Lots of people feel compelled to confess because of OCD. It’s definitely reassurance seeking, and it would be better to stop. But I know that’s not easy! It feels great to just be seen sometimes and have someone still love you. Here’s the thing: you can still open up and let people see you. But don’t do it because you HAVE to or because it will make you feel good or relieved. Only do it when you want to and you know you could easily not do it.

Hey i used to do the same. Then i got rid of all those anxiety or ocd feelings until 2 months ago... My OCD fixated on my relationship and my bf.. so now every thought that comes into my mind i feel like telling him. And that precious soul told me that " babe every single time, any tiny, big thought comes into ur mind tell ME" and I'm having the same urges as u, but I can't tell him everything because it'll hurt him.. but then idk i should so i feel calm and not guilty. Soo you're not alone

My mother was very anxious while I was growing up and would react to things way more dramatically than she should have. It scared me so I always looked for her reaction. Sometimes when I obsess and feel the urge to confess I feel like maybe I’m in danger and if my mom says I’m not in danger then it must be true. It’s a very unhealthy way of thinking I’ve developed.

I used to have this too, sometimes you just have to say f it I confessed it to God. You have to be firm with yourself and say no I am forgiven, loved and so much more. My mistakes and sins DO NOT define me

i’ve been dealing with this “thing” since i was 15. (i’m 23 now) if i have a bad memory that i have done when i was really young or just an intrusive thought i feel like i need to tell my mom or boyfriend. it’s been on and off ever since but since January hit it’s been an everyday thing about the littlest things. mostly about my relationship. an example is i was talking to someone random at my job and we were talking about taxes and when im in deep thought or just thinking i do a thing where i bite my lip (not in the sexual way) and i had a thought when it happened “was that sexual?” and i felt like i did something wrong and i went for a while thinking that until i told my boyfriend about it. or like my ex’s face has popped up in my head in the most inappropriate times and i feel the need that i have to tell him. (my ex was not a good person) i feel like im a prisoner in my head everyday, trying to justify thoughts or remind myself that its just a thought. i didnt know that this was or could be a form of ocd. it runs in my family but i’ve just never considered it being this. i always called it anxiety or depression but i always felt like it is more than that.

Please comment. Just say if follows along the OCD pattern or not. I don't need reassurance per se! My daughter was laying across me and every time I breathed a certain way I was getting a groinal sensation. I kept breathing like that anyways (ugh idk why), and then my mind told me I had hurt/a**aulted her that I might as well do something else to hurt because what's more. So idk why or what overcame me other than the thought of doing it because my mind told me I had hurt her already ("my mind literally made me question what to do and I guess the only thing I could come up with was using my elbow) and causing another feeling but it came across my mind to elbow her, and I elbowed her crotch or side/thigh area. Which caused another very unwanted groinal sensation. Then I began FREAKING smooth out. And I've been stressing since. I feel like as a mom I don't deserve to be hers anymore. Idk what overcame me but my therapist says it's all OCD. I was doing SO well! Is this really OCD? This has all caused me a great amount of anxiety. I feel like a terrible person and mom. I just need help knowing if this is OCD. Not wanting reassurance. Just wanting to know if this lines up with the POCD I've been diagnosed with by my current therapist.
