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…
i totally get how draining that need to confess can feel, it's super tough to deal with. 🤍 have you tried "unstuck"? it's a new ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (just google "unstuck app for ocd"). my nocd therapist recommended it to me and it's been a big help this past month. might be worth checking out for you too!
@ChanelFoster11 Love the app!!🙏🏻
Wow! Thank you guys so much for sharing. I’ll definitely look into that
Does anyone else have the compulsion to confess? Even if I haven’t actually done anything my OCD will give me reasons that whatever I’ve done has either hurt someone or will cause people to dislike me. Is that just me?
How do you all deal with ocd confession compulsion? And the guilt? I need some tips. It’s one of the hardest themes I’ve had.
Anyone know anything about confession OCD that can tell me about it in a nutshell? I’ve always felt the need to tell everyone whatever is going on in my head and I feel guilty if I don’t. I would always tell on myself as a kid but not for the things I did wrong but instead for all the bad things in my head. Now I obsess over everything from my past and experience with other partners and have horrible guilt if I don’t tell my boyfriend absolutely everything that has ever happened or just things my mind gets stuck on. Only when he knows everything I can think of do I relax. Is this what confession OCD is? If not- does anyone else get the compulsion to get the truth out?
