@Mandy7710 Hi I know it's been a week since u posted but I forgot about this. Even though I sometimes feel so upset and anxious I dont let that stop me from expressing affection to my partner. I still get doubts on my feelings and if we are right for eachother. I've had this for over a year now and I'm not anxious about the thoughts anymore. I recently just got a therapist. I just want to feel happy again and be able to not self sabotage myself. I'm struggle to concentrate and I'm behing on my studies

@bea238 In the beginning of ROCD I was able to show affection a lot now that it’s been way over a year since my gaint trigger I haven’t been able to. We haven’t even been making love that much…. The last time I felt the love feeling was weeks ago… I asked him for a hug yesterday and I was able to show a little affection.

It's the same in my situation. I wanna give him my whole heart but just can't. And it's like that also for 10 years now. We're supposed to get married but I don't know what to do because in the end I really DO love him so much and I think that he deserves to be happy even if it's not with me because I'm losing faith that it's gonna get better. And now I struggle with that doubt to stay or to leave and it's killing me.

It hurts Bc it really feels as though the ROCD is gone.. I know I don’t wanna break up Bc I will miss him and wannabe with him. I feel love randomly. But now I can’t touch him like I use to… which is making things harder Bc I use to love touching him… I obsessed about alot of things…. My friend said I am self sabotaging my relationship

It doesn’t help when My partner and I have been beyond stressed out lately and we’ve been arguing a little bit here and there. I know I don’t wanna break up. But how can I stay when my feelings truly feel like they are gone…. ☹️ I am gonna do a free call with a therapist on here tomorrow.

Please let me know how that went. I am from Croatia and wasn't able to get to therapy but maybe now I will try again cause they're saying its possible now. Please can you share with me how is it going. It's hard to talk to some friend or close person since no one around me can understand what I'm going thru...❤

@LoverGirl Please… I don’t know what to do. I know I don’t wanna break up but that’s all I’ve been obsessing about. I really feel nothing for him… this has never happened before and I don’t wanna be like this… I want my happiness back…. I’m feel like I am in denial about even if I have ROCD or if I love him… I feel like I don’t even have a relationship… I can’t be loveable to him to him like I use to… ☹️ I miss being loveable towards him… it truly feels like I don’t wanna be with him… Il

@LoverGirl For too long. It doesn’t even feel like ROCD anymore. I know deep down I love my partner alot. But I obsessed about loving him so much that I don’t believe it. It’s like 11 years never happened… 😖😖 I want to love him but for love to be a choice it’s difficult when you have no feelings whatsoever after being so upset for over 1 year

@Mandy7710 I am so sorry. Are you in therapy? I know exactly how it feels to know that you love your partner but can’t feel it.

I absolutely understand you. Like I'm reading my thoughts and I can't believe someone is going through the same thing because as you say I got obsessed over it through the years and sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy but also I know deep inside that I'm not but just around him I shut down and have my walls around me and act like I don't care. Wtf??

I just want my feelings back… 😞 I really do.. When I think about before I cry Bc I want to be that way with him and him alone again. I know there are some things in our relationship we need to work on but I don’t want breaking up to be a option… ☹️ I’ve seen couples survive thru worse than this…. Why can’t my relationship survive. It feels like that. I have a bunch of walls up guarding myself.

How can love be a choice when you feel like I do!?! I want to love him so badly… A few days ago I got sad when he didn’t kiss me and over a week ago I asked when we will get married…. I thought he didn’t and that he would break up with me. I cried. He said we aren’t gonna break up. What the heck why am I like this….

My boyfriend told me that he feels like he’s losing me, that I’ve changed, that I never seem happy to see him anymore, and that I haven’t told him I love him in a long time. Hearing this completely broke me. I feel numb, stuck, and unable to process my emotions. I don’t understand what’s happening to me. What if he’s right? What if I don’t love him anymore and I’m just in denial? I want to feel something when I’m with him, but I feel blocked. I feel like I can’t express love the way I used to, and now he’s noticing it too. That makes me feel even worse, because he doesn’t deserve this. He’s been trying to help me, but he told me that I’m not changing, and now I feel like I’m the problem. Even when I’m calm, I still feel disconnected. My brain doesn’t work the same anymore—I can’t think clearly, I can’t process my emotions like I used to. I thought that when my anxiety would go down, I would finally feel normal again, but even in moments of calm, I feel like I don’t know what’s real. I feel like a horrible person, like I’m emotionally unavailable and ruining everything. I don’t want to lose him. I don’t want to feel this way anymore. I just want to go back to how I used to feel, when love wasn’t something I questioned every second. im ruining my relationship

I feel like I’m falling apart. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years. He’s kind, loving, supportive — and I know he loves me deeply. But I can’t feel anything anymore. I sit next to him, and I feel numb. I kiss him, and it feels empty. I remember how I used to feel, and now… nothing. It terrifies me. The worst part is that I don’t even know what’s real anymore. I constantly question if I ever loved him, if I’m just forcing things out of guilt or fear. Sometimes I imagine breaking up, and I feel nothing — and that scares me even more. I keep thinking: if I really loved him, wouldn’t I feel it? I’ve read about ROCD. I want to believe that’s what this is. But the thoughts feel so real. And I can’t stop spiraling. My therapist didn’t help — she made me feel like maybe I was lying to myself. My mom either tells me to stop overthinking or gets angry. I have no one to really talk to. If anyone here has been through this — through the numbness, the “what if I never loved him?” thoughts, the feeling like it’s all fake — please tell me how you got through. I’m exhausted. I just want to feel peace again.

I feel like I shouldn’t be with my partner anymore, but I have no clear reason why. I feel sad every single day, I have a constant heaviness in my chest, I cry often, and I start arguments with him. I can’t remember the good memories. Everything feels distant, fake, or tainted. I don’t know why I love him — and all my thoughts tell me that I never truly did, that I only wanted to feel something, and now I finally see the truth. The worst part is that it all feels so real. I feel lost. I feel numb. I feel guilty. I can’t feel love right now, but some part of me still wants to hold on, still wants help. I don’t want to make any decisions right now. I just want to know I’m not alone. Has anyone else gone through this?
