I’m glad they’ve helped you! What supplements do you feel worked best? And you’re so right, healing really is a process. I tell myself that constantly but I end up getting myself worked up over the fact that I’ve been on this journey for 2 whole years now. I can’t wait until this is all just a memory.

I’ve been dealing with this for 3 years so I definitely understand. But I took vitex and 5HTP for a while and I feel like they definitely improved my mood! I also found out I was super deficient in vitamin D which plays a big part in depression & anxiety. I’ve also heard great things about magnesium and ashwaganda.

Oh wow I want to check those out! Thanks for letting me know. At my annual physical last year I was a bit low in vitamin D so God knows how low it is now especially after staying home for so long. I’m definitely gonna try actively supplementing

I deal with the same thing. I go through a constant battle with myself and it almost just has me wondering what the right thing to do is anymore. Do you ever feel like you love your significant other but your mind is telling you that you shouldn’t be with them or that you don’t love them or that they are the reason you are unhappy? It’s so weird!

It’s absolutely ridiculous, this weekend it almost broke me but I think my ovulation period is almost through so I’m starting to calm down slowly. This is definitely the hardest OCD thought for me but sometimes others like to rear their ugly head in too. Sending you all positive vibes and better days ahead! We have got this!!!!

I just feel very ashamed of them and don’t want to go into much detail but I can assure you I’m with you in this journey. I’m sorry for being kind of short I’m just not having the best day and don’t want to start obsessing over something. I do hope you understand and know that I am here to help. Even though I feel like very little help at this time!

Ok I understand. Today was the first bad day that I’ve had in a while and it sucks! The doubts really just consumed my mind today and I kept thinking “do I even want to be with him?” “Why am I with him if I’m having so much doubt” “I feel out of love with him” blah blah blah! If you don’t mind me asking, how long have u been dealing with this?

I am so sorry! I know how difficult that is this is my first setback after a while of feeling better. I am 3 years off :( it’s been quite the journey.

Me again, have you tried therapy? I am currently looking for a therapist near me I am hoping it can help. I tried it once at the beginning but didn’t keep up with it, wish I was a little more proactive with everything then. I guess I really just thought it would go away but I guess I need a little more time and help.

No I haven’t. I don’t like when people haven’t been through this experience and don’t fully understand me. I have spoke to a few people and they often just tell me to break up with my boyfriend if it doesn’t seem right, which then puts me in a worse head space. I try to not speak about it much and just talk about it with my boyfriend and my close friends. it’s hard to tell someone that I know I love my boyfriend but I just can’t feel the love and that I have constant doubt & it may be hard for some people to understand that.

Yeah I get that100% for long time I wouldn’t talk about it much because of that same thing! How are you feeling today? Also forgot to ask how long have you been dealing with this? Hoping you have a better day today!

Hi ladies, hope you’re all feeling well today and if not, I hope you feel better soon. I’ve been posting on here more often since I’ve been going through a setback, and I keep getting overwhelmed with the “what if I’m like this forever?” thoughts. I still struggle a little bit with the original intrusive thoughts because it’s almost as if my mind forces me to think them, but I think what I struggle with most is the memory of them and feeling ashamed about them. That’s what makes me worried and makes me question if I’ll be like this forever. I hate it so much, but I’m really trying to have hope that I’ll sort of forget about this one day. I also think I need to remind myself that I just had a horrible period (lasted a month), my iron levels are probably low, and my B-12 is most likely very low. I’ve read in the past on this forum that low B-12 causes anxiety/intrusive thoughts so maybe I’ll feel better once I start supplementing. For months I was feeling fine but now I’m just feeling so down, I wish I could turn back time and never take birth control.

We’re not going to be like this forever! When I have my bad days, I try to look back on all the good days I’ve had and reflect on how far I’ve come from when I was at my worst. We’re also living through a very crazy time right now so it’s perfectly normal to feel a little extra stressed. Just remember that you are not your thoughts and they can’t hurt you!
On another note, has anyone tried any kind of medication for their anxiety/depression? I mainly try to use natural supplements but sometimes I consider maybe trying antidepressants. I’m just so terrified of the side effects of literally EVERYTHING now.
