How do you stop from trying to figure out a memory, there’s one memory that can’t figure out or fully know, and I know I should stop, but I don’t know how

Hello friend. I'm struggling with this right now too. It's tough, but you have to come to the conclusion that you can't figure it out and keep moving forward. I've been doing pretty well, but I slipped a bit a couple of days ago. I've done it before and I can do it again (although it feels like I can't right now). Do you want to talk about it?

Yeah, it’s just really tough. I’ve been struggling a lot with it, I’m trying to tell myself that if it’s as bad as I remember I’d surely remember, but it’s all really difficult

@OCDHaver I totally understand where you're coming from. I've really had to learn to just sit with the discomfort and do nothing about it. That is what you need to practice. It feels impossible and you'll feel awful trying to ignore it, but you have to push on. OCD wants to to linger where you're at. It wants you to react. It takes time and a lot of practice my friend. I recommend looking up Nathan Peterson on YouTube for real event OCD and any other themes! He's been super helpful.

Don’t engage with the thought AT ALL. Over time you will see it differently. Look up Ali Greymond real events on youtube

I’ll look into her
