Keep in contact with her. That’s how you can reassure yourself that she’s okay. And try to be logical about her conditions in the army to really evaluate whether or not you should be worried. Consider her position too. You should understand that she needs you to stay strong because she’s the one actually there. You being worried will only cause her to feel worried in a place where she is probably bombarded by lots of worry. So if all else fails, just be confident for her sake at least, so that no matter what she knows she can come to you to feel okay ??❤️
That must be scary to think about. I agree with everything @KweenMira said. I also believe it’s out of your control, and to do more work on your OCD may ease half of it because the other half is something anyone would be concerned about and that’s a normal human emotion
I think you'll have to do ERP for that. Which would probably involve visualizing the terrifying scenarios and sitting with them until the emotions subside. ERP is one of the most fiendishly difficult therapies but it is just so effective. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds incredibly painful.
I’m trying not to talk about it too much with her but she knows I have these worries. We talk every day. And I know logically odds are very small it’ll actually happen. She’s combat-trained, doesn’t party, doesn’t drink heavily with people she doesn’t trust, borderline too cautious, but still...I work in forensics. My work is literally the people who had odds stacked against them. I’m thinking ERP therapy might work but I’m not exactly psyched about spending hours at a time imagining my girlfriend being kidnapped or tortured or raped.
ERP (under the guidance of a qualified therapist) is scientifically proven to work. It's super effective. But it is incredibly uncomfortable. It's a bitter pill but it will help if done correctly.
I’m low-key pretty sure I’m treatment-resistant
Hi guys. So idk who all has read about the Lindsay Clancy case, but ever since it’s been brought out, my harm ocd has sky rocketed. With thoughts towards my fiancé and even my dog 😞 I don’t have any kids, but the idea of losing control one day and acting on these thoughts is really getting to me. My biggest theme for years was harm, then went to suicidal for 2 years, and now I’m right back to harm and it’s freaking me out 😞
This is really disgusting to even talk about but I been dealing with intrusive sexual thoughts and I get triggered for everything so I avoid the news and all that but my bf was telling me this disturbing story about how someone did something sexual to a dead body and I got an intrusive image of me doing doing that and I always avoid anything bad in the news because of that and I feel so disgusted then it kept getting worse and I got an intrusive thoughts of my bf dead body and I was like wtf why would I get an image of that then my mind started bringing up family member that past away and I’m scared of getting more intrusive thoughts I’m so scared I think something is wrong with me why I’m I thinking like I love my family and bf why I’m I having these disgusting and disturbing thoughts of them or anyone it keeps getting worse I would never even wanna do that or think of that please help
My girlfriend and I had sex a about 10 days ago. She is not on birth control, I wore a condom but in the moment I put it on the wrong way at first and then switched it around. I’m terrified that I got her pregnant from precum. I’ve been absolutely obsessing about the possibility of it happening. From what I read it’s extremely low possibly, but OCD is saying she is pregnant. I cannot shut my brain off. I love my girlfriend more than anything and was going to propose to her later this year. I just keep thinking if she is pregnant will I be able to provide, even though I have a steady great income job and so does she. I think will my OCD get so bad that I can’t go to work and lose everything. I used to deal with Sexual and harm OCD, and I just keep thinking will this come back and start if I have a kid. Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone
