I’m freaking out I had a dream where I cheated on my fiancé with my best friend partner now I just feel so much anxiety like I would never do that . I feel like a horrible person
I have dreams like this as well. Embarrassing, but I will have dreams that I slept with someone from high school that I haven’t thought about in years. That’s why they’re just dreams! They mean absolutely nothing. Try your best to get on with your day and don’t give the anxiety attention.
I went through the same thing a few days ago! I had a dream that I kissed a guy in my school, who I’m not even fond of in general, and it freaked me out. But it is not real, it means nothing! You are not alone
I’m sure you’re feeling really scared and distressed, but remember, you can handle the feeling of fear. You don’t need to feed OCD by seeking reassurance. You’re strong! You can handle it! Maybe, it would help you to take a second and figure out what is at the root of that fear. Is it that you’re a bad person? Then think of a corresponding RPM. Like…maybe you are capable of doing something like that, maybe not….The thought of that is scary and probably makes you feel afraid. You can handle it. Fear is an emotion and emotions pass.
@Anonymous Sorry, I know that’s not very reassuring, but it says that you’re an OCD conqueror, so I hope you’ll understand. Wishing you the best!
something that really bugs me and gets in my head with my rocd is that for most of my relationship i’ve had this nagging anxiety and ocd about it. i can accept my thoughts for the most part, but have this underlying fear that this one could really mean something and that makes me feel guilty! i don’t want to loose her but my mind tells me i do because ive had these thoughts. it’s even coming up in my dreams now! i had a dream last night that i cheated and it made me panic all today and feel so bad and this thought came up again! any advice?
I’ve been struggling with something that’s been really overwhelming, and I’m hoping to get some perspective from others here. I feel a lot of guilt about it, and I’m not sure if I’m alone in this experience. Lately, I’ve found myself daydreaming about romantic situations or getting caught up in ‘what if’ scenarios—where I wonder if I could develop feelings for someone else, or if someone develops feelings for me. The thing is, I’m in a relationship that I love, and I don’t want to act on these thoughts at all. What makes it even harder is that these thoughts often hyperfixate on one specific friend, and sometimes they feel entertaining or give me a dopamine rush. But then, of course, I feel even more guilty because it makes me feel like I’m betraying my boyfriend. These thoughts usually happen when I’m upset and looking for comfort, but then they morph into romantic scenarios, which makes me feel so disloyal. I’m constantly going back and forth between feeling curious or entertained by the thoughts and then feeling horrible for even allowing them to happen in the first place. I keep confessing these thoughts to my boyfriend, and he tries to be understanding. He’s just never been the type to daydream, so he doesn’t know if this is something other people experience or if it’s just me. I feel like such an awful girlfriend. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
My rocd is spiraling so bad i feel like I’m terrible and can’t recover 😓 idk wuts real anymore yet ik i never wanna leave my man😓whats wrong w me
