Scrupulosity/hyper-moral OCD? So much suffering. . .

Hi everyone. How are you? I suffer from Pure-O OCD I believe, and the mental agony is un-bearable. Some days I feel like I've reached my max capacity of psychological distress. Does anyones else feel this way? Like this is the incident/rumination that is going to do me in. Tonight I was hanging out at my old job, a cab shoppe, and there were two regulars hanging out with us. I thought I heard one of the guys say to the other one "You don't do that #######4 to me." I thought maybe one of the guys was bullying the other. And I just froze. I was thinking about stepping in and saying " what are you guys talking about?" But I hesitated. I continued to freeze. Then before I knew it I realized that the guy was talking about someone else. But it didn't matter. I knew at that point that I should have stepped in and now I'm dying inside. I feel like I failed morally. God it hurts so bad. Does anyone else suffer from this mode of OCD? Thanks for listening. . .

I have had this experience myself many times. The best examples I can think of are times when I saw someone drop something like their phone or their wallet. I knew I should have picked it up and given it back to them, but like you i just froze. In most of these situations the person either realized they dropped something and picked it up or someone else picked it up and handed it to them. There have also been times where if this didn't happen and the person just kept on walking I would eventually unfreeze and give them back what ever they had dropped. I think that if this had actually been a bullying situation you eventually would have unfroze and stepped in. You shouldn't worry about this and it definitely doesn't mean you're a bad person.
