Anyone else have OCD about real life events and have lots of guilt over them? I know I shouldn’t but every time I seek reassurance from people (I’m trying to not do this) they tell me not to worry about it but my OCD tells me that they’re lying. Lol.

Yes I've been there. It does feel like people are either lying or just don't understand. It really is OCD. Guilt is such a horrible emotion that it feels like it just HAS to come from somewhere in real life. I used to believe that so much that I just assumed I had forgotten or not been aware of awful things I must've done, and overemphasised tiny mistakes into huge systematic deliberate things which they just weren't. Now that I have much less guilt due to working on it, it's people's incorrect impressions about me which they have from me talking about myself so negatively and delusionally which worry me instead and I have to work on putting those things right somewhat. I have a couple of suggestions: guilt can be linked to toxic shame, which is worth researching, and over-responsibility, aka moral scrupulosity, which is also worth researching.

Ok for example, tomorrow if your enemy comes up to you and says negative things, we will of course not believe it because our enemy never wishes the best for you. Just like that ocd is your enemy. An enemy makes your friends your enemy. Just like that ocd is your enemy. OCD hates everyone. It’s everyone’s enemy. OCD sends all these doubts. We can’t listen to our enemy right. OCD is our enemy, the things it says to us, it gives us depression and anxiety. So you decide now.

this is EXACTLY what I’m dealing with. it’s so torturous.

I have guilt over something I did in the past. and I obsess about it until no end recently and the fact that I can’t change it gives me panic... i obsess about suicide in turn. It’s so horrible. I used to mentally review the scenario but now I’m just obsessing about the fact that I can’t change it and it makes me feel so guilty and that there’s no way around it. it’s like that impending doom feeling

I strongly relate to this. I dwell excessively on moments from my past to the point where the people involved are in my dreams. It affects so many aspects of my daily life. I’m also trying to cut back on asking for reassurance that I’ve grown and I’m not the same person I was, but it gets very hard to refrain from that sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice on how to do ERP for this? I am unsure what my compulsions are for the guilty feeling I have.

I don’t even know what my compulsions are really lol I feel like oven been sitting in the anxiety and panic but haven’t really felt better yano
