This is a trigger post, so you are warned here.
So I went on a trip to Europe recently and just got back. But while there, I had a really, really bad obsessive thought. It was this:
It was the worst thought of my life. It made me cry and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I thought it was going to be true. I told my teacher because it was about her. I told her it was part of my OCD, but I forgot to tell her not to laugh. I was going to, but I was so scared so I forgot. So when I told her, she laughed immediately, which made me want to cry because it felt so real. She told me she isn't that important to be
and not to worry about it and to think of the things around me. I couldn't. It was too real. She asked me what to do, but I had no idea. I honestly am unsure what others should do. Maybe I should print out a list for emergencies. It was so terrible. I don't know what to do. After this, I had to ask her if she was okay and if she had a
that day. She always said she was fine and not to worry about her and no one did anything to her. I only didn't ask her once because another teacher got mad at me because I needed to take my medication at 9:30, but it was at the end of the concert, and she said that it was inappropriate and I should have waited. She said it in a not so nice way in my opinion. But every other night, I had to ask her. Oh, and the night didn't because I couldn't, I couldn't stop thinking about and worried about my fear of harm coming to her. I asked her immediately the next day, and again, she said she was fine and to worry about it, but I was so scared and stressed because I didn't ask her before bed. This was really bad. I hate OCD.
