@Bryan A few things; if I keep it to myself I get 10x worse, always need to talk to someone who knows my ocd! And trying to analyze the event to "find answers" in an attempt to comfort myself will 100% only make it worse and more confusing, adding details that might even be false memory ocd. What did you learn? Btw no matter how bad you felt during your episodes, did it always mellow out after 2-3 weeks? I'm terrified I wont feel better, I have never been this distressed in my life:( I can't sleep and I barely eat.

Exactly! Stuck in a loop 24/7! I saw a therapist earlier today and got some sleep medication, I desperately need to sleep. It's a complex situation, but I am obsessing so badly over something inappropriate I may have said years ago that was used against me by a horrible and manipulative person. I never meant for it to sound the way it did, and now I am spending 24/7 analyzing the situation, trying to figure out every word that was said by every person involved. And the more I think about it the worse I feel! My head is all "OMG!!" all day long! Its like a puzzle that's impossible to put together. But I pretty much spend all day feeling shame, confusion and anxiety beyond belief :( Are your pure ocd issues mostly based on things that make you feel guilt or shame?

@Luago Analysing and mental reassurance is all I'm doing, day and night. I have never had an episode this bad. All I can think about is how this is has nothing to do with ocd and that I really did say something really bad. My anxiety has been overwelming 24/7 for about a week. And I feel like if I dont go over and figure things out, then I wont get clarity about it, anxiety will never settle and I wont be able to move on. What I'm obsessing over was something that was said 10 years ago (and was never meant in an inappropriate way) and I have no idea why it suddenly came back☹️ (sorry for the rant)
