Is it possible for OCD to go from harmful thoughts or paranoia thoughts to being completely about how my wife is cheating on me or going to hurt (poison me, attack me in my sleep)!?

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

Food OCD

Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?

Is this a symptom of soocd

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

Anyone please?

Okay so I’ve dealt with harm OCD from the beginning. Started off with harming my kids, going to jail and then harming myself. The harm to myself stuck around for a long time. Then it went away and other themes picked up but it keeps coming back. This is like the third time it’s come back and every single time it comes back it feels worse. It feels like this is the time something is going to happen. Has anyone ever dealt with this? With old themes constantly coming back and feeling more real? Please any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
