anyone with SOOCD question every little memory of your past? like i’m questioning and trying to pull things out of my butt from my childhood as “proof” i am. even though i’ve never questioned it before. i read stories (a compulsion i know) and it makes me feel so much worse. every day i don’t do research i feel better. but i was just wondering if it feels so real at times? like it feels so true sometimes and it is so stressful.
