Yeah I'm not sure how to explain it either. I think we become used to the feeling so we just feel like it's normal for us to feel this way now but we still know it's not how we used to feel. I think I just feel numb towards everything. I look at everyone and everything in a different way now

Reading these responses always remind me that I'm not alone, so thank you for this. I'm sorry you're going through it but know you are not alone!

I always find reading these make things a lot easier! in my situation, I feel like it was normal to just lose all feelings for my boyfriend even though that is completely not normal! I have to keep reminding myself that it was the pill even though that's very hard to believe since these feelings last a while and feel so real

Does anyone else get intrusive thoughts that are really dark? I do believe my anxiety/depression relapsed because of going on HBC for 10 weeks, off for 4 weeks, and on for another 12 days, and I changed my antidepressants. I've been on the new med for 18 days and it seems to be slowly improving. But I wonder if the thoughts are connected to the HBC issues or just the depression.

In my situation, I now wonder how I'm going to feel in certain situations. I just went on vacation and I wondered if I would feel the need to cheat on my boyfriend, I got home from vacation and wondered how I'd feel when I saw him, I wondered if I would miss him, I wondered if I would find him attractive when I got home. The list goes on and it's been like this for months! In the beginning I wondered if I would be bored with him. I have never felt like this for the 4 years of dating it's only been recently since I've started birth control and then got off of it. It's been about 4 months now and it feels like the thoughts are never ending.

Everything you have said sounds like me to a T. I've been feeling this way for 4 months too.

It's so upsetting! I just want to be back to normal and feel like I used to. I feel like the days go on and I'm always just wondering how I'm going to feel the next day.

I know. I feel like there is no connection anymore and it sucks. I will never be the same person.

Do you feel like you aren't attracted to your partner anymore? Like do certain things about him bother you that never bothered you before
Loading...
Yes. Like certain things make him "ugly" now. Initially I thought maybe I am just exiting the honeymoon stage, but in the past I was so comfortable with him. There were things I didn't like but they never served as reasons to break up like they sometimes do.

So weird! My boyfriend is short and that has never once bothered me until recently and it's something I think about way to much. I hate it but I almost can't control my thinking

Ladies, i understand where u are coming from! During my recovery i have gone from bein totally insecure petrified i was gona lose mu husband to now feeling like i doubt our relationship. It has hands down been the hardest part because i was always totally in love before. Im now paranoid about things that i never was before in our relatioship an im even scared to get pregnant in case we dont last. Its killing me. I jus wana feel normal again. This is so unfair :-(

My bf is short too and that has bothered me a lot as well. Also not very muscular which has been an issue for me. It drives me nuts too, but the more I live with it the less it has been an impact on me. In the beginning it was really bad. I would cry every time I was with my boyfriend and tell him "it (anxiety) is tearing you apart.".

Hi how long have you felt like this?do you get any clarity what's the thoughts like in your head

We will get through this! It's a terrible thing and it feels like it's never ending but I think we will be okay especially if we both have been "dealing" with it for 4 months.
