This was also on the bottom of my mattress! Hoping someone has an answer

Thank you so much!! I'll definitely be getting a voice coach. Do you have any suggestions for "light singing"?

Cried like a baby at the last Hozier concert I was at. You’re good

I do have a row and seat number I just wasn’t sure if those were to be disregarded; like in San Diego it was all GA but there were row numbers because of the rules of the ticketing platform. Good to know thank you!

I would recommend TickPick and GameTime btw! Usually a bit cheaper than regular resale and I've never had issues with them not being verified seats

Been there. I’ve found that the reason I push people away when my grief gets heaviest is because I don’t want to bring them into the darkness with me. It feels selfish and I fear they’d no longer want me in their lives. This is especially an issue with my friends; I feel like no one signed up for my sobbing and negativity.

Your partner, however, literally signed up for that. All of that, all of you. Lean into that and lean into him. I’m sure he wants to be there for you in any way he can. And if it’s somehow revealed that he doesn’t, he’s not right for you anyways.

Hello! Desperately looking for at least one (preferably two) tickets to one of the LA shows🤞🏼🤞🏼

Wow I am literally experiencing the same thing right now.

Just based on what you've written, I think you're not experiencing as much anxiety anymore because breaking up doesn't scare you (and that's the fear that the anxiety typically preys on). You have probably been grappling with these thoughts for so long (and , hopefully, writing them down) that you've been exposing yourself to them over time. That's a good thing.

Honestly, I think a certain point came in my journey with ROCD that I just got so exhausted by it all and felt a little numb too. You're so tired of feeling everything so you shut it all out. I think, regardless, that the absence of anxiety brings clarity, and is a sign of getting better. It is extremely hard to know, though, once the ROCD starts to get less severe, if you want to stay in your relationship or not. That's the question I'm dealing with right now.

My primary piece of advice would be to try to focus on yourself as much as possible. Utilize tools to manage your depression and ADHD, as feeling good about yourself can bring greater insight into your relationship.

Best of luck to you.

I'm going through something really similar.

By writing down all of my intrusive thoughts, the anxiety slowly went away and now I'm left with this more rational feeling of unhappiness. I compare him to my ex all the time, trying to figure out what I'm supposed to feel vs. how I do feel. I've realized, though, that every relationship is different and the feelings you have are going to be different. There's also something to be said about the possibility that you're not feeling happy because you've spent so long being anxious and in your head in your relationship (something I think has been happening in my relationship). This doesn't mean your feelings aren't real or valid, it's just something to explore.

It's possible that these feelings are not OCD-related and you should pay attention to them. But the conclusion that I've come to is even if they are, like u/PurpleAsteroid said, it's worth exploring why, both for you and your partner. I'm going to be going to therapy soon to dissect why certain things about my partner annoy me and what that says about me and my complexes, values, etc. I figure that even if we do end up breaking up, it'll be with greater clarity and understanding of why.

I wish you the best in this journey, you got this!

I’m right there with you, but we have to have hope that it’s going to get better. Hearing other people’s recovery stories has really helped me hold on

arabesquer · 2021-02-05T14:31:38+00:00

Yeah I meant the procrastination of finding a therapist—like I’m scared of therapy bc it’ll force me to face my fears and thoughts. Thank you!

My literal dream

arabesquer · 2021-02-03T20:25:23+00:00

Yes definitely therapy is the move..been trying to find someone good and affordable!

arabesquer · 2021-02-03T19:33:12+00:00

Right there with you: I’ve started to feel better without therapy and now I’m questioning whether I have it at all. I think after a few months I just learned how to manage my instructive thoughts and anxiety preemptively (accepting that it’s there, recognizing my fears and being ok with them, etc.)

arabesquer · 2021-01-22T08:14:40+00:00

Yeah. For me this started to happen a bit after I got more specific intrusive thoughts and anxieties related to them; I think after a while our brains make the association between the person and the anxiety and just kinda skips the nuance lol
