” It’s giving me quite a bit of anxiety as I just want a peaceful life without worrying about experiences I haven’t had. I hope this makes sense!
