i think feeling peaceful during these thoughts means growth! you're doing the good work, and the thoughts aren't hurting you as much.

I completely understand this. The way I looked at it was because I felt peaceful about it wasn’t because I didn’t want to be with him I was peaceful because my brain thought that was the solution to being peaceful. I dont want to break up with him I want to break up with the thoughts

I don’t want it to be true but I’ve started to think about it like it is

Okay. Because my cousin (who is overly protective of me) keeps pointing out everything bad about him, and I won’t lie he has a grumpy streak (nothing abusive or anything like that) but Is just comfortable enough to kind of let out his grumpiness around me, and she keeps saying he doesn’t respect me. So I’ve been really over analyzing that and feeling like I should be more upset about it

@BlueMountain She says he criticizes me a lot and I don’t see that he does it often. He does occasionally but I also criticize him sometimes idk

@BlueMountain Because now I am just focused on that stuff. And like of course our relationship has problems as every single one does but in the midst of ocd I really don’t need other things to focus on. Both my partner and I are very open about our feelings and needs

Worried about not being anxious?
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

Am I normal
So at one point I was glad I was having anxiety/stress about these thoughts but now I feel like something has changed is it normal to not want anxiety and stress even tho it helps me realize these thoughts are not mine. Like the anxiety and stress is doing me no good and it's really messing me up. Is it normal to not want stress and anxiety after awhile or is something wrong with me

HELP PLS I NEED ADVICE
Ii spoke w my bf this weekend and he mentioned that he has thoughts just like me, but his don't bother him like me. I then felt a lot better and he tried dissecting one of his thoughts like I usually do and realized it felt more real for him after. That made me realize that none of my thoughts were ever true and I blew them up. However, yesterday I had a thought ab “wait wut if you liked that one guy? How dare you bc youre supposed to love your bf and not secretly like someone else” and treated it as I usually did bc I accidentally wanted to see if it was true but didn't rlly but I would check to see if it was there and now that thought feels so so so real now and I feel really bad how do Ik it's not real? I feel so bad and guilty bc lividly this makes 0 sense but it feels so prominent. It felt pretty real when it happened yesterday too. And now I feel awful bc how is it possible after my clarity the other day? Why does it feel so prominent 😞😞😞
