Hello all! I thought I would share some thing that has really been helping me with guilt or real event OCD. There are a million examples but I will just give you one, my dog has heart worms and I just know that it really is my fault. I could sink into the ground and be swallowed up by this guilt right now I really could, if this is how you feel do this exercise with me now, take a deep breath and say “This is extremely difficult for me, I am really struggling to meet my own expectations right now. It is extremely difficult to resist doing a compulsion right now but I know that I am a good person with good intentions in my heart. I am allowed to make mistakes.” It does not fix the situation, but it at least genuinely alleviates the grip on my chest when I start feeling that guilt. Please let me know if it helps any of you :)
