I have ROCD and my partner have depression. I feel unseen because of them being so numb and so busy with feeling not okay and I have no idea what to do. Every time it happens my rejection wound hurts, I’m in therapy and I’m trying my best to soothe myself but it’s just hurts. My partner know it hurts me and they trying their best but when they have really bad days it’s impossible and I feel not seen. Also it’s pushing me away from them and I feel like my ego screaming „They don’t care about you.” How to act in situation like that? I’m really trying to understand them but I can’t let go of that wound inside of me. Wound of feeling unseen but at the same time I know it’s not their fault. I don’t want to leave them or lose them, I just don’t want to feel that wound all the time and stop to analyze their behavior, if they care or not. I’m also afraid it will end soon because of that and I will have less power day by day. It’s my worst fear. I’m working on my inner child and it’s the most difficult work I have ever done, ROCD symptoms are nothing with that, believe me.
There's nothing here!
