Pushing me to confess
I cannot tell when I need to confess and when it’s not necessary and it hurts and it’s so scary. I don’t want to keep secrets and selfishly I’m sick of the guilt.

If you confess you'll end up single... i had been there, you must stop before it's too late; i am writing this with tears
@anica I’m so sorry:( I’m not confessing as much but it’s hard. Thank you for the advice I hope you’re ok
@Anon:> Yeah can't do much now... thank you
Feel guilty for not giving into compulsions like rumination and confessing? I feel guilt for having an intrusive thought, trying to shrug it off or just giving it a few seconds of thought and moving along. This sounds like improvement but I still struggle with the anxiety and the guilt. The shame. I’ll be okay and then I’ll remember I have OCD and my stomach will drop and I just want to curl up and cry.
I don’t know how to stop confessing. It’s driving me insane. I confess every little thing to my boyfriend. I confessed that I liked attention (this is so obviously human), that I liked it when people found me pretty (also very human??) I confessed about a million other things and I feel out of control. I felt so safe with him last night that it just started pouring out of me. I felt guilty and awful and I just needed release, I couldn’t breathe I felt like I was dying. I’m stuck in a confessing loop and I know I’m only making things worse. Has anyone experienced this and been able to overcome it? It feels absolutely horrible and impossible. I tried to ERP this and I genuinely feel like I am suffocating if I hold off. I feel so disappointed in myself, but I can’t seem to stop. I even had a dream where I confessed to him and woke up needed to confess that. I’m scared I’ll start sharing my worst intrusive thoughts I’ve had if I feel too safe around my bf. Help please :(
I understand trying to find comfort in your thoughts but what can i do if i can’t keep these thoughts to myself sometimes?
