Can anyone relate?
How is that I was so worried about my boyfriend wanting to break up with me and no I’m so worried that it’s actually me that wants to break up? I want to cry

I've experienced things pretty similar and actually experiencing something similar right now. Ocd is the doubting disorder and with the doubts it can trick are mind and make all the worries and thoughts seem true but you have to find the right coping strategies for you and understand what none ocd you would want 🩷🩷 Think about things logically, I know that's hard with ocd but it can really help - think are there any reasons to break up with him? Would I think this before my ocd? You've got this, im proud of you for even making this posy I know how hard it is 🩷
@EllieDuffy21 Thank you ❤️
hey, i totally get how confusing and upsetting those thoughts can be, especially when they flip like that 😔 it's really tough dealing with those kinds of uncertainties. have you heard about "unstuck"? it's an ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (unstuckmyocd.com). it's been a game changer for me this past month and might offer you some relief too. another member here recommended it, and i just wish i'd known about it sooner!
@TanyaShelby22 I will try it out! Thank you ❤️
@Whyyocd - you're welcome!!
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.
My bf and I just broke up and I haven’t felt this sort of heartbreak in a very long time. I’m crying all the time and can barely get out of bed. Idek what to do with myself and I’m terrified I’m going to relapse because of all the added stress. I think us breaking up was the right decision but it hurts so fucking bad idek what i should do anymore. I’m not normally the emotional type when it comes to situations like this either. 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.
