I had an experience with my therapist where it felt like she suggested maybe my intrusive thoughts weren’t intrusive. I don’t know if that’s even what she was meaning to do but it has absolutely sent me into a tailspin. I keep thinking she’s a licensed therapist and even she thinks I’m in denial too. My thoughts are leading me to believe that I am in love with my best friend and not my partner, and that would be the worst case scenario for me because I LOVE MY PARTNER SO MUCH. But after this experience I’m questioning everything. What if it’s not ocd? What if I’m just saying it’s OCD so I don’t need to face the truth? I know when I’m not having a flare up these thoughts are actually laughable to me, but for some reason this feels so real right now. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m so scared I’m in denial or I’ve been in denial all this time and am finally “realizing the truth”. It’s so frustrating and I’m so scared my whole life is going to explode. The hilarious part is I DONT WANT TO BE WITH MY BEST FRIEND. I mean i love her obviously as a friend and person but even if I pushed my partner away because of these thoughts I still wouldn’t be like “oh yes finally now I can be with my true love” like wtf. Idk I’m afraid I’ll feel like this forever. The anxiety is ripping though me and I’m just scared. Even as I type this my head is telling me I’m lying and making up excuses. Any advice would be helpful.
