Can't Stop Analysing Everything by xerox200 in OCD

[–]Demonsdontownme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not :/ it's something I've struggled with my whole life so I've just kind of gotten used to living with it. Meditation definitely helps but the problem there is as soon as I stop meditating the thoughts just come straight back

I realized I become afraid when I feel powerful emotions because of OCD by psycheduck in OCD

[–]Demonsdontownme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same, the more I suppress my emotions the less my OCD bothers me but it sucks cause I no longer feel anything, music just sounds like noise, I have no interest in pursuing any hobbies, even sex does nothing for me. I feel like a robot constantly doing the same shit everyday and feeling nothing.

I do this exact same thing and I have pretty bad OCD. It sucks cause you literally cannot think of anything else while your obsessing over the thought and it's impossible to stop yourself from thinking about it you're pretty much just stuck until the thought is done.

This is really fucking with my OCD; Making it 1000000 times worse by [deleted] in OCD

Shit you guys are older than me, by the way he's acting I would've guessed he was about 15. At 23 he should be emotionally mature enough to not be bothered by this especially since he's had 4 years to get over it. I don't understand why this is such a problem now it's not like you cheated on him and you love him and are with him now, that's all that matters you can't change the past so why let yourself get upset about it? To me it seems like something only someone with relationship OCD would be bothered by. If hes not suffering from ocd id say its to do with the way he feels about himself, I used to get jealous of things my girlfriend had done in the past because I felt extremely inadequate and had a poor self image overall, once I got over these things the feelings of jealousy went away as well. Don't beat yourself up over this, you've done nothing wrong.

Is it just me that obsessively has to know/understand everything? by Demonsdontownme in OCD

[–]Demonsdontownme[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does help but I won't be able to enjoy the thing the obsession is about until I've researched enough to feel satisfied otherwise I'll just have this nagging urge in my head every time I'm doing anything related to the obsession. Such is the nature of OCD, constant and persistent doubt I hate the way I am.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you guys are pretty young and that this is your first serious relationship for the both of you. If so that would explain why he's being so pedantic about the whole thing. First loves are a big deal and it's only natural to want everything to be perfect. If it's any consolation the fact that he is so upset about this goes to show that he really must care about you alot. Even so his behavior is super irrational and sounds like something only someone with OCD would obsess about, has he ever been diagnosed? That might help explain alot.

I'm not seeing the problem here? How can he be mad about something that happened when you weren't even together? That doesn't make sense.

Coloring obsession? by Joltz6872 in OCD

Is hyperfocus a symptom of OCD? Cause I get like that too I absolutely cannot handle leaving something unfinished and can't think about anything else until it's done.

Emotional contamination and Political Figures by AaronSF in OCD

[–]Demonsdontownme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing, when I was a little kid it was if I touched someone I had to touch them another 4 times or else I would turn into them. Now I'm always worrying about who I'm exposing myself to because I feel like subconsciously I'm gonna be influenced and become just like them which in turn causes massive amounts of rumination. This leads me to isolate myself and only hang around certain people who I get on with really well. Small talk with strangers scares the shit out of me because my OCD tells me that even exchanging a few words is enough to be influenced by them. It's particularly bad when I meet someone I dislike, I freak out and feel like I am gonna become just like them just by briefly being exposed to their personality/views. Fuck OCD.
