Struggling today :(
I know the thoughts are absolutely false but they seem so real and really the biggest issue I have is worrying about relapses

I'm sorry you're struggling today! Is there anything you've done in the past on days like this that has helped?
Anytime I play games online with my friends I feel better that's the only thing that really helps me break this basic delusional brain state
@Soft_Fumo_Wishes - That sounds like a healthy way to distract yourself from the thoughts! Have you ever tried therapy?
@ No I can't due to money and travel
Im struggling with false memory pocd sexual what if thoughts. I discussed it with three therapists. Did CBT and ERP. Ive been free of this intrusive thoughts for 11 months and now its back and i feel like at square onewith doubt. Redoubting things ive already did therapy on and disproved. I felt inner peace and fine for almost a year and now back to feeling stuck ruminating questioning whats real memory and whats false memory even though deep down i kmkw its false memory i have evidence against the thoughts and its so ego dystonic theres no proof as my therapist said.
Last week was a lot easier for me. I felt like thoughts didn’t control me and my actions as much as they did earlier. Today was really hard for me and I feel like I’m starting to lose hope again:( I can’t take the thoughts and the feelings that come with them anymore. I feel like I have failed and I’m never going to be happy again.
Anxiety is much better but intrusive thoughts have reared their ugly head again. Thing is they don’t scare me but they seem like they should have meaning since I’m not anxious like I used to be!
