I have been suffering from ocd since a decade now, but recently got stuck on an incident and its been a month that i have not been able to move on from this intrusive thought cycle.
Actually, a month ago I attended a party with my colleagues, where I must have drank a lot of alcohol as a result I passed out. Literally blackedout and woke in the morning only to realize that i passed out on the washroom floor and in an inappropriate undressed manner. Initially I took it lightly and did not believed it UNITL I saw my pic - of oddly lying on the floow - with my pants OFF!
I requested my colleagues to delete that photo of mine which he did deleted, BUT I have been constantly wondering that what if such images exist with other people as well? Since I have not been to each and every single person in the party, what if that picture that i made sure to be deleted exist in some other person's device as well.
This is haunting me to extreme anxiety and typical real event ocd symptoms are there. I am constantly recalling every possible scenario that could have had happened, I am constantly fighting the urge to go to people and ask wethere they have any media of mine, I am not able to sleep, eat and not functional at all!
I realized that this must be my ocd and thus I am writing this post so as to get a rational third person normal point of view.
I am literally dying inside only because of 1 doubt - that is - WHAT IF THE IMAGE/MEDIA IS STILL PRESENT SOMEWHERE, AND WHAT IF THIS MEDIA COMES OUT SOMEDAY FAR IN THE FUTURE, WHAT TO DO IN SUCH SCENARIO AND HOW TO LIVE WITH THE UNCERTAINITY THAT SOMEWHERE 1% POSSIBILITY IS THERE THAT THE IMAGE COULD STILL EXIST SOMEWHERE.
you seem like you're in a lot of distress. have you booked an appointment with a therapist? if not, please do so ASAP. reddit can only help so much, and a therapist has very specific tools to recognize anxiety and manage it, especially if it is of the form of OCD.
