This is my life. It’s not so bad now because I don’t get like that without my bf present but with my ex, I cried to him and actually had him ask his friend if we did anything when I was drunk. I would put tampons in my vagina to know the next morning if I had sex drunk. It consumed me. I asked my friends if I did anything even if I remember the whole night. It’s a very horrible feeling. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this :( it will get better though!

I blacked out and my friends said I acted totally normal- people had no idea I was blacking out and my friends assured me I didn’t do anything weird. Trust yourself. ❤️

I feel the need to confess things to my boyfriend all the time. I have full on anxiety attacks because I feel like he will dump me. Try to stay strong and trust yourself.

@gonnagetbetter Thank you! Yes, confessing can completely ruin relationships if it isn’t stopped.

Thanks for all your responses. Tbh I feel worse as the days have gone on. I text my friend to clarify that I was inappropriate and he said he didn’t think it was inappropriate and as long as we’re having important conversations it doesn’t matter the circumstances. But since then I’ve felt like I had a flash back of his back and I was touching the hair on it (ew) and when he pulled his shirt down to make a joke with all our friends the day after I had a flashback of his chest - but he did take his shirt off whilst dancing in front of everyone so could be from that? I can’t get it out of my head. I had sex with my partner that night when we went to bed and I don’t remember it at all and that’s convinced me I’d slept with my friend too and that’s why I’m having these ‘flashbacks’ and thoughts. I just keep breaking down crying.

I have false memory real event ocd, I’ve been married 13 years and I used to constantly bring up past mistakes from when we were dating and it RUINED our marriage, but I got medication and therapy and things got better untill a few weeks ago where everything crumbled. I have a memory that is 13 years ago of me being intimate with my husband (than boyfriend) while being intimate I have a memory of sending a text to a male who obviously liked me but I didi not while my husband was under the covers . And I keep thinking over and over how disgusting and inappropriate it was to do that especially doing it in the middle of being intimate 😞. I have confessed this to my husband last year and he didint believe me saying it’s probably a made up memory and would are not a slut and wouldn’t do that. Now i have guilt all over again for weeks and it’s taking such a toll on me it’s all I think about and try to remember every detail I’ve thought about it so much I don’t even know if it’s 100 percent true. But I can vividly see it when I close my eyes. How do I get over this guilt without confessing? Confessing would absolutely destroy my husband.

this weekend, i went out with some friends who were staying with me from out of town and i drank too much. because of my job and mental health i very proactively limit how much i drink but i got caught up in the fun of the moment and drank past my limit. this morning, i woke up to a message from my boss about a tragedy that happened in my community this past weekend. my mind is rapidly trying to draw connections between me drinking too much and this tragedy. my ocd is trying to convince me that i caused it while i was drinking and that i just don't remember it. anyone else experience things like this? i'm trying not to seek reassurance but it's getting difficult!

So I have been struggling with the same theme of ocd for 4 months now. My ocd centers around past events/false memories that ocd skews to make seem bad or it twists my thoughts on what my intentions were. this is related to cheating or being weird while I have been in my amazing relationship. I have never cheated on my partner and never will and I believe it is wrong. But my ocd is telling me other wise. I love my partner so very much and I would never want to hurt him but my brain is getting to me. I was getting better. I was trying “maybe I did, maybe I didn’t”, I have been back on meds and in therapy and I stopped confessing random interactions from years/months ago about 1.5 weeks ago and it really helped. But now I woke up this morning and feel the pit in my stomach again. I feel extra critical and like why would you do this? What does this say about you? What was your intention with this? And I’m just stuck mentally reviewing and ruminating on everything you could imagine. I know my personality and I know in the moment maybe I did find them attractive but mainly I was just being nice or funny or even just a good friend, but looking back now I’m like “was it flirting?” “Why did I still snap this person” “why would I even talk to them” and stuff like that. I feel this intense sense of guilt. I have told my partner everything that I keep getting stuck on and he didn’t care, he said he understands or “that’s a little weird but it’s okay” and hasn’t missed a beat. He said eveything I’ve told him is normal and I’ve heard that from my friends too. I just really need help. I don’t know what to do anymore. I am so disappointed because I thought I was gonna be done with this, so why am I still so worried and caught up in this.
