You're sufferring from false memory OCD. I suffer from it too, and real event OCD, and it is HELL. Conffessing your sins to your husband it's a compulsion, I did that too. I felt like if he knew what I did i the past he wouldn't love me. It's coming from a fear of abandonment and also you probably believe you didn't deserve him, or love. Also I convinced myself I flirted with some guy I worked with and that was not true. I lost 17 pounds of how guilty, hopleless and depressed I felt. I didn't sleep, didn't eat, I just wanted to die cause I deeply believed I betrayed the love of my life. My advice is listen to all of Ali Greymonds videos on false memory OCD on her youtube channel. She saved my life. She will help you too.

He knows everything!that's the good thing!! I know bad on me for doing that. I talked to my sister for doing that. I even thought about messaging my friends but why that's embarrassing so no my sister said that I can hurt relationships for doing that and its irrelevant it's been years. And I listen to ali but I never thought it would that. I haven't been diag. With it if I describe my symptoms to you guys you all would say I have OCD I'm pretty sure it is anyway. I also suffer from Borderline personality so that explains alot of it. My husband when he was my bf at the time has left me once for false accusations which has me scared but that was when he was a different person we are both very different now happy now. But everytime he gives me love or does a very nice for me I feel like I don't deserve it because if my past. You know?

That is exactly how I feel. You're not alone. Actually I believe my trigger is when he is very nice to me. Imidiately the feeling of worthlessness and guilt pop up. The thing is we don't believe we deserve love because we did this or that in the past, but that is not true. Everyone deserve love. We need to change that mindset and OCD will probably dissapear.

What is EMDR? Also, I am so sorry youāre going through that; you didnāt do anything wrong and your brain is trying so hard to find something you may have done wrong. I know many people with OCD (if not everyone with it) suffers from intrusive thoughts and thatās definitely what youāre experiencing. Also, you canāt control or know what actions (like the flirting you mention) that someone is going to show you. You couldnāt have known that was going to happen, and you canāt control other people. You know deep down, you didnāt do anything wrong. You should talk to someone (and mention this to your husband if you havenāt) because peopleās reassurance is only going to temporarily put your mind at ease. This is something you have to work on to get better. I wish you the best of luck!

I just watched ali Greymond! I love watching her but I didnt watch the false memory one and wow!!! It was so accurate when she said most common ones are cheating and the harm. I gasp!? yay I'm not crazy! Even my sister told me if I had an urge to confess to call her so I wouldn't confess. I need to call my husband right now lol

I have false memory real event ocd, Iāve been married 13 years and I used to constantly bring up past mistakes from when we were dating and it RUINED our marriage, but I got medication and therapy and things got better untill a few weeks ago where everything crumbled. I have a memory that is 13 years ago of me being intimate with my husband (than boyfriend) while being intimate I have a memory of sending a text to a male who obviously liked me but I didi not while my husband was under the covers . And I keep thinking over and over how disgusting and inappropriate it was to do that especially doing it in the middle of being intimate š. I have confessed this to my husband last year and he didint believe me saying itās probably a made up memory and would are not a slut and wouldnāt do that. Now i have guilt all over again for weeks and itās taking such a toll on me itās all I think about and try to remember every detail Iāve thought about it so much I donāt even know if itās 100 percent true. But I can vividly see it when I close my eyes. How do I get over this guilt without confessing? Confessing would absolutely destroy my husband.
