I feel like Im incapable of love because everytime I am getting intimate with this guy I like I get ptsd triggers and am dissasociated and all of the medications i tried never helped and only make me more anxious and depressed. I do ERP but I dont think im getting better. It is hard to find hope because I dont know if I will ever be able to love

I get the same thing. It doesn't even matter how understanding the guy is, I always feel blocked. For me I had to do some self work before I could even consider seriously dating.

Do you mind sharing the self work that you did. I’m also going through a rough patch

yes I also need advice on the self work, I am currently almost hopeless

Omg I relate so much. I can’t be intimate because I get paralyzed with fear..

exactly same! I dont know or think if I could ever get better or be in a relationship, I dont know what to do

@IzzFizz Same! I went to a therapist today actually and talked about HOCD and this topic, and I felt a little stupid for saying that to a therapist tbh, or embarrassing. I don’t think I will ever be in a relationship, I have lost all the excitement I had before when thinking about being in one, I rather be alone

@girlwithocd.. did the therapist give you any advice? same I would rather be alone than constantly dissociated and having Relationship OCD get in the way
