My therapist told me it’s a compulsion of mine. Sometimes I confess things that don’t seem like a big deal but in my head if I don’t say it out loud then something bad will happen or I just feel too guilty for some reason. It’s a compulsion that I’m still trying to get over, just try not to confess every detail. My therapist says that it is good to keep somethings to ourselves instead of confessing every little detail. I hope that helps a little 😅

i confess to minor things that don’t matter in the long run. i confess to things that happened years ago because it feels like im hiding the truth, and if i don’t share my honestly i feel guilt and panic. i have such a hard time letting things go. something really dumb will happen and then i will move on from it but the thought that the lie could come back or be mentioned in the future makes me uncomfortable. i can’t keep my mouth shut because even if i leave one minor detail out of something it feels like I’m betraying someone

Yes there's one I keep from my closest friend and I still feel uneasy like I'll have to tell him even though I know I don't need to

Absolutely have been through this before, but I overcame it. The trick is in understanding that confession is a huge compulsion and you need to treat it like any other compulsion. Once I realized this I put all my focus into not giving into it, and in time your mind no longer gives weight to it. Hope that made sense and good luck!

I don’t know how to stop confessing. It’s driving me insane. I confess every little thing to my boyfriend. I confessed that I liked attention (this is so obviously human), that I liked it when people found me pretty (also very human??) I confessed about a million other things and I feel out of control. I felt so safe with him last night that it just started pouring out of me. I felt guilty and awful and I just needed release, I couldn’t breathe I felt like I was dying. I’m stuck in a confessing loop and I know I’m only making things worse. Has anyone experienced this and been able to overcome it? It feels absolutely horrible and impossible. I tried to ERP this and I genuinely feel like I am suffocating if I hold off. I feel so disappointed in myself, but I can’t seem to stop. I even had a dream where I confessed to him and woke up needed to confess that. I’m scared I’ll start sharing my worst intrusive thoughts I’ve had if I feel too safe around my bf. Help please :(

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
