I'm ashamed of this, I fear that it'll never go away I'm dealing with O.L.D

hi! if u dont mind me asking how did u find out u had O.L.D and how did it start?? beginning stages/symptoms

Well after a close family member died I developed it, honestly I'm to embarrassed to explain more but I know I can't live with this issue.

I know that it's very tough, were all born different I believe ppl who develope a type of OCD are thinkers but with something traumatic that occurred to have caused it.

Well my beginning stages was talking to her for comfort bc I was depressed, we were friends back in school and Idk after all this stress it occured

Well, I would say stay occupied on things you enjoy doing, I play music and it helps me with it, as well throw away the thoughts of the problem and if you have to write it all down on some paper and tear it up after if you want to... Also stay away from things like alchohol or drugs it'll make the problem worse.

Thank you as well and remember think positive as well... It helps me

Yes I believe so, and you know more about it now and as long as your with your bf just feel love without the pain from the past. You'll be ok, remember stop think about this if you feel upset with him sometimes when like this if your upset you can become obsessive or possesive. So just be aware when stressed out or upset with him.

Well do you currently have obsessive or possessive thoughts with your bf?

i think ab him alot and my ocd fear is actually being obsessed with him and “ going crazy” my intrusive thoughts make me uncomfortable bc i cant tell if its me thinking it or my OCD playing tricks on me. i recently got extremely bad so my thoughts got worse and i get anxious to see him bc im afriad of myself in a way. i never get jealous of anythinf he does or control him actually. its just my thoughts scare me.

Have you told him about your ocd?

Yes but have you told him about these obsessive/possessive thoughts?

Honestly have you told him everything? About these thoughts with him?

Well if your by is really understanding of you and supportive of you it would help you by telling him, I would say start of by telling him you have obsessive feelings of him.... Only if you can't do so then don't tell him.. And as a dude I think he will understand that .He might even feel closer towards you.

Obsessive feelings are feelings you expierience from something or someone, and for me connects to something from the past... But whether you you love him or not is the question you have to to answer for yourself, you obviously really are in love with him, it's just when your alone your thoughts that question you attack you, I usually get up and do something when these thoughts occur at the same you gotta fight fire with fire sometimes with these thoughts by questioning back at these thoughts.

Your welcome, I'm knew to this app but I don't want to see anyone suffer with these thoughts, God bless I know you'll be ok 👌

Same here... Goodnight
