Firstly I believe all states have animal abuse laws. I’m pretty sure killing your kitten for a satanic ritual is against the law and should be reported to the authorities. This may help you bring some closure. Especially because killing animals can lead to more violent crimes.

Secondly, you recognized red flags after 5 months of living together. Good for you! Some people spend years of their lives with the wrong person. Thirdly, this sounds like a pretty traumatic experience and I totally recommend therapy to help you walk you through your thoughts and feelings. Isolating yourself isn’t a great idea as thoughts can spiral. You can use therapy as a way to make sure you’re out of house and connecting with others.

Hmm, difficult. There are a few items there which make me believe you may take things very literally? You mentioned being a libra being an influence on your mental state? You mention that one experience = all people are alike? First, you need to ask yourself two things: - do you truly believe your star sign influences your mood? - do you truly believe one terrible experience means all future experiences will be equal? Really think about this. Do YOU believe these things, or us your OCD telling you, you believe these things? What you experienced wawas traumatic, no doubt there, but your OCD is doing its job nicely now, by latching on to those events and beliefs and making you ruminate over them. For exposure, have you tried dating since? Even just a blind date through an app? Would be a good way to test your OCD theory that this is how things are and will also help stop your self isolation...

Sorry for what u live, but we have to remember same rule " this thoughts and feels not real, we can reliase that but we can't stop believe its to much real. Ocd is fighting with ur brain with urself. U can find nice person, u never gonna know thing about him until living it. So u have to push yourself, i know its looking impossible but u have to believe there is nice person outside of somewhere. I am dealing with obsession to my obsession about going prison, the fact is i did nothing, i can't even lie and hurt bugs. But every hour im thinking officers will come my house and take me prison. I feel like i did something bad but i didn't. I know its to hard to live with it. One friend told me about meditation yoga, im gonna try it. And do not try to not think about bad thoughts cuz u can't stop thinking it. Just ignore that. Sorry for my bad english.

I totally agree that you should report the person for harming your kitten. . And I know everyone is not like that. Positive thinking is a good start. Telling yourself one positive thing each day. Try to think of a new positive thought each day. And remember the one before and just keep adding to them. I am sorry for the loss of your kitten and everything thing you went through. I hope this helps. Cause we are all on here trying to help so there are good people out here.

im not diagnosed but for the past five years i've been seeing A LOT of ocd symptoms in myself. i kinda accepted that i might have it and learning about people's experiences helped me a lot. i was in a really bad place when i was 16 but at some point i got better (so i thought) I've lost one relationship and i healed from loosing it and then i fell in love again. we we're together for a year and six months. i was really happy for most of the time but unfortunately we we're both not really stable mentally and we both had some mental issues. i helped my girlfriend and i supported her the best i could. she managed to move in in my city and we started living together november. at first it still was her who had a lot of issues (probably depression and being very suicidal) i was struggling and i was really stressed but i tried my best to help. i think eventually she got better in january everything was happening all at once. i've lost my job and we had to move out to a different apartment and in the same time she gained new friends at work. earlier my ocd was showing up occasionally but since that time i think it got kinda worse. i have very low self esteem and when my girlfriend got really close with one girl in her work i started feeling uneasy. i never wanted to be a jelous and controlling girlfriend but my head was constantly telling me "she's will get bored of you bc of her new friend" "she's starting to care more about her than you" and it was unbearable. we talked about it few times and she tried to reassure me but at some point i saw she's not feeling good about my self doubt and being jelous. months passed and everything was getting worse. she become more and more distant, she stopped showing me any affection, she stopped asking me on a dates, she stopped flirting and even on my birthday i had to please her to stop texting someone and focus on a movie we were watching. and now two days ago she broke up with me. few days earlier we had a serious talk and she told me she doesn't feel like doing anything romantic with me anymore and when i asked why she told me she thinks she got tired of me. i asked her what about me makes her tired and she told me "it's because you can't do and cope with anything" or smth like that (its hard to translate it to English). and i understand that it could be tiring bc i was doing bad mentally and i asked for reassurance a lot even tho i knew it's my compulsion and even tho i told her i will try not to. i am also a very anxious person and i was really stressed aboud my new job and money and a lot of things and all of it made her tired. i feel so guilty that i couldn't try harder. i feel so guilty for not noticing I'm actually loosing her earlier. or maybe i actually was noticing it by being scared when she started to be mkre excited to spend time with her friend rather than me? i don't know i just feel so bad bc i still love her and i don't know if I can't stop bit i already asked her few times if she's sure that this is what she wants and i told her i will try harder and i booked a visit with a psychiatrist but she told me she's too tired to try. im scared she's also struggling mentally. i don't really know what i even want to hear from you guys i just really want to disappear bc i can't stop blaming myself for loosing my soulmate and the best person in the entire world, the most beautiful, funny and sweet person. she doesn't need me anymore. she doesn't want me and it hurts ass hell. and the fact that it might be all my fault hurt even more

My girlfriend, who’s become increasingly controlling, read my therapy notes while I was sleeping (the one thing I told her not to read). She found a note I wrote, forgiving myself about a past guilt that I hadn’t in detail told her about, and she accused me of exactly what I fear about myself. A week later, she left me. I am destroyed. I’ve spent the past week desperately trying to rekindle the relationship, and I had some level of peace. I got heavy reassurance from a friend, but I think this was a trigger. A day later, while still focused on the relationship, my brain shifted to the guilt itself, and it went deeper. I am now back to where I was 2 years ago torturing myself over my real event OCD, and thoughts that I’m afraid to mention. I am losing my mind and can’t talk to the person who always accepted me, who I feel almost cured my OCD for two years. Now, here I am back to this app, I really need help, I feel I’ve lost everything.

My ex just told me I’m a narcissist and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for days now. He broke up with me for the 7th and final time now and I did have an avoidance compulsion but I don’t think it was all ocd because he would continuously make poor choices and I was feeling used by the end of the relationship. However I was still trying to convince myself it would get better and it’s just a rough patch we’ll get through eventually. I blamed my ocd because I didn’t want to give up on him and I feel like maybe I was just in denial that it wasn’t meant to be but I also wanted out for a while now. I felt guilty for feeling relieved when he broke up with me but it was a civil conversation and it seemed like we were ending on good terms. But now he’s telling everyone that I’m a narcissist and I abused him emotionally and I was controlling when I let this man do WHATEVER he wanted. I’m controlling because I said I wanted to do his hair because I’m literally a stylist. He said I’m just like my mother and I’m a sh*tty person. He sent me a long paragraph of why I’m worse than all of his exes and that I’m a bad mother days after we broke up. I know I should’ve handled the situation differently but I don’t think that should ruin me as a person. He also said he no longer believes what the men in my past did to me because I’m a narcissist so that means I’m a liar. Knowing one of my biggest fears is becoming the people who hurt me. Part of me feels like he knew this was an obsession of mine and used it against me. I really feel like the worst person alive right now. Like Hitler level evil. I normally don’t post much but this is ruining me right now and I don’t know who else to turn to. I’m out of options and I’m really just helpless right now.
