Wondering if anyone know what this feeling is?

So every so often I get really strong intrusive thoughts about my DP, I then question if he loves me, if he’s faithful, is he’s lying to me. This is every couple of months and lasts for about 2 weeks and then it subsides. I don’t quite understand it, he’s never given me reason to think or feel like this. I’m 38 for context. Has anyone else every had this before? Is it some kind of mental health, hormones or some weird gut instinct?

Menstrual cycle? Gut telling you something? Anxiety?

It's called anxiety.

Lots of people have unfounded worries. I sometimes worry the house is tructurally unsound in some way I have not understood or noticed.

There may be a hormonal pattern, or a trigger you haven't noticed.

*structurally

When you find out the answer to this let me know 😂

hormonal pattern. make a note of when you start and end the thoughts and where they fall in your cycle. I used to get quite self destructive at certain times of the month.

I had this years ago, looking back I think it was the start of peri menopause.

It’s quite interesting everyone is saying hormonal, I’ve been having a few other symptoms recently too and my mum mentioned it sounds a little bit like peri menopausal stuff. I’m going to start keeping a diary of when I feel this way and see if there is a pattern. I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling like this, I’m a natural worrier anyway. Thanks everyone

I'm 32 and I get these feelings .. how weird

Banana2079 · 11/10/2022 19:54

This is typical of somebody with borderline personality disorder ..I’m not saying you have BPD but I have it and this is me
You could read up on some of the symptoms and see if they Resonate with you
There are some free online tests as well which can give you an indication Although they absolutely don’t replace an official diagnosis

Do you have the copper coil OP? If so, I would say linked to that. Google copper coil toxicity or copper coil mental health. It effects huge numbers of women cause severe mental health problems/PMDD/anxiety and a host of other issues, but not acknowledged by the medical community yet.

Probably because most copper coils are fitted after birth/during c section/after abortion so mental health problems are attributed to post-natal depression etc instead of the copper coil.
