Hello Conservative,
I have been in therapy for OCD before and am still on medication. I know though that especially the scrupulosity has become a problem for me again, especially during times of stress and anxiety.
Mine isn’t quite as much about confession usually, more about continually being very very hard on myself, feeling guilty over things, over-analyzing and second-guessing myself… and having to ask forgiveness or go back to people to correct something I have said, etc… Usually now I have been doing ok though. As I said, when I am already stressed about something, my brain likes to play tricks on me.
I will have to see how it goes now after the travelling-connected anxiety has gone down.
I am flying today, arriving in San Francisco tonight.
I hope you get help with your scrupulosity too. I agree, it is a very very heavy cross to bear at times. It may disguise as being a religious thing, but really it tends to stand between the sufferer and their spirituality. Which is sad, as it is the opposite of what we want, right?
Best wishes and God bless you!
