Delusional memories?
Anybody think they have this? False memories? Or stuff they think they might have done in the past but don’t remember?

This has been sort of happening to me! 😭😭😢 I am a first time mom and only had contamination OCD regarding my baby and now it’s shifting into that thinking “what if she touched something” “what if I didn’t wash my hands” and I don’t remember? I’ve been reading about it and it seems like it is false memory OCD 😥 Unfortunately, I learned that OCD can change themes and it seems like that’s what’s happening to me. You are definitely not alone in this. ❤️🩹

Maybe its similar to yours ? I have a feeling I've done something, but there is no full memories to back it up, its just a feeling knowing I did whag my mind is trying to remember and my mind constantly tries to search and search for the actual memory and I try to supress but I'm just scared of false memories. My mind also shows me some real events and mixes them in with that feeling of what I've "done" which makes it worse and feels more believable. :/

@InkJoy123 Yeah…..I get the last part….like I get emotions and scenes of real events and they mixed up with the false memory and it makes it seem more real….

@InkJoy123 Same has been happening to me lately. It’s strange how OCD does that. I feared psychosis when I first thought about that and maybe I still do, but one thing I read in the IMP of the mind is that if you worry about it, it’s not psychosis and you’re not delusional. It’s your OCD. Are you seeing a therapist yet?

@Stephie22 I am halfway in, and I really recommend reading the book “The IMP of the mind” by Lee Baer. It’s based on intrusive/bad thoughts.

Question about false memories, please help
Can it feel like you literally remember a false memory happening? And it feels like the memory has always been there and you vividly remember it happening that way? Because I don’t even know if I’m experiencing a false memory or not but god it feels so fucking real. Like I literally remember it happening. But what’s weird is the original memory was kind of different. 2 years later, the memory is not the same, but it feels like I literally remember it happening. And in this memory, I’m fucking snapping. I’m acting on my thoughts. I feel like a fucking psycho. I hope this is just OCD

False memory
Has false memory OCD affected you so badly that you feel that a lot of your memories period are unclear, vague, fuzzy and can’t recall correctly?
