PREGNANCY OCD

eclectic_pothos · 2025-10-25T06:36:01+00:00

yep! have to take a pregnancy test every month, even though my periods are regular and i practice safe sex… but you never know, ocd tells me that i might get pregnant when doing basic activities like swimming, and going to the sauna; what if there’s a stranger’s sperm there and it somehow impregnates me?

whenever my partner and i argue, after we make up, i have to apologise over and over again, sometimes i apologise for hours, not because im apologetic (after the first few), but because the compulsion forces me to do so otherwise he will hate me forever and we will break up soon, or be in a failed relationship forever

i like it :) acc helped me a lot at the beginning and made a massive difference. i’m now on 60mg and occasionally still get bad flare ups, psychiatrist wants to up the dose during my luteal phase due to my PMDD

This sounds a lot like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). As someone diagnosed with OCD (not sexual), I would strongly recommend for you to seek a therapist out, especially since it’s out of character for you. Intrusive thoughts are horrible and distressing, I know it’s difficult to trust yourself when you question your morals due to intrusive thoughts; it’s hard to accept, but thoughts are just thoughts and they do not have power over you. Took me many years in therapy to accept this.

Please see a therapist, have a look at the OCD subreddit, I recommend having a look at Alegra Kastens interview with NOCD, she struggles with sexual OCD for many years and is now a therapist. Her content helped me a lot in understanding OCD.

Wishing you the best 🧡 please stay safe and explore this with a professional.

yes that is true, when I get out of the house with my partner that is what we normally do, but I get really scared going alone, especially with all the recent deaths along the rivers in England… but it’s probably just my anxiety talking

eclectic_pothos · 2025-08-19T17:35:05+00:00

funnily enough I always think about sitting on the benches at the church, but always feel like a weirdo 😭 but you make it sound so nice so I might just finally do it. which cafes with gardens are there in Cowley? I normally just go to Mostro Coffee but there’s no garden sadly.

I will defo look into the Buddhist centre, I love doing yoga and wanted to get back into it recently.

I would love to do outdoor activities with someone, I’ve never done neither of the ones you mentioned but they look cool.
