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.

Hit and run OCD
I was driving when I passed by 2 kids playing with a ball in their front yard, their ball made it to the street, I slowed down and continued my route and looked back to to make sure they’re ok and when I got home I started getting intrusive thoughts that I ran over the kid 😢

Can someone please help. I’m struggling.
I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?

Real Event
*Trigger Warning: Work, Mistake, Harm, Real Event* Afraid to post this… One of the worst theme I've ever had is the fact that I made a mistake at work many years ago and will not be able to find out if anyone was harmed. My brain takes the worst-case scenario as reality (which is so painful), and researching has only led to more panic. I have been thinking about this incident for about a year now and am filled with fear and guilt. Is there anyone here with similar experiences or tips that could help? I would be grateful for any response...
