By being in denial, do you mean that being in denial about having false memory OCD and thinking you actually did the things that your mind leads you to believe. If that is what you are asking, then yes. It is a horrible and scary feeling. I feel like crawling out of my skin when it happens, which the frequencies range. It is a living hell when it does occur.

Yes, the thought that I am in denial is common, and has been through my 15 years of the condition. Our brains are incredibly creative, and thus, the possibilities created in intrusive thoughts are equally as creative.

Yep, definitely. And this is doesn't only happen with real events ocd, but with nearly every pure o theme.

Does anyone else’s false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?

How do you know the difference :( I genuinely cannot keep living in this torment. it all started with an ‘intrusive thought’ where I had like a hazy flash of something reading an article. and I remember thinking ‘what if’ and ‘what is this’ and then that intrusive thought turned into me ‘remembering’ something else. which caused me panic. then I started trying to find evidence because it contradicted what I remembered this entire time. this was last year in like september. fast forward to march this year, it came back up- but this time stronger and with more ‘details’ and what nots. and I’ve been ruminating on it since then trying to remember and connect and It’s like I’ve added all of these details. but are they real? or is this just my OCD? I just feel like if it were real I would have never been able to keep it to myself. but also what if it was so traumatic that I blocked it out? because it all makes NO sense for me to do something like that. but it also fits what I was thinking at the time. idk
