is anyone else’s real event ocd about mean or malicious stuff they said? 

when i was 11-15 i remember instances where said some nasty uncalled for things in quite a passive aggressive way to people. specifically friends i didn’t like. and i regret it so much and wish i could go back in time and not say it. and i’m terrified it means i’m a horrible person without empathy.

Real Event OCD About Mean / Malicious Stuff Said In The Past

Real Events OCD

This is a really common thing for real event OCD to grab onto. Just like with any theme- the goal is to allow those uncomfortable feelings to be there without trying to neutralize them or push them away. When you find yourself compulsively analyzing a past scenario- see if you can label the emotions you are feeling instead of Following OCD’s urge to 
“Figure it out”.
