I feel like I should confess my intrusive thoughts to my family. And when I will have a partner I think I should tell them constantly

You're not fake. You're a human with OCD. You don't need to confess those thoughts. Don't give them weight.

Hi Mitu, when I was a young teen I went through the same exact experiences as you did and I completely know how it terrifying it feels and how badly the overwhelming feeling of feeling like you absolutely HAVE to say your intrusive thoughts out loud gets. I’m not sure if you are new to OCD but what I have learned is that the best way fight these thoughts is to simply not. Let them be. If you are constantly trying to give yourself reassurance or debunk your intrusive thoughts they just become stronger. You are not alone, I promise you that.

I wish I had a dollar for every unusual thought I have ever had , I would be very wealthy, LOL ! Thoughts inside my head are personal and with or without OCD is still personal, one of the few things left in the world that truly belongs to the individual , upwards of about 90% of things I think about I have no interest in sharing with anyone else.

Anyone have OCD where you have intrusive thoughts about your spouse and confessing them is the only way to get relief?

Confessing Thoughts?

Should I tell people my thoughts? My logic is that if they were just normal thoughts then I shouldn’t have any fears about telling people, and then it takes the power away from the thoughts. But I have also read that confession is a compulsion. What should I do?

Feel like you have to tell everyone about your ocd

I always feel like I should tell my mom about my intrusive thoughts. It’s constantly in my head but I don’t really want to as I feel she won’t get it and it may be a compulsion to want to tell her. Has anyone experienced this?
