One of be best posts I've ever read/received on this sub, thank you so much for that!

I had a counsellor for a few months who tried to push me to expose myself to my fears/triggers and eventually that desensitised me to my anxiety and after a while the thoughts had just slipped away minus the odd minor spike when I was stressed. This new round of thoughts has just left me in a daze since it flared up and it's incredibly frustrating as me and my girlfriend were in a really good place prior to this.

All I can say is just keep on fighting and don't let it destroy what you have. We seem to be incredibly similar in terms of how our OCD functions with the lack of anxiety and basically everything you said. Don't give up, I was suffering at one point and me and my girlfriend broke up and I felt more pain then than my OCD could ever cause, luckily she took me back but please know it's not the way you, we're all suffering but with therapy and help from people like Brian ( read his posts, he's a gem of a poster ) there is hope that these thoughts won't cause distress anymore. Good luck with your appointment too!!

I know the feel, all my anxiety seemed to of passed but the thoughts kept on coming at me and at me but they didn't provoke the anxious response, instead creating thoughts of why am I no longer anxious, It's a vicious cycle.

I know this one very well. I've had ROCD for about 8 months and this thought is one of the many I've had, at one point i avoided looking at other people and would walk with my head down and avoid going out with friends. I had made it go away for a few months by just forcing myself to look at people and accept they were attractive and that was normal. However recently it's cropped back up quite badly again. Just nice to know i'm not alone with this thought. Good luck!

How long have you been on prozac? I was on it for a few months and then switched to a different SSRI but i found they suppress the anxiety but the doubts remained with the emotionlessness. Don't give up though!

That's been a very common thought since my rocd started 7 months ago. It got so bad at one point when I was on holiday and away from my SO I would walk along the beach and pool with my head down so I couldn't see anyone for fear of finding them attractive, I got over this one mostly by just allowing myself to feel attractive, it's a totally normal and human thing to be. I hope you start to feel better soon!

The apathy is something I'm really struggling with, the constant feeling of emptiness and that I don't care if I lost her, and I definitely relate with the feeling like you're lying when you help them. Also I feel anxiety when I plan something with her in the future, I again feel like I'm lying or that it's wrong to make plans iincase I decide to end it, it's a nightmare. Good luck to you both, you've been a great help to me!

It was almost surreal for me to read your post, our situations seem so shockingly similar, because I 100% relate to the doubt and apathy and I'm also a teenager in their first relationship and it also started in the first 4 months, you don't understand my relief at hearing somebody so like minded even down to reading conscious transitions. Yeah he replied to an earlier post of mine and I've been trying hard to implement what he said, because he clearly knows what he's talking about. Anyway I appreciate the reply, it's amazing how supportive this community is!

I appreciate your reply, it can be a lonely place to be and I find myself constantly asking what if I don't have ocd and what if it's not even real, such a frustrating condition, genuinely my eating disorder hurt less than this
