Oh god i get like that all the time. It gets so bad i spend most of my time reliving the conversation and talking aloud about my response the other persons response. God it is a nightmare! Then im freaking out worrying about it for days on end and im still reliving the conversation. It makes me so scared. But now i do know why i do it now so i understand more. I went to a councellor and told her all about how i felt and my everyday life and how i view things and she said i had OCD and i was striving for perfection, cause so many terrible things had happened to me, so least i know why now. I had to go to a councellor cause it was my last hope to understand myself and why was i doing all these weird things.

I keep alot away from partner as he would think i was mad. I talk to myself alot going over and over the conversation out loud and all my worries too.I have been with him for nearly 4 years. He knows that i am like that but when he is around and i have an urge to talk i make out im talking to the cat about it lol.
