Help! I made a mistake and its already crippling me!

Hi, I just joined here because, even though I'm not diagnosed with OCD, I feel like i have symptoms.

But I'm here to talk about a mistake I made thats nearly ruined what I love doing. Its kinda hard and kinda silly but here goes. I like to draw and I'm on an art sharing website. But last week I uploaded a drawing of one of my female characters where I had forgotten to draw the eyelashes. I fixed it pretty quickly but now that the mistake was made I think I may have "changed" my character's gender and that if people found out about the mistake they'll think my character was male all along. I know this sounds really silly but thats what happened. Since then I've waited to let this heal like all my other OCD/anxiety thoughts but its still on my mind. I don't know what to do. How can I overcome this? Thanks.

HI

You just made a mistake and its just your predisposition to OCD, however mild, that bother you into anxiety and makes you doubt and think negative.

One solution. Redraw the same character without mistakes.

be well, dont think too negatively about small things in OCD - they can grow, proliferate in different guises and get out of control.

Cheers

Max
