I have a myriad of conditions one of which is OCD. Well it's generalised anxiety with OCD tendencies. I take SSRIs which help
my main issue is thoughts rather than compulsions. Specifically regarding my relationship. It's that every time something good happens my anxiety disorder has to piss all over it
so my current one is: feeling guilty about finding people besides my boyfriend attractive. It's natural, everyone does it, etc, but every time it happens I feel guilty as if I've been unfaithful ( I wouldn't do that) and start thinking. "What if this means I'm going to cheat ?" "Do I want to?" "What if I'm a bad girlfriend?" "He deserves better" and it goes on. Much worse
another one is I constantly doubt that I'm good enough, because I just generally get intrusive thoughts about what a **** I am
So my questions
1) reassurance that it IS normal to find other people attractive and I'm not a total knob for this
2) advice on how to deal with my anxiety.
don't tell me to see a therapist, I've seen 12 different ones to varying degrees if minimal success. Do not want to do that agaib
Put the internet to work for you.
