Anyone else with moral scrupulousity/real event OCD? I'd love to talk to someone who understands.

Omg I have the same problem!! I feel so guilty for always asking for reassurance or bringing up things from the past. Ive ruined close relationships and I feel so bad for this. Ppl dont understand :(

I also apologize often too

I am the same! I apologise too often, always feel guilty. I have a perfectionist personality too. I'm also judgemental and critical too! Extreme black and white thinker! Very hard time letting things go and moving on...Basically I'm everything you've said. I'm also severely self critical in every way!

How were you able to fight it? What techniques did you use? I'm struggling a lot lately.

@MJocd U have to tell urself repeatedly that the fact that ur thinking about moral doings and having guilt about doing the wrong thjngs is enough for you to know that u are a good person

@theking6 Yeah. Thats true.

I'm really struggling with it, how do you cope? Everytime I get better, it focuses in on the same real event things I thought I've Already gotten over

@MJocd Well... Tbh I cant cope with it well but I try to use logic to calm myself down.

@MJocd The event happened like a year ago and Im still obsessing over it and everybody tells me im exagerrating but i cant realize it.

@fruflamuresa Logic just doesn't work for me :(

This is my real event: I cant stop obsessing over the fact that I'm an immoral person for ever viewing porn on pornsites. This is a constant obsession that comes back constantly. I stopped watching porn 2 years ago after learning about how unethical it is. I keep fearing I came across unethical porn unknowingly. I keep having porn scenes play in my head. It makes me want to punish myself severly for being so naive when I was younger and consuming porn regularly. I hate myself for ever watching it and cant stop obsessing over my morality bc of it.

@MJocd Saaame :(... but its the only thing that works when it does work... plus my checks and asking other ppl for reassurance...

@fruflamuresa Do you have the same real event? Or do u just feel the same ? :( x

Hmmm... are you a religious person?

@fruflamuresa I mean I can be, I'm not strictly religious but I believe in god

@MJocd Hmmm. I was religious before and I had severe moral/religious ocd. I didnt watch porn bc its sinful according to the religion i was practicing.

My real event is related to sex and such...

@fruflamuresa Mine is porn related :/ I dont know how to stop obsessing over my morality because of it ? I feel like the worst person on earth even though I know thats not realistic because most of society watches porn these days and doesn't have a problem with it. :(

I guess you're right but my irrational brain cant process that :(

I hope I get better :( cant live like this. I have spent 2 days ruminating

@MJocd Same... I cant stop thinking about what happened a year ago and Ive talked to so many ppl, doctors, friends, family and they all tell me the same.

@fruflamuresa I'm sorry to hear that :( if you want to talk I'll listen xx

@MJocd Thanks... uhm do you want to chat somewhere else than this app?

Hmmmm
