View submission: I need some guidance.
I relate to this hard. When my ROCD first hit it was just like this, I literally just woke up one morning and my feelings were gone. It’s so rough. If it helps, several abrupt break-ups later I experimented with staying in the relationship even though I didn’t feel in love, and the love eventually came back. When my subsequent relationships have ended, it’s been for reasons that make sense to me, not ROCD reasons. I still get this feeling sometimes, the intrusive thoughts and the loss of love - especially when approaching a big commitment like living together or getting married - but I have learned that there’s usually something good on the other side of it, if I can stick it out.

Thank you so much for your answer. I really appreciate it. It also gave me some hope. And yes, I agree it’s very hard tbh and painful to experience this.
