[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your OCD and depression are getting the best of you. [/quote]

This.  And that you can't cope with the OCD and the depression if you are not being honest about how much the EA is affecting you.  Ruminating about things is a classic sign of OCD and depression.  If you are not being honest about the fact that you are still ruminating about the affair, you may not be fully addressing the OCD.  Also, interpreting things in their most negative like and thinking that that highly negative interpretation is the only way to view something is a classic part of depression.  Are you seeing a cognitive behavioral therapist for depression -- that person should be working with you to develop a different way to frame the EA and your recovery from it.  (You are not a failure for continuing to think about it.  In fact, your biology could be driving you to continue to think about it.)  You need to talk about this and you may need to adjust your medications.  [/quote]
