I totally agree with Stacy! Accepting the uncertainty is key. Every time the thoughts come up just tell your brain “maybe, maybe not”. Start out small; do it once a day then tomorrow twice a day, then 3 times a day, etc. This will build up your tolerance for uncertainty. Sadly we will never be able to figure out past memories we are unsure of. The only thing we can do is accept the uncertainty and keep moving in life. Be kind to yourself! You got this!

@Realsupercell123 Yes, you were only a child. Plus everyone makes mistakes. It’s not about beating ourselves up over mistakes, it’s about learning from them! What would you say to a friend in a similar situation? Would you say they don’t deserve to be happy and that they are a criminal? Of course not.

OCD likes to latch on to past events and make you doubt what happened and who was responsible. This is a very common way in which OCD will cause distress. Know that you are not alone. The key is to remember that memories of past events are often not accurate. They cannot be trusted. You need to accept uncertainty in terms of what may or may not have happened. It is not uncommon for children to explore sexually when they are young especially if they are exposed to pornography or other sexual behaviors. The reality is that you were a child. Please show yourself compassion and allow the feelings of anxiety to be there and recognize that it doesn't say anything about who you are today.

I need to vent this out Mine First obsession was whether I got her consent but now it is slowing switching to whether I really was a child. I think I am starting to doubt everything about the event . I know it's sounds stupid but That what I really feels.

The thing is your OCD is going to keep morphing and keep changing memories up on you. It’s going to bring up new worries. The only way to stop this is not to give it any attention and to move on the best you can.

@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. So basically don't care about it or ignore it? It is very hard to ignore when It is telling me that I am a bad person. But If I ignore that I feel like I am accepting that I am a bad person.

@Realsupercell123 Yes that’s the only way to defeat it. Okay let OCD make you feel like a bad person. What does it matter what OCD says? Who cares? Just because you think something doesn’t make it true

@NOCD Advocate - Greg J. Oh and great news I talk to the girl and she doesn't remember it at all and she doesn't think it was as bad as I thought. Maybe nothing really happen at all.
