MAY BE IT WAS OCD, MAYBE IT WASN'T ANSWER THIS QUESTION WITH THIS REPLY ITS ERP.
I guess I would ask do you feel guilty about saying no, changing plans with people in general? I would say it sounds like OCD just cos that's exactly what I do all the time.. The uncertainty that you *might* have let him down or upset him was hard to sit with that doubt. And the meaning we attach to it. And then we try to soothe that anxiety by being with the person // doing exactly what you didn't want to do in the first place. P. S. You are not bad or wrong for wanting to get to bed earlier 😊
Yeah I do actually! I can imagine having the same reaction to saying no if my mom is watching tv or some other example. Guilt is such a hard emotion to feel but I will learn to sit through it :)
I think you should spend less time ruminating about your thoughts and feelings and trying to figure out exactly what they are or what they mean or where they come from. Ruminating is a compulsion and all it’s doing to keeping you in a loop of analysis without ever providing any answers. https://drmichaeljgreenberg.com/understanding-pure-o-you-are-not-having-intrusive-thoughts-all-day-you-are-ruminating/
Ok so this is going to be lengthy and probably have many mistakes so I apologize in advance. I used to live somewhere completely different to where I live now. I lived back in my hometown until I was 10. That was a living nightmare for me. I was bullied lots and had lots of very traumatizing things happen to me that are a VERY big part to my ocd today. When I was very young like 7 or 8 I was at a sleepover with another girl and she was pressuring me into doing things that I was very uncomfortable doing. She was pressuring me to take some of my clothes off. At the time I was very young and didn’t know right from wrong and didn’t know what to do so because she was being very peer pressure to me I did so because I was scared. I have never been able to come to peace with myself after this even though I have been told that I did NOTHING wrong and that I was very young and stuff. But then I moved somewhere completely different, and lost contact with everyone because I knew that it was too much for me to handle. Today someone from there reached out me ( a good person) and wanted to talk and catch up. I did talk to her for a little bit (it’s not the same person that pressured me) and I texted her after telling her how I needed to lose contact with here because so many of my intrusive thoughts came from living there, so being in contact with people was mentally not ok with me. She was completely understanding and all’s good. But I’m wondering. What happened with that girl. Should I fee guilt about? Or is this my ocd. I just need some other opinions. Please help me out!
Hi. Recently I have been alone a lot which has caused me to overthink. My main theme right now is overthinking my intentions behind my actions. I think back to a time when I did something and if I did it with ill intentions or selfish intentions. I think about things I said at a time when I made a mistake and I wondered if I said it just to make myself look better. I’m not sure if that makes sense but I’m wondering if this is an OCD symptom or if I actually did have some ill intentions that I’m remembering. I don’t know what’s going on and my guilt is getting to me.
Why do I feel so much guilt?! Is this normal with ocd?? I feel so many guilt and idek for what it’s like I feel guilt for even other peoples actions like my family or always wanting to do the right thing and then think back on times when I haven’t Is this common??
