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.

Telling a partner about POCD
Hello everyone! Is there anyone who told their partners that you experienced POCD in the past or that you are experiencing right now? How did they handle it? Did they understand it? Were they supportive? I'm creating future scenarios in my mind that I need to confess this to a future partner.

How do you tell friends and family
How do you tell friends and family about ocd? Like it makes me so anxious and I feel like such a terrible person. A lot of my intrusive thoughts are on my kids. And I hate every single thing that comes into my head.
