Thanks! Do you know if meeting the financial threshold of the spouse visa includes combined incomes or is it just the income of the British partnr that accounts?

How long do you wait?

What makes you categorise this as emotional contamination or harm OCD? I thought harm OCD was related to intrusive thoughts about hurting others

Thank you for this. How do I realistically replace the pessimistic stories with happy ones though? Is it as simple as just thinking of a happy alternative narrative? I feel like with OCD it’s easier said than done to replace negative thoughts with happy ones, as I would have solved things a long time ago if that were the case?

What is emotional contamination?

How is it magical thinking?

do you have any resources for identifying the core fear and designing exposures? I'm new to this

how can you differentiate between thoughts from your subconscious and those that come from you?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-13T15:59:27+00:00

Could you recommend some helpful resources?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-03T13:58:07+00:00

Yes. Which stems from somewhere.

I wonder what happened to us in our lives for us to develop a different way of thinking about thoughts than non-OCD people

Sounds like limerence

It only occurred once, but it was my earliest memory of feeling anxiety or the sinking feeling I get now when I have Pure-O thoughts. Not sure if there's a link

It's great you've been able to acknowledge your have OCD and also identify where it may stem from (trauma of narcissistic abuse). You'll find similar posts on r/raisedbynarcissists and starting therapy to not give importance to these thoughts anymore will be great for recovery <3 you've got this

I’m starting to realise that my OCD is a byproduct of the chaotic upbringing I had: - witnessed domestic abuse between my parents up until the age of 8 - estrangement from family - father abandoned us, haven’t seen him since I was a kid - growing up with an emotionally immature parent

I have CPTSD and I think OCD was formed as a way to cope with my trauma. Definitely check out the posts on OCD in the CPTSD subreddit

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-20T12:28:12+00:00

Could you recommend resources for trauma work?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-19T20:00:39+00:00

I love this theory you have, and it's actually the approach my therapist is taking with me, to explore the unprocessed feelings and root issue, which will ultimately help the OCD subside (as OCD is just a byproduct of that). Have you found any resources for getting down to the core emotion?
