How do I do it though, I was actually able to piece together when I did the most gross stuff, I was 13. But still, is there like a mantra or saying that you say while doing ERP?

@IHateMyself An awesome mantra is "live in uncertainty."

I agree! Starting therapy with a NOCD therapist REALLY helped me out of my rabbit holes. Also, medication helps me so much! Starting medication is what got me well enough to start therapy.

@GeckoGirl3 Please talk to someone who can help you, like a therapist and doctor. You're not alone! You deserve the help you need to get well from the ocd!

Yeah, I’m in that hole, I’m happy to see I’m not the only one, it just haunts me. I’ve stopped watching porn all together and I’m never looking back, I watched just vanilla for a couple of years, but the intrusive thoughts really kicked in, thank you for responding, I hope I’ll be able to start exposure therapy and possible medication

@GeckoGirl3 Thank you, it’s just so frightening, I can’t believe some of the things I’ve done as a kid, everyone has seemed to tell me to move on and that I’m not that person anymore, but I panic a lot. Thank you for responding, I’ll definitely try the mantra you recommended!

I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?

my real event is so bad today. has anyone got any support. i’m in therapy, ive been on meds, but yet i can’t stop feeling guilty for what i did when i was 11-13. the fact that i cannot remember exactly what age or exactly what happened, how many times or anything, im 20 now, and it makes it worse im trying not to ruminate but im constantly trying to figure everything out. i get these intrusive thoughts that tell me if i was 13 then it’s worse, or that i don’t deserve a good life. but i can’t remember and the guilt consumes me. i remember what i did. just nothing else about it and it honestly is eating me alive.

Idk how to caption it other than that. My whole life I’ve had an issue with memory hoarding and the upside has been that I have a really vivid memories of my childhood and I get to remember my best days, the main downside has always been I have a lot of childhood trauma too and I remember every detail meticulously like I can relive and reanalyze them which has caused issues in my healing. However as much pain as it is to remember bad things so well it’s always been a bit of a comfort bc at least I know for sure even if other people don’t know or don’t believe. But as of lately I I’ve been forgetting things, whether it’s what time I’m supposed to work (and I have compulsions when checking my work schedule bc I’m always scared of reading it wrong so I usually open it up read it close it and open it up again 2-3 times so I usually KNOW) or what day it is, or just small things that I don’t remember saying or doing that other people swear on. I just have always felt like I know at the very least I know and lately I don’t and I’m so scared of going crazy and losing myself like literally my biggest fear. So I hate this. Today is Friday I was convinced yesterday was Friday and I woke up today for my Saturday shift completely convinced today was Saturday. I hate being wrong and making those small mistakes because it’s terrifying to think about what else I’m remembering wrong, or what else do I not “know” that isn’t actually the truth? I’m just so scared of losing myself mind. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?
