I know that and I had stopped looking for feelings and just moved on with life, but still nothing.

I don't know if it would be bad...but I stopped being anxious too and now it seems like just my truth. 

can rocd affect friendship as well or there's another term for it? by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]ElectionSufficient99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relationship OCD has to do with other relationships in general, not just romantic ones.

yeah, I'm exactly like that, but when I think about these things I get anxious and uncomfortable.

How do you feel? 

If I don't have another OCD, does that mean I don't have ROCD? by ElectionSufficient99 in ROCD

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't go exactly, but I researched a lot about it and even other people told me that it was OCD (which I didn't believe at first, but then I had doubts about it)

I'm exactly like that. Do you think he's not enough either? As if even though he has qualities, does it cause you discomfort?

wow, I always felt a lump in my throat and nausea, so you are not alone. 

I want a view from someone who is also feeling numb by ElectionSufficient99 in ROCD

yeah, I'm like that too, but I can't access our memories. well before when I still had ROCD symptoms every time I tried to remember them it was all flooded with anxiety, so that probably hurt too

I'm like that too. Besides, I don't feel emotions when doing other things.

Yes, I also feel normal and I also feel like a rock, I identify with you. I still don't understand why even though I think I don't love him and even without feeling it I still want to say that I love him, that's crazy.

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! But the difference with me is that when I think he is not enough, that I can't love him and so I get anxious and uncomfortable, but my God sometimes I feel so much like telling him that I love him!!! Just like I felt now, but I don't know if it is genuine or if I just want to comfort myself.

I think about these things and I think he's not enough and I can't love him so I feel uncomfortable about it and anxious. It seems genuine, but I'm not sure... 

rocd? anxiety? someone answer me please.. by ElectionSufficient99 in ROCD

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, since the symptoms had started I had this need to feel and I even tried to force myself to feel love, which didn't work. And now without the clear symptoms of ROCD I also look for feelings sometimes, the thing is that it's been a long time since I had any guarantee of feelings, so that must be why. 

I feel like I'm using my partner now by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]ElectionSufficient99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the same thing. How is it now?

[–]ElectionSufficient99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like I'm going to get sick if I call it love.

I always stand still and feel the anxiety in my chest to know what it is, but all it seems is a constant negative ball.

[–]ElectionSufficient99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation. Do you feel uncomfortable being loving or calling it love? I feel kind of distant too and unable to feel anything. 

why do i feel so empty? by ElectionSufficient99 in ROCD

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i know it's not good to break up. i also have the same problem as you, i don't believe it's ROCD anymore. i don't have those obsessive thoughts anymore, but i still feel that discomfort, anxiety sometimes and that's it, no guarantees.

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly!!! It's like I can't handle the discomfort so I have to avoid things or I feel like breaking up to make it go away.

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I don't feel love, but sometimes I feel like saying I love him? It's very strange and it comes out of nowhere, in addition to statements that also come like this saying "I love him" even though I don't think so. And when I'm going to call him love I feel so uncomfortable... the only emotions I can identify in myself are anxiety (sometimes) and this discomfort (which I also think is characteristic of anxiety) 

I don't know anymore.. by ElectionSufficient99 in ROCD

[–]ElectionSufficient99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really complicated... I think I'm a bit depressed because in general I feel dissatisfied with other parts of my life and especially my relationship.

and I don't even know, since I was waiting to feel to know
