For most it’s when your head makes up things that didn’t happen to do with your sexuality. For example (this one is common) when you smiled at a friend, your head can convince you that means you love them
@Myheadhurts35 Often with hocd people can find also real events that seem like ‘proof’ and it’s really distressing. That’s what my heads been doing recently
Mine was a specific situation which my HOCD latched onto and I initially knew I wasn't attracted to the same sex, I never worried about that situation before. One day after a couple of false memories, I got anxious over that situation again, looked back and it seemed like I was.
But luckily, memory is not a recording and I have no idea what I felt then.
So do you have an idea how to control it
I don't know about controling it. But whenever you get a "what if" thought about the past, don't look into it.
Thanks,I will try
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 all, I've been okay for a while, but today I'm having a hard time with my sexually-themed false memory thoughts and the compulsion to try and "figure it out". While I've learned enough over time that "figuring it out" doesn't work, I'm just feeling extra overwhelmed today. Stuff that happened over 7 years ago is really getting to me, I'm in this limbo state just sitting here with it all but... ...anyone have any general tips for false-memory OCD?
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
