Take deep breaths. OCD makes us confused in the head, so your OCD is likely trying to make you believe you did something that you didn't.

I know a couple of things I did that were screwed up . I had a male online friend and lied he was gay because I was scared my bf would be mad (ex boyfriend trusma induced) and I would send him tik tok videos asking if I looked bad or fat . And one time I said my boobs looked good as an off hand comment. But my bf was fine with it , and forgave me . And wants me to keep talking to the guy because he would help with my anxiety and I had a friend to share things with (I don’t have many of those) how can I contact you btw through this ??

I had this exact same theme for literally years. That is my original theme that got me diagnosed with OCD. I would also get time lines confused and confessed every single time. I remember trying to remember every single second of every single time I had ever been drunk and when I obviously couldn’t, then my brain would tell me I had suppressed a cheating memory. It was hell so I completely understand how you feel. My therapist here NOCD would assign me ERP homework every week. That includes watching clips of people cheating on each other and resisting the compulsions of rumination and reassurance. I would also write down my “memories” in great detail and read them multiple times a day until it became boring to my brain. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. You can beat this.

Thank you , I have chatted with a lot of people online and been in anxiety groups I’m scared I cheated there even tho I mentioned my bf over a thousend times . I joke sexually sometimes and get scared that’s cheating or try to give guys girl advice/help them etc etc . List goes on . And I’ve never been in a healthy relationship before so it’s hard to know what’s right . And I’m so scared of messing up none internationally . I haven’t left the house since last October . And it’s just been really hard .

@Emmy56777 Your feeling are 100% valid. It’s scary to wonder if you’ve cheated. It’s a scary thought. But that’s all it is.. a THOUGHT. There’s no proof. Tell yourself that maybe you did cheat or maybe you didn’t. Try to sit in that anxiety without ruminating or trying to figure it out. What helped me was telling myself that if I did cheat then I’d take accountability and face the consequences when there is proof. It’s been over a year and still no proof. Check out Ali Greymond on YouTube. She’ll help you find a way out of this. “Ali Greymond cheating ocd” should be a good search. Best of luck my friend. You’re stronger than you think.

since one of my biggest fears/events of my reocd happened (not the way i thought it would happen!) i've been healing and understanding a lot of things (like the fact i was the one being abused in my old relationship) but thanks to that my ocd has been trying to launch on a new event and i don't know. i was in a cut and off relationship with my ex three years ago, this happened when i was an older teenager and really confused. during the time i cut off momentary with him i started to get compliments and cute messages in an anonymous confession page and used to post them replying in a playful way or just with genuine curiousity. the thing is, i got with my ex once again in secret for the last time but honestly i'm realizing lately that i didn't love him anymore and being with him made me feel terrible but i wasn't strong enough to leave him once for all. i didn't tell any of my friends about this because they hated him (for a good reason) and i was also disappointed on myself for this. he pushed me a lot make it public and i would say to him a lot of times that i wasn't sure. the thing is, that i still got that type of messages on that anonymous confession page and still publish them on my profile while being with my ex in secret, but eventually i stopped doing that. then i finally left my ex (was horrible). but since what happened to me, i cant stop thinking if that was cheating – it was cheating? i'm not sure anymore and i feel like im going to have a relapse.

TW. hii, ive been dealing with horrible thoughts as of lately. its gotten to a point where as of recently, ive been starting to eat less, sleep more, and cry a whole lot. i dont know whats wrong with me, i have confusing memories. im in a relationship, and as a highschool girl who loves hard since this is my first relationship, ive been having confusing thoughts about whether or not if i found attraction to a boy last year on a cruise. the first time i met this boy, my boyfriend knew about him because i made sure to update my boyfriend on everything. me and the boy were only friends & thats how i thought my intentions were before. but i dont know why now, a whole year later… ive been having confusing, yet convincing thoughts that i found attraction to the boy and i cheated on my boyfriend. everything seems so convincing, yet makes no sense, but i want to know the answer, did i find that boy attractive, and i try to look back into my memory to remember how i felt, but nothing works, i dont know how i felt or feel anymore. i dont know if these are false memories or theyre real memories. how do i know if they are real, concrete memories & how do i genuinely get rid of these thoughts?

Hi everyone. I am really struggling with real event OCD. I thought I worked through this but it keeps attacking me. About 3 years ago and 4 months into my current relationship, I went on a trip abroad. I ended up getting completely wasted and I can only remember some of the night. I remeber the bartender asking to speak with me in the back, and was trying to flirt. I said “I can’t” but we shared a kiss for two seconds I think. My friend then called me multiple times and I left. I am not proud of this at all. I wish more than anything I could erase it. I chose after that event to not tell my boyfriend (now Fíance). I know this was wrong. But I knew I wouldn’t do it again and I did not want to blow it all up over something so stupid. Before meeting my fiancé, I came out of an extremely mentally exhausting relationship with someone who was online cheating on me. I was seeking validation and attention. And I wasn’t in a good place for really the first year of our relationship. Well last year this event randomly popped into mind again. It ate at me and I knew I had to confess to my fiancé. He was understanding, but upset (rightfully so). He said he wasn’t going to leave me but this can’t happen again. We moved past it again and I did my best to be the best partner I could be to him. Well the issue is this event keeps coming up now. I can’t move past it. I feel such shame and guilt and we’re getting married soon. I am really struggling because I can’t remeber every single detail of the night. And my fiancé asked me and I told him everything I remember, but it kills me I’ll never be able to know EVERY detail of what happened since I was browned out. I just want to know if others have faced a similar situation, how did you move through it? I am really struggling and feel like I don’t deserve him. I want this to be a happy time, and he doesn’t even hold it over me. But I can’t stop ruminating on it. It doesn’t help that I look up cheating stories on Reddit and it makes me feel even more awful. Has anyone made a similar mistake? Did I ruin us before we even got married? I am beyond scared to loose the best thing that has ever happened to me. Help :(
