You could try doing some erp with this!! Try and make it a goal to talk to a woman and instead of doing the compilations ( overthinking how nice you are being) just allow your self to be there and then do some response prevention by saying this in your head “maybe she thinks I’m flirting maybe she doesn’t, but it doesn’t matter” or if you a fear of being attracted to women you could say “maybe I’m attracted to her maybe I’m not, but nobody is ever really sure and it doesn’t matter”

I am convinced that OCD is a party pooper. When I was engaged I went through the same stuff. I agree about doing the ERP exercise where you talk to women, like normal conversation the more you normalize it the compulsion will fade away. Enjoy these special times :-) you guys are planning a wedding! That’s exiciting!

Don’t do it. You have to talk to women like normal. I remember when I went on my 2nd date ever and I was really nervous. When we were at the restaurant I tried my best to not make eye contact with other women cuz I knew how good looking I was and didn’t want other women to look at me cuz I didn’t want her to feel bad or think I’m interested in other women. I just wanted to give her my full attention. If your fiancé is aware of your ocd talk to her about it and just be normal around other women. There’s no way around not flirting with another girl it’s just a natural thing and you have to go with it. You’ve made a choice to be with a particular women so just let it be. You’ll be fine.

I am going through this right now. I obsess and obsess over little things I have said and done that I feel like my boyfriend would be upset about or break up with me over and my compulsion is confessing these things to him. But I think sometimes we say and do things that others may not like or be jealous about and that’s just part of being human

When I talk about how terrible I used to be to my girlfriend it makes me feel like I’m gonna do it again which I don’t wanna do and it scares me and then I get intrusive thoughts and feelings about it doing it but I don’t want to, weird I know.

I often feel like i did something wrong even tho i am positive i didn’t, my boyfriend and i have been together for like 6 months and i’ve been completely loyal to him the whole time but recently i’ve been feeling the need to confess that i cheated on him even tho i didn’t and there’s absolutely no proof that i did something even close, i don’t talk to other men and if i do my boyfriend has full access to my phone and it’s usually a friend or me asking a simple question but i still feel the need to confess even tho i’ve done nothing wrong🥲 someone please help it’s so confusing

Can anybody relate? I get so anxious to text people and reply, especially friends. I overthink everything I say wondering if they will think it’s funny or if it’s the right reply and when I send it I keep thinking that I said something evil or unfunny so I keep rechecking the text to make sure it’s ok. It’s so frustrating because all I want to do is talk to my friends but I get so anxious about texting them thinking something evil will happen so I just barely text them💔 if anyone has any advice to help with this please let me know 🙏
