I used to think pocd was horrible but real event ocd takes the cake trying to remember every single detail or spending hours trying to remember it’s happening right now and it’s killing me

The treatment for real event OCD is quite literally disengaging every time those thoughts about your past event come up. As well as the horrible things OCD says about you because of this event. Get on with your life with your guilt and discomfort. Stay uncertain about whether you deserve to move forward and just do it anyway… eventually things start to become a bit more clear and your brain lets it go. Behave your way out of it. You can’t think your way out of it

i completely hear you. i felt alone for so many years and still do. i'm so sorry that you're going through this, please know that you're not as alone as you feel!! we are right here ❤️

I’m suffering from both rn, it’s painful, because I have done gross things in the past and my brain is saying “if you did that, you would most definitely do that” which is not true at all, I hate the moments when my brain goes numb overthinking and the feelings of guilt and shame go away but so do the feelings of peace and reassurance, I’m just blank, I hate it, I just want my normal life back
