Right … I read the Bible, talk to God and keep myself busy.
I’m sorry you are struggling with this right now! False memories are tricky! Our OCD wants to hook us and it gets creative. I would suggest using some Response Prevention Messaging when these pop up. Say something to agree with your OCD. “Your right, that may or may not have happened” or “Oh here we go again with that thought about….”. Sit with the anxiety of uncertainty without engaging in compulsions of reassurance, checking or continued rumination. Remember OCD wants an answer! You aren’t going to give it one!
