Me too. Mine is causing major jealousy/insecurity/trust issues in my relationship. It’s so hard. We got this though!

Me too I have thoughts I might be cheated on, lied, betrayed. I always feel like there's something hidden behind what I see and my mind works on loops to find the truth and the answer. It's exhausting and torturing in a level I feel I can't go on fighting it anymore. When I don't have these thoughts I just have this anxiety and bad mood for no apparent reason. It feels never ending really....

@zoed I feel you completely! My partner made a mistake the other weekend (no cheating involved) but it has made me spiral ever since. So bad that I accused him of cheating bc he had the same type of water that I know he ex wife buys. It’s crazy to even say that now. I’m also 8 months pregnant so my hormones are insane!!!

I can totally relate to this. We get crazy thoughts and believe in them because of our Rocd. When I was pregnant my Rocd was really worse and felt like I was alert all day long... Because of this my pregnancy didn't give me good memories. Try to let these thoughts pass as you know it is Rocd issue. I wish we could make it one day and feel better accepting the fact we have Ocd and we can go through this

Reading this post reassures me a lot knowing i’m not the only one with this issue. I can only imagine if I were pregnant I would be the same. It’s already bad enough every month when my period comes around, sometimes even more so around ovulation for some reason. Anyways, something I thought I might share is that sometimes these thoughts could also be a reflection of other things such as insecurities, low-self esteem, fear of abandonment, insecure attachment styles and trauma. When you see it in this light, it is no wonder that we are struggling given there are many factors at play. Let’s try be easier on ourselves. One of my theories in life is if something keeps popping up, it means the universe is asking you to see it. When we constantly look outside of ourself and blame it for how we feel, we will always end up back to square one. Remember the problem is never the situation but how we view the situation ☺️

I absolutely agree. I’m starting therapy on Tuesday, and I really want to work on me because I do feel like my attachment style, and being cheated on previously has impacted my ability to trust greatly! I tend to forget all the positives, such as my fiancé and I already talking about another baby and our future together! In the moment it’s so hard for those positives to outweigh my ruminating

my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.

I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?

I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
