does anyone else mentally review the past to see if they’re obsession felt true at any other point? it feels like it kind of did for me (i don’t know if the memories are real though), so i’m struggling now more than i ever have with an obsession because it feels more legitimate this time. any advice?
I don’t know I’m stuck there too. I’ve had bad ocd periods in my life but this time it feels different and more like my thoughts are real. I guess that’s just ocd tricking you but yeag
Just last night I was trying to see if my own OCD was real by scanning every time I could remember it “being a sign”. It’s the worst.
So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget
Does anyone else’s false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?
I struggle with looking back at a past social media interaction and thinking catastrophically. It’s the worst because I’ve deleted my account and can’t go back and check.. which of course my OCD wants to do. It gets to the point where I’m scared something is going to come out and I’ll get arrested one day. It’s so scary! I feel like I don’t know what’s real and what’s not anymore.
