what do you do when you can't actually trust?
I keep thinking the worst will happen in literally every situation I'm in. I especially worry about infidelity from my partner and I know it sounds wild, considering they were my best friend before we even dated. Being cheated on, for me, only took one time. Once. And I was completely messed up from it and haven't learned how to let go of it and just...heal. I don't even think I tried to heal from that; I think I just shoved it under the rug. I'm looking into therapy now. I used to go every 2 weeks and that lasted me (consistently) around 7 months. Which benefited me a lot. I just don't think there's a lot my partner would lie to me about. This is what gets on my nerves about OCD; I've always heard, "Oh if you feel that badly about it then go with your gut feeling!" What if your gut feeling is literally always assuming the worst? It just hurts because literally NOTHING bad has happened and I don't believe it ever will. I just get upset bc it's like what am I supposed to do? I can't just come out and say all this or what I'm actually thinking about bc it's gonna make me sound insane.
