It’s like I can’t even argue with it anymore. It feels so genuine and real like I just don’t want to be here. I don’t know it’s so weird. Like it feels like I’m going to do it

@cozycat i can’t explain how i feel either i just keep saying i feel so weird. but im definitely falling into compulsions more and it’s making me feel stuck also. i can’t tell if this feels more real then when i first started showing symptoms

@cozycat i have that exact feeling. but at the same time i do not want to do life without him. it’s so frustrating. like the other day i messed up and he got upset with me and my brain immediately was like he’s breaking up with you and i ugly sobbed for like 3 hours straight

@ anonymous It’s like I feel it in every bone of my body and I can’t fight it anymore. It’s so uncomfortable feeling. It’s like I don’t even believe myself when I say I love him or want to be here anymore. Is that normal

@ anonymous Like I’m lying to myself and to him. But because I feel like I “know” it just mainly feels like I’m lying to him

@cozycat And it’s like I don’t want to be around him which makes me think it’s even more true. And like I’m just searching for ways out and all of that stuff. It feels so natural compared to other thoughts but others say that they feel that too but it doesn’t make it any better or give me any feelings of relief

@cozycat i think it’s just another one of ocds tricks tbh. we wouldn’t be thinking it’s actually if ocd didn’t make it feel actually real.

I feel the exact same way. It’s like I’m actually thinking these thoughts and it’s not the ROCD. I used to love every second and took every opportunity to be and spend time with my partner but it’s as if I want to but there’s something in my body that’s repelling them from me or won’t let me love them :( I know I love my partner so much and I want to be with them, I see a future with them but it feels as if I don’t even care anymore or I have thoughts about me hating or feeling repulsed by them. Do you guys experience this?

Yes except my mind keeps telling me that I don’t love my partner so it makes it hard for me to tell if I do or don’t

@cozycat Yes my mind saids these things too, it’s really hard. Keep your head up and some days are going to be easier and harder then others. You just have to learn to sit with the uncertainty and accept the thoughts, don’t agree with them but let them be present and act is if you don’t care, say “maybe I don’t love my partner, great!” It sounds silly and fake but we have to rewire the brain to not see this as a threat and overtime the thoughts will slow down.

@cozycat I’ve felt everything you’ve felt and then some. There are days where I don’t even know what is me and my OCD, there are days where my OCD tells me I don’t even want to text them, but at the end of the day I choose to be with my partner because love is a choice, not a feeling and they’re worth it. You decide, not your OCD

It keeps feeling like I know I want it though. Is that ocd or just me knowing.

Maybe i dont want to hurt him??? im always questioning my feelings for him 24/7 for over a year. I wm tierd

I broke up with my boyfriend today because of how bad my anxiety had gotten I couldn’t tell what was my heart and what was my head. I’m heartbroken because I feel like I lost my best friend and I truly do have love for him and want him in my future. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. We broke up because I’m not on medication for my anxiety and have a doctor’s appointment coming up on Wednesday to see about getting some. I still feel anxious after our breaks but I feel guilty to admit that I do feel better. I’m still just anxious in general a little and I don’t know why. We had decided to stay in touch but not on a daily or even weekly basis, just because there is no hate in our relationship just pure love. I’m just so scared and sad that I really will lose him and be all alone.

I really need help. My brain is torturing me right now. Basically me and my boyfriend went through a really rough patch and he wasn’t communicating what was wrong and I started to just lose feelings and not feel how I used to which was the most upsetting thing because I swear we are soulmates. Anyway so we broke up for like a day before he realized he’s really sad without me and he is finally willing to work on communication and our issues and this is the most I’ve really ever felt he notices it this time. I am supposed to go see him and he is so excited and I’m freaking out. I want to see him but I keep thinking how it’s triggering for me cause I don’t want to go back to that rough patch cause it lasted a long time. I want to try again but I also feel like it’s easier to just run away from everything. It feels like I got to know his personality but that isn’t fair to say because now he’s aware and wants to change. I’m scared because I know feelings can come back and I hope mine can cause right now I just keep replaying the past and the bad stuff. He seems really willing to work on it this time which should make me so happy but I’m also so scared things will go back to how they were and I’m worried if I’m this anxious my body is telling me he isn’t right for me and that it’s not ocd which would really upset me because I’ve had such hope. I know my feelings started to go away but that’s cause of how we were to each other and now we are aware of the problem. Does it mean I shouldn’t be with him if the thought of trying again makes me so anxious or is that just the fear? I wish this wanting to work through things happened before I felt like this and now I’m scared I won’t get it back. I’m also scared that there is someone out there better for me and by being with him I’m blocking that. But the thought of being without him makes me so sad. I want to try to see him differently and maybe see it’s different but I’m scared it’s not. I’m afraid of a million things. What if it’s too late and I can’t get my feelings back? What if I’m forever anxious around him? What if being with him prevents me from meeting other people? I haven’t seen him in a while cause he was away and people say I won’t know how I feel till I see him. It feels like once I get there I already know though that I’ll have the same thoughts and won’t be able to get back to how I felt because it became uncomfortable but I’ve heard I’m anticipating it. I’m scared it’s gut and not ocd
