ConfusedParticipantHey anita, i hope u had a nice time at the taproom!
Yeah, i’ve never shared any of my feelings with anyone in my life, maybe with some friends but not all my feelings still. I think it was because i never felt understood and my parents were critical/dismissive of my feelings sometimes, but i am not quite sure so i dont wanna say the wrong things. I remember sometimes when i’d go and hug my mother (i was like 10) she would suspiciously look at me and tell me “what do u need now?/what mischief have u done?” so i stopped that too, eventually.
But i don’t understand, how did this happen after 7 months of feeling in love and wanting her? It has been emotionally close since summer.
I guess its because im trying to use logic to understand subconscious.
Thank you for your words, yesterday and today i feel complete void inside of me. And my mind constantly saying “end it with her, she offers u nothing”. Its really hard. A while ago i cried again thinking of how loving she is towards me, how lucky i was to meet her and how she deserves someone better than this mess that i am right now.. She is excited and happy about us doing stuff in the next videocall and i don’t feel those feelings, so i feel like a fraud and a bad person 🙁
I think i feel the resentment because i keep pushing myself to give something that i currently don’t have, but i can’t stop now.
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
Yes i always try to see things logically because i cant make sense otherwise.
Hmm,i think i need alone time and a break? I am not sure..
ConfusedParticipantAlso, if it was normal, i would at least be able to hang out with her and enjoy my time, be myself and have fun (as i’d do with any other random girl), but with her i was all blocked, everything feels different. So maybe that says something..
ConfusedParticipantHey anita
Is it this though? I am questioning everything haha, here are some thoughts:
Was i myself in this relationship? (i think so, since i’ve been enjoying it so much!)
Is this a shutdown due to fear? Burnout? Depression? Because i remember telling some friends of mine “i feel like i dont want anything and my romantic feelings are off” when i woke up like this.
Am i refusing to accept the truth? If so, how come it happened so suddenly and violently?
Was i using this girl to fill my void?Today the new therapist also noticed (she’s the third one saying this), that it seemed i was afraid of the deeper connection/intimacy and i am treading on unknown waters (healthier relationship than my past ones), also i realized i’ve never spoken to any of my parents about my feelings, they havent either.
About the med, i took it for 10 days, i am 12 days off, is it really that long of an adjustment?
Its so exhausting, how do i come out of this state?
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 🙁
