Confessing is a compulsion. If you want to get better you need to resist it. You can do it :)

Resisting this compulsion to confess does not mean you agree with the thoughts, it means you are working towards recovery!

Yeah I’d agree I kind of made it worse because it definitely made me fixate on the thought more

I told my boyfriend mind he didn’t really understand it at first but I told him some of the ones I had and he kinda laauaghed. It made me feel better. He always just tells me they are just thoughts and to distract myself but it’s just hard.. he just also tells me it’s okay as long as I don’t act on them

Exactly my husband def makes me feel better but it’s temporary relief which sucks but he’s laughed at my intrusive thoughts which is a little therapeutic because he knows I wouldn’t act on them . He just knows me more than I do thats why he’s married me , I love him so much

It’s sucks because I feel like the thoughts never go away and I can’t enjoy my time with him

I know, I know exactly how you feel. All you want to be is with HIM & the thoughts race in intrusively & unwantedly & make you feel confused or different . Just resist the thoughts or acting on them , & you will feel like yourself one day

Last night I had a fucked up intrusive thought/urge about harming my partner and I'm spinning out today. I let them know I had an intrusive thought and was struggling with compulsions around it and future repercussions, but did not tell them exactly what the thought/urge was, which they accepted. Do y'all share details with your partners about harm ocd? How can we healthily ask for support from people we are having horrible thoughts about?

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’ve been dealing with this “thing” since i was 15. (i’m 23 now) if i have a bad memory that i have done when i was really young or just an intrusive thought i feel like i need to tell my mom or boyfriend. it’s been on and off ever since but since January hit it’s been an everyday thing about the littlest things. mostly about my relationship. an example is i was talking to someone random at my job and we were talking about taxes and when im in deep thought or just thinking i do a thing where i bite my lip (not in the sexual way) and i had a thought when it happened “was that sexual?” and i felt like i did something wrong and i went for a while thinking that until i told my boyfriend about it. or like my ex’s face has popped up in my head in the most inappropriate times and i feel the need that i have to tell him. (my ex was not a good person) i feel like im a prisoner in my head everyday, trying to justify thoughts or remind myself that its just a thought. i didnt know that this was or could be a form of ocd. it runs in my family but i’ve just never considered it being this. i always called it anxiety or depression but i always felt like it is more than that.
