It’s like the feeling became apart of me now… I knew it was ROCD in the beginning and it was difficult but I was still able to make love to my partner still… but the more I got depressed I felt myself drifting away from him… trust me when I say I loved to touch my partner cuddle and give long hugs. That was my favorite partner of the day was the long hugs. ❤️ but since we’ve both been depressed we haven’t been doing that much as of lately…

My friend asked does he give enough love? Lately it’s difficult bc we are both seriously depressed. How can people show love when they are both deeply depressed

i am in a long term relationship. it is normal for people to go through periods where romance is on the back burner. it doesn't mean you love each other less. it's a normal phase everyone goes through for one reason or another. i think it would be comforting to have a heart-to-heart conversation with your boyfriend about how you're feeling. and i am sure your boyfriend would also like to talk through what he's going through. having this conversation i feel is not seeking reassurance over your OCD, but it is necessary to discuss things like this between you and your partner. your friend doesn't seem to be helping you in this situation.

We have talked about it. We’re both very stressed bc we have to move out of our roommates home by January and it’s causing us to freak out badly. This is a first for us to be like this in the 11 years we’ve been together. I try to avoid talking to my friend bc of house super critical she can be. I’ve been deeply depressed for over a year bc of a conversation my partner had with me over a year ago. He told me that he opened Pandora’s box from that conversation and knows how bad mental state has gotten. I told him everything that I’ve been feeling and how I don’t feel like things are the same anymore since that conversation. How I am basically in a losing battle with my depression that I had thoughts of suicide. I told him that he’s the only person I’ve ever had ROCD with and how I wish I had a normal mindset. I told him how much I hate myself everyday. He said he hasn’t liked himself either with his depression. I’m scared of moving, I’m scared of change in general even though I know it needs to happen. I told him how I’ve been even doubting his love for me bc he feels like a stranger to me right now.. it’s torture for me.. He told me if he didn’t love me he wouldn’t be with me at all. He said that he’s not willing to walk away from our relationship. I’ve told him that I don’t even have a sex drive bc I’m that deeply depressed… I even talked about my uncle who passed away recently how I lost the only father figure I’ve ever had in my life since my real father was in and out of my life. I told him how during the funeral I didn’t cry once and it made me feel heartless.. how I didn’t even panic about my own mother’s health problems. I felt no love for anyone and even saying it feels fake. My mind is completely warped from my obsessive beahavior. I even asked why he loves me and he told me out of everyone in his life I am the only person who never gave up on him and who has faith in him.

for me it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel in love with my boyfriend anymore. i’m trying to keep myself from compulsing since my compulsions are all mental. it’s like the thoughts consume my mind every second of every day and i can’t catch a break. it’s like i want to be with him so bad but my brain won’t allow me. any advice?

I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this

Hi all!! Its been a while since I've been in here and typically I come on here to give advice and encouragement which i still plan to do but i really need encouragement right now. I typically deal with so-ocd but right now its taking a back seat or just disappearing ( which I'm not complaining) but now my rocd is really coming in thick and heavy and Im overly anxious but i have had panic attacks to the thoughts and its just been heavily attack me on my feelings towards my bf. I love this man with my literal whole being and I want to marry him and I know he feels the same cause we have had discussions on marriage. But lately and idk if its because of my period starting (sorry tmi) and all the hormones but i can't feel my emotions all that well, and the thoughts are constantly telling me i don't love him, i don't want to talk to him which are all false me and him are long distance rn which is hard but we push through it. I really hate these thoughts and all it makes me want to do is scream and cry. Like i said not overly anxious but definitely just want to scream and cry and of course cause Im not overly anxious my ocd picks up on that says oh see your not anxious with that so it must be true. I'm just hot mess y'all:( But anyways word of encouragement keep pushing y'all all got this and Im proud of every single one of you!!
