False memories ??

Does ocd make you feel like you did something bad but you literally have no memory of doing it? But you’re questioning if you did the images in your head?? I can’t convince myself

I don't think you have to try to convince yourself. It might be better to just accept the feelings of uncertainty and not engage with the OCD thoughts.

Yeah but also the “other way” I ruminate about how everything is gonna be after I’ve done the horrible thing

Yes Omg and I didn’t even do it. I truthfully believe I didn’t but I cannot tell myself I didn’t and my anxiety is terrible and I’m on pills

Same with me... to assure me, that I haven't done something, I imagine it in detail. How I would feel if I did it and liked it, how my body would feel, etc. ... I had one POCD thought and by analyzing it again and again, trying to feel how someone who is in to kids feels, only to then reassure me, that I didn't feel like that at all, I trained those weird thoughts and feelings on to myself. I know, I'm not a pedophile, but OCD tries to constantly convince me, that I am, same goes for unwanted sexual thoughts about animals... It just is incredible destressing and soul destroying...
