You don’t have to punish yourself. No punishment needed. OCD always makes us feel like black and white, and if some little thing happens then some really bad thing will happen. This is just not true. Consider that part of your therapy would be to watch disturbing things on purpose and then ride out the anxious feelings. You practice doing this over and over until you realize that you are not in danger.
