I totally get that! I recently got an IUD and had unprotected sex one time. Even though I knew the chances of IUD failure are very low, I totally gave into the compulsion. Went out and bought a pregnancy test (AFTER I got my period, which by itself should have been proof enough that I'm not pregnant) but it's like I didn't trust my body. The two pregnancy tests were negative, of course. It's actually not uncommon for women with IUD to be paranoid about pregnancy, since the IUD can make your period stop. But if you're using both IUD and condoms, you're being very safe.

Same exact thing happened to me. We had unprotected sex about 2 times and that was a long time ago. But when we had sex with a comdom I got so paranoid because I started feelings things, so I went to get a test and it came out negative. I’m the one who/who is going to initiate whether to have sex without a condom, but it’s still scary even when I don’t have thoughts at the time!

@bubbless Yeah I regret not using a condom. It was my first time so I wasn't sure when exactly he was supposed to put the condom on, and he never did. I didn't get pregnant, but I got BV and I'm still dealing with yeast infections 2 months later. I later found out he's been seeing other women. I already got negative tests for STDs but I wanna go get tested again cause I feel like something is wrong. I feel like I'm being punished for having sex 😔

Oh love I am so sorry!! I just want to let you know that having sex should not result in feeling like you’re being punished. Yes it’s the thoughts, but don’t ever feel ashamed for doing something that is natural. I’m also sorry about that jerk. You deserve so much better. But eventually his karma will come. I also had to deal with having my bf get tested. It turned into me having to negotiate with him which made my ROCD skyrocket. But eventually, after three long conversations + one with his dad, he realized how dumb he was being. He has yet to be tested cause of covid but I’m just glad he’s in the process now.

Thanks for the encouraging message! Yeah it was a semi-casual long distance thing, it got messy. I'm never doing long distance or casual again, I can't handle that lol. Gonna book a gynecologist appointment for my IUD followup and see what the doctor says. Hope everything turns out ok for you and your bf!! Relationships are hard enough without OCD

@sugarfiend07 You’re absolutely right. They are hard regardless I know that now. But I’m just glad that we continued our friendship throughout our relationship because it can’t just be about sex and being with someone you know? And that’s great!!! I’m glad your getting a follow up, I hope things go well. You’ll find a great person to share your life with, and they’ll be lucky to have you. :)

I’m like 90% sure I’m just bi, more romantically inclined to men, mainly my bf who I wanna marry. But now my brain is like “if you lean into liking women or keep circling and circling for answers you’ll lose all attraction to men and your bf. You’re practically already a lesbian” I feel so tense and anxious I will admit I am talking to chat gpt out of desperation I’m scared of losing all attraction to him I don’t wanna be thinking about women. I don’t unless I’m really stressed cuz when I’m stressed my ocd can take advantage of that I can usually ground myself when I’m in the city with him but I’m back home for most of the summer and I can’t be physically close to him which usually reminds me that hey this is real this is what I really want in life. Him But then I panic and question I haven’t been here in a while tbh. I’m worried I don’t feel enough. I don’t like magic Mike all that much, I like softer guys. But now the fact I don’t like/get turned on by random men on tv but do women in lingerie really stresses me out and makes me worry I’m truly a lesbian but I’m not. Once I started getting to know my bf and my ex bf’s I really did truly genuinely like them and wanted to make out and everything. Idk can anyone relate to the not liking big buff men All my brain is repeating rn is “when he dies you’ll be able to date a woman, when you break up you’ll only wanna date women” and it’s stressing me out. It’s making me nauseous. I was doing well for about a couple days after I initially left but being at home has been so incredibly draining This might give you a vision of how stressful home is: I’ve been on nexplanon for 7 months ish? Only had very minimal spotting during a stressful school period. Today: fully bleeding, like a usual period. I haven’t had my period since having it put in. I wanna go back to my bf so badly rn. I’m so worried I’m faking or don’t feel enough. I’m learning what a healthy relationship looks like and I’m terrified I’m gonna up and leave him when we’re older cuz I’ll finally figure out that I’m a lesbian or smthn. Idk. Someone pls just help me out a tad

On Sunday at work I was stressed and I was anxious all day about ruining my relationship and I disappeared off camera for 2 min and 30 seconds and I’m trying to figure out why and it’s bothering me because I don’t remember I know all morning I was trying to stay on camera so I can prove to myself that I was fine but I think as the day went on like after I video called my boyfriend I felt better and wasn’t paying too much attention to being off camera but I went into the back of the store like the kitchen area and there’s no camera so I was off camera for 2 min 30 seconds and it’s scaring me because idk what I was doing so I’m trying to figure it out and it’s driving me nuts my mind is saying that I did something to ruin my relationship in those 2 min and 30 seconds and I’m so anxious and spiraling I can’t stop thinking about it and talking about it. I just want to enjoy my relationship without feeling guilty.

A few days ago, I posted how proud I am of myself, that I managed to go to the doctor to get a vaccination. Now, two days later, I find myself panicking and ruminating. It was a practice where they also test a lot for HIV and other blood diseases and in my mind, the needle/syringe they used for my vaccination was somehow contaminated with blood from another patient. Maybe by accident but sometimes my mind would make up a scenario where they would do it even on purpose. I was so proud of myself, that I managed to go there on Monday and now I am making up scenarios how I caught HIV by going there - I am feeling guilty because I was „careless“. Any tips for the moment? ❤️
