You can’t be responsible for the content of a website - you don’t even know what it included so don’t worry

Thankyou, I do know that. My brain really enjoys making me feel guilty about things outside of my control.

You know it is just your ocd talking and trying to make u feel guilty ! You did not film this video, or participate in any point of it ! Someone probably flag it for deleting it just after you saw it, but you don’t have to feel the responsability for everything wrong in this world ? you are great and this is not a big deal❤️

Hey Mjocd, I have suffered from this type of OCD aswell as you and when I saw your post, I wanted to help because I know how nasty it can be. My advice and what has truely helped me (especially recently) is recgonising that assurance seeking is a form of a compulsion and that in a weird way bottling things up is actually healthier for me. Not in a toxic way but in a way we’re you let the worry stay in your head and accept that it’s not real and that their is nothing you can do about it. I definitely agree that you have nothing to worry about but I also know that I have had countless people tell me not to worry about the things I have brought up with them and I continued to do so. OCD will lie to you and you have to truely accept that you are being feed lies and that in order to let them go, you just have to let them be their. It is unfortunate but the only way around this, is through this. Anytime you feel like having an OCD thought is wrong, it will only come back stronger. Let it be their, try your best to be mindful and aware of the present and try to avoid the need to compulsively ask for reassurance as this will only make the thoughts stronger in the long run. Also, google real event OCD i found the articles helpful. Can give more advice if this helps you in anyway! Sorry it’s so long, just feel very personally about this form of OCD

Thanks @Joey92. It's been 2 years...my brain still brings it up when I'm about to fall into a spiral. I sought so much reassurance after the event, I remember I became really ill with these thoughts and would have nightmares telling me I'm a bad person for not reporting just in case. Everyone has told me I'm not responsible or in the wrong, and rationally I know that. In my rational moments I can clearly see that all my actions were perfectly fine. I was on a safe website, I was scrolling past suggestions, I thought I saw something abit strange but just continued scrolling and just logged out of the site all together. I didn't really do anything wrong, I cant even be sure if I really did see something weird or my mind played a trick on me. Adult websites are weird like that. It's not having the certainty that caused all this. I dont know why this still bothers me 2 years later. I did stop seeking reassurance and felt better, but sometimes I just cant help but makesure I share this event with others and have them assure me I am not a bad person for not reporting something immediately. I was young back then, I didn't even know how to flag or report things. If I had the Knowledge I have now about internet safety i would not hesitate to report things just to be on the safe side. I dont even visit adult sites anymore ever, I am too afraid of ever coming across something horrible just in case. I know its unlikely anyone would upload something horrible on public sites like those, as they comply with the law, but I still have an irrational fear about it. :(

*Trigger Warning: Work, Mistake, Harm, Real Event* Afraid to post this… One of the worst theme I've ever had is the fact that I made a mistake at work many years ago and will not be able to find out if anyone was harmed. My brain takes the worst-case scenario as reality (which is so painful), and researching has only led to more panic. I have been thinking about this incident for about a year now and am filled with fear and guilt. Is there anyone here with similar experiences or tips that could help? I would be grateful for any response...

I feel nauseous. Extremely sick, i cannot eat, cant sleep well, and I haven't enjoyed things I normally enjoy to cry in bed and spiral for several days already. I feel extremely anxious over my past real events. I remembered something extremely triggering. I used to be morbidly curious about crimes and like I remember when i was a younger teen I watched a dark documentary that honestly i shouldnt have watched. There was this extremely weird scene and i think i felt weirded out but also a little aroused? but only bc I was thinking "lucky, shes already having sex. I wish I was her so i could experience it too." The poor person was like 1-3 years younger than me at the time. I KNOW how wrong that is now i legit feel like im going to throw up rn. Anyway I think I felt a little aroused??? And I think I touched myself a little bit and imagined myself in her place? I dont think I enjoyed it bc i remember it felt forced and weird and i stopped. I never did it again. I feel so sick! I would NEVER watch a documentary like that now as an adult and think or touch myself to it thats just so wrong but im scared that this is a sign im a sicko/p. I remmeber crying at the end of the documentary bc I felt disturbed by the contents but i still put some in my watch later out of morbid curiosity to see more real cases of these crimes bc they scared me. I never watched them again though. It only happened once and it was before my ocd started which SCARES me even more!!! And i wouldnt watch them as an adult either theyre too disturbing! I regret it so badly and feel like a monster bc it was messed up. Like what was wrong with me?! Theyre extremely disturbing to me and I rather avoid such content bc its triggering to my ocd but im afraid now like was that a sign of me possibly being a p? Am I a monster??? Am I in denial? Is this even ocd?! I feel so much shame and guilt it's killing me. 😔
