Very classic intrusive thoughts. They suck!

Yes. I've had those that pop up more often than the awful events I've witnessed and experienced. I realized it's because I didn't let it really play through so when I do for those intrusive thoughts or Flashbacks without adding additional content to it, the brain finally registers "Oh so that's where I archive it, it's a negative memory in the ew Gross section". It's some kind of inefficient bureaucracy happening there that makes it difficult with the lack of logic, emotional and communicating barriers, yet very simple conclusion. If only it was just a light switch with "NOPE!" yet the brain acts like it can't do any next step until it knows what to do with that scene.

Omg yes or I get horrible images of me on a mugshot and the thought”that’s gonna be you soon” pops up it’s the worst

I used to get these at night, I dislike gore and before I sleep I would be thinking something nice and then blam, a horrible gorey image just interrupts. Movie scenes were a factor in these

Oh definitely! But the extremely violent or gorey scenes are about the people I am closest too. My mom, Dad, Brother and Girlfriend. It really really sucks. When it first started I didn’t know ocd was a thing. Definitely thought I was evil/loosing my mind. Something that helped me was learning about “the ironic process of the mind or The imp of the mind” which is just the idea that the more you try to not think about something the more you end up thinking about it. Essentially the more you push back against your thoughts the more they show up.

Past haunting you?
With real event OCD, I don’t know if any of you feel this way, but do you ever feel that the past event(s) that you ruminate about or constantly obsess about are gonna come up in your future and just absolutely ruin you, that’s how I’ve been feeling for months, it just feels like impending doom, and I hate having to even think that my future would be ruined by what I did as a teenager, and I did some dumb things, that I regret so deeply, I just can’t stop thinking about that.

Real Event OCD
Just bombarded with the guilt of past mistakes. Not knowing the outcome of things makes it worse. Seeing things/signs that are associated with the real event I obsess about everyday. I see it in tv, you tube, songs and everything. It's so scary how it's everywhere

Repeat thoughts
Anyone else have repeated thoughts that play that are negative. Basically a back and forth of you telling yourself you don't want X to happen but having a thought that slips saying you do. Like being stressed out one day and saying "man I wish I were dead". But instead of letting it roll through your mind and thinking nothing of it, you obsess if you actually want that outcome for yourself and you are now scared you'd fatally harm yourself whenever you feel anxious or stressed even though you know you wouldn't. So now I repeatedly get I wanna die stuck in my head and I feel the compulsive need to say no I don't to combat the thoughts and it happens throughout the day and even when I wake up.
