So for as long as I can remember I have had repetitive intrusive thoughts about various things. The only thing these thoughts have in common is that they are negative and morbid. I have told therapists about this in the past but it was never talked about much since depression ,anxiety, and bpd were always the main focus.

Now with these thoughts increasing recently I wonder if it's considered to be an ocd symptom.
Things have been very rough for a couple years. I used to cope much better and was able to go to school and be social and kinda"normal" . I would have my moments but I would pick back up and keep going. This rough patch feels like the worst and longest and I'm starting to really see that these obsessive thoughts are bringing me down on a daily basis now. I obsses about things that happened years ago. Things that are stupid to keep thinking of but I can't stop. I think about all these scenarios and situation. How it could have went and what I should have said. How stupid stupid stupid I was in this or that situation. Its constant. I been in a relationship on and off for 2 Years. He is the only man (that I know of) that has been unfaithful to me multiple times. I can't stop obsessing about it. Its been a while. I feel like I have forgiven him but I can't stop freaking obsessing about it. I thought that's what happens when your betrayed which I'm sure is normal to an extent. But obsessing constantly about soooo many different things? Getting caught mumbling to myself is also begun to happen. I feel so crazy. How do I make it stop? Is it ocd or just all my other issues?

I relive so much crap daily and its never been this bad.

I'm afraid I can't tell you if that's OCD or not. I'm diagnosed with OCD but I still think it's very difficult to know what's OCD and what isn't. Anyway, perhaps you should try talking to your therapist about all of this again? If it's really bothering you and affecting you in your daily life I think it's good to once again tell your therapist about your thoughts. What do you think?

Thanks. As soon as I get into therapy, again, I will be sure to stress what impact this is having.

Hey Imalooney- for my OCD there's only one med I've found helpful which actually helps my bipolar depression as well...Luvox CR. Another thing I've discovered the causes obsessive thoughts to be most difficult to control is stimulants like Ritalin. They only intensify the obsessions. Best of luck!!
