I would suggest some good old ERP - that has helped me tremendously. Change the brain! Have you ever read about ERP or seen a specialist in OCD?

Hi, I totally know what you are going through. I checked my breasts daily for over a year. I had my husband check them and recheck them and he finally said "enough, I will only check them once a month". I finally got gloves to take a shower with because I would spend my shower time feeling for lumps...

Yes, me too. I have had the "tiny millions of cells" thoughts too and they get to me at times. Not as bad as the violent ones; but nevertheless, they still get to me. Hang in there. Definitely obsessions no doubt and it does get better. Recognize it for what it is and try not to think too much into ...

I am sorry I haven't responded. I feel for you! You are going through so much and I know it's not easy but you have to let it go. Just like the other thoughts, you have to accept the thoughts and decide that you are not going to check his phone, emails, ask him 100 questions... you are going to just...

Okay, 2 parts. #1 - Honestly, I had to begin investing in myself. I figured if he was going to cheat, he was going to do it and I couldn't do anything about it. Build yourself up and take care of your family. Go get your hair done, exercise, take on a hobby, sign up for a class. Invest in YOU! Trust...
