Currently dealing with real event ocd here. Well I tried to gain reassurance and oh boy did that come back and bite me on the ass. It triggered an intense wave of anxiety and rumination. I should have known better haha I been dealing with all types of ocd themes since 2013.

Well now I have accept and move forward that my ocd is latching onto a new set of ruminations and anxiety all cause I gave into reassurance. Lesson learned hopefully oh lordy!

In a current flair up of real event ocd. I guess I am doing better than expected. I feel that I am close to moving on but I am hung up on ruminating about the police coming or going to prison. I really want to finish this chapter of real event ocd and move on with my life.

Hi everyone, I am a long time ocd sufferer I overcame so-ocd, had some run ins with harm ocd but the worst for me is real event ocd. For the past decade real event creeps in my life I manage to beat it back but eventually it creeps back maybe after months or even years later.

In late March I experienced a flair up of real event ocd I actually began to tackle it using erp and just going on with my life. The problem is real event seems to be latching onto anything I do for example my birthday coming up. The real event theme is kicking my ass currently I feel like being 29 going 30 I should be making less mistakes. My mind keeps showing me flashbacks of the events.

Is this even ocd anymore? I have numerous events that I truly either cringe at or not proud of. I actually feel like a shit person. Worse is im turning 30 and made numerous mistakes throughout my 20s. I truly want to learn and grow as a person and use my 30s to actually be a mature adult. I feel like it is too late almost like im beyond saving as if im a polluted person.

Sorry for the long text everyone.

Over the last decade I have encountered Hocd, Harm ocd, Real event ocd. The hardest being Real event ocd. My current flair up is caused by someone calling me a "pervert" and in that moment my mind just spiraled out of control. Do I handle this by accepting that I was called that name and just go on with my life?

It feels so automatic I am trying so hard to stop ruminating. How do I stop?

Hello, I am struggling with a recent flair up of Real Event OCD. I am currently not engaging with my hobbies that I loved such as researching my family ancestry and learning about other cultures. Since this flair up I am afraid to move on and partake in the hobbies I once enjoyed doing. I am afraid to move on am I supposed to force myself to engage with my hobbies?
