I’ve been dealing with it for 6 months now! It’s a lot better, but it was pure mental torture for so long

Three days ago. I had a pocd thought and I decided I wasn't distressed enough and that must mean it's true. Awful. That's why I try to stay away from alcohol.

It was POCD, it started with horrible false memories from when I was a child It went from thinking I may have seen child pornograpy, to spiralling thinking “what if I downloaded it?!” And got stuck on that for ages Then it went to 2 years ago when I had a few drinks, I remember having a Facebook conversation with some girl and I couldn’t remember it. So my mind is like “what if she was underage, what if you did this, what if you said that” ? Then more recently it’s been cheating OCD and even animal abuse ? And how to get better...I’ll talk about that in a minute!

Honestly, I don’t really know how I improved Gradually over time I think it’s natural, however the turning point was when I gave up. I had been fighting it so much, so I got to a point where I gave up on life...that’s when it started get better I still have off moments and off days, but I can enjoy things now. I created a ‘Bucket List’ and am trying to make the most out of life. May I ask what your memory is about?

It was about cheating ocd. I would need reassurance from everyone who was out with me... It has been really bad the last few weeks, nothing seems to be working... I also started talking therapy, hope that will Help. But now it feels like the obsessions are also about other things even worse than cheating.. just hope to get better.

I’m sorry to hear that, there really is no easy solution. It really is worse than any physical pain I’ve been through ? It definitely does get better, I never thought it would

The more you think about those memories, the more details you add to them so they seem so real and vivid at the end. Is it like this for you guys too? I guess we really have to stop ruminating

Does anyone have harm OCD related to recent events? Like events that just happened or happened not long ago? I feel like my OCD is trying to find something bad/immoral I could have done in nearly every situation that I am experiencing, for example “Did you just do that?”. And I constantly want to check, ask people for reassurance, try to find a logic answer by going it though in my head,… It’s many different themes but all related to doing sth bad/immoral (e.g., touching someone inappropriately, pushing someone in front of a vehicle, putting something in a drink/food). Does anyone have the same? Or the other thing that I experienced recently is that I did something (a rather unimportant action, not harming anyone) and I go over and over it and ask myself “why did you do that? What does that say about you? Are you actually a weird person?” It feels like I draw “false conclusions” from a real event… I don’t know if that’s OCD though or not. Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same. Good luck to you all! We’re not alone in this! 😊

Has anyone had this fear that they were abused in childhood and just don’t remember? And that’s why you have harm related thoughts? Like, I kept thinking if my mom abused me in childhood even though I had not ever thought or felt that way before, it came up a few months ago when my therapist was talking about complex PTSD which then freaked me out thinking something super horrific happened in my childhood and I just don’t remember it. My mom and I are super close, always have been. My mom was protective of me, but never in an abusive sense. She would just worry whenever I went out with friends and such, and wanted me to text her every now and again to let me know what was going on. Even in adulthood she sometimes wants to check in on me if I go out somewhere (even though we live together) and she even tells me to not worry about it and she knows it’s just her anxiety that gets the best of her, thinking something bad happened or what not. Anyway, I kept thinking about this and I thought is this abusive behavior? My mom wanting to check in on me? And I think of course not, it shows she cares and loves me. It’s not like she’s a hounding my phone every second or what not, just a text or a call to see what’s up. But my mind takes it further and thinks this is controlling behavior or something. So it goes back to the was I abused in childhood and I just have repressed memories, and that’s why I get harm thoughts towards my mom. I’m always thinking there is a deeper meaning. I never even thought that before in my life, about the abuse part, but it has become stuck in my mind and I’m scared it will ruin my relationship with my mom.

Do y’all ever forget basic needs sometimes? I have been going through a phase where I don’t drink water all day until night time and I drink so much that I hold my pee throughout the night until morning. I notice sometimes I even hold my breathe and get light headed or a headache and think something is medically wrong with me 😭or is this my ocd?
