I need help to "solve" an obsession. When I was a teen, I made a short home movie with my friend. The story was about a Man who meets a "lord of time", a magical person that shows the Man his past, his present and his future. Now im very anxious thinking about it. This story already exists in a similar way, huh. Its the "A Christmas Carol" idea! Now im ruminating a lot, trying to know if me and my friend had the same idea that already exists (showing past,present,future to a person) Or if we already, subconsciously, knew this story from our childhood, and, without noticing, repeated the idea. If we just subconsciously repeat, ok, this things happens. But if we coincidentally created it too, what I do with this information? How should I feel about it? Im so anxious over it

Hi friends. My biggest ocd problem is that my mind is like... Consumed by a person from my past... Im not even in touch with this person today, but I guess it doesnt matter, right? The problem is not this person, he did nothing bad to me... Its just like, I got anxiety over this person, everything related to him gives me anxiety, I connect everything with this person, its like its consuming my life... Its almost like, I'm more living with this person things on my head, than living my own life things... I hate this stuff... Can someone relate or bring me some mental peace?

Thank you all for the answers and support my friends. I will try everything you guys suggested, that therapy, the book reading, all. Thanks for your care!

I'm suffering with my ocd thougs for 5 years now. I already been told that I must stop ruminating, and allow the thoughts to stay and learn to live with it, right? but I am still anxious, feeling those anxiety waves and bad feelings inside my head, you know? i must learn to live with it and stop caring for this feelings? they ever dissapear? I did something wrong, they should have disappeared already?

Help

Hi My OCD Friends. I'm dealing with Ocd for more than 10 years... So I pretty much had it all already.... Hocd, contamination, etc etc... All kinds of ocd stuff during the years. The fact is: everything always came and eventualy leave from my head. But i'm stuck with this memory of a silly stuff that hapened when i was a teen, and the thought Just Do Not Leave From My Mind!!!! I tried everything already... Not ruminate... Ignore... Dont give attention... But it never leaves I always feel this thought is there, and that i really need to ruminate over and over forever Im desperate. Thats the only ocf stuff that still didnt eventualy leave me alone... Its been more than 9 months already with it What Can I do please

Yea, very good answers. Thank you all!

I mean, im feeling that my current Ocd problem is worst than all my previous ones.... Like "I finally reach something really terrible now" Thats a frequent thought for others in this forum too? Thanks mates

Does anyone else ever had such a thing?! I see that everyone always knows how to explain his Ocds, but not knowing how to explain mine, makes me feel even more scared I'll try again Imagine all Ocd thoughts and fears as individual fruits... One is an Orange, one is an apple, and so on. Each fruit is one obsessive thought. Is easy to explain each one individually huh? Now imagine that I catch one of my fruits (thought) and hold in my hand and smash it complety. Its just a mess Impossible to describe... Feels like it's the worst of all... Much worst than the other ones, because this one is totally ruined and smashed and ugly! Its something like that!!!

Oh, and I never feel satisfied enough about my description of this 'monster', and thats another reason why I keep coming back to ruminate over it, to try to get a better description of this abstract thing

Whats been annoying me more on the last weeks, is the feeling that my deep rumination/questions-seeking, developed a whole new concept of worry. It's even hard to explain on words. I feel like, my problem now is not the doubts and the memory itself, but something else grew there, like a "monster", a bad feeling, something "stuck" there inside this thought, that make me feel anxiety by itself....... Something unique, that no one else besides me feels too.. like I have The worst ocd of all.... Its like.. at first, my worry was the memory/questions itself, but now something else and worst grew up there, and blocked everything... Like a big shadow... Like an Abstract thing that cant even be explained! Its just there, making impossible for me to feel a "closure" for my case... I always catch myself going back on this thought, only to realize that this Abstract Monster still there blocking my judgments... Idk, It makes sense in my head but its hard to put on words....

Hi Ocean. But wow, but accepting it is so hard... I think at some point in all these months, I already gave up and "accepted" it for some time, but still there... Still didnt go away. Thats why I approached him.... Its like... Accepting or denying the anxiety, it stays anyways

Very good point

I'm stuck with a memory of a past event... Its not even a big-deal thing (this memory)... Is just a silly stuff... But anyway, I thought it was stuck with me because I had so many doubts about that day... "Why my friend said that particular thing? Why he acted that particular way?" So, desperate to end my agony, I return in touch with this old friend yesterday, Only to ask him about that day! About his motivations, etc... And he answered me... But now... Nothing changed, you know.... The thought about that day still gives me anxiety-explosions And when I'm not ruminating it, Im anxious too, because my head is telling me I still need to ruminate it, because still not finished, even with all doubts solved Edit: So, what can I do to end this suffering?! I hate this so much

Thanks for your answers my friends
