I don’t understand why this feels so real. It just doesn’t feel like ocd anymore I feel calm and I keep getting these break up thoughts or I don’t love him thoughts. Like they’re still there and it just feels true even though I really don’t want it to be. I don’t want to lose him but even as I’m typing this that feels like a lie I don’t understand what’s going on

It may feel real, but it’s 100% not. Even though you feel calm, that doesn’t make these thoughts any more real. Feeling calm about them only means that you’re getting better! And soon, you won’t even have these thoughts anymore! I know what you’re going through. It DOES get better! ❤️

It’s like I can’t find my inner voice telling me it’s not real anymore. It’s so annoying

@cozycat I know exactly how you feel. But you’re on the right track. All you need to do is relax and let the thoughts pass through your head without fighting them. The thoughts don’t matter. We both know you love him very much. Love isn’t something you have to make sure you feel. You just are in love. And your ocd attacking your boyfriend is proof that you love him. Because ocd attacks whatever we love most. Your feeling for him are very real and I hope you have a happy life together!

@BlueMountain Thank you! I really don’t want to lose him and since it doesn’t “feel” like ocd anymore it’s been really worrying me lol

@cozycat Ocd tries whatever it can to make it feel like it’s not ocd. No matter what, it’s all your ocd! You won’t lose him! :)

@BlueMountain Yes it’s so weird! Sometimes it’s like it’s not thoughts it’s feelings. I feel overwhelmed while simultaneously being very calm

@cozycat I’ve been there. But once you start accepting uncertainty, it’s as if you realize it was never real all along!

@BlueMountain It’s just such a confusing spot to be in. I don’t really know how to accept uncertainty

@cozycat That’s true. It is very confusing. The best way to accept it is to just live with it without fighting of denying it. The more unimportant you make out the thoughts to be, the better.
