Can false memory’s feel like a realisation and it feels like it actually happened and then later on it starts to feel like it didn’t and every detail is confused and you don’t know if it’s real or not anymore?
Thats currently what I'm struggling with. I don't know if my false memories are combining with real events to make them worse but I'm constantly bombarded from them. Sometimes I ruminate and a lot of the time as I ruminate, new "details" will form and I get a realisation feeling as if I'm actually rememberimg something from the past just like real memories so its so hard to tell the difference :( Some will die down, but thats for ones that don't form details or I move on to the next false memories. Even then I don't think I'll ever be able to know I 100% didn't because of my real events so its a possibility but also its like just cause I dismissed one false memory or that memory died down does not mean its not a possibility anymore. 1 false memory out of many cannot be the only one that could be "true" Idk its been affecting me especially with the more "details" that pops up with the false memory and it feeling so real and I have a feeling I "know" I did it unlike others who have a gut feeling they do :/ Also the realisation feeling is what makes it even worse for the details.
@InkJoy123 I know,everything you’ve said I completely relate to it’s so draining,the realisation feeling is absolutely terrifying
My problem is that I thought my false memory was true at first and now I feel like there is no way it could be false 😔
@Hopeforthefuture Exactly that’s the same with me I’m scared I’m jus trying you convince myself that it’s fake :(
@LiIac Really? I thought it was just me. It's so hard to go through and all I can think about
@Hopeforthefuture Same I though it was just me,it’s the word t theme for me so far,It’s like I thought it was real before so it must be real,it’s honestly so scary but it only came to my mind when I was super anxious about something else and I’m sure I would of remembered something like that before
@LiIac Thats very similar to mine. I got mine while I was very anxious already and then it horrified me and I thought it was real. I even called my mom and told her some of it but not all details because I was scared. Now I just feel like it couldn't be false if I thought it was real and I couldn't find anyone who had thought it was real at first.
@Hopeforthefuture I know I’m so happy ours our very similar it gives me someone to relate to but I also feel bad that your going through it because I know exactly how it feels it’s honestly torturous :(
@Hopeforthefuture Do you want to talk now about it on discord or something It might help,only if you want to :)
@LiIac Whats your discord? I can try but I haven't used discord in a while so I might have forgotten how to 😂
@Hopeforthefuture Oh no worries 😂it’s Torppid#1416
@Hopeforthefuture Sorry it’s a strange name it’s my gaming name lol
Yes, had this my whole childhood times when you really dont know if it happend and times when you know it didnt truth is if it actually happened you would know it 100%
@kohner10! I know it’s awful :(
I had a false memory that I believed at first and told my mom about and then later realized I don't think it happened that way and it was false. Its been the hardest theme for me personally
@Hopeforthefuture Yeah definitely it’s one of the hardest themes that I’ve been through and it only popped up when I was very anxious about something else and I never had any memory of it before which is strange because i know I would of remembered something like that
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?
Same theme of harming my family member in a similar way the details what I said and what was shown to them and the environment around me but that’s all I can get it’s hard to focus on the environment only what I said and what I did. This memory keeps coming up and leaving its instant. They seem to be ok the one in question I also don’t have a timeline if I harmed them no timeline like I did it this time or I don’t remember. I don’t rmemenr actually ever doing this. I felt like a creep because this woman days ago made me feel like one I internalized that and now my mind has been picking up thoughts or “memories” of harming my family member but I can’t ever rmemenr doing anything like that plus the dream or “memory” when I had it was in another state years ago but it only came up now.
can a false memory feel very very very real? because i literally don’t know if something happened or not. absolutely no clue but it feels so real
