You have to challenge those what ifs! WHAT IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT? WHAT IF NOTHING BAD HAPPENS? WHAT IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT?
This is so positive I love it!
Hate the what ifs. Guess we gotta learn to live witch then.
When you are stressed/sad, it takes a toll on your relationship. You may not be thinking about it at the time, but it really does influence how you feel about everything. Give yourself a little compassion. ❤
I realized something yesterday when I panicked about something else I was fine for a spilt 2nd. I was able to kiss and even playfully touch him.
@Mandy7710 Right? It’s like if your brain is freaking out and needs to freak out about something
@Mandy7710 Exactly. That happens to me too. If I have somewhere else to channel the stress, I'll feel fine.
@Anonymous I think about my relationship 24/7 so it stresses me out badly.
@Mandy7710 Exactly. And that likely comes from how during our developing years, we were taught to idealize relationships as a way to "save us." Like in disney movies. We have to learn to retrain our brains so that we don't look to our relationships to fix us or make us happy. That has to come from ourselves. It's really hard!
@Anonymous I’ve been deeply depressed due to ROCD for over a year now. But I think my depression has rubbed off on him in a very bad way…
@Anonymous Like I knew it was ROCD making me very depressed but now that I don’t feel too many symptoms of it Bc I got so use to it I am starting to feel like it’s Bc of my partner.
But what if the relationship has issues? Some not a lot. But the issues are not helping my depression and he has anger issues which makes me unhappy when he does it. He’s been very depressed too. Like VERY… how can we work on issues when we are both very depressed and sad most of the time? I know it’s our living situation Bc we live with roommates in a tiny room for 600 dollars. Which goes towards other things.
I know I love him a lot. I really want my relationship to be happy again like before… I am even crying typing this… 😭
How can a relationship be saved from ROCD and depression!? Like I really don’t wanna end it but it feels like I don’t care anymore…..😢
My partner and I did have a small talk this morning. It started Bc I’ve been obsessing about my car making weird sounds and been obsessing about working too hard at my new job that I’ve only been too for like a month now. He told me out of everyone he knows I obsess non stop never relaxing and enjoying my time. He said I have very bad obsessive behavior that has developed very badly. Even my best friend who I talk about this with says that I have a very stubborn personality and that I continue to obsess about things making my own life difficult. They both basically tell me the samething all the time. My ocd has token over my life completely. When I lock my car for work I fiddle with every lock 6 times just to make sure it’s locked completely. I can’t even look at things positively anymore about anyone. Besides my partner’s anger problems he has a very funny personality that made me fall for him in the first place.
