@Myheadhurts35 Well damn for me it tries putting “false memory feelings” for my friend when I never had interest in him and it always makes me doubt whether if it’s real or not, god I hope it’s not real cause false memory’s is always what brings me down cause they feel too real but so fake at the same time

Silent sitting to let it pass helps volumes. At first it's all very difficult, the first time I did this I was speaking my thoughts and I sounded crazy. I realized this is why it's called silent sitting. At this time your mind is so stressed you would never be able to make and choices or decisions without doing so under duress. Be sure to be a friend to yourself in these times. Sure you have an attraction, we are chemical creatures sure we have those but we also have boundaries, standards, guidelines, principles, ethics and goals help us to stay the course. Whenever this happens just be sure to let yourself know that while it's something you are worried about you will need to deal with it at a later time.

@Firebird My brain just doesn’t stop. I’m going to college with this girl and I’m going to see her a lot. I’m so scared and it’s making me want to avoid college.

@Myheadhurts35 It's always difficult when you have a trigger attached to a person. I would face the ideas behind the trigger and remove them from this person. To place the OCD onto another is how you begin to flex the ROCD muscle. Remember to be patient and kind with yourself. Petient enough to make the journey and kind enough to wait on your development. With OCD it's like revisiting your entire mindscape all in one. You've got a lot of junk in there like past resentment and loads of other muck. When we get anxious it's like a flood of stuff is hurled at us. Just remember to sit silently with the uncertainty and it will pass.

@Firebird My psychologist gave me this form called the Y-BOCS ( link below) and it may help you but keep in mind OCD flip flops around and makes people think they are better but in reality you just picked up a new habit or ideation. Replacement therapy works well but ultimately you want to be able to allow these to pass through you and let it go or deal with it when your more stable and able to make choices. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://healthcenter1.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/HCA_YBOCS_Editable.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjX7Jr21P75AhVuDkQIHRzfBfsQFnoECAoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1lPeTu5ubDH_3khAw5S3td

@Firebird I agree. I’ve tried getting a diagnosis but I just haven’t been able to and that makes it so much harder for me and makes my thoughts worse. I really don’t know what to do

That's why you have OCD for sure. Imagine forcing that action onto a loved one who didn't want it. That's what OCD does to you. That's why we can't let it in. It can walk on the gov paid sidewalk but never can come in.

Hey everyone, I’m still struggling a bit with false memory ocd. Mine revolves around my relationship. There are some things I have remembered that occurred early on in the relationship, whether someone texted me on Snapchat or TikTok etc. and it was old friends of mine from a friend group. In the friend group it was me and about couple guys and girls. I remember there being an instance where one of the guys had messaged me on Snapchat after I had posted something about a tv show or I had posted a picture of me and my mom and they reached out to me saying something and I honestly can’t remember at all what they had said to me but I’m pretty sure i remember I responded with “Lol” or “Thank you” , and I think the reason I’m really struggling right now is that I can’t remember hardly anything about the text at all. And of course, my ocd is trying to convince me that it was either a flirty chat, or something else. I also want to mention that I unadded a lot of people off my snap, mostly guys on TikTok etc after dating my boyfriend because I felt like that was respectful. And even after doing that, my OCD was trying to convince me that I un added them because I was hiding something or I was on adding them because I didn’t want my boyfriend to see that they were on my Snapchat, which was not the case at all. I think I’m just really struggling because I think about past events that have happened in my mind is trying to convince me that something else happened, rather than allowing me to remember what actually went on. I just wanted to come on here and ask if anyone else struggles with something like this because it’s been really bothering me the past couple days and I know I would never do anything to hurt my boyfriend because I love him so much it’s just I freak out constantly, and it bothers me a lot.

any advice for when you get false memories that feel really real? especially something that had JUST happened, it’s like ur brain distorts it. i feel like i do something wrong 24/7 then i get over it and ocd latched onto something new

Hi, I’ve had ocd since I was 12 but the hardest theme I’ve ever encountered was false memory ocd and POCD. I’m convinced I’ve molested children and people and it disgusts me to my very core. Is there anyone else going through this? I really need to talk to people who are going through the same thing as me and can share their story because I feel so along in this false memory cycle because it feels like a real memory and I feel like I’m tricking everyone around me into thinking it’s false. Please help
