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 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

I shouldn’t have done this (trigger trigger trigger!!) So about a month ago..maybe I watched this video (as a compulsion to prove to myself) The video was called “interview with a p3d0” And basically it was what it says, I watched or more like listened to half of it…after I was disgusted by the person, but now all I can think of is every little thing I do, I feel as if tho I’m monitoring every thought/moment and feeling I have it’s torturous and I hate it..I feel disgusting, the person in the video has empathy and sympathy and had those feelings yk, I can’t explain it you’d have to watch the video yourself but please don’t it will ruin your journey…I feel more hopeless then before, my OCD is telling me so many things trying to convince me things that Ik aren’t true, I’m just really scared I don’t want to be that person I want to be a good cousin and person to my family, I’m sick of my head and myself, I’m so tired that sometimes I can’t even think straight, my head is always in pain and idek how to help myself..compulsions have been becoming more and more exhausting… I need advice or even someone to relate to, I understand I shouldn’t have done what I did but idk how to forget it.. I had made this post already but when someone replied I couldn’t see it for some reason so I’m uploading it again

i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…
