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 👍🏼

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 😩

I’m so tired I just wanna be free
I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

i don’t know what to do anymore
i haven’t talked to anyone about this, not my therapist, not my girlfriend, not my parents, but these days i find myself thinking about just ending it all. i wouldn’t actually do it, i’m too scared to, but sometimes it feels like that’s the only way out, the only solution. i feel so wrong, like everything about me is wrong, and i can’t find it in myself to believe i’m worth living. i need to know if it gets better. i’m 20 years old and have spent the vast majority of my teenage years in therapy. i can’t stop feeling like i need to confess everything, especially to my girlfriend. obviously i try to resist the urge to but the mental battles are exhausting. every time something is even slightly wrong, i feel like i can’t i breathe. whenever i’m trying to distract myself, whenever i’m busy, all i can think about is everything i’m doing wrong. how can i possibly live life to the fullest if this is how i am?
