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.

Does anyone recall a time where intrusive thoughts didnt bother you then all of a sudden they bothered you and you couldn’t tell the difference between your memories and intrusive thoughts.

Not even sure what this is
Do you ever question if what you said is really what you said or what others really said ? Or what you are doing? I think this is derealization where it doesn’t feel real or feels like im making it up. But it does scare me and make me wonder if im really even doing what im doing or saying. And sometimes i get scared im going to lose track of time .

is this ocd.
so i usually don’t get violent intrusive thoughts like stabbing or hurting people ect. my intrusive thoughts are more false memory/ real event based. like my intrusive thoughts will be like “what if this happened, what if im___” “did i do this” and then yeah. is this still ocd if i don’t have thoughts intrusive about stabbing or hurting people? my intrusive thoughts are more bad questions regarding the past.
