Confessing
I get so scared when I confess that I didn’t confess enough. I have to stop. This is good motivation to get out of this loop. Does this happen to anyone else?

Yes this happens to me! All the time! I feel the need to tell every detail no matter how difficult it is it uncomfortable it is for me. I do this so I can get a ‘fair’ judgement from people.
My brain also convinces me that if I leave anything out it’s because I’ve been ‘manipulative’ and ‘sneaky’
Ugh this is me!! I feel you.
Me too like I’m lying cus I left certain things out cus they are too difficult to talk abt
@suspectedocd3!!R I do this too
I’ve experienced this, and didn’t know it was a thing until I’ve joined this community. I’ve confessed things that were absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary all because the urge was so strong. I’ve gotten better with this although it’s definitely a tough one
Yes! Like if I don’t state everything they won’t believe me, or think I’m lying or faking it. Or they’ll misunderstand what I’m trying to say, which is a big thing for me. I find myself repeating myself a lot if I forget something, or if I felt like I wasn’t listened to properly, like I should probably reword so they understand exactly what I’m trying to convey, which is very hard as someone with a very small vocabulary from being home schooled.
@GoldenArgentavis I feel that too! I get terrified I didn’t explain enough and they didn’t understand
I’m having the need to confess that I was unfaithful to my girlfriend (even though I was not) because I drank too much Saturday night and don’t remember every single second from my evening. My OCD immediately goes to that I cheated on my girlfriend and I need to confess my sins. I know it’s only OCD, but the thoughts are extremely strong. Any suggestions? Thank you, community.
When I talk about how terrible I used to be to my girlfriend it makes me feel like I’m gonna do it again which I don’t wanna do and it scares me and then I get intrusive thoughts and feelings about it doing it but I don’t want to, weird I know.
I understand trying to find comfort in your thoughts but what can i do if i can’t keep these thoughts to myself sometimes?
