I am new here and still waiting for my program to arrive. My problem right now is obsessive worry. I worry about everything. I recently found out some pretty devastating news about my sister having an affair with an old friend of the family and almost ended his marriage. I have obsessed over this information since I got it. I can't stop worrying about the entire situation and I know there is nothing I can do about it. My siblings and I were raised in church every Sunday and I keep going over in my mind why she would do this. We have known this man for almost 30 years and she was NEVER interested in him before. I'm pretty sure that she doesn't like him and it just doesn't make sense. My sister got divorced about 6 years ago after having several affairs behind her husbands back. She has no moral compass it seems. I haven't been able to sleep and I just feel like it's going to drive me to the point of insanity. I know my husband is tired of my obsession and me talking about this non-stop, but I don't know what else to do to make it stop. How do you turn your brain off when you are OCD?? Any suggestions?
