I believe I done something awful and kept looking for evidence and now I’m stuck with this one piece it’s causing so much anxiety, and I don’t know if it’s true, what I think I done would put me in prison, HELP
It's not true. When you do something awful, especially being a thinking person, you would be able to remember with all little details. A bad person who does bad things has not this behavior about it!
It's just the way your anxiety shows up
@Lizzie Scheavi Exactly I suffer from one night where I think I done something awful to a female I’m so scared, I constantly think anout it and try and remember what happened, I was so intoxicated so I’m struggling to remember, what do you suggest
@ Anonymous Stay strong!!! Like I told u, Bad people don't suffer from their bad attitudes. They don't have any anxiety about it! It's your anxiety playing with you ☺️💁
@Lizzie Scheavi Thankyou but it if it was ever one night to do it I think in my head it would’ve been this one, it feels so real
@ Anonymous Ocd make all things real. It's our enemy 24/7. Remember this. When theses throughs come in, just ignore it. Don't think, just continue your business. You're giving so much attention. You know this isn't good
@Lizzie Scheavi - english isn't my first language I don’t know anymore, I’m depressed and been given antidepressants, it’s been over a year, I think about it all the time what I think I done if something came up about that night I would not be surprised and instantly think it’s me who done it, only thing that hasn’t happened is anything come of it
@ Anonymous It's OCD, but it's trying hard to make you think like that. We don't have de same theme, but a advice that works for me: do exercise. Eat well. Do your hobbies. Go to a travel. Sun always helps. I know that doesn't sound important in our situation, but it is! Live your life 🙏🥰
@Lizzie Scheav I don’t even know I feel as though I wanted to do it which is so bad and followed through with the actions, it’s all awful lives not been the same
@ Anonymous Wow, I have this urge too. This is what makes my ocd so terrible. Starts with anxiety and de urge to do the action. I hate so much!! But listen a song, try to dance, buy new clothes...
@Lizzie Scheav Thankyou, how you coping with it all? I hope your doing well
@ Anonymous hii. I'm just trying to accept that I have this mental issue. Sometimes I'm very anxious, sometimes I get better and after I get really sad. My themes are sexual, so this can be really hard at times. Especially because of body sensations. But I need to be empathetic w myself (what's hard). How about you?
@Lizzie Scheav I’ve been diagnosed with depression since this night I believe I done an awful act to a female, it’s hit me like a train I don’t see me ever moving on, I can empathise with your comment it’s so difficult, are you seeing a therapist ?
@ Anonymous No, I'm a little bit afraid and it's expensive here I live. I found a therapist who went through the same things I went... So I'm really considering too talk to her. I have this feeling of talk about myself, about my mistakes, about my feelings. I'm afraid of being a bad person who deserves it
@Lizzie Scheav It’s so expensive everywhere I just hope we both get through this, I haven’t had an OCD diagnosis either but definitely had it as a kid but I thought it had gone then this night but I don’t know if it is OCD so I’m even more confused than anyone
I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?
*Trigger Warning: Work, Mistake, Harm, Real Event* Afraid to post this… One of the worst theme I've ever had is the fact that I made a mistake at work many years ago and will not be able to find out if anyone was harmed. My brain takes the worst-case scenario as reality (which is so painful), and researching has only led to more panic. I have been thinking about this incident for about a year now and am filled with fear and guilt. Is there anyone here with similar experiences or tips that could help? I would be grateful for any response...
Real event, legal ocd, and false memory ocd around events that happened years ago but never bothered me till a month ago and now my life is being destroyed because I feel sooooooooooo guilty
