Guest OCDhavenobrain Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Hello. I was cycling past the hospital today and the emergency is on that side of the hospital so there is a way up to the emergency. I didnt really cycle on the wrong side. So a car is passing me and he is using the horn when he is passing or after. I did look back and they were caring out a lady from the backseat. Obviously or well maybe not a psychopath would, but instantly I got anxiety. Sooo now do I feel guilty of causing something. Worst case is death. I am thinking about going to the emergency and ask. But that would be a compulsion I guess. I am normally very careful when I am using that road because I know it is the way up to the emergency but I didn't do it this time. edit: it was not like the car was honking when he was behind me and I had to move. But even 1 second are important in those situations... Edited August 26, 2019 by OCDhavenobrain Link to comment
Handy Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Don’t react & don’t return. Just sit with your uncertainty like I do. It’ll clear up. Edited August 26, 2019 by Handy Link to comment
malina Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hey, I’m not sure I understand what you’re worried about, do you think that you have caused an accident or that you were in the way and delayed the woman from getting to the hospital? in either case, how realistic do you think it is that you did something wrong?

Guest OCDhavenobrain Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 The other thing. That I delayed her getting help, even if it was with 1 second. But the thing isvthat he honked when he was beside me. So not like he honked behind me and then I moved. I feelt like I had caused her death or atleast contributed to it. It is vetter now but got really scared. Link to comment

PolarBear Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 This is a pattern with you. You see or experience an everyday thing and your mind tells you danger! and thinks worst case scenario. Leave it alone. Get on with your day. Link to comment
Guest OCDhavenobrain Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Yes yes I do agree. I have had some more thoughts lately and I have to do my thing. Also throwing in some overall mindfulness or no, throwing in meditation. Because I prefer to shift the focus because that is where I find the solution to this problem we all have. Actually started today again with the meditation and it was great. Edited August 27, 2019 by OCDhavenobrain Link to comment
