Confessional OCD
My OCD gives me the need to confess things. It’s really hard and exhausting. How do you combat this, anyone else had this problem?

Yes I think that is moral scrupulosity. I’m always second guessing what I say and what I do! Some days are ok but some are exhausting! They say to just sit with the compulsion and not do anything about it till it passes but I find it hard, but not impossible…
Wow! Thank you guys so much for sharing. I’ll definitely look into that
I just got off my session today and after having a confession to my husband last night with a compulsion, he obviously is going to have more questions. My therapist says not to confess because I am growing my OCD . However, this is really OCD and is about something that actually happened. My husband said, that it sounds like I have someone in my life who is justifying withholding information or lying to him. Of course when I have my obsession compulsions, he makes sense. Can somebody help explain this to me? How is my husband not right or is he?
I feel like I need to confess everything to my wife. This week it’s gotten me in a lot of trouble, there’s more I feel I need to confess but I know it’ll hurt her. How do I just not!
Why why WHY do I feel the need to constantly overshare?! It’s making me feel guilty af! If my boyfriend tells me something in confidence but my ocd twists what’s said into some crazy big problem I feel the need to run to my mom for reassurance, it’s getting to the point where he doesn’t trust me not to talk about stuff and I don’t want him to feel like that obviously!! But it’s like I can’t stop! Does anyone else have that? How do you stop it?
