So I was going to watch Titanic last night (I’ve seen it before like a long time ago) and got through maybe 10 minutes of it until one of the characters said that the character Rose was 17 when she was on the titanic and I quit watching it because I got triggered because of a couple scenes from the movie that I’ve seen before in the past and it never even occurred to me. Just feels wrong

Yeah it seems like there was more but I don’t see as many now. I tend to post a lot because pocd is my main theme and it quite literally scared me to death and I’m terrified of it

I’ve had it for about 2 or 3 years now and I would think it would get easier but I was wrong. It progressed and got more terrifying. It’s so sad how OCD is so stigmatized, especially this theme. But if my story helps someone feel less alone, then I know that that’s the best thing I can do. I actually aspire to be a therapist one day and learn as much as I can about OCD or mental health in general to help people feel less alone in this heavy world

I agree. I haven’t heard of it or seen it but I will definitely have to check it out. Thank you

I know the actress wasn’t but the thought of her playing someone younger just feels weird to me. I know it may not be a big deal or whatever but to ocd it doesn’t care. It will still do anything to worry me about what if I’m doing something wrong. Just like when I watched The Vampire Diaries or Riverdale, I thought a couple guys in the shows were really cute but they played younger characters which just makes me feel wrong. I don’t know hopefully that makes sense. Ocd just sucks

@Just Breathe ❤️ Yeah, I definitely get this, I freak out for the same, like when I thought Emma stone looked cute in the amazing Spider-Man where her character is 17, but Emma Stone herself was 24. It’s really stressful. OCD is horrible and I absolutely hate living in constant fear and anxiety, but we can’t give the power to OCD, the more we resist the stronger it’ll get, including the guilt and fear. Like I just watched porn rn and feel incredibly guilty and scared that it was illegal, even though it most definitely was not, OCD is just a jerk.

@OCDHaver Yeah I totally get it. Even with the porn thing. Haven’t seen it in a long time because it’s just not good to get into anyways but it worries me what if I did something wrong or what if they were younger and I didn’t realize it. Just to put it out there I would NEVER intentionally look that stuff up. It’s just not me at all. Just the thought of coming across it just scares me to death

@Just Breathe ❤️ Yeah, I get scared too, I actually did see something really gross on YouTube and was triggered really badly, but I went back to report it. I can’t believe YouTube would allow that to stay up

@OCDHaver Yeah it’s sad and scary. But it sounds like you did the right thing
