Thoughts anyone??

I've dealt with this before. What are you needing to know?

I have Harm OCD/Pure O. A year ago I had a situation where I was reading to some loved ones and panic, fight-or-flight mechanism set in, panic and fear. A fog settled over my brain from the fear and anxiety. Horrible images flashed in my brain. In the end, all I am left with is wondering IF anything happened and what MIGHT have happened and terrible images of what MIGHT have happened. So terrible! It has left me not knowing who I am. Any help?

Sit with the anxiety and the feared consequences in a room, so you can focus on it.

The anxiety will be high in the beginning, but it will get lower.

Accept the thoughts as they arrive.

Try to relabel them as OCD thoughts.

The thoughts might keep popping up, but slowly they will fade away.

Do not interact or argue with the thoughts.

The thoughts will lose importance, once you leave them in the background.

I hope this helps.
