Yeah, it really does suck. I feel like false memories have kept me trapped in my ocd.

@swyd7 I constantly ask the friends i was with for reassurance that I didn't do anything bad

@swyd7 Mine does as well, I imagine what could have happened if there was a small moment I didn't remember and I'll almost think it's real because I obsessed on it for so long

@swyd7 That's exactly how I felt 2 weekends ago! I'm not even going to go hangout this weekend bc the anxiety the next day is too much.

@swyd7 That's what's happening to me. It's terrible, I feel like I don't deserve him

@swyd7 That's definitely not true & I don't want you to think that. Isn't it crazy how much different ocd is than the misconception everyone has about it? It's just not even close to what ppl think it is. So i feel like my friends don't understand why I keep asking for reassurance...

@swyd7 I hate that it's so misconstrued. Can I ask you something? My boyfriend and I were looking at rings yesterday and part of me is so excited about it but there's still the other side that's telling me I don't deserve him and that I ruined my relationship already and that we just don't know it yet. Everytime something good happens, or I'm feeling good about what's going on, the thoughts surround me and completely ruin those good feelings. Does this happen to you?

@swyd7 A couple months ago I started feeling awful about something I did in middle school... I'm 24 now. It's been at least 10 years. You got anxiety in your relationship over something you did 3 years ago?

@swyd7 Do you talk to him about it?

@swyd7 Same. I've told him that I'm scared I did something wrong & don't remember. He tells me not to worry & that I didn't. There's just a lot of stuff I can't explain to him tho, I can't explain it to anyone besides in this app where ppl understand.

false memory help
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

False memories
When false memories have popped up for you guys, did they feel real straight away like pop up like a memory but you’re still doubting whether they’re real?
