Retroactive jealousy ocd

Hey .. oh man. Let me tell you, how much i feel you. I am 30.. female. I was diagnosed with Retroactive jealousy 5 years ago. I went through medication and Cbt therapy . Now, everything is better. Cause you grow to live with it . It never really goes away..cause its a brain functionality. Its nor your fault. If you come to terms with it, it will eventually wear off. I wish i could give you more advice other than a comment. Cause I really feel like we should All help each other. How I got better. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the best therapy for OCD. Your therapist should give you exercises like -write down what is the worst thing that can happen? -What really happened? -Do you think you can overcome it or live after that? -What are the 5 top feelings you have right now thinking about the "event" ? -What percentage would you rate every feeling? - Do a 20 minutes "worry time" daily ( its an activity where you write down the things that you worry about ONLY during this window frame) - if you feel the urge to ask a question or ruminate about a though just say to yourself " i dont have to check this, I dont have to know, I cannot control anything , its the ocd talking , and just refocuse in the present. - say to yourself, " if the answer or thought doesnt help me somehow in my life I should better let it go, cause its a circle that will never stop. And checking feeds the monster of Ocd. If its doesnt serve you any purpose. Just avoid at any cost to go and"check". If you do all this, it will eventually fade away. I promise you If you have any questions please let me.know. Im not a professional I just have suffered enough to know... and want to help others..

Hi thanks so much for your reply we have been together for 15 years which makes it so tough although I went through a small stage when I was younger this has hit me like a ton of bricks honestly!! Can I ask how long you were suffering and what was the turning point? My anxiety has massively gone down it’s just this urge and need to think that’s killing me it never gives me a break! My partner has been very supportive which is amazing and I respect her massively for before this started I had never been happier OCD has taken my life from me at the moment feel like I’m living in abit of a nightmare. When you saying checking what do you mean by this? I am working with a therapist but I find it impossible at times!!
