I hate rocd
I remembered I think I went on Instagram sometime last year and I looked up the account of this guy from highschool that I embarrassingly liked in my senior year and made a fool of myself (graduated 3 years ago) and I think I was wondering if him and his girlfriend were still together because I remembered he used to mention her in class and Iād see them walk together and such and we were sort of acquaintances I guess and I think remembered an embarrassing memory from high school i dont know why but I think i would get memories and such sometimes and Iād wonder and then Iād be like āHmm let me checkā which my ocd attached to and was like āWhat if you did this out of unloyal intent?ā Or what if youāre lying to yourself? What if you said something wrong or flirty or unloyal?ā And I started spiraling. Iām pretty sure I got curious and checked when my fiancĆ© and I had just started dating but I know Iām a curious person so I know it was just out of curiosity, because Iād never ever want to intentionally hurt or upset my fiancĆ© because I love him so much. I also remembered an instance where my fiancĆ© and I went to a car show with his friends and I always hate seeing people I graduated with from high-school, it was embarrassing or weird to me because they knew how I was in high-school, but I saw him there, and I just kept glancing over to see where he was I guess because I saw at some points heād glance over at me and stuff. And id see him and his friends laugh so I dont know I felt sort of anxious when Iād see him and I remembered Iād do my best to avoid them because I could just feel the anxiety in my body, and I was embarrassed since my highschool self really embarrasses me when I think of how desperate I was for attention and now my anxiety and OCD attached to it and is trying to convince me my actions were for other reasons and Iām panicking about it, itās making me feel like I cheated or I was disrespectful to my relationship. And recently my fiancĆ© and I went to this same car show again where I saw that guy at previously and when we were walking around someone near us who looked like him I remembered I was glancing at the cars and I saw that person and I felt like a pang of anxiety in my chest and just this anxious feeling in my stomach it was like my stomach dropped. My ocd has latched onto it and is like āWhat if you wanted to see him?ā And so on, I tried telling myself later āNo stop putting lies in my headā and such but just so many other intrusive thoughts came after. I hate this ocd so much and I just Iād never ever want to upset my fiancĆ© he is my world and more and just I get so upset that he also has to deal with all these things in my head :( I also deal with compulsive staring which makes this so much worse especially when Iām triggered because it causes me to basically continuously stare at the person or object that triggered me and itās like my brain forces me to look itās so annoying, and then my ocd latched onto that and tells me it āmeans somethingā I hate this ocd so much ugh I just want to get rid of it :(
