Confessions of an Office Worker: Before, during and after a Pandemic

Product Information

But I still can’t seem to differentiate between some obsessions and reality, especially with regard to OCD guilt and normal guilt. Sometimes people SHOULD feel guilty, so how can I tell if I’m dismissing the type of guilt that leads you to try to do better in future, along with OCD guilt? Well, who am I kidding, I don’t dismiss any guilt. The other issue is my relationship with my husband. Why did this affair happen when I had never been unfaithful before? We do quarrel , but have sex once or twice a week. However, I’m not particularly attracted to him and go through the motions . (Although the affair has unexpectedly boosted our intimacy .) We were in love when we married, but after the children were born I felt I could have lived without sex . He denied it tooth and nail, but not only did I notice; EVERYONE we worked with did too. I had to see them every day, pretending like nothing was going on. Of course, we broke up.

The adventures of a sympathetic central character caught up in situations many of us will have endured. My fiancé bought a catering company, and we moved out of state for him to run it. He started talking a lot about a wedding planner that they worked with. Like, a lot. This girl was coming up in conversation constantly, and he kept trying to come up with reasons to see her, like, 'Our dog wants to play with her dogs' (?!)." In yoga during opening meditation, the teacher said, “Breathe in calm, relaxation, harmony, and peace. Now breathe out stress, strain, suffering and dis-ease.” Well since I had run out of breath on my exhale, I breathed in dis-ease! This can’t be good.AM i right in believing that once you “Accept” the thoughts it is common that the amount of thoughts will increase ? One day, we were having a drink at a hotel, and his fiancé messaged him asking if he was having an affair, because he is out so many nights a week when he used to not even be out on one. I watched him type, 'How could you even ask me that? Of course I'm not. You're crazy!' That should have been the warning sign for me.

Many clients ask the question about how their OCD can improve when they won’t find out for many years if they acquired the illness they fear. I had a client who feared asbestos and felt that exposure therapy wouldn’t help because he wouldn’t find out for 20 years if he would develop mesothelioma. The reason Exposure and Response Prevention works is that it retrains your brain from sending off false danger signals about non-harmful things (i.e. sharing a glass). With repeated exposure, you ultimately feel less fearful of the object you were exposed to, even without the benefit of knowing the future of your health. You will no longer feel the particular object is harmful as you did before, and won’t feel the need to waste your time wondering about the future. In your case, sitting with uncertainty and facing your fears about HIV, will lead to less concern that these actions are possible. Hi Jen, Thank you for your nice comments…I am happy you found the article helpful. It is counter-intuitive to make peace with OCD, since it is the source of the discomfort you are feeling. But since we have little choice about what thoughts / feelings show up, it is better to work with what you are offered. Lowering resistance can be the new goal rather than ridding yourself of thoughts and feelings. OCD doesn’t have a cure, but you can surely change your relationship with it.

Hi there We now have a baby and a house. I know he is my person for life, and I have no regrets, but obviously I would have wanted to meet him under much different circumstances." People can react differently when they’re having an affair,’ notes Hayley. ‘Some may try to “make it up’ to you with unexpected romantic gestures, others will become withdrawn, some may even accuse you of being unfaithful.’ Hi Laura, Thank you for sharing your intrusive thoughts. I’m sure a lot of readers will be able to relate to the type of thoughts you have with your OCD. I remember changing my baby cousin’s diaper when I was about 15 and having a thought / feeling that I was doing something wrong. It was unpleasant and weird, but it eventually went away. With OCD, thoughts may linger and cause distress, but try to label it as OCD and keep doing what you were doing. Give up the idea of trying to control or stop the thoughts because it only fuels more OCD. Instead, learn to peacefully co-exist with them and stop assigning meaning to them. When I have been holding a baby (fully clothed) I have thought ‘what if I hurt this baby?’ sexually or physically by dropping the childI have continued to battle anxiety and obsessive behavior in my adult years: aiming for perfection, worrying that I have not done enough, insisting that I return to work to find something that I know that I had not really lost. However, my intrusive thoughts have returned and they have sent me into a spiral of depression. I would prefer not to share the actual thought. He was considerably older than I was, but I didn’t care at all. He treated me with such care and respect and love. I was a shadow of the women I once was after more than a decade of family violence in my marriage. I had lost all of my confidence, and he began to build it up by being patient and kind.
