Anyone else remember something they did in the past (usually years ago) and it makes it feel like the situation happened just yesterday? Which starts a whole new distress pattern Any advice in grounding oneself in those moments?

This is what I suffer from every day- real event ocd. The best thing you can do is ERP with the content. Accept and agree with what the thoughts are telling you, or even make it worse ie. “Yes, I must be the most horrible person in the universe for having done that,” and then try to redirect your attention. I also try guided meditation to calm down in the moment. 10% happier is a great meditation app

Thank you! I will try that

I never realized that this was real, thank you! Over and over again.

Hey guys. So I am struggling with this too. I was at work the other day and saw these two cute guys(I didn’t even talk to them or even really look at them) , I wear a ring on my left finger just bc (I’ve been with my boyfriend I adore for 3 years) well idk if I actually was covering the ring with a paper and I had a thought of “omg your a horrible person bc you are hiding your ring so these guys don’t see it” and now I don’t know if I even actually hid it or why I even had that thought because I don’t want to be with any other guy like I never even talk to other guys bc i have 0 desire. So now I feel this horrible guilt and feeling like in”cheated” by possibly hiding my ring even though I don’t even know why I did that. And I have so much urgency to confess and tell my boyfriend and I feel like If I tell him then more real event ocd cycles will pop up and it will never end. Help.
