You obviously think the world of him and that’s why ocd has decided to focus on him. The same has happened to me, I love my husband so much, he’s wonderful and treats me so well and always has but ocd doesn’t like that so makes him the focus of my obsession ☹️

😞 I’m so sorry girl. It’s the worst. You’re absolutely right. They are our biggest supporters and ocd doesn’t like it one bit so that’s what our ocd makes our obsessions and intrusive thoughts about. How are you dealing with it if you don’t mind me asking

Well .... I’m on a journey and so much better than I was but not out of the woods yet! I’ve learned as much as I can about how ocd works and I’ve educated my husband along the way so he understands what’s going on and how it affects me. He’s pretty good at not giving me reassurance as he knows it’s not good for me but does recognise that occasionally I have to have it. I had a course of CBT which helped a bit but I think I’ve learned more on here and following various people on IG.

I do CBT as well! I don’t do ERP I have to talk to my therapist I see twice a week to see what he thinks but I’ve found that CBT does help me refocus my attention on to better thoughts

No I’ve not done ERP really either. It terrifies me to be honest. The closest I’ve got is trying to not respond to thoughts and resist ruminating etc but it’s hard. Good luck I can really empathise

Yea I feel like erp is good for some people but I’m still very weary of it. I think it’ll be a last resort type thing. I wanna try all my options before I have to do it

Even if you aren't oficially doing ERP now, the methods of it are required in everyday life. So try to still engage in those painful experiences without doing compulsions, ruminating and checking.

I’m just so disgusted with myself and so angry. My OCD is literally taking everything I love away from me. My husband is my best friend and my number one supporter and now my thoughts are about him and are scaring me. Idk what else to do. I feel like a burden to my family and him

@LuLaBelle95! I know how you feel but it's all not true we need to live and fight for ourselves and people we love

I just don’t know what else to do. I feel like this mental illness is robbing so many aspects of my life. My chest hurts everyday and I can’t even go home and be with my husband without being scared. I am just so tired of all of this

@LuLaBelle95! So sorry you’re suffering. My ocd obsesses about my husband too. It always picks things that are the most important to you. What are you feeling scared about?

@Angel20 So I’ve recently been getting harm thoughts about myself and others but it just seems to attached itself to being about my husband and it makes me sick. He is my best friend and anchor and it makes me so mad and sad and frustrated because he is my number one supporter. I feel so defeated and hopeless 😞
