So I’m posting on here in case anybody can help me out. Ive just got into a relationship and I’m worried I might have done something to some nude photographs of my ex girlfriend which were in my phone when I am with my current girlfriend. The problem is I cannot remember. I remember waking up and looking at my window and my brain went : ‘what if you did this when you were with your girlfriend’ and ever since I’ve been spiralling trying to figure out if I did it or not, recalling past events and trying to remember anything and the only think I can thoroughly remember is when I was single. I also deleted all the images. I also feel like it’s manifested from other OCD, I was worrying I was talking to other girls and ended up asking them when we last talked to which they said before me and my girlfriend met which gave a lot of relief. Problem is when I think about a time it could have happened my brain throws all these images into my head and I cannot distinguish what is real and what isn’t. I ended up confessing about these thoughts to my girlfriend and she said that it’s nothing and she doesn’t care and the worse case scenario is that nothing happens and that we move forward like we have been. I still feel enormous guilt because it feels like I’ve done something wrong and I cannot shift it. I don’t know what correct exposures to do which would help me out with dealing with these thoughts. Every time I get reassurance off my girlfriend it feels good but then the thoughts keep coming back around and constantly ask things like : ‘what if you did, what if it’s not the OCD and you just can’t remember something that actually happened’. I can’t distinguish what’s real and what isn’t and it’s pretty distressing. I can’t help feel guilty over something that I might not even have done and also get a constant urge just to say to my girlfriend that I did it to relieve the anxiety. Any advice would be appreciated.

I suffer with a constant worry of what if I’ve cheated. You name it I’ve thought I’ve done it. I’m quite flirty at nature and also insecure. Sometimes hand in hand I don’t think they balance each other out as the constant need for attention to validate myself can backfire. Although I have the best partner ever and she makes me feel nothing less than beautiful I still crave validation from others. That being said someone I used to work with left over half a year ago and when they worked at my current place of work we were very close. Text everyday, phone calls you name it. However looking back I was extra flirty as I wanted him to fancy me. I wanted the power to turn him down to make myself feel better. Awful I know. Now all I can think about is what if I’ve done something. What if I kissed him. What if I’ve slept with him etc. I’ve kept our whole conversations from the minute I got his personal number. I constantly search key words to see if my intrusive thoughts are real. I can except the uncertainty my therapist tells me about as if I have done the worst and cheated I would loose my partner and our 10 year relationship. I love her so much she is my life but I can’t stop thinking what if I’ve cheated. Does anyone else suffer with the same theme? If so how do you cope?

So I have been struggling with the same theme of ocd for 4 months now. My ocd centers around past events/false memories that ocd skews to make seem bad or it twists my thoughts on what my intentions were. this is related to cheating or being weird while I have been in my amazing relationship. I have never cheated on my partner and never will and I believe it is wrong. But my ocd is telling me other wise. I love my partner so very much and I would never want to hurt him but my brain is getting to me. I was getting better. I was trying “maybe I did, maybe I didn’t”, I have been back on meds and in therapy and I stopped confessing random interactions from years/months ago about 1.5 weeks ago and it really helped. But now I woke up this morning and feel the pit in my stomach again. I feel extra critical and like why would you do this? What does this say about you? What was your intention with this? And I’m just stuck mentally reviewing and ruminating on everything you could imagine. I know my personality and I know in the moment maybe I did find them attractive but mainly I was just being nice or funny or even just a good friend, but looking back now I’m like “was it flirting?” “Why did I still snap this person” “why would I even talk to them” and stuff like that. I feel this intense sense of guilt. I have told my partner everything that I keep getting stuck on and he didn’t care, he said he understands or “that’s a little weird but it’s okay” and hasn’t missed a beat. He said eveything I’ve told him is normal and I’ve heard that from my friends too. I just really need help. I don’t know what to do anymore. I am so disappointed because I thought I was gonna be done with this, so why am I still so worried and caught up in this.

I have false memory ocd and harm ocd and I’ve really lost it this time, I read an article about a girl going missing in my city and I convinced myself I had something to do with it and don’t remember cause I had 1 drink a month ago in the pub with my gf. The girl herself commented saying she wasn’t missing and I became obsessed with checking her page to make sure she was ok, I then blocked her to stop myself getting in the spiral of checking but in a moment of panic I unblocked her and I saw that she liked a video about being blocked so now I think that was in response to me. My gf told keeps telling me I did nothing wrong that night and it’s just my ocd again and I’d remember if anyhting bad happened cause I only had one drink and that girl doesn’t know me so it’s just a coincidence that she liked a video about blocking but I worry about it all day everyday, I just can’t stop checking or trying to find a way to ‘prove’ nothing happened, the more I check the worse it gets, I’ll going to lose my gf if this keeps up, I know she’s getting tired of my ocd, pls help
