I am feeling better. Still anxious and I am not looking for an answer. More or less, I just get worried about so many things that it’s not funny. Here are a few examples: what if my husband left me? What if he falls out of love with me? What if he no longer finds me attractive? What if I were gay? Why did I think that? If I think that is it true that I could be? Why did I look at that girl when she walked by? What does that mean? What if I cheat on my husband? What if we get pregnant and lose the baby? Can we handle that? I have all of these questions and I know the logical answer to all of them and sometimes I can make it very known to my OCD that I not dealing with it. I can deal with all of them. I was basically just looking for a “you got this, and it will work out. Just do the work and you will get more control over your OCD” You know?

@ButterflyStar Thank you for reaching out! Yes I was diagnosed with severe OCD and body dysmorphia disorder. At this point it’s not really a searching for an answer it’s just all random questions that seems to come out of nowhere. Like I know I’m not gay, I never have been and won’t be. I am not attracted to females in that way, but my mind will turn any situation around and make me feel like I am in denial. Which my therapist has explained that OCD isn’t about logic it’s about anxiety. I know that is God forbid anything happened between my husband and I that it would be tough but I have God and Jesus there to hold me up. I have some tough things to get over from my past. From being over weight and mentally/emotionally abused for years from an ex to being raped. I am so blessed for how far I have come and will go. I am blessed my husband is always there as a helping has and reminding me that Gods got this. I do fear that I upset God with all the fears and doubts that cross my mind from time to time but he understands.

@screwuOCD I understand, my OCD is also severe. I appreciate even what your therapist said that OCD isn't about logic it's about anxiety. I'm so glad you have a good relationship with your husband and he supports you, and your recovery in OCD. 😊 I'm so sorry about your past. I can't even imagine, but I am so glad you have chosen to continue to live! Because you have such a big purpose ❤️. Your purpose is to show the glory of God in your life, and even by the little you have shared, I can see how God has plucked you from the depths. I am so glad God has rebuilt you over the years. And you are now able to help and be compassionate towards others whom before, you might never have emphatised with their struggles ❤️ No, you will NEVER annoy or irritate God! You don't have to act tough with God ❤️ Cast your cares upon Him for He cares for YOU ❤️. Just a thought, but do you like to write? You could start a prayer journal? Sometimes it's a great way to offload from mind onto paper. 💟
