Oh, for f**ks sake. So I had made a friend who recently confessed to me to have committed a sex offense, and my OCD is majorly freaking out about it. My anxiety and anger is screaming at me to get away from him or turn his face into a bloody pulp, but he has ADHD, thus impulse control issues, the offense happened when he was 14, his sister the victim (might have been dry), and he hasn’t made any advances. I just want an escape, but he has been a good friend so far. I’m practicing self defense just in case though. How do I calm my anxiety and stop thinking about this as obsessively as I have, for weeks on end now? But not be too careless.

Um.. I would dump the friend.. adhd never caused me to harm any person or thing. But you should definitely give yourself some space to calm down and go over everything in a logical manner.

Like cwgrlup199 said, many many people have ADHD without doing terrible things or hurting people. You have no obligation to be friends with his person. I understand wanting to expose yourself to your triggers instead of avoiding them, but it is completely reasonable to want to not be friends with someone who has done something like that, whether or not you have OCD. In this case I really think you should listen to your gut

Yeah everyone's right about this, you're not required to stay friends with someone like that. Regardless of what excuses they have, they did something massively wrong. Don't let it get stuck in your head. It's the kind of thing your OCD might grab with both hands.

Oh wow, I’ve stopped thinking about him for a good while now. I think this all helped. Thank you guys so much!

Okay it sounds like you're really overly anxious about that... Although it is very reasonable to feel uncomfortable with that friend now! But his actions are his own actions. You need to try to resist your compulsions, let the anxiety go on its own, because you've turned his bad behaviour into a new obsession, somehow. The anger you feel towards him is utterly justified though, because that's a really awful thing he's done!!

Thank you @Spiral, I’ll try my best

Glad to hear it Dai! Stay strong!

I have ADD myself and even I’m revolted too. I’ve never harmed anyone in that way. It’s really f**ked up. I just feel...stuck at this point. He regrets what he’s done, or at least he says he does, we started a d&d campaign a while ago, and he’s helped me get back into my creative streak somehow. I just can’t help but feel guilty
