I've had extremely similar compulsions. When you feel the urge to seek scenarios in which to help people, dont, and just sit with the feeling until it subsides. There is a lot of things changing and you do not need to do that anymore, its being dealt with. As for the incident, if you feel the police ought to know, tell them. Sometimes compulsions do line up with what's needed. Just know that they will question you a lot.

@Wolfram I honestly just feel like it’s me overthinking it. Like, he told me the story in the middle of our shift and it wasn’t like he was treating it like some big secret or something. I think it’s my brain just immediately assuming the worst because I can barely even remember the conversation and only have small memories/fragments of it. I don’t even live in the state where this conversation happened anymore either.

@arthasofazeroth Fair enough. I'd try and allow the thoughts to be there but shift your focus to other things. You're not trying to do it in spite of the thoughts, but regardless of them. Spite is an attachment to it and will keep it looping in your head.
