I also have thoughts like, do I actually want to be with my partner or do I just feel bad for them? What if I just don’t want to hurt them? But I love my partner and I choose to be with them despite all these thoughts, feelings, and urges

I’ve been dealing with ROCD for about a month and some timenow and can tell you you’re not alone. I feel the same way. I was head over my heels over my girlfriend and so in love, with intense feelings of infatuation before my ROCD really took control, it was almost like a switch. It kills me because I know I love my partner and want to be with them more than anything but something feels off, like my body refuses to love them or doesn’t want me to feel when I do so bad. I get thoughts and feelings like I don’t genuinely care about them anymore or love them, and I’m at the point where I don’t know how I actually feel anymore. Do you feel this way? You’re not alone!

Yeah I feel like I don’t want to be with her, but I know I want to be with her, I know I want her, but I feel like my feelings have gone for her, but I want everything to do with her at the same time

You are not alone! Experiencing this also despite really wanting to be with my boyfriend and see a future w him. Feels like ocd is robbing me of being fully present and experiencing the relationship but choosing them despite the ocd thoughts, feelings (or numbness), etc.

I feel like I can’t enjoy the relationship, I should be happy but I don’t feel anything

I feel the exact same way! I think the biggest thing that all scares us is the “feelings” aspect of it. We are all taught through society and social media that love relies on feelings of infatuation and you need to feel it or it won’t work. A YouTube Chanel that I love to watch is called “awaken into love” she mentions that love is not a feeling, but a choice. But I know exactly how you guys are feeling, I see a beautiful future with my girlfriend as well but it feels like my feelings have gone as well. I think part of this is due to us comparing on how we used to feel so we will be disappointed on how we feel now. I know anxiety and OCD can really mess with your feelings and well being. Stay strong we will get through this

I keep having this overwhelming thought of "I need to break up with her," however I really don't want to. It causes me so much anxiety when I try to fight the urge to the point that I'm bed ridden and unable to work. Is this normal for ROCD or am I just fighting my actual feelings?

I posted the other day and I'm still panicky and nervous around my girlfriend. It all started over a week ago with the first panic attack I've ever had while at the store with her. I looked over during it and saw her face during it. A day later a thought popped in my head that I should "break up with her." I fight the urge every day as it is not something that I want. I don't want to give up on her but the more I fight it the more my body seems to get stressed and anxious. As it stands right now my back is going crazy, tense as anything along with a tight feeling in my stomach and chest. It's causing me so much distress. Is this normal?

I’m really anxious because I know my ocd is really bad right now so I shouldn’t try to figure it out cause my thinking is a mess but I’ve been having feelings of like I’m not sure if I love him anymore or worrying that I haven’t felt a lot like numb (a lot because ocd has been getting worse and worse) and thinking of like how I’ve been focusing on the negatives and only been looking at him through that lens and analyzing and also feeling like I don’t want this anymore. Basically just like negative thinking in feeling like I’m really scared it’s that it’s I don’t love him cause I don’t want it to be over and the thought of having someone replace him makes me ill. But like it feels like I’m not seeing him how I used to and it makes me upset. Today I was near someone I was like oh this person is cute and then I was thinking that the possibility of meeting someone new sounds exciting and now I’m freaking out because this in combination with feeling like maybe I don’t love him anymore is bad. Also my thoughts keep changing. and like sometimes it feels like I don’t care at all and this has happened but like worst it’s ever been and then other times I’m like I do care I do still feel. I’m just really anxious has anyone else felt this before and it was still ocd? 😭😭
