Oh my goodness yes…exactly the same thoughts and checking compulsions but I’ve been in a relationship for a long time. They are the worst and so energy, time and mentally consuming!
I find coping with these intrusive thoughts so much harder than some of my other thoughts.
Have you tried labelling the compulsion to look at photos and feeling check as being OCD? I try to see it as my OCD bullying my to thibk about it so that it can controll me.
Do you find that the conclusion you come to…yes I fancy them enough or no I don’t fancy them enought cause a spiralling effect to make you panic and feel miserable and you can never win? If so…that is definately some ROCD thinking.
How are you doing now?
