Oof I get this one too! I want to seek reassurance from everyone so I have to hold back the urge to tell everyone everything! Stay strong!

I’m sorry you go through this too. Do you have any advice how to resist or does it get better over time?

@Suffering Deep breathing! I’ll often just pull myself away and start grounding myself in my senses (things I can smell, taste, hear, etc.)

@Anonymous It went away for me for a few months and then I had a stressful breakup and it came back so it does get better with ERP and grounding yourself!

@Anonymous I’ll try that thank you, idk why but when u said senses i immediately pinched myself and thought pain would help to distract but that’s probably not a good idea 😅

I look back at various past events in my life where I said or did things that I feel really guilty, disgusted, and ashamed about. I replay them in my head for hours. I feel anxious about crossing paths with people that I've hurt or upset in the past or who perceive me badly, to the point that I will avoid going out in public as much as possible. I go out for work, errands, appointments, and occasionally to eat (even though those all give me a lot of anxiety), but I avoid community events where people might recognize me and I tend to isolate myself. The only people I see regularly are my boyfriend, my parents, and my coworkers. I live in a small community and I'm worried about people confronting me publicly and proving what a bad person I must be.

I feel like I need to confess everything to my wife. This week it’s gotten me in a lot of trouble, there’s more I feel I need to confess but I know it’ll hurt her. How do I just not!
