I know exactly how you feel, real event OCD is the worst, but I love you and care for you. Push through the uncertainty, know the problem isn't the problem and have peace. You're a beautiful person. Did you know that? Love you. <3

Real event OCD loves looking at life as black and white. That we are either good or bad people based on our actions, etc. Every single person on this planet has made mistakes and done things they regret. It’s part of being human. The human experience is not black and white. We are not either good or bad people. We are just people and part of being a person is making mistakes. Guilt is designed to help us learn from our mistakes and not to repeat them. Once that lesson is learnt there is no more need for it and we can get on with life. OCD latches on to mistakes. Treat the guilt like anxiety. Let it come and go as it pleases

It's about the Themes, you can't convince me otherwise
"The themes don't matter, it's the OCD that's the real culprit!" I don't buy that. How's that? I didn't have this crap until the real event themes came along. I wasn't born with OCD, I didn't have it from a young age, etc. This was learned, this was real event theme triggered, this was a bad habit that kept on on going and never died, the frequency just picked up and now it's a daily hell. This wasn't happening before the actual themes. Which makes sense. It's a result of being "stuck" in a cycle of guilt, shame, and constant cognitive challenges to "deal" with past deeds. I've very skeptical of any future solution. The fact that there doesn't seem to be any permanent solution for real event OCD is defeating and depressing. I don't know how people "beat OCD" without some level of delusion mindset or baked out of their mind in medication. Doesn't seem to be a holistic or real solution to this. Just more of the same hellish routines. I'm just very pessimistic, it's been years. Where is the hope. Sick of being stuck like this.

suic. ocd
does anyone else with this theme feel like their suic. ocd skyrockets when something in your life happens?? i’ve been doing so good managing these thoughts and not panicking, but i had a event happen in my life and all of them are back hitting hard. i’m arguing with myself on whether im actually depressed or not and “what if this means my thoughts are real”, it’s all what if thoughts, but because ive been doing so good with them, what if they are real this time? like im panicking again because im scared they are real? like i’m not depressed im just going through a few things right now. idk what it is. but i really need tips on how to help with setbacks and what to do to stop myself from arguing with my mind when i already know the truth.

Can anyone else relate to this?
my OCD is doing what it does best and it’s randomly selecting themes. Once I’m not scared or react to one it bounces to another. And then i temporarily forget all of my coping skills for that theme. Rn it’s fixating on the time I had a panic attack and it’s trying to make me have one again
