@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.

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

hey guys, i’m almost fully healed in my socd journey but what’s stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. i’m also getting false memory trying to show me ‘signal’ from my childhood to prove i’m gay amd i truly don’t know if they’re real. it’s so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible
