Drinking alcohol can be a trigger for some people. The reason why I stay from drinking alcohol and coffee. I have the same fear that something may have happened. Question though, how many drinks do you usually have? Is it only when you drink that your mind tricks you into believing that something awful happened or it just intensifies? Either way if alcohol is triggering this then maybe cut back on the drinking?
It’s when I drink a lot. I’m gonna give it a long break I tend to binge drink (since I don’t drink a lot when I do I tend to wanna really party) But its just idk I wake up the next day and my harm ocd goes into full effect even when I remember the night, it tells me that I do or might have done something awful when I know I didn’t. I think it might be best to just not do it at all anymore. The feelings are just not worth it.
that sounds like false memories, i suggest watching videos about it
I’m scared and paranoid
For the last 20 years, yep. False Memory OCD, Harm, Pure O. Usually cheating or assault, rape, murder... https://youtu.be/prN6_Lt1VZg
Hi all! First post on this forum. I’m a long time sufferer of OCD and my current rituals focus on STD testing and believing that I’ve had sex with random people who aren’t my husband when I’ve been drinking. I’ve stopped drinking for the time being to avoid the trigger, but how do I stop thinking that the last time I got really drunk, I might have cheated? I know in my heart it’s OCD playing tricks again (seriously I must have done about 30 STI tests in the last few years) but I don’t know how to stop the thoughts or the compulsion to do it again? It’s been weeks and the anxiety isn’t dimming. I would usually just take the test and then.at least get some peace away from the obsessive thought!!
Does anyone have advice for intrusive thoughts while tipsy? I haven experience this before and then a random thought hit me! Had this happen. The buzz had warn off but it still freaked me out cause I don’t know it was OCD or an actual thought. I got anxiety really bad after.
I’m freaking out. I have relationship ocd and for the most part felt like I was doing better but yesterday was my 21st birthday party and I was already scared of drinking cause I felt like I was going to do or say something bad while being drunk. I went kind of hard on the drinking yesterday and ended up blacking out. When I woke up my boyfriend told me what happened and he told me that I called my best friends boyfriend, my boyfriend and that absolutely triggered me. I tried to go around it and he’s like “no you said he was your boyfriend” but he told me he didn’t take it too personal. But now I’m having a mental breakdown cause why the hell would I even say that. So many questions are going through my head and I just want to cry my eyes out.
