Any tips for guilt in ocd having the need to tell your partner or parents on something you did or saw because you think they will be upset about it but it’s not that big of a deal

@Anonymous oh my gosh yes it’s true I’ve had thought were I have told to my partner or my mom and after I feel way better and then I feel the need to think in my head again for something i’ve done wrong to tell them… so your saying this is definitely ocd?

This was one of my very first themes, it’s like confessional OCD and a main compulsion is to confess because it makes you feel better for a day or two, then guess what… you automatically start looking for something else. It can really make you feel like you’ve done something incredibly wrong and catastrophic thinking then comes into play. However the same with any OCD the question/problem in irrelevant. Sit with the uncomfortable feelings, they’re not dangerous they aren’t there to hurt you. Realign your values remember often opposite. I feel guilty because I value truth, I feel a need to confess because I value honesty xx

Maybe write it down? Sometimes it helps to see it outside of yourself
