Can anyone relate

@logan18roach Wow that was really well put. I’m not really sure why but I just really want to remember her face, I just really like her want a future with her. I guess I’m also afraid that I have some sort of amnesia or something.

@logan18roach Thanks for this though, I appreciate it.

@Mr. Solo Dolo No problem! OCD is hard to understand and manifests in confusing ways sometimes. You mentioned that you really like her so maybe your brain is trying to detect any possible threats to your potential connection to her 🤷‍♂️. If you are afraid that not remembering her face means that it isn’t meant to be, or you don’t feel strongly enough about her, your brain may latch on to that in an attempt “figure it out” and eliminate the threat. At the end of the day, you know how you feel, and you don’t need to figure out exactly why something is! It’s hard to feel out of control of your feelings, but the more you can simply let something be, the less it will inhibit your ability to pursue what you truly care about.

@logan18roach Damn bro, maybe you should take my OCD conqueror tag from me😂 I appreciate the wise words!🙏🏾

@Mr. Solo Dolo 😂😂

@VGH Thank you. My medication could also be contributing. It just makes me upset, because 1. It could mean I have some sort of amnesia 2. The thing that makes me more upset is that I like this girl a lot, but I can’t for some reason recall her face whenever I want to. I know what I’m doing is a compulsion but I just want to remember her face, I can to a minuscule degree, but I just feel so forgetful when it comes to her face😔

@VGH And it’s not really that I’m looking for an answer, it’s just I’m trying to remember her face. Is that the same as trying to find an answer, I know it’s 100% a compulsion thoughz

@VGH Thank you, that kind of helped and I feel like it somewhat applied to me. But would that information apply to remembering one’s face ?

@Mr. Solo Dolo I know you would like an exact answer. But remember when we are engaged in compulsions we are trying to be are about something, to alleviate doubt and uncertainty. The best solution is to not know and to stop trying to remember. Be willing to not know or remember. I know it’s difficult, but it’s ok to not know and feel these uncomfortable feelings. You are teaching your brain a new way to be. This is the response prevention part of ERP. Take care.

@VGH *trying to be sure

@VGH Thank you so much for your help🙏🏾
