Can anyone share their experience of pure o with me? I know that ocd is just ocd and all that, but it would be helpful to hear from others that maybe experience what I’m going through!

Hi! Thanks! How does it manifest for you? What do compulsions looks like? At the moment if I’m not constantly trying to be mindful, my mind goes back into the same monologue loop of trying panicking that I’ve assaulted someone I had sex with, and then going through all the reasons that doesn’t make sense. Kind of like “what if she thinks you assaulted her? That would be terrible. No, that doesn’t make sense because…but what if she was lying about that…no because…but what about this?” Etc etc. Does that resonate for yourself?

@Loomin You have to actively choose to stop
