I’ve done plenty of things I’m not proud of either, I’ve told you one of my real events, and I have others that make me scared as well, no matter how much reassurance I get, it doesn’t work, but it is true, it’s in our past and we can’t change it. I suppose one thing that helps me is knowing that EVERY human has done something that they hate, they regret, and gross things as well. But you were young, and you’ve learned now, you’re better, and what you did isn’t as bad as you think, OCD loves to make you feel like you’re the worst of the worst, but you’re not, you were a teenager, you’re hormones are crazy and teens do weird stuff, and you weren’t watching it for the reason you’re scared of, I promise you, you’ll be okay, jus focus on what’s going on now

Thank you so much for understanding and I hope your right because my mind won’t shut off about things and it’s twisting it to make it sound worse. Like way worse if you know what I mean. I hate to even talk about it because it’s scary to me. But thank you for understanding and I’m so sorry for posting about it so much. I can’t get any relief from this. Part of me wants to move forward but ocd isn’t letting me and it’s holding me back from doing things I love and being around people I care about. I hope one day everything will be ok again. Thank you again and Merry Christmas!

@Just Breathe ❤️ Merry Christmas to you too, and don’t worry about posting so much. You’re currently spiraling and are in the thick of your OCD, I was in the exact same spot these past couple of months and I only started to start being a bit better like a week or two weeks ago. OCD is hell, remember that false memory comes in a lot with real event and it can distort and twist our events to make them far worse then what we originally feared, the only thing keeping me sane of my fear from the dating apps is looking back at who I am and knowing that I would NEVER do what my OCD is convincing me of and it brings me a lot of peace when I remember something new or am able to get rid of the false memory surrounding something, but OCD will only keep getting stronger the more we focus on the events, which is why I just think about how I’m going to have a nice dinner with my family for Christmas and that I’m going to go see Spider-Man for the second time on Sunday, because that’s all that’s what’s going on in my life right now and the past holds no wait on me except for in my mind, I know I’ve changed and am better, and that I’m trying to be a good person every day and every chance I get, that’s all I can do and I think it’s enough, you’re even was a long time ago, you’ve lived your life after that and you should continue living your life like you were before, without constantly ruminating on the event, you’re not a bad person, you just have OCD, I genuinely and whole heartedly wish you the best and think you deserve to be happy

@OCDHaver Omg I saw Spider Man also the day before last and it was so good! I’m just hoping that it’s just ocd doing all this and I’m not worried for a reason because there’s this voice in the back of my mind that keeps saying it was legally wrong and that I’m a really bad monster who deserves to be punished and it blocks out all positivity or good things in my life because it scares me so much and causes a lot of anxiety. I know I would never make the same mistakes knowing what I know now and I hope that I can be forgiven and I can truly love myself again because I know I have potential and the strength to do better in life I’m just being held back but so many things in my past, including that and trauma too. Thank you so much. That means a lot and I believe the same for you too. You deserve to be happy and I wish you the best as well.

ERP
I’m thinking about doing erp but my ocd is so severe the thought of accepting my fears happening to me makes me sick to my stomach. I also believe in the power of my words and saying I accept this Bad thing will attract it into my life. I’m not sure what I should do🥲

ocd or phycosis?
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have

I feel like a terrible person (part 2)
What if you did something so extremely awful and horrible as a child but you didn’t know how horrible the events were that your POCD and real events OCD targets? Does it make the intrusive thoughts true? The POCD real events were extremely awful and horrible... no way around... it genuinely was extremely awful and horrible... I gag and v0mit even thinking about it... its that horrible... I'm getting anxious from my POCD and real event OCD based on real events (3 times) from when I was 14... I had a surface level idea of what these real events were when I was 14... but I didnt understand nor truly know the depth and consequences or how horrible these real events were... I don't ever want to ever be a P at all… I don't ever want to ever be a Chomo at all... i don’t ever want to ever be a rapist at all… I was 14 when these real events happened and now I'm 23... I've asked my mom about this so many times and every time she tells me that it's not serious anymore, that the person is okay and doesnt remember, and that I'm not a rapist or a P or a chomo... I didn’t realize how horrible the real events actually were… I was 14 at the time… now I’m 23… my POCD and real event OCD call me a P or a chomo because of the real events… while my mom reassures me all the time that it’s all over, that it’s not serious anymore, that the person is okay, and that I’m not a P or a rapist or a chomo, but when I was doing compulsive research, I remember when I saw a post on a non OCD forum about someone’s similar situation to mine and two people said to the person that they m*lested and that they needed to turn themselves in… I don’t ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way shape or form… i didn’t know how horrible the real events were when I was 14… I really didn’t… and after the real events I never did anything like that ever again, and I never once ever thought (before, and after) about doing stuff with kids in any way shape or form... I never once fantasized about kids or wanted to do anything with kids… I was 14 and didn’t realize how horrible the actions were at the time and I never did it ever again… I never once fantasized about kids before or after the real event… I don't ever want to ever harm a child in any way shape or form... I seriously don't ever want to do that to any child in any way shape or form and I seriously don't ever want to do anything like that to any kid now or in the future… I never have had any fantasies about kids and I don't ever want to... I don't ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way shape or form... I was 14….. and after the real events I never did anything like that ever again, and I never once ever thought (before, and after) about doing stuff with kids in any way shape or form... I never once fantasized about kids or wanted to do anything with kids… I was 14 and didn’t realize how horrible the actions were at the time and I never did it ever again… I never once fantasized about kids before or after the real event… And it’s comparing me to actual P’s and chomo’s who did stuff from 12-15 and then did stuff as adults, and making me think I’m a P and a Chomo because of it… I don’t ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way… 😭😭😭 I had a surface level idea of what these real events were when I was 14 because someone told me what these real events were before... but I didnt understand nor truly know the depth and consequences or how horrible these real events were... i truly didnt... I dont ever want to ever be what my pocd and real events ocd say I am... I dont ever want to be a P or a Chomo in any way... im so so scared... these real events were so extremely horrible and awful... i g4g and v0mit even thinking about them... thats how horrible and awful these mistakes were... I dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a Chomo or a r4pist or anything like that... im so so so so so so so so so so triggered and scared and anxious...
