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
I have several OCD themes currently. It’s pretty much entwined in my entire existence and has been for decades. I was only diagnosed a few months ago and have been making progress with ERP on my contamination issues which is an amazing feeling. To have some control over this has made the future seem bright. Unfortunately lately I’ve been struggling with questioning my 10 plus year marriage (something I’ve dealt with on and off the entire time). My feelings had been solid for at least the past year with no obsessing in that area so it’s really very disturbing to experience this now just as I am getting a slight handle on my OCD. I’ve been so distracted with this the past 2 weeks I haven’t been able to make much progress. Just now I considered the possibility that OCD is behind this. Has anyone ever found that OCD started to sabotage you in one area when you were making progress in another? Is this possible?
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?
