Any advice? Would be nice to know if it has been overcome :( I keep thinking i slept with someone at a party and just forgot until recently (2years after the event)
I did! My theme is not longer that. Just gotta do ERP and embrace uncertainty. Maybe you did cheat maybe you didn’t.
@Just another OCD guy Ahh im so glad you got over it! 🥹🥹 i feel like I have to tell my boyfriend so badly but I dont think he will understand 😭😭 this thought wont leave me
@Anonymous Sometimes I’ll get triggered and I’ll spiral for a little bit but nothing like before. And yeah don’t tell your boyfriend. I told my wife every single “memory” I had and it only stressed her out. I would definitely find a therapist to help you create good ERP exercises. Mine made me write down a story of how I cheated and with who and made me read it 3 times a day. I also saw a lot of videos of couples breaking up over cheating. Hope this helps :)
@Just another OCD guy Thank you so much for the advice I’ll definitely try some other ERPs (i am currently doing script writing)- can i just ask how you feel towards those false memories (because i feel like its so real but just out of my character)
@Anonymous Yeah I feel the exact same. It all started after a night of heavy drinking. I blacked out and had to get carried home and I randomly started worrying over if I cheated. Even though I asked all the people I was with if they saw me do anything and they all said I didn’t do anything wrong but I just kept creating scenarios in my head and they felt real.
