Yes. Obsessions change constantly. The mind just needs something to worry sickly about.
I'm not normally an insercure person or anything like that. But for the last two weeks I can't get these thoughts out of my head and I have been dealing with OCD since I was a teenager but this is so much worse because we have on my married for two months and now I check her phone when she's asleep and I trust her but I just can't stop myself I can not fall asleep until shes been asleep for at least an hour and I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I suggest you read a book called “You are not your brain”, by Jeffrey Schwartz. In his book he talks about someone who is suffering from a similar thing. I think it may help you!
So checking her phone is the compulsion, right? You need to do it to feel a bit more calm that your fear is irrational?
i feel u.. i trust my boyfriend a lot but there s a girl in his class that she tries to hug him and he says no or he just be likes “wtv” and i always imagine that they talk by message(even knowing that if she texts him he will say) that he’s lying, that he will like her, that he s interessed in her, and now im thinking that i dont trust him, i always did. i trust him with other girls, only her makes me cry and feel anxious
Yes checking her phone or asking her 100 times if she's happy I'm always chasing the reassurance that every thing is ok, and it's necer good enough for me she has never hurt me in anyway and I truly believe she wouldn't. But for whatever reason i always have to look just to make sure and know
Hey Muni thanks so much I checked into that book a bit and its seems incredible
My ocd thoughts are really bad. Does anyone else have fears about their significant other?? I'm told it's ocd to worry that he's going to hurt me, or cheat on me, or that hes gay. I worry that everything could go wrong in our relationship despite no evidence. For instance, last night I was convinced he was going to hurt our dog. Our dog loves him so much and there was no reason for this thought. Can someone else tell me if they ever have thoughts like these. I have searched the internet but people with ocd tend to worry about themselves. Am I going crazy??
Can ocd make you feel paranoid and see things?
Hi everyone had a question I am 42 years old until about 7 months ago my ocd has become so bad almost debilitating. I think I have had ocd since my mid 20s but it was barely there and it would sometimes almost be non existent and I didn’t even know it was ocd until I was diagnosed four months ago It was always my family getting hurt especially at night I was convinced that someone would break in the house and murder us. Or a fire would start but j would just check the doors and stove appliances a few times before bed nothing to time consuming and I never had panic attacks or the physical symptoms of anxiety, I did do weird rituals like I blessed things that fell on the floor because I thought something bad may happen to my kids which seems strange and I would put clothes away a certain way or again something bad would happen and I hated the number 6 so the volume can never be on 6 things like that. When I type if I didn’t get the word right the first time I’d have to erase the whole word and start over sometimes the whole sentence which was super annoying! But since I had my daughter 4 years ago I would have this weird fear with knifes like only I could wash them and put them away or someone may accidentally stab themselves or someone else, and I began to get intrusive images of someone trying to hurt my daughter or someone would kidnap her or she would stop breathing at night but it all was pretty tolerable until out of the blue I had a really bad intrusive images of me hitting her in the head with my phone it’s scared me so bad I had a panic attack and started questioning why would I think that?! Then a week went by and another intrusive image of me hurting her and then eventually it was anything and everything in my house could be weapon to hurt her i was terrified I googled it and realized it was intrusive thoughts and it was harm ocd 😞I have been really struggling since and that was 6 months ago I try to tell myself that they are just thoughts and it’s just my brain being hyper vigilant to protect her but I fear that the more I have them I will do them in my sleep And the physical sensations of anxiety and panic attacks are unbelievable sometimes Can anyone relate to their ocd becoming worse almost overnight later on in life I want my life back I’m so sad I’m scared to sleep at night I just want this all to go away Any tips it’s hard not to react to the thoughts when it is about harming your own child who I love soooo much And please tell me this is ocd
