Is real event ocd intertwined with guilt. I replay the same event over and over from five years ago and I’m not sure I even remember it right. But i self reassure and argue with myself if I’m a horrible person or not

Absolutely. It’s a vicious cycle of guilt , shame , and uncertainty over the event , and trying to piece it together only makes you feel more lost. We’re here for you though , I know it’s hard

@Tmbc2740 It’s sad because no certainty will ever be enough... you really have to try hard to stop compulsions because by doing that , you tell your brain that you don’t need to know about the memory

@xiiiandreww That’s what I’m trying to tell myself that certainty really doesn’t exist because I’ll always want more and same with reassurance

@xiiiandreww It happened twice. It annoys me because it starts with me being sure of what happened and then everything changes the doubts get more and more solid.

@Teiea Yeah the memory gets more blurred the more you focus on it , I know how horrible it is. It’s honestly torturous but you’re strong enough to beat this with some assistance ??

@xiiiandreww Yes. Even though I'm pretty sure I can't do such thing and I don't remember doing it in any way the confusing and false memory make it hard to believe so.

My real event ocd only started about 3 month ago. The memory I have I believe it happened but when I look back I almost cant believ it happened, like when I look at pictures of me with my two boys I just think surely I wouldnt have done something like that. I hope that makes sense. Like I try to u understand why I did something and thought it was so normal. I'm 28 now and my real event happened I'm guessing about 5 year ago I cant actually remember exactly but i was an adult. I get really scared because most people with real even were children when It happened mine wasnt. It was to do with a pet and it did start when I was a child but I later did it as an adult. It's not something I would ever do again but I just struggle because i was an adult who should have known better tha to do what I did
