Zazoo Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If I refer back to before my OCD hit, to try and remember what I was like before this all started, is that a form of ruminating or self-reassurance? Is it good or bad I do this? I'm really curious. Thank you in advance. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I don't think it's good or bad but might be pointless. What do you gain by doing so? The fact is, you have OCD now and your focus should be on learning how to recover from it and doing the hard work necessary. Link to comment
Zazoo Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 I think I aim to get a level of reassurance from it, to remember what I was like around people before POCD hit especially my nephews and nieces. I find if I remember, it calms me down and gives me some hope/confidence to beat this. Is it pointless if it helps in that way or is it still a compulsion? Link to comment
PolarBear Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Then I really don't see a problem. So long as your trips down memory lane don't interfere with your getting on with recovery. Link to comment
