Memory and OCd
Posted , 1 user is following.
Can someone give me some advice as to deal with OCD playing tricks on your memory and making you love in fear of it everyday I'm afraid I'll remember I did something terrible or something that will stain me or end my future
Anything i can defiantly remember I have admitted talked to my therapist about and forgiven myself which was hard because any mistake I made my OCD keeps guilting me back into the cycle
Now I have a memory I can't remember is true but I can't think or focus on anything else
The memory is related to POCD
Can someone please help me so I can live
I just want to have a career, have a family and help the world but OCD and my memories keep me afraid that "one terrible" memory will confirm I'm the monster I already fear I am
Please someone help

Well you say "therapist" So I would assume that's a CBT therapist. They're what you need for this kind of thing. We don't have any around here unfortunately. I know a woman that once tried SSRI's of all kinds. They did her no good. I suggested Luvox. Which is specific for OCD. She said that was the only thing that helped her. Are you just seeing a therapist? I hope CBT.

I believe my therapist is trained in CBT though I don't think her specialty is OCD. She has helped me greatly but I do
fear if I need someone who specializes specifically in OCD. But I have anxiety about leaving her as we've been together five months

Hum. Have you talked to her about this? That's what I would do. She might have a better suggestion for you.

I don't see her till thursaday so I will ask her thank you
And if I can ask do you suffer from OCD? And if so did you have many Obessions? Did they ever feel like a hundred percent real?
