Morality

If I understand real event ocd correctly, it’s rumination over something that actually happened, and the event makes you feel like a terrible person? I think this matter is two-pronged. One part is the rumination. The other part is feeling bad about yourself. When it comes to rumination, we know that this is unhealthy, and it will suck us in and try to drain us of all life. When it comes to OCD, we have to starve the rumination and try not to participate in it. If you find yourself ruminating over an event in the past, the best thing to do is to identify that this is what is happening. Then chose to try to stop going over and over and over it. A good thing to say here is, “Maybe I did something bad, maybe I didn’t.” When you respond this way, you are training your brain you are not engaged with this. Your brain is sending all these danger signals around the event. But your RESPONSE is training your brain that you don’t care. Eventually, your brain will give up trying to bother you with the subject. The second prong is feeling like a bad person. OCD’s job is to tell us that we are bad and get us lost in guilt. It’s job is to torture us. Try not to accept anything OCD says. It wants to bury us, but we can’t let it.

All the thoughts of pocd, hocd , in fact any subtype of OCD you can think of, they are all the same. All these thoughts mean nothing about you as a person. In fact, ocd attacks things you care about. So having these subtypes means you actually care about other people’s welfare. All OCD thoughts are meaningless and don’t relate to who you are at all.

I hear you. It’s okay. All this doesn’t make you a bad person. You saw some content. Spent some time on a chat site. Okay. We are all human beings and make mistakes, big and small. It’s okay. In your heart, you don’t want to do anything bad.? OCD throws all these thoughts at you that you really wanted to be involved in it, etc, etc. Then OCD wants you to get stuck in guilt and stuck in the past. Don’t worry about it!!! The past is in the past. The OCD thoughts don’t make you bad. OCD thoughts are always meaningless, even if they tell you that they originated from you and that you wanted all that bad content. It’s never true. The OCD thoughts never originate from you, no matter how much it tries to convince you of that. What you need to do now is break the loop . You have to break the loop that goes to the past and keeps you in guilt. This loop will torture you. Ill try to send you a video. let me look for one…:):):)

Writing this post over and over is not going to help anything I promise.

OCD will tell you that you are a horrible person no matter what. Hold onto the truth and then don’t worry about what OCD says. You are a wonderful and valuable person. Hold onto that truth no matter what the storm of OCD says. Those people on the site are responsible for themselves. You are not responsible for their decisions. My OCD always makes me feel responsible for everyone’s decisions. It’s so hard to get out of that. But it’s true. And remember, every day is a new day!!! The past is behind us, and a new adventure has begun. We get to start over every day. This mindset will really help when OCD wants to trap us with guilt and shame. Remember, EVERYTHING that OCD wants to tell you is false!

I am here if you need to talk:):)

Ah, yes, I have a friend with pocd and i think real event ocd. These are COMMON. Hocd is common too. They don’t mean anything about you as a person

I think when it comes to good people and bad people…. It’s like this. We are all of infinite worth as individuals. We are all loved beyond comprehension. And we are all BAD people!! It doesn’t matter if we are murderers or the nicest person ever who just had one jealous thought. We all do a certain degree of bad things. And it doesn’t matter what that degree is. That’s why we need the redemption of Jesus. This redemption makes us clean. Then when God looks at us, we are forgiven and clean—no matter how many mistakes we continue to make.

Can you explain more about the real events surrounding your themes? What does this look like for you?

And don’t give up!!!! There really is recovery from OCD. You will get there

Don’t worry about it. Is in the past. It’s okay. Really it is

Check out some of the videos from “OCD and Anxiety.” I love Nathan Peterson and the videos. He has several videos on real event OCD. Here’s one of them: https://youtu.be/1KhdMN75dM8?si=fT6FXTpJHkoaivXT

I get it!!!! I know what OCD is like. It causes so much pain. I am so sorry. Remember, all OCD subtypes are the same. It doesn’t matter. I have a friend with POCD, who is the kindest, most sensitive person and who would never be involved in anything like that. And she was bawling at my house because she felt so tortured. And I really wanted to convince her that the POCD is the same as any other type of OCD. It doesn’t matter what your thoughts are whether they are POCDHOCD or whatever 

All the Subtypes are the same. They all don’t matter. All the thoughts don’t mean anything. It Doesn’t matter what the OCD thoughts are. The all don’t mean anything about you or really mean anything at all.

Just remember that it’s all just OCD, and all the thoughts don’t mean anything about anything.

I like what Mark Dejesus says, who has OCD himself. (I love his content on YouTube.) He says, “The problem is not the problem.” We think the problem is the real event and how bad it was. But the real problem is that the OCD is keeping us in a loop tied to this event and not letting us free. The real problem is that OCD is keeping us in a cycle of guilt. We have to break to loop, not worry about the event.
