You’re not alone- for me it comes in waves. One day or two days will be perfect- then I get stressed out and can’t control the negative barrage of “he’s doing this” “what if he did this” “we don’t mesh” etc.
@whit89 That’s where I’m at right now
I can relate. I also have a lot of trauma so I wonder if it’s from that? But I find my mind constantly ruminating over what we are, how comparable we are, if we’ll end up together. I have so much fear wondering what we are & if he’s “the one” I’m also autistic so my brain thinks very black or white & I find that he’s either all good or all bad - no in between. He is the most incredible person I’ve ever met so it’s exhausting feeling this way. Sometimes writing out a pros & cons list helps me.
i dont know if im lucid enough to state this, but my fear comes from the fact that its no longer intermittent for me. always doubt.
so i dont know if its rocd anymire
If they see your flaws and are still with you, what does that say to you?
do someone want to talk on telegram
I don't know. I just fucking went down a huge rabbit hole of this lady on ROCD Reddit who described something very similar to how I feel about my boyfriend. She was so scared to break up but wanted to anyway bc she wanted to explore and stuff. A lot of the stuff she wrote was things I swear I could have written myself. And I feel so anxious and sick bc she ended up leaving her boyfriend. She's not happy now but feels it's the right choice. I'm so fucking scared - bc I feel like I need to do it now. I feel in ways no ROCD sufferer has felt and I swear this is true. What the fuck??
For the past 3 months ish I’ve been struggling on and off with this anxiety and fixation over my relationship. To wondering if i still have feelings for an old friend, wondering if i actually love him, wondering if the thoughts are all real and im just trying to cover it up with ocd. It sucks, when im talking to my boyfriend i feel fine. The words i love you and talks about the future come naturally. I can’t imagine myself with anyone but him. But this constant rumination on my relationship is KILLING me and I’m scared it’s going to ruin what i have. It makes me numb and disconnected which therefore makes me believe the thoughts even more. They just feel so real sometimes and it’s so scary like why can i not just enjoy it. We’ve been together for a while so i know there’s periods of like feelings ebb and flowing but this is so much more. It’s just constantly sitting on my chest with anxiety. My compulsions are coming on this app, looking at photos of us and confessing it to him. He’s very understanding and helpful. I love him so much. I just need help / I’m also just starting new meds as well ..
I feel like my Rocd has become more sophisticated. It’s made me feel as if my healthy loving boyfriend is this terrible person. Or I’ll be thinking to myself like “I love him”, and in middle thought I get “no you don’t”. It’s convinced me that our values and beliefs are just TOO different (we’ve only disagreed on one thing in our relationship, but we talk it out). It’s like my ocd is clinging on to every reason why I should break up, like I don’t want this anymore, even tho I do! It’s frustrating. And the idea of doing erp terrifies me. Because I’m afraid if I do erp statements, that I’ll agree with them. Can someone give insight
