Confession OCD

Currently struggling with that, I try to hold off from confessing but the guilt that I’m experiencing makes me feel so bad I tend to cry out of frustration. And my partner ends up finding out that way.

I often feel like that, too... But I try to refrain. I confessed to my new partner once in the months we are together, then I sought for forgiveness from him for the thing I have confessed. I told him later on, that I shouldn't have confessed, that I shouldn't have sought reassurance and that he is not supposed to give reassurance to me. I try to stay strong and not confess to him again, that's the only thing I can do.

I thought I was the only one. I experience this for sure.

The earliest memory I have with confession ocd is around the age of 6/7, and it’s been apart of my life since. I’m 23 now, and I struggle with this everyday. I have a partner I love very much, too much. And I also, feel the need to confess every single thing to him. But it has slowly started to negatively effect him. So I’m currently trying to find out my own internal tools to help bypass the unnecessary urges to impulsively confess everything, at least not right away. I’ve been trying to give myself more and more time to examine my thoughts and identify where they’re coming from. I can’t lose him. And I’ve been afraid that if I don’t start battling my ocd, it’ll take over me and everything I love.
