Medicine will not help...your mind is just looking for anything to trigger you and when there is nothing it tries to convince you that there is something but you cant remember it...expose yourself to this situation and say yes i am ready to accept uncertainty...just imagine if everything in life was with certainty...do you think you ll settle for it? No you by human nature will start looking for uncertainty to bring some challenges...Good luck my friend

it’s hard but the part of your brain that says “this is important” is misfiring when you worry about uncertainty

Acceptance and commitment therapy would come in handy here, though I have never gotten the privilege to go and do this therapy, sometimes I practice acceptance myself and it does help. I mean, at times I can't and it is too overwhelming and sometimes I succeed and it does wonders. I don't know why nor does my family (I have no therapists unfortunately to guide me) so... I don't know if this helps much. Maybe at least if you never heard of ACT before.

Uncertainty
Hi All, just wondering if anyone here has any tips with dealing with uncertainty? My OCD centres on my being worried that I have committed a crime and can’t remember doing so, I was out last weekend and my mind is telling me I attacked somebody as I got an intrusive thought to do so when passing them in a bar, my therapist says I need to sit with the uncertainty that maybe I did and maybe I didn’t and have to be ok with that But if the answer is yes then how can I be ok with committing a crime and going to jail??, it’s affecting my relationship and I’m going on holiday on Friday and I’m worried it will ruin that, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

real event
my real event is so bad today. has anyone got any support. i’m in therapy, ive been on meds, but yet i can’t stop feeling guilty for what i did when i was 11-13. the fact that i cannot remember exactly what age or exactly what happened, how many times or anything, im 20 now, and it makes it worse im trying not to ruminate but im constantly trying to figure everything out. i get these intrusive thoughts that tell me if i was 13 then it’s worse, or that i don’t deserve a good life. but i can’t remember and the guilt consumes me. i remember what i did. just nothing else about it and it honestly is eating me alive.
