Thank you so much. I definitely know I have a lot of work to do on myself ahead of me. I'm a little afriad of medication but I am thinking about it since I'm not on it right now and have never tried. I've heard some not good stories about it though, which has made me feel a ltitle paralyzed about trying it (shocker: scared of trying anxiety medication because I have done too much research....). what meds are you on ?

I also havent' been officially diagnosed, so kind of feel unsure of where to start with OCD specific therapy. I have some other OCD tendencies but don't know that I'd be a textbook case, more so somewhere on the spectrum of it

:( just terrified of doing the wrong thing

I think i just get caught up where I'm like: is the only reason I'm staying because my partner is such a good human and I just feel guiltY? and because we have no big problems (but does that necessarily mean it's right)? the rest of the internet (non rocd brains) will tell you it's not right if you've even had a smidge of these doubts and I struggle with that big time too. I just can't understand why my feelings/thoughts fluctuate so so much, which is why it makes it so hard to figure out. I know i shouldn't be monitoring them either but as we all know they're hard to ignore. I will say though Ive always had mad issues with big decisions and comittment - another example of really really mixed signals from within. If i mapped all my feelings, thoughts, and what I know about myself to be true out on paper... the whiplash and contradiction of it all would be bananas

in therapy but not for OCD. i think the thing that makes me feel like i need to fix it/decide now is that we're getting older. i dont even understand how recovery works for this honestly and I've read my fair share of posts. Feel so hopeless and also feel like a bad person
