I cannot believe I'm here writing this, because I am appalled at myself. But I'm spiraling, so here we go. Almost a year ago, in November, I moved in to a friend's house (in their basement). My room was down there with the 6 month old baby's room, we shared a wall but to get to the baby's room I...

Hi all. I broke up with my ex on May 13th. I've been thinking lately about how he's told me he'd gone to other people asking for advice on our relationship, and how I'm pretty sure he's told people about a bad thought I confessed to him. A few times, we went "pretty far," physically, but not all...

Hey, I've been heavily addicted to porn for 7-8 years, especially BDSM. In January, I told my girlfriend everything (including that I had been chatting with other men as their slave and sent them some stuff about myself). We've been fighting together, and I've been porn-free since then. Until...

I live in a house with small babies (2 and 8 months). I love it, they're such a joy to be around, but being near them and helping take care of them is really making me anxious. (I don't help much at all because they're not my kids, but I hold them and play with them, etc.) 2 examples: I ear...

Saturday night my boyfriend told me that the affection he feels for me had been dulled, and it's because I constantly bring up problem after problem, and it's wearing him down and stressing him out. I asked if he wants to fix it, and he said it's hard to want to fix it with the affection being...

Hi again. I made a similar post earlier and received some very good advice but I think I've better realized my problem so I'd like to ask for more advice on it. The recurring thought that I've been having feels like it is trying to make me question Christ in every way. It keep asking me how do I...

Hello, I have never looked for fellowship on the internet and I'm sort of nervous about it but I would really love to talk to someone who knows Christ and might understand what is going on with me. I make this post because I am struggling deeply with bad intrusive thoughts. For the last few...

I read everywhere on this forum that people with OCD have almost the exact same worries doubts and such as I have and have had. They are not being able to sleep, I barely sleep only for a few hours at a time just to be waking up in panic. I don't know why this is like it is. The days go by and...

I keep posting in here; I AM seeing a therapist but I haven't told her about this. But I've been feeling like I'm falling out of love with my boyfriend. I DO NOT LIKE this feeling. I want it to go away. Lately I've been WANTING to say "I love you," but I can't say it if it's not true. It's...

Hey all, So I just got a new kitten, and she has a few health issues. Ear mites, URI, very probable roundworm, and she's not litter box trained. Last night she pooped on the carpet and I spent probably too long going overboard cleaning that up. I want to have a kitten because I think forcing...

I have this tendency for past conversations to pop into my head where I wasn't wholly truthful, or even during conversations, I'm being almost neurotic with making sure what I'm saying is accurate. I'm almost afraid to have conversations because if constantly analyzing what I'm saying. For...

It's only a few more days until I start seeing a new therapist, so until then, please just bear with me. I appreciate the help and support from this community so much. So, I get panic attacks. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. I'll get a thought, and it seems horrible and...

Hey all, I'm a girl, and I've struggled with POCD for awhile. It's to the point where I'm hyper aware around kids, and I get anxious holding them or playing with them. I also, a few years ago, was worried about potentially going into high school teaching, because I was afraid of my thoughts of...

Hello again, I'm having all kinds of issues these last few weeks. I'm working on finding a therapist who has experience treating OCD, so there is that. My mind is in turmoil, jumping from one obsession to the next (recently I've been afraid to eat peanut butter because "what if someone who is...

Hi all. I'm obviously having a little bit of a breakdown these last few days. I really appreciate everyone's help. Last night my boyfriend and I were talking about something sort of serious (theological conversation) and he said it was hard for him to answer what I thought was a simple question...

Saturday afternoon I got a new pair of glasses in the mail; my boyfriend was messing around and wanted me to put them on him; I was feeling a little annoyed at the idea but I did it anyway. But as I was doing it, I chose to poke him in the eye with the temple of the glasses. He just said "don't...

I'm constantly worried about flaws and imperfections in my boyfriend of 2 months. Every week I have something new to obsess over. "What about this thing, what about that?" I'm bouncing around his different issues--many of which he's willing to talk about and make changes on, especially the...

Last night I was out with my boyfriend, and we were going to sit on the trunk of his car and look at the stars. He tried to lift me up to sit on the trunk, but it was a little awkward and I ended up sitting on his hand. As I was getting situated, I was thinking about making sure I wasn't gonna...
