Now that my wife is pregnant with our first child and we’re looking to purchase a home together, my cheating ocd is creeping back in. Thoughts like “you don’t deserve this if you cheated” and “what if you cheated and don’t remember and it comes to light and your wife and daughter hate you” have been running through my mind like crazy. I don’t remember actually cheating on my wife but my memory is really bad and I’m scared that I may have suppressed a memory.

Remember that your OCD is targeting what you care about most, which is your wife and daughter❤🙂

Yep. I understand this. I know this is so damned hard. Remember to do your best to live in the moment. When my OCD attacks me I do something nice for someone as my way of “accepting it but fighting back.” I always think to myself that I will not let this f’ing thing beat me…that I am strong enough to simply sit with the anxiety and beat it.

I know I should disregard the thoughts but it’s so hard. OCD makes me want to seek certainty so badly and it’s so frustrating to not be able to get it
