associating songs/objects w intrusive thoughts?
i’ve had real event for about 4 months now, and whilst i’m getting better with it, it has completely ruined my view on some of my favourite songs and certain places. i get anxious when i go to listen to music in case i forever associate them with the real event, or just horrible intrusive thoughts in general. on top of this, certain objects and places will trigger real event intrusive thoughts due to me being around those things when i was at my absolute worst - it sucks cause one of these places is my commute to work so i’m scared i’ll just always be reminded of my real event and all the horrible feelings associated with it :-( i don’t hear obsessions about associations talked about much - anyone else struggle w this?
