Suffering from OCD unusual symptom

Postby Princeofwomen » Sat Feb 24, 2018 3:21 pm

Hi everybody,

I have been suffering from OCD for a very long time. I had different OCD symptoms in this period of time. I have developed a new OCD symptom recently. Whenever I talk, my mind makes me think that I have said something that I am not supposed to say. It makes me think that I have revealed my secrets myself. Of course everyone have private things in their life which they do not want others to know. However, my mind constantly makes me think that I have said those things that I am not supposed to. I did a little research about it and found that this is called the "doubting disease" and "false memories". In my case, I constantly have doubts that I have indeed said those things. In fact, it gets so worse that sometimes I even believe that I have indeed revealed my secrets. I took antidepressants escitalopram and dosulpine hydrochloride, as I am also suffering from sex addiction. However, my symptoms never improved. Any advice would be appreciated. I would be glad if someone could provide some tips about how to deal with this. Thanks.

Stop.

Stop worrying about if you've done something, and decide to not care, if you have. If you have, you'll hear about it.

I think it's really that simple. Note... I didn't say, 'easy'. Not at all easy. But I think to break that loop, no matter what kind of therapy a person gets or what name you put on it, that's what it boils down to. Making a decision to not worry about it, don't care if it has happened, worry about having said the wrong things, when it gets back to you that you did, not before. It's really hard at first to break a compulsion but with practice it gets easier. I had to do that with harm OCD intrusive thoughts and they got much better.
