But if you somehow saw some images on Google, and it was purely due to a compulsion accompanied by fear and horrible feelings, it’s still checking—but don’t do it again. Forget it ,it was OCD compulsion.

 

You need to accept that it was an OCD impulse, and not do it again because it’s not necessary. Ground yourself, use relaxation techniques, and maybe look at it from a spiritual perspective—that maybe this horror had a purpose, to make you aware of something, perhaps a hidden memory of being a victim? Maybe it was meant to torment you so that later, when things calm down, you could appreciate life more? Or maybe someone told you all your life that you were a bad child? Who knows if it has deeper meaning or not.

 

I’m definitely sure that people who truly are like this don’t care about it, or they aren’t trapped in that spiral of self-torture, and don’t feel disgust or uncertainty.

 

Look at how unfair it is that a stupid illness steals our time, our lives, and pushes us into delusions and false beliefs, making us think they’re real and forcing us to confirm them—what a cruel illness. I wish everyone with this type of OCD a wonderful life, free from the guilt this disease creates.

 

Limit the internet. In general, I think people with OCD should limit it or avoid using it altogether, just like people with ADHD. I was thinking recently… how nice were the times when nothing took up our time, and we weren’t constantly urged to check everything, read, and compare ourselves to others, etc.
