I have stuff when my wife mentions anything about the past, I see pictures of my daughter or thinking something naturally pop up out of nowhere. My brain from the start treats it like a genuine memory. I don’t get the maybe it did or didn’t happen or try to figure it out. It’s a real memory to me and it just destroys me. I am afraid to have a thought or think in anyway possible. 😣

The same happens to me when I try to remember. Never crosses my mind like any other thought it is a thought.

I’m struggglig with a memory I don’t know is real or not and at first it felt real like a realisation and now I’m u sure if it actually happened or if I’m just telling myself that because im scared and it only popped up when I was extremely anxious about something else that was similar :(

@LiIac No amount of reassurance will truly help, the thing is with OCD it doesn’t matter if it happened or not its the fact that your mind latched onto this thought. Sit with the feelings, acknowledge it and get on with your day even if you’re feeling like this !!!

@CurlyHairedPoodle Thankyou :) but,I also thought to myself if it felt real at first then it must be real

@LiIac No no. Trust me, that real feeling is the effect of OCD. Thats what it does. It feels SOOO real so it leaves you feeling like you’ve got to solve it when the real solution is that you have to pull yourself out of it. I struggle with real event ocd myself and it feels real everytime but once I realize it’s my OCD Im able to carry on😊

@CurlyHairedPoodle Thankyou :) and also don’t you think it’s a bit strange it like flew into my mind when I was in an extremely hysteric episode about something very similar to it?maybe it felt so real because it was similar to the thing I was anxious about

@LiIac Your feelings and experience is definitely valid. After constant rumination things like that can happen, thats just a result of feeding into the OCD. I got to a point where I genuinely believed the police were after me over some petty thing I did years ago😅 but it was my OCD for sure

@LiIac Right!! I’m glad I can help. On some days its gonna be hard to move on even knowing its ocd but dont give up!!!! always resist the urge to confess, google stuff on the internet about it & ruminate!!!

I have been like this also. Something comes to my mind and I’m unsure whether is happened or not so I think as much as possible but I can’t figure it out. I’m getting really anxious with mine. I know I should keep thinking about it but I don’t know what else to do
