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

Struggling with potential ROCD
Good morning. Anyone struggle with ROCD? When I think about what I have done in the past, I feel immense guilty (I feel the tightness in my chest) and have the urge to tell my partner about it, even if my partner says she doesn’t need to know if it is going to hurt her and that I need to talk to my therapist about it first. Any suggestions on how to manage the urge/urgency? Thanks!

Please help
Why why WHY do I feel the need to constantly overshare?! It’s making me feel guilty af! If my boyfriend tells me something in confidence but my ocd twists what’s said into some crazy big problem I feel the need to run to my mom for reassurance, it’s getting to the point where he doesn’t trust me not to talk about stuff and I don’t want him to feel like that obviously!! But it’s like I can’t stop! Does anyone else have that? How do you stop it?

OCD Guilt
I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?
