californiadreaming Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I do this hilarious (it’s actually ridiculous) thing where I check yelp, google etc to see if I’m in the background of other people’s photos cheating on my SO. I know it’s insane. Definitely a compulsion, right? Even if I just check each place once? I’m having a bit of a bump, but I’m applying my therapy and just trying to get myself in a good place to apply it. Link to comment
dksea Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 @californiadreaming - Sounds like you are looking for some reassurance Understandable, but lets see if we can tackle this in a different way. Ask yourself the following question: Do you think a person without OCD (or without cheating anxieties) would check photos online to see if they are cheating on their SO? Link to comment
