Real event ocd question
I want to ask questions about real event ocd and how do you tell the difference between real event that happened or if you see it in a distorted way. Im aware asking this from the internet its not the best idea cause everyonr has different views and it might spin me too... So this thing happened more than 5 years, i was still in school and i was on the bus coming home. Then an old lady sit next to me and started talking to me. It was annoying cause i wanted to be alone with my thoughts but i was nice with her. Then randomly she put her hand on my leg and on my thigh, and she said to me that "youre such a strong young man". Thats all it was, it was weird, i felt cringe, but i didnt thought about it. Now after years im really sensitibe to r*pe and s*xual abuse, i think because of ocd i became really sensitive to that. And now this memory came back and im questioning did i was molested/ sexually abused? I feel shame about it now yeah but thats normal, but im afraid of both ignoring this and not take it seriously, and also make it a problem when it wasnt a problem and i put more weight on myself. The feelings are still here and i need to deal with shame, but theres a difference between ocd shame and shame cause you did something or something happened to you. Cause in ocd i have to ignore the thought that screams "OMG YOU WERE MOLESTED", but if it really was that then i need to acknowledge that. So in this situation is hard cause now its like i have to put the decision on my views, on my feelings, and now because im more sensitive of this topic ofcourse i will feel like i was molested, but when im fine i will feel that maybe it wasnt that... I hope i can get some good answers
