Yes I have definetly been there on multiple occasions, more than I can count. It’s so frustrating!! Its a reassurance compulsion. Do not do it! Unless to your therapist the more you do it the worse it’ll get. You really just have to acknowledge the thought and understand that you are not you’re thoughts and they do not make you who you are. People have messed up thoughts all the time they just don’t have OCD

i’ve been thru this a lot. i just write it down and burn it or tear it. journaling also helps

I have felt this before. I don’t really have any advice for it except maybe try journaling about it. Sometimes that gets things off my chest and I can leave that urge on the paper.

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 :(

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?

Does confessing an intrusive thought just make it come back stronger?
