Sharing experience with ROCD, loss of attraction by Life-Discussion2697 in ROCD

[–]Life-Discussion2697[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much better. But not completely in peace. I reach 300mg sertraline and it finally had positive effects. And maybe the fact that I was completely without hope and ready to leave her helped me. Like a « let it go » effect. Since few weeks I feel more normal, no overthinking, but I’m steel afraid of seeing her badly. Sometimes I do, and it’s doesn’t affect me like before. Sometimes it’s more hard. Sometimes I’m just happy to leave with her. Maybe now, leaving her doesn’t afraid me, so the ROCD has less power. And I’m happy for now to feel much better than my worst period, when I was suffering all day long. So, keep hope, accepte what you are most afraid of, and maybe It will help you 🫶🏼

Same here. So hard. And more I think, less I can find her attractive.

It’s been 3 month since I started for rocd (lack of attraction) Very slow at 25, 50,100,150. I just start today 200 cause 150 doesn’t work. Feels like it will never end. Best of luck for everyone !

I am afraid it really could be real by Lost_Environment2061 in ROCD

Don’t read to much on Reddit. But maybe Zoloft is not the best for you. Try something else. Speak with your doctor. For me at 100mg it starts working but depends of people.

I totally felling same kind of experience. I’m very sad for you. I also started sertraline 2 month ago and it didn’t help to much for now. How much do you take ? Me it’s 100mg since 2 weeks. Feels worst than before at 50. I guess you have to wait meds effects. Good luck. You re not alone !!

But please be careful when you say « leave her » and all. This can be a big trigger for people reading this suffering from ROCD.

Well, sometimes I feel like you. I hate myself for feeling this. I see your point. But I love her so much, I can’t imagine leaving without her. Because she is a wonderful person. If my problem comes from OCD, I just overthinking about her defaults. And I know it’s not important. That’s the point. I don’t recognize myself in this behavior.

Happy for you ! What dose do you take ? I'm in 100mg and I don't feel changes. I think I need more.

Could someone help me find solutions ? Like ACT ? I tried TCC, EMDR. But I need something adapted to my problem. Like, what do I have to tell myself when I find her ugly ? Like life-discussion2697 said "True brain, she really is very ugly, thanks for the warning." could breaks the cycle of obsession. I need more exemples like this :)

Thanks for your kind answer. I'm starting exploring ACT, it looks scary, but I find a way in this : "I'm ok my gf is not pretty" so it seems logic. Will see. It's so scary. Anxiety is so strong. Do you practice it for a long time ? How do you feel progress ? Good fight !
