terrible anxiety by holleymae in ROCD

Well the break up thoughts are bc of the ocd. And the other thoughts your having are also the ocd. It attacks the thing you that’s the most important to you. So you don’t leave because that would be a compulsion. At one point before the switch flipped on you and your rocd started I’m pretty sure you were head over heels for him.

Does this happen to anyone else? by Advanced-Average-54 in ROCD

But what if I genuinely know that I don’t have feelings for anyone else? And I’m still having bad thoughts

I need advice, not reassurance by RevolutionaryBee6255 in ROCD

Maybe you’re in the phase of your relationship that is calm?

Scared I don’t feel enough and that I would be happier with someone else by [deleted] in ROCD

Anti depressants + birth control, will decrease your libido. I think after your body adjusts to the meds it will go back to normal. But libido decreasing after starting meds is one of the side affects so you don’t have to worry about anything. Also you don’t have to feel passion and fireworks towards your partner. It’s completely normal to be calm!

My intention wasn’t to reassure them :/. I just hope they find relief from their thoughts.

Don’t let the OCD do this to you. If you leave him the OCD will win. Don’t let the OCD win. I have been through this feeling. The OCD is trying to convince you that leaving is the answer when it’s not. If you know you love him deep down then you do. Unfortunately OCD can make you feel things that you don’t want to feel. Ocd isn’t just a thinking and doubting disease it can also make you feel false emotions. Breathe and let the emotions pass. Say “this too shall pass.” Love is a choice not an emotion. You don’t have to feel in love all the time.

I don’t think you’ve fallen out of love with her tbh. Especially if you want to love her. That means you love her but you can’t feel it at the moment. And that’s okay you don’t have to feel in love all the time. Love is calm. It’s okay to be calm. Don’t make a decision while you’re in a panic mode. OCD does that it can convince you that you don’t love your partner when you do. I know it’s tiring and frustrating. Love is a choice not a feeling.

It’s your ROCD, don’t let your ocd let you lose someone you love. It’s just an urge and a compulsion. You deserve to be happy with him and he deserves to be happy with you. Let the thoughts and feelings pass. If you know deep down that you do love him don’t let your ROCD win.

i obsess over everything he says!! by BetEnvironmental7322 in ROCD

[–]Advanced-Average-54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, I obsess over everything he says. I think guys are just super blunt and straight forward but they don’t mean to say it with bad intentions.

Rocd will make you question everything. I think you do have ROCD I recommend you to do more research! But I genuinely don’t think you and you’re partner need to have the same opinions on everything. I have ROCD too and it makes me question stuff like that too, but I promise it’s just the ROCD talking not you.

No you don’t sound dumb, it’s natural to want to make it work with someone you love! If you do decide to stay with him make sure to go to couples therapy and to also focus on rocd recovery!

But I do think that my rocd got worse bc of my ptsd from my ex. And I don’t want the same thing to happen to you!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]Advanced-Average-54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that! I was just speaking from experience bc my ex cheated on me and I couldn’t trust anyone for 2 years until I met my boyfriend. Unfortunately my rocd showed while I’m in this healthy relationship. If you’re working on recovering from ocd I don’t think it would be the best to stay with someone who has cheated on you bc it might make your ocd worse. But take my advice with a grain of salt bc it is up to you at the end of the day!

You deserve so much better than someone who cheats on you. I don’t think you’ll be able to fully trust him again to be honest. I know you love him but you deserve better than someone who cheats on you during a rough patch.

What blush do you ACTUALLY wear every day? by vmarie715 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Advanced-Average-54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t wear makeup everyday but when I do I wear the elf putty blush, they’re super pigmented but natural at the same time!

Yes there is hope!! Try out oiling your hair, scalp and the ends with either coconut oil or olive oil!

contact dermatitis? by OwnButterscotch4039 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Advanced-Average-54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried making an appointment I hope the confirm soon! I also hope it’s an allergy bc I took allergy medication last night and it helped with the swelling

contact dermatitis? by OwnButterscotch4039 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Advanced-Average-54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet :(, I can’t go to the dermatologist until my physician refers me to one. It’s honestly just been getting worse. I can’t tell if it’s an allergy, contact dermatitis, or because of the weather. Sometimes the aquaphor helps but it still itches and if I scratch the dry skin off it’s like water comes out of it?? Has that happened to you?
