Its not quite the same, but I remember how it felt when I had to tell my then boyfriend about my ROCD. It was HORRIBLE, I was so upset, but he barely even flinched. I feel like his support could be useful, but if you don’t want to tell him I understand why

Tell him, use this app to start ERP. You’ll need support and chances are he’ll want to know ?❤️

It’s no reflection on who you are or what you might do. That being said I totally understand. I have panic attacks over the fear that I could kill someone or myself. Just lose control.

I would tell him... it may be hard but he loves you he will understand that it’s your ocd and not you. Just because you have a thought doesn’t mean you will act on it or what to do it. If you want help before telling him, maybe grab a journal and write down what you want to say as if you are talking to him through it... maybe it would help release it and process it so that way you can get to a point to tell him or if you are too embarrassed them give him the letter...

I feel like I can’t tell him that. I couldn’t even sleep that well last night because of it...

I had a horrible bout with harm ocd and rocd a few years back. It was very hard to tell my husband as well but to my surprise he was very understanding and the fact that I have this problem and these thoughts doesn’t seem to bother him at all. He says he just doesn’t like to see me suffer. I’m EXTREMELY glad I told my husband! He also is able to bring me back to reality and rational thought as well, which helps me get through the ocd thoughts

Trigger warning! Harm ocd
Hi guys. So idk who all has read about the Lindsay Clancy case, but ever since it’s been brought out, my harm ocd has sky rocketed. With thoughts towards my fiancé and even my dog 😞 I don’t have any kids, but the idea of losing control one day and acting on these thoughts is really getting to me. My biggest theme for years was harm, then went to suicidal for 2 years, and now I’m right back to harm and it’s freaking me out 😞

Harm ocd
I was having a really good day at work and then all of a sudden, I realize that my harm OCD wasn’t there and then that reminded my brain to think about all these horrible things. I’ve been having really bad intrusive thoughts about wanting to hurt people or the fear of doing these things and I caught myself ruminating on things like oh well did this movie make me feel uncomfortable so I can reassure myself that I don’t wanna do these things and it’s just that fear like that I’m gonna wanna do it and it’s not even people that I’m close to. It’s literally anyone it could be like a random stranger thing about these things cause I know that’s a compulsion. So I thought I would put a message out to see if anyone could relate or has any advice.
