Trust yourself when you say you were "in control of [yourself] the whole time." Go to the mirror and talk to yourself about this. Reassure yourself. None of us can reassure you, and that is a compulsion I have, too, when I'm obsessing. As hard as it is, don't seek reassurance, because acting out on compulsions can make obsessions worse. I have learned to reassure myself, and it makes a big difference in how long I obsess about something.

HUGS!!
