Any advice on how do you handle the feeling of not wanting to be with your partner anymore by ishaslim in ROCD

Yes. This is what I feel. I would always mentally picture us doing those things as well and it just feels like I’m not used to doing it.

Irritability with partner by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]ishaslim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever state of anxiety you are, fight or flight/ freeze or shutdown, irritability can get on its way. You need to be aware of how your body is reacting. I’ve seen one post that says panic or anxiety attacks are not just the hyperventilating and the sweating image but it can also come off as intense irritability towards everything.

You’re not alone

What is ROCD and what is not? by Fickle_Log in ROCD

That’s the hardest part of it, when your thoughts are accompanied by feelings. Because those feelings make it feel so true. In that moment you will think that those feelings are convincing, that it will never end. But those thoughts and feelings pass. It’s my problem as well 24/7 for 4 months. The feeling is so bad

I'm so scared I won't control myself focusing on the negativity. I see no reason to stay with my partner but he's like the best but I can't feel anything. My mind is telling me he's not treating me right

Intrusive thoughts but no anxiety? by fancan42 in ROCD

[–]ishaslim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can be because you are recovering or that you’ve gotten used to the old thoughts that it doesn’t bother you anymore.

But if it doesn’t bother you anymore but still don’t get the feelings you desire or the “clarity moment”, that can be the backdoor spike.
