Completely relate. I analyse things before I speak to guys in my head like does that sound flirty and reword things?

Yes, I feel like my mind will purposely make me regret something that I did not want to even think. Or it tries convincing me that I did things on purpose to be shady to my partner. For me, it's very difficult to distinguish if it's part of o.c.d. or if I'm choosing. I get very confused.

And sometimes have to shake my head into reality and think, if this is not coming from me. Then maybe it's not me ?

Yes this is me! I dunno if it’s just me but I think why if I physically cheat on my boyfriend and then I’ll like analyse my body too? Also I worse urges if a guy is attractive too, my brain is like convincing me to do it because I’m not happy in my relationship or it tells me that I won’t be with him forever so I may as well do something and I might actually fantasise about it but a part of me is like no I don’t want to do that because it would make me feel guilty and ashamed of myself!!?! I will try to get rid of the thoughts and impulses but sometimes I’ll actually give in, not actually cheat but like move my head in a certain direction in this idea that ‘someone may lunge at me’ ? i then have to confess to my boyfriend

What you are saying is you are not happy in your relationship, or that your o.c.d. thoughts tell you that ?

@isssss93 I guess relationship ocd makes you doubt your love for your partner so I am a little confused.

@Melkate In my opinion if your worried about it. It's usually ocd thoughts. We know o.c.d. targets what you care about most. I have experienced that pretty much my entire life. It's like a cycle of being anxious and afraid for things you don't want to happen and your mind making you feel like they will, or make you have a thought about it. If you don't want it like the thought, it's not you. It's ocd.

any help is really welcomed and appreciated. I tend to hyper fixate on men outside of my relationship, they feel like crushes but I’m like 60% sure they’re meaningless dopamine rushes that happen with people I find interesting, friendship worthy, or physically appealing in some way. My hyperfixation recently shifted to a supervisor, not even an hour after meeting him :/ that’s fine, whatever, I can’t do much about it. I daydream and create like this drama romance in my head. Like good content for a movie or a book. Comparing it to that makes me feel less disloyal, and more understanding of why this might happen (I am a hopeless romantic, I adore stories). I’m home now and I was thinking of wearing a cuter shirt for work tomorrow because I went in an oversized hoodie today. This is a thought I had this morning before even meeting this man btw. But then my brain went to oh yeah I want to look attractive for this hyper fixation. It felt exciting to think that. I felt excited. Then the huge wave of dread hit me. I wanted to look good for another man? For a specific person? I can’t stop panicking I don’t know if this is normal, disloyal, a distortion, or what it is. I’m so confused. I felt happy when I got that thought. Maybe it was a dopamine hit or something I’m Colombian and we’re really big on looking our best 99.9% of the time. Even if it’s just to go to the gas station. I just feel so scared that I felt excitement over this one person. It’s extremely different for my boyfriend’s culture. Almost the opposite. I feel so disloyal and unworthy of my boyfriend. I doubt this was intrusive, it genuinely felt like me and I’ve had thoughts like that in the past. I just feel like a huge monster right now Please help :(
