  1. Hi everyone. I am following this forum and I see self punishment as one of the compulsions. Can someone please tell me how is self punishment a compulsion? Not able to comprehend. Thanks.
  2. Hello. I would like to know what is the "doubt" part in ocd? Doubt what exactly? Is it about doubting whether one has OCD? Is it the doubt that if your feelings/thoughts/urges are or will come true? Is it the doubt about consequences? I am not quite sure I understand what is the "doubt"? Because in my case, I seem to be rather "convinced" about the otherwise. Thanks for your response.
  3. Hello, for those guiders and we'll wishers, may you please elaborate on behavioural techniques to be used in CBT? thanks in advance for your time
  4. Hi. I don't know where to start. I have OCD to begin with. But no reassurance I seek here. My husband used to smoke when he was a minor. I am unable to forgive him. I feel like he needs to be punished and I need to leave him forever. How is this wrong? How is this OCD? Doesn't this behaviour need punishment?
  5. @discuccsant thanks for your response. 1) Would you say it is normal for my husband to not have passed 11th grade and directly appeared for 12th? 2) Also - like you explained the doubt bit, can you help me understand what is the "uncertainty" bit in my case?
  6. The urge to do my compulsion is so strong. What do you mean btw by getting compulsions mixed up? As strange as this sounds my compulsions have begun to feel like obsessions. Is this normal @PolarBear I am feeling deep sense of anxiety.
  7. Please help me understand this : 1) obsession : something wrong happened and I should not forgive 2) compulsion : punishment to be served is to leave my husband (I feel horrible at the thought of it). If this is true, can you please tell me how is the aspect of "uncertainty" and "doubt" relevant to my compulsion? I am not able make sense of that bit. @snowbear @PolarBear
  8. What do I do to deal with my anxiety? Should I be leaving everything and going? I am so scared of Andy's posts.
  9. Can you tell me how to deal with the compulsions? What do I do when I feel anxious? Is what Andy saying true?
  10. I understand but the anxiety is too high right now. I am happily married for the past three years, my husband is a software tester. My present condition, is something he does not understand because he feels I am stressing about nothing for no reason. @snowbear @PolarBear If the existing crisis was not enough, I have come to know that he did not pass his 11th grade and appeared for 12th grade! (this was about 10 years back) But this truth is making me want to rectify the situation! How can he not have studied one year and done directly next year! How can this be fair? How can there be no punishment? How can I not do anything about this?
  11. What I mean to ask - obsessions give you anxiety, right? Then why does in my case, the thought of performing compulsions, give me anxiety? ((which of course is related to obsessions)) --- I am really stuck at this point. Therefore, I am starting to doubt if this is even OCD or something which needs to be addressed?
  12. Is this idea of fixing things meaning - "leaving my husband my everything to show my stand against wrong/unlawful" also a compulsion @PolarBear @snowbear? I must admit the idea that something wrong was done and I wanting to do something (fixing things as in my above question) BOTH are giving me badddd anxiety! My question also remains - why does the thought of performing of compulsion (the fix) give me anxiety?
  13. Thank you so much for taking time to break it down. In my case, obsessions and thought of compulsions also is giving anxiety. (Meaning obsessions AND compulsions both are giving anxiety, is this normal?) Yeah, I have researched a lot on the aspect of legality when it comes to securing a seat in colleges, minute details of the programs offered etc. Shared this instance with a couple of friends. Guess these are compulsions...
  14. Hmmm. Thank you very much. Is it also common that the urge or desire to varry out compulsions (which are a result of obsessions) is so strong that too sets in fear in you? Let me break this down - my mind is inundated with thoughts (obsessions) about something wrong/unlawful was done. The urge of doing compulsion (to punish) is what is giving me immense anxiety , which is a result of the previous obsession. After reading your explanation about what the disorder is - I think may be I have recognised the obsessions and compulsions.
  15. @PolarBear does my case seem like OCD to you too? I am not able to figure out my obsessions and compulsions here.
