Me too can you please share some tips😭😭
I’ve been doing scripts where I write out worst case scenario and I read it a few times. It definitely takes some work and it can be hard but I’m playing into the fear. I’ve also been working on it with my therapist.
Something that had helped me a bit is to sing and dance to your intrusive thoughts. For example I sing “I don’t love my husband anymore, I don’t love my husband anymore, I don’t love my husband anymore, and I don’t want children with him” to the tune of Happy Birthday. Make sure you smile and dance to it! It’s uncomfortable but helps make it feel less scary!
For me tooo! It's so hard sometimes but we can do it!
Mine has been stronger with my relationship too and it's so scary 😭 whenever my bf talks bad about himself my brain and stupid intrusive thoughts agree with him and I have the urge to tell him I thought that even tho I never want to say that....then when I do say he's good enough because he is, my thoughts tell me I'm a liar and bring up all the small things that have happened in the past to back themselves up and "prove me wrong" as OCD likes to do 😞😞
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?
Recently my ocd keeps asking me if I love my boyfriend enough and that if I don’t love him enough I should breakup with him. It’s really bothering me and idk what to do about it. Sitting in the uncertainty is too much and I fear sitting with it too long I’m just gonna crack and give in to a compulsion.
I’m really anxious because I know my ocd is really bad right now so I shouldn’t try to figure it out cause my thinking is a mess but I’ve been having feelings of like I’m not sure if I love him anymore or worrying that I haven’t felt a lot like numb (a lot because ocd has been getting worse and worse) and thinking of like how I’ve been focusing on the negatives and only been looking at him through that lens and analyzing and also feeling like I don’t want this anymore. Basically just like negative thinking in feeling like I’m really scared it’s that it’s I don’t love him cause I don’t want it to be over and the thought of having someone replace him makes me ill. But like it feels like I’m not seeing him how I used to and it makes me upset. Today I was near someone I was like oh this person is cute and then I was thinking that the possibility of meeting someone new sounds exciting and now I’m freaking out because this in combination with feeling like maybe I don’t love him anymore is bad. Also my thoughts keep changing. and like sometimes it feels like I don’t care at all and this has happened but like worst it’s ever been and then other times I’m like I do care I do still feel. I’m just really anxious has anyone else felt this before and it was still ocd? 😭😭
