It’s always there

Does anybody else with a real event obsession have the event always in their brain? Like you can’t get away from it? I don’t really have “spikes” like my other OCD themes, this real event is always in my head from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep and it’s something that ERP and self-therapy has had little effect on. The only thing that has had a little effect in a positive way has been not confessing anymore even though I really want to.

Yes, for the past 2 days my brain was stuck but I got tired honestly. When I get too tired my brain stops running like a broken record

@Gaby29 I did watch it. It helped… for about an hour. LOL. My event is ruining my life for real.

@tin I thought the same with my real event, that I would never could move on because “this time it was something real that happened “ and then my ocd just changed the theme (I’m not better) just changed the theme and the thought that I have now it feels worse than the real event. I guess the conclusion is that it doesn’t matter the theme :( ocd always make u think that THIS TIME is important, this time it is something real, but it’s not ;(
