Can an ocd event be traumatic
Putting a TW here because this has distressing themes. A while ago there was an event (false memory/harm/pedophilic obsessions) where I was changing a diaper of a kid at work and I was upset because he was misbehaving a lot. I don’t even remember what happened but I just have general fears about if I wanted to hurt him or if I did hurt him in a sexual way. I have not felt joy in 2 months after this. But I don’t even know if anything happened, it’s just the possibility that it did even. And I haven’t been able to live my life with any happiness in so long. I don’t even necessarily know if I should call it traumatic because I don’t want to give reality to the idea that something could have happened if it didn’t. Like can something be traumatic if something didn’t even happen? And I’ve spent these last 2 months trying to figure things out and see if I can feel joy again. But I really feel stuck and scared that there’s not a lot of hope here. Any help is really appreciated, thank you❤️
