    OCD destroying a relationship

    Saturday night my boyfriend told me that the affection he feels for me had been dulled, and it's because I constantly bring up problem after problem, and it's wearing him down and stressing him out. I asked if he wants to fix it, and he said it's hard to want to fix it with the affection being...

    Intrusive Thoughts Questioning Jesus

    Hi again. I made a similar post earlier and received some very good advice but I think I've better realized my problem so I'd like to ask for more advice on it. The recurring thought that I've been having feels like it is trying to make me question Christ in every way. It keep asking me how do I...

    I can't feel at peace

    I read everywhere on this forum that people with OCD have almost the exact same worries doubts and such as I have and have had. They are not being able to sleep, I barely sleep only for a few hours at a time just to be waking up in panic. I don't know why this is like it is. The days go by and...

    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...

    Owning a kitten and contamination OCD

    Hey all, So I just got a new kitten, and she has a few health issues. Ear mites, URI, very probable roundworm, and she's not litter box trained. Last night she pooped on the carpet and I spent probably too long going overboard cleaning that up. I want to have a kitten because I think forcing...

    Honesty and Confessing

    I have this tendency for past conversations to pop into my head where I wasn't wholly truthful, or even during conversations, I'm being almost neurotic with making sure what I'm saying is accurate. I'm almost afraid to have conversations because if constantly analyzing what I'm saying. For...

    POCD and relationships

    Hi all. I'm obviously having a little bit of a breakdown these last few days. I really appreciate everyone's help.

    I feel like I need to confess just how awful I am

    Saturday afternoon I got a new pair of glasses in the mail; my boyfriend was messing around and wanted me to put them on him; I was feeling a little annoyed at the idea but I did it anyway. But as I was doing it, I chose to poke him in the eye with the temple of the glasses. He just said "don't...

    Harm OCD

    Last night I was out with my boyfriend, and we were going to sit on the trunk of his car and look at the stars. He tried to lift me up to sit on the trunk, but it was a little awkward and I ended up sitting on his hand. As I was getting situated, I was thinking about making sure I wasn't gonna...

    Obsessing about dating

    So I met this guy recently. I'm usually pretty good at reading people and determining pretty fast if a guy is someone I'd want to date or not. And when I first met this guy, I had a couple small red flags. But he wanted to hang out so I decided to give him a chance. We ended up going on a date...
