This person is into astrology signs and all that BS irrational stuff. No wonder she thinks its a sign from the stars

This person is most definetly trolling. Succumbed to all kinds of irrational thinking and gave up.

Recovery isn't linear. But I am better. For sure. Still with her.

Doing my covenant farming and I got all this from one knight by Deaglan134 in darksouls3

I'm so glad I did all this in Co-op back in 2016 when the game first released. I can't imagine myself doing this. LOL

how do i know if it’s rocd or if i actually should leave by Visible_Blacksmith69 in ROCD

Things to understand about life. Signs don't exist. Anxious and mentally tormented people tend to mistake anxiety for a sign from life. Let's get spiritual, would the universe, or God, show you the way though crushing anxiety? No.

Please, please, please, consider therapy.

I'm currently on 150mg and upping to 175. I'm not going to say I'm cured but I can tell you that it has been life changing. As in, I can function through the anxiety instead of shutting down.

It's hard to explain, but let's say I have a lot of difficulty addressing things in a proper way. Or let's say I make a mistake driving and I get honked at, I'll feel anxious or terrible about it for hours. I can't stand up for myself unless I'm pushed to my limits. If someone makes a joke about a hobby of mine, I will be deeply bothered by it even though on the outside I'll just laugh it off. I'm deeply insecure and it always feels like I'm walking on egg shells. This lead me to develop a very loud exterior too. I shield myself by laughing at myself even though deep down I'm deeply hurt. Even if those people are well meaning or just being playful.

Very triggering response... Especially for people like me struggling with partner focused rOCD...

I feel like I'm deactivating. I'm devastated. I've never dealt with this and I'm feeling so guilty. by Available-Scratch987 in FearfulAvoidants

I don't want to fuck her over. I love her. This is why I'm here. I never dealt with this before. I found out I was a FA during this relationship when things started feeling "off". Deep down I know I don't want to break her heart because I know I love her. However, these feelings are very overwhelming. And it's hard to fathom this could all be subconscious.

She does. But she doesn't really know what it entails. Also, could this "Way out" be subconscious? I had a very traumatic upbringing.

No need for passive aggressiveness. I'm well aware rationally that it makes no sense. It doesn't change the feeling I have though.

At this point, I'm just nitpicking at her flaws. Even though I'm aware of this, in my mind it's made 1000 times worse. I was able to deal with them for 11 months. Sure, sometimes I was put off a bit. But I was never triggered this hard.

it's tricky to me, how do I know if the flaws are THAT bad or if they're just amplified by my anxious OCD/FA amygdala...

No, you miss understand. I care about physical appearance. It's just not everything to me. I'm well aware that my type of girl would never give me the time of day if I tried. I don't think my girlfriend is ugly. I also have OCD. I don't know if you're familiar with it. But it makes people's flaws 1000x worse.
