So I was telling my boyfriend that a yoga teacher hugged me and kissed my cheeks and it was almost on half of my mouth - so I was like you want to beat him up ? And he’s like no they are like that ... I’m spiraling about him cheating

Oh my gaw! How thoughtless of me! U know my mind and thoughts are not right as far as that goes! I’m sorry! I thought I was saying something u would relate to… I’m an idiot, so sorry!

I hope you’re ok

@LisaP99 It’s ok! I know that was not your intention 💜

@LisaP99 I’m hanging in there lol .. it’s amazing what are minds can do with just simple words or conversations or objects like the towel you mentioned .. I’m like ok so if I didn’t have ocd i would just move on like not read into everything! Lol

@Hope Yes! I always think “man my sister (who doesn’t have ocd) would not think like this!” Glad you can somewhat lol about this. What’s been helping me lately, I’ve been really agreeing with it and then taking it to another level. And I did somewhat like you did… I read a few posts related to rocd and it made it obvious that yeah my thought like all these posted thoughts are ocd thoughts.

@Hope One day you will have to trigger me so we’ll be even lol 🤦‍♀️

@Hope It’ll go like this… Lisa: I think I’m out of the woods… feeln better. Phew, that one was tough. Hope: So glad… now if you haven’t thought of this nightmare… let me describe it to you! (You wouldn’t but trying to make this comical at least.)

@LisaP99 Yes I think that too about my friend who doesn’t have ocd ! It kinda helps put it in perspective...I’m glad agreeing with it helps you-that has helped me too

@LisaP99 Haha aww it’s all good you didn’t meant too...And I know you and me both have enough triggers to fill our days lol I’m here for you as I know the struggle is real!

@Hope ‘Didn’t mean to

Yes, especially when you’re trying to kiss the cheek quickly, your aim can be off.

Hey I just got triggered. I’m struggling on letting what ocd is saying be more important than my relationship. It’s giving me so so many things in the past to piece it together brilliantly.

I’m going to listen to sos video, ugh, I hate when ur like what tool? What tool? Lol

Yeah! I can ride it out. I’ve ridden worse out

Ty

@LisaP99 How you doing?

@Hope I’m doing better, ty

@Hope Hi hope, I’d thought I share w you something I found. So my assignment this week was to find movies, articles, songs about cheating for erp. Well it was challenging! Everything I was reading or watching wasn’t triggering me. I told my sister about my search and well we found advice columns work well! Real women who tell their stories from that standpoint. I won’t share the link in case ur not ready but a good exposure is worth sharing!

@Hope Hope ur doing well. :)

@LisaP99 Thanks ! Go you for doing that erp! My therapist also has me doing that too lol

@LisaP99 Hope you are well 🙏

@Hope Here’s the link I used. Beware - it’s triggering https://www.gingerbread.org.uk/community/online-forum/topic/husband-left-for-younger-women/

@Hope Thx, yes, I’m doing well!

@LisaP99 Thanks Lisa!
