Yet another OCD post - been suffering with it a lot. But this post will focus more on ruminations. A long time ago, I was a very, very different person compared to how I am now. I was very impulsive, when I saw something incorrect, I registered it in my head as correct, not because it was, but because I liked who and/or what said it (eg. there was a website that said Brum began in 1992, but it actually started the year before, but the website was an interesting one).
Looking back at my younger self with kindness isn't something that's terribly easy, especially when you think about all the things you did without knowing any better. Whilst I am aware that everyone has to have made at least one mistake in their life, my own mistakes echo in my head endlessly, including as I type this. I'd be interested to know if any of you have this with your OCD, I don't know much about the disorder (I haven't done a great deal of research, I don't tend to do it on things that depress me) but, from what I've heard, it's a pretty common symptom.
Let me know if any of you have this. It's nice to find some relatability with scenarios like these, especially for the posts I've done on the "miscellaneous" segment of this website about nice things like VHS tapes as well as the serious posts I've done, such as this.
