Real Event
Hi it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but to those who has real event, have any of you confronted the person about it since they were like involved?
Hi it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but to those who has real event, have any of you confronted the person about it since they were like involved?
I’m struggling with this at the moment. I really really want to message the person involved and ask them to reassure me that this event DID NOT happen. However, I am finding some relief in the realization that I can’t do this because I know how weirded out they would be because they wouldn’t know what I was talking about at all. Which proves to me that nothing happened
My therapist told me If you know them still, and you think it wouldn’t hurt them more to reach out or cause issue then it’s good to reach out but realize that you only get that once to reach out, you can’t keep reaching out. I am not reaching out to my person bc I don’t want her to try and call the cops (i don’t live in her state or near her) I don’t know if she’s ever thought of this event ever again, I hope that if she had she would contact me bc I can’t stand the thought of ruining her life, and it could do more harm bc I haven’t seen her in like 8 years maybe longer and we haven’t talked or been friends since then either
@Justmesadly It’s just that I confronted them with it but I didn’t say anything about it cause I said it was best to call. I’m worried he’ll bring it up cause we’ll be calling in a bit
@Justmesadly Hey I’m curious about this perspective. In my case I am absolutely terrified that I made out with someone a year and a half ago. I am scared I cheated on my partner. I KNOW that the chances that this happened are extremely low but it has not left my brain for the past 3 weeks and I feel a significant level of anxiety. This person is still kinda in my social circle and part of me desperately wants to message him and just confirm nothing happened and just put my mind at ease. He isn’t really a close friend at all and he barely talks to the people who matter in my life. He has also had mental health issues that others have been aware of. I’m wondering how bad of an idea it would be to just shoot him a text quickly explaining my OCD and quickly asking to confirm that nothing happened
@Dalia H. since it’s false memory OCD it sounds like, I recommend not reaching out. You have to learn to let it pass without seeking reassurance and without compulsions
I’m in an absolutely crippling episode dealing with real event/ false memory. I literally cannot get out of it and it is beyond hell. Can someone please help me with advice? If you have been through this how did you get through?! I’m out of work, the only relief is when I’m sleeping no exaggeration. My husband is b...
What ERP or other techniques do you use to combat fear of cancelation? Especially curious about those with taboo thoughts, false memory ocd and event ocd based off of real events where the fear of cancellation may actually hold some validity. I once did my own ERP not under a therapist but just on my own...
im going to be vague here, but basically i did something in the past that i regret and it became a huge point of my OCD but i have talked to my therapist and i have mostly moved past it. i watched a video by an OCD youtuber that really put it into perspective. anyway, i have been with minimal worry for a few days,...
