    Compulsion to Apologize

    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...

    Obsessing over "I love you"

    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...

    Waking up with anxiety

    I tend to wake up in the morning, have a few seconds of peace, and then BAM, I start worrying and ruminating about something. It's enough to make me nauseous and I don't want to get out of bed and go to work--in fact, I had to stop writing this post and run to the bathroom because I nearly threw...

    Obsessing about honesty (not the same issue as the last thread)

    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...

    OCD in dating: confessing

    Hey all, What are some guidelines for dealing with obsessive thoughts and how they impact dating? Specifically I'm thinking about sins: I did something wrong today (not sexual, not drug related, and nothing to do with my boyfriend, to be clear), and I asked God for forgiveness, but do I need to...

    Not listening to OCD... but unable to separate it from logic

    Hello, it's me again! Don't worry, guys, I'm working towards getting therapy. I just... need to post about another Thing my brain has come up with. (I also literally have no friends to talk about these things with--technically no close friends at all due to some stuff that happened awhile...

    Feels like my brain just needs to be fixated on SOMETHING.

    Hey all, Anyone else get the feeling that their brains NEEDS something to obsess over? Like when an obsession is dealt with, there's a void or the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop, until something new pops up. Like it almost feels weird to NOT have something to be constantly...

    Afraid of Symbols

    Hello, it's me again. I'm afraid I'm becoming a regular poster of problems on here, which I'm not exactly proud of. I'm afraid of the pentagram, plain and simple. And I'm afraid of drawing it. And I obsess over whether or not, when my fingertips happen to scratch against a surface, whether or...
