ConfusedParticipantI didn’t like the side effects, even though i only took it for 10 days! I felt very numb, i couldnt even feel sorrow but maybe i felt some subtle warm feelings, or it was placebo. I am thinking of starting again idk..
Thank you 🙂
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
It’s nice of you that you listed all those things. Truth is ive listened to many of her videos and even though i can relate to many, i still can’t put them to work.
I like the example with the dog but this is a conscious knowledge, the other one feels like it’s something else.
Today has been a really shitty day. I feel so low energy and mood-wise and i feel no love inside of me. No sadness, nothing. I wonder if i did good stopping escitalopram 10 days ago..
ConfusedParticipantWell, how can we not “crave” the loving-treatment and we shutdown? It seems strange to me
ConfusedParticipantIve read about what youre saying everywhere but my mind still can’t make those connections because we think with our conscious part, so it seems very weird to me.
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
Check her out when you have free time, she also has a page on the internet. it’s an interesting channel and she knows what she’s talking about, i resonate with many of her videos and i never knew those were patterns 🙂
I havent researched into pure ocd but i’ve read a bit about it, will see what the therapist says.
She is such a sweet soul and i’ve never been treated like that before, consistency, loving actions and reassurance 🙂
ConfusedParticipantAlso, i feel so bad that she gets me gifts (almost to the point of me wanting to bolt!) but i am totally fine and enjoy getting her gifts.
Go figure
ConfusedParticipantI know i know, i just constantly feel that something is “missing” or it’s not “enough” and i can’t think of any reason (incompatible, etc) so it’s either i am shutdown in that department or i am chasing the dopamine hits.
I’ve watched many videos of Paulien Timmer on healing the FA and some things she describes for her, are spot on to what i am going through.
ConfusedParticipantHaha its like a danger protocol.
I wish it happens, even though it feels impossible to even imagine it at the moment.
I feel like a fraud, she is wonderful, sent me a birthday present, wants us to have date night- videocalls and is excited about it. As i would be before all this, but now i feel nothing, no joy, spark, excitement or enjoyment,i feel like i’m taking advantage of her and i should let her go and find someone that can love her, not the mess that i am right now, i cry a lot when i think like that 🙁
ConfusedParticipantYes it’s the sensation of dopamine and other hormones probably, which i’ve never even thought could drop, that whole thing makes me doubt everything 🙁
U are right, i should build based not on wonderful passing hormones..
Damn today my mind made so many contradicting thoughts.
ConfusedParticipantI guess i am but never knew.. 🙁
ConfusedParticipantYes exactly, like being high for months and then suddenly, boom! everything crashed..
I guess it ends badly 🙁
ConfusedParticipantYes unfortunately we cant tell ourselves how to feel 🙁
Haha i like your analogies. I have to drop the expectations yes, but its like u tasted something good and now u want it back so its difficult.
Do i? I cant trust myself anymore. I mean, spending 9 hours in call with her easily and laughing a lot, discussing things, the old me would see that as a really good sign, but now? Its just not “enough” for me, ugh 🙁
ConfusedParticipantHey Roberta, i will check it out tonight, thank you very much 🙂
Hey anita
We ended up watching a movie and in the first 30 minutes i would keep checking in my mind how much i like her, if im bored, etc and i would get uneasy, but i think i let it pass. We ended up video-calling for 7 hours straight. We laughed a lot, we also talked about some stuff and i told her everything about my black & white thinking, about the avoidance when i wanna text her, she said she feels the same.. think i self-sabotaged a little, tried to push her away and i would realize that i was doing it. She also mentioned something about guys from her job sending her follow requests on social and i got a dry mouth when i heard about it. I think it was jealousy reaction.
Damn, she is exactly the kind of girl i would fall for (and i did but where is it now 🙁 ), the humour, the jokes, her laugh, the playfulness of her character. I don’t realize how everything just fly over my head and i can’t feel elated 🙁
I would also be annoyed by the fact that i wasn’t feeling like the last time in the videocall, which i know is not possible but i still hold such high standards.
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
I think pretty low mood today. We scheduled a movie night with the girl and my avoidance is on full-blast right now but i will still do it, like the other time with the video call.|
I can’t understand why my brain makes her specifically a target..
ConfusedParticipantYes i am trying to focus on the good things now, like bob ross was saying 🙂
Thank you anita, i enjoy talking to you too 🙂
I am gonna go to bed now though, let’s see what tomorrow brings!
