Yes, this happens to me all the time. My brain gaslights me into thinking I did something horrible, even if I had no previous memories of it anytime before the obsession started.

Yes totally ! I knew before the false memory that it didn’t happy but with so much rumination it’s actually crazy what your brain can do !

False memory
Does anyone else’s false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?

Is it supposed to feel so real ?
Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like « I know it’s not true but …. » while I personally don’t « know that it’s not true » I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it

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
