Scared
Some false memories feel more real that others…..why??? Is it because this one is “connected” to a real event ?? That is stressing me out

@scenic Yes :( my brain tells me that since I did something bad in the real event (I feel extremely guilty about it)I could be capable of doing this false memory too….

@scenic I had no memory of it….I was just ruminating on the guilt of the real event then I got a flashback of this false memory and it got worse from there.

The more distressing memories will seem realer to you if you keep on trying to figure out what happened. Don't let OCD win. You've got this !!

I heard something that really helped me that said that memory is contextual, and when it shows up in your brain you are now looking at it through the current context.

It really helps me hearing how memory can be changed over time and doesn't mean the actual events happened. But it does suck when ocd throws more false memories at you despite knowing this
