Freaking tf out
Got into some trouble back in June. I prayed and acted on other compulsions because I was so scared, and hired someone to help with the circumstances. My OCD truly took over and I no longer felt like I was a trustworthy person, that I didn’t deserve my job, and even that people were watching me through my phone and computer. About a month ago I received a call saying that everything was gonna be okay and that, in all honesty, my best case scenario had come true. When I heard this I relaxed, and was so incredibly relieved, that my symptoms had lessened dramatically as I knew I could just move on from what happened. The OCD symptoms didn’t go away completely of course, but they no longer consumed me and I felt like I was able to function again. Anyways, yesterday I received a letter in the mail basically saying that the incident has been brought up all over again and I feel myself spiraling. The person who is helping me assured me this is nothing to freak over and I’m definitely making a bigger deal than it is in my head, but I’m so scared. I feel the OCD taking over all over again. I feel like I made a mistake letting myself “relax” this past month. My brain keeps wondering if there’s something else I did bad in this one month period, and as silly as it sounds, I feel like if I didn’t watch certain TV shows or things like that this wouldn’t have happened. I keep wondering what compulsion I didn’t do to make this happen. I don’t know what to do. I’m pretty much a sitting duck for another two weeks. I’m wondering what I can do to “make things right” even though, realistically I know there’s nothing I can do. Please help. I keep having panic attacks and don’t know where to turn. I thought this chapter of my life had closed and it’s been such a strainer on my mental health. I hate myself for what happened, and I feel like I’ve punished myself enough. I’m really angry at the person who called me telling me everything was A-OK just to send me that letter in the mail. I’m frustrated because I feel like I let my guard down. I thought this was over. Why isn’t it over? What did I do wrong that’s making it drawn out like this?
