I’ve been dealing with it for 6 months now! It’s a lot better, but it was pure mental torture for so long

Three days ago. I had a pocd thought and I decided I wasn't distressed enough and that must mean it's true. Awful. That's why I try to stay away from alcohol.

It was POCD, it started with horrible false memories from when I was a child It went from thinking I may have seen child pornograpy, to spiralling thinking “what if I downloaded it?!” And got stuck on that for ages Then it went to 2 years ago when I had a few drinks, I remember having a Facebook conversation with some girl and I couldn’t remember it. So my mind is like “what if she was underage, what if you did this, what if you said that” ? Then more recently it’s been cheating OCD and even animal abuse ? And how to get better...I’ll talk about that in a minute!

Honestly, I don’t really know how I improved Gradually over time I think it’s natural, however the turning point was when I gave up. I had been fighting it so much, so I got to a point where I gave up on life...that’s when it started get better I still have off moments and off days, but I can enjoy things now. I created a ‘Bucket List’ and am trying to make the most out of life. May I ask what your memory is about?

It was about cheating ocd. I would need reassurance from everyone who was out with me... It has been really bad the last few weeks, nothing seems to be working... I also started talking therapy, hope that will Help. But now it feels like the obsessions are also about other things even worse than cheating.. just hope to get better.

I’m sorry to hear that, there really is no easy solution. It really is worse than any physical pain I’ve been through ? It definitely does get better, I never thought it would

The more you think about those memories, the more details you add to them so they seem so real and vivid at the end. Is it like this for you guys too? I guess we really have to stop ruminating

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?

First I must say I love children and harming one sickens me. So if you don’t understand pocd please don’t commment. Ive only ever been drunk around children once at a house party , my ocd then convinced me I could’ve assaulted them the next morning as my memory was patchy…I haven’t let this go for YEARS. I didn’t even know what I did? 6 years later I have this whole story, based off an intrusive image I had but still don’t really know what I did? Every waking day of my life I’m trying to figure this out but I’m getting more and more confused. I’ve found clues, coincidences , things I believe could be evidence but isn’t really? I’m mixing in reality and false images….My therapists (I’ve had 3) all say this is false memory ocd? But mine feels different? Mine feels worse? Anyway I need a break.
