Someone help I’m balling 😭
Been trying to stay off this app but I’ve hit a wall today… not long woke up and just feeling so overwhelmed by thoughts… I know thoughts are just “thoughts” but when you suffer with ocd it makes you question every single moral and thing about yourself. I had an intrusive thought come in that said “I wish I hadn’t gotten with anyone attractive in my past” while it’s putting images of their bodies/body parts in my head saying “that’s attractive” or something like that… like um I genuinely wish I hadn’t had a past with ANYONE… I’m not trying to think these things… I hate when it puts images in my head like someone’s body or body part, I don’t want to think that. I’m totally committed to my boyfriend and it makes me feel so immoral and wrong, I wouldn’t even look sideways at another person let alone think this way about people from my past… they are not relevant to me. And I am faithful and loyal x a million… I just want to curl up in a ball and cry but I have to be up and look after my daughter, with tears in my eyes. I don’t know and can’t help what I may have thought of people from my past when I was with them, that is my PAST, I obviously may have thought they were attractive and thought stuff of their body etc when I was with them, but that isn’t what I want to think now… when I met my boyfriend I was so in love with him so quickly, truly never felt that way about anyone else, he made me realise he was the person I was searching for my whole life. I didn’t have ocd when I met him, I was somewhat “normal” just quite insecure, I did not have these types of thoughts going through my head. I have quite a big past and it will list every single individual person and put images in my head, saying stuff about them or their body/body parts or about how I may have felt in the past… this is so draining and I’m in tears writing this, because I just want my life back before this happened. It feels like you’re in a bad dream trying to run away from This monster and you can’t control anything. How could I be thinking something truly if it makes me want to scream and cry and I’m hitting myself in the face at times trying to make it stop!! I wish I never had a past, I may still have intrusive thoughts but maybe it wouldn’t be like this. Does anyone else experience this while in a relationship. I know how draining it is for me, but my partner too who has put up with so many confessions which I’m trying to stop because I’ve just started again after us breaking up months ago over the constant confessions… I hate this illness and literally just feel like crying all the time, it’s evil, and wants to torture you. How can I not be upset over these types of thoughts when they’re the total opposite of me. I don’t have enough money for a therapist, I started seeing a NOCD therapist but had to stop because they don’t offer Medicare yet in Australia. I feel so alone and sad and I’m balling my eyes out.
