Does anyone else take the smallest things personally? I feel like my brain tricks me into thinking the littlest things mean something big and terrible. Last night my SO and I called to say goodnight (like we always do) and then I went to bed. He usually stays up a little after me and I wake up before him. This morning when I woke up, I saw he opened a Snapchat from me and left it on opened. I immediately spiraled. I know it was only because he opened it after we said goodnight so in his mind he knows I’m asleep and sees no need to respond cuz I’m not awake to answer. But my brain always convinces me it’s because he doesn’t actually like me or I get scared that I did something wrong or something to offend or upset him. It’s just so exhausting. I’m tired of fighting my brain. I’m tired of the self sabotage and trying to trick myself that he actually doesn’t like me (especially over something as dumb as a Snapchat). I’m tired of feeling like I did something wrong or that I’m broken. I’m tired of fighting those thoughts and having to assure myself we’re okay. I know he’s tired of it, too. It’s not fair to him. Does this happen to anyone else? What do you do?

YES :/ I’m sort of in the middle of that right now with my bad ROCD. I am married to someone who is amazing (not perfect, has his own shortcomings) but he has been there for me like no other man. Especially with all my mental issues. He has SHOWN me how much I mean to him but I always have these strong episodes where I show I don’t trust him either Intense jealousy, or a comment he does that I take SUPER personal or an action he DOESNT do but I wish he does I definitely take personal :/ There’s some drama going on with my in laws and me (my mother in law and sister in law) and I’m really demanding my husband pretty much to take my side. And because he is choosing to take a more rational approach than emotional like the three of us gave I am SO offended as his wife bc I honestly feel he has placed me last BC of that or even betrayed me. I have so many urges right now and compulsions that I want to do that he already KNOWS. I want to go back and remind him that I need him to defend me etc etc stuff he knows so he gets fed up :/ Sorry long message. But I’m definitely struggling hardcore with ROCD right now bc I have certain expectations of how things should be done and if it’s not on his end I immediately start wondering “is this marriage the wrong one????” I have my first appointment here today so looking forward to it. How about you?

Same with me girl, helpful to know I’m not alone in this. Good luck with insurance! Mines didn’t work :/ but it definitely is cheaper than other areas .

Yes, all the time.
