Hi peace48, false memories are terrible and the more you revisit them, the more hazy they seem to become and the more they tend to twist and make you out to be the villain in the situation, at least in my experience with mine. Try to remember that you are not your thoughts and you did not ask for them to be what they are. Also, there’s no way to definitely confirm/deny what occurred in a false memory, so your OCD will never be satisfied, the only thing to do is try not to give these thoughts/memories anymore weight by revisiting them or dwelling on them. Even if the false memories were true, no amount of worrying can change the past, believe me I’ve tried, so try to move on without carrying them with you any further. I know that is much more easier said than done. Not to provide reassurance, but the fact that you are worried about whether or not you did something wrong means you are not a bad person so doing something terrible in your past would be very out of character. I know it’s very hard to live with uncertainly, your OCD wants you to give it a yes/no answer, but even if you give it one, it’ll still doubt that answer or back door spike you for that answer in the future. Starving it with uncertainty is the way to break free from its hold on your brain. Has your therapist been having you do ERP about this? I would definitely bring up your current breaking point state with them so they can adjust treatment and help. Stay strong, you can and will get through this. Best wishes and take care.

Hi you seem to have good advice could you help me too…DO I EVEN HAVE OCD? IS THIS OCD OR WHAT? PLS HELP ME I had a Dream where i am confused as to did i see a girl or a guy did i want a girl or a guy and it felt like i wanted the former and real life also feels like that how is it not okay how do i tell myself this is ocd cause i am calm even thinking about this not anxious and okay with the thought that it was a girl in the dream could be okay if would be in real life too and i said that that means i am okay that means something right.… What do i do?! I have stopped writing or saying i know iam straight cause in a way i don't believe it but why wouldn't i thats my reality or is it? I have stopped writing I don't want to be bi or anything its like i am accepting without knowing why would i do that be okay with that? Am i okay or is ocd doing this? Like other people hate these thoughts say it as wel have anxiety have something to tell them its ocd and i have none now so What is that supposed to mean i have ocd or not? Or is it just me in denial cause i feel thats more real than anything else rn.… like I believe that this is my truth and why would i? Is it actually what i want?

@peace48 That’s great. I’m glad to hear it. Just gotta make sure you’re not reassuring yourself or telling yourself that it’s not true, that’s a compulsion. Good luck 👍🏼

i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…

Please help
It’s never been this bad before. I feel like I’ll never get better. Every day I remember new things to feel guilty about and new fears pop into my head. What if I get doxxed? What if I said something online that could get me in trouble? What if I was hacked? What if someone is looking through every post, every message, every account I’ve ever made. I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole and there is no way out. I’m 21, I keep thinking “no one will have grace for you because of your age. You are an adult. You should have know better. You don’t deserve to get better”

OCD
I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩
