Don’t do any assurance seeking!

I’m also resisting that ☹️ fighting the urge to tell my boyfriend how I’m feeling or look up reports or even look up if that intersection has a camera because I keep telling myself if it does there’s no way I’d get away with hitting someone and not getting caught .. ugh I feel so crazy. I also tell myself if I hit a person I would know and there would be damage but of coarse OCDs telling me “well you felt the curb” so what if that was actually a person.

Do not check!!! Sit through it! Not trying to give you reassurance but facts are facts-You have absolutely no evidence at all that this happened. Even if you try to check there is still no way to know for sure and you will not Gain certainty. It is a waste of time energy and mental space. But let’s say there is a .0001% chance that it happened. Accidents happen people make mistakes. People live and people die. You are only human and you do not need to be perfect. We don’t need to be punished for mistakes either as a lot of us with OCD believe. We are allowed to just make mistakes and move on. It doesn’t mean we’re horrible human beings. You are deserving of good things no matter what you’ve done.

Does anyone else have irrational fears? Every time I arrive somewhere after driving, I have a lot of anxiety thinking I may have hit someone with my car. Even though I know I would surely notice if I did, I can’t shake the feeling ?

Can you share your stories if you relate?
I always worry I’ve accidentally cut someone off in traffic and caused a major accident that I didn’t see. I always feel like I’m on the verge of being arrested at any moment for having unwittingly harmed someone. Sometimes I’ll turn around, others I’ll look online for traffic accident reports. Other times it just won’t get out of my head, and I just try to remember every detail to quell the anxiety. Sometimes I worry it’s not OCD, it’s paranoia…budding psychosis. If you feel safe/comfy, would you share your similar experiences?
