Obsessively checking socials potentially OCD?
At the beginning of this year I accidentally stumbled across a post my wife made in a subreddit, since then I’ve been constantly checking her reddit account to see what else she is posting. I really don’t have to check her account but I feel compelled to do so. It went from whenever I felt insecure into the relationship to multiple times a day. I really don’t use my own social media anymore because I’m constantly checking hers, and when she does post it makes me want to check more. I feel incredibly guilty and like a shitty person for invading her privacy but I can’t get myself to stop. I don’t know if this falls into OCD behavior but I know I should discuss it with my therapist
