obsession

[spinnerchick]

I'm new to the site so pardon me if thisquestion has already been covered, but is thereanyone else whocan remember almost every experience in your life when either you or someone else v****ed?While the memories do not provoke anxiety anymore (although when it happenedit would sometimes take days to get over the trauma), I can't understand why I stillrecall such unfortunate incidents. I mean I can tell you where I was, how old I was, what music was playing, etc. etc. Am I more obsessed with V**** than other emets?

No, you're not. I remember those things too. I remember those things more than I remember things about myself (I've hardly been sick). I won't eat the same foods we had the same day, I think about it every time we go to a movie because my husband (bf at the time) got sick the morning after we saw a movie, I remember the date, everything. I always wonder why I choose to remember those memories instead of nice ones. I would much rather remember warm summer days or Christmas's when I was a kid. Not when everyone in my family last v'd. I remember every single time anyone in my immediate family was sick and it forever has tainted that date for me. You're soooo not alone. I'm right there with you.

You are not alone. I can remember "V" incidents too. Almost every one. Whether it was me or someone else. I can even remember what I was wearing in some cases. They dont provoke anxiety in me too much anymore, but I do remember.

Hey! You're definitely not alone in this. I, too, am haunted by being able to recall every single incident that I've been sick, or that someone had been around me that I've seen. Like you said, thinking about those doesn't really make me anxious, but when I think about them in detail, I kinda do. But, you're not alone. This is part of what my doctor called OCD. I don't really have many of the compulsions, moreso the obsessive and intrusive thoughts.
