I deal with this bad. Anytime something is mentioned about my partners past I get so anxious. It’s like I don’t want her to have had a past before me. But it’s so unfair bc I’ve had more relationships in the past than her. Need an ERP for this
@Anonymous Me as well. Ur not alone.
I didn't know this was a thing. I have the opposite problem. postactive jealousy? is that a thing? I'm fine with someone's past — it's in the past for a reason. it's the thought of them being with someone else in the future when we eventually break up (and that mindset is a whole other issue I gotta deal with) which will prove my (precieved) inadequacies.
Yeah it’s the opposite for a lot of people compulsions make you want to ask questions and details and hurt your self more it’s pretty sucky
Yeah it’s horrible dates and years even story’s when she was a kid trigger me its so crazy how your mind can do this
But we are not wrong for feeling this we just have to realize life happened and we must go on and keep working at it
I had gotten a lot better with my OCD, in general I had a real grasp over my relationship ocd and intrusive thoughts, I was able to comfort myself and see them as just thoughts. This is really embarrassing, but I was triggered a week or so ago when my boyfriend told me one of his key rings came from a girl he slept with 1 time but was friends with (this was 6years ago and has nothing to do with me!) This trigger has led to my sexual intrusive thoughts returning, I have this thing where if I’m having a bit of ‘me time’ my brain sends me images of people I don’t want to think about at that moment in time. Two nights ago it was my boyfriend’s stepdad and I’ve felt guilty ever since. If I’m honest with myself, I’ve always had this sort of issue but I convinced myself that if I didn’t climax whilst thinking of them then it didn’t count and I could let the thought go, I didn’t climax over his stepdad but the thought now isn’t leaving me and I just don’t know what to do. I feel really alone in this and like a weirdo, does anybody else experience this sort of thing ever?
Are there any demisexuals on here that struggle with SO-OCD (I'm a straight woman, or so I think I am). It's a struggle to know what's OCD and what isn't
