Mine feel so real too! To the point I want to throw up, and think I'll be locked away. Would you like a chat?

Accept the uncertainty and try and wait it out. When it’s happened to me it’s really scary, but once I give it time and my anxiety is reduced, I can think clearer and then I can usually tell.

@Sazbaz27x I have been dealing with harm ocd and scrupulosity my whole life. But now it’s been pocd with false memories for 8months. I was doing medium ok for a couple of years, ignored all the thoughts pretty well but now it’s worse than ever before. Recently I got out of a 6 year long relationship and in that moment my ocd just started to kick my ass and I feel like I’m in hell.. Those memories feel so real and when I try to figure out what is real, I get even more confused and I feel like I can never be normal. Sorry I just needed to vent I feel like nobody understands me. Even tho it’s sad that you guys are going through similar things, I’m happy I’m not completely alone. Do you guys have medication? I live in finland and I did therapy here for 4 years which only made my ocd worse because he didn’t know about ocd enough.. even tho it was CBT. I was doing everything he told me to, even ERP’s that made me super uncofomfortable and It was super tiring. He basically told me that he can’t help me anymore because my thoughts are too complicated.. I was like thanks.. We don’t really have OCD specialists here in finland and everyone here thinks ocd is just about order and being clean. Even most of the psychologists and CBT therapists.. :) they don’t know anything about Pure O or mental compulsions etc.. so I’m just so frustrated… Sorry for oversharing lol

False memory/real event question
Can a false memory be based on a real event? Like the false memory is based on something that did happen (there is a time/place/people) but you’re not sure if the action in the memory is real? For example, I’ve been dealing with a false memory and it’s based on the time I went on a vacation with my family and the false memory has a time and place, it doesn’t change and it has a specific action and idk…it just feels like it did happen…especially since it’s based on something that DID happen…idk how to explain it :( I hope it is understandable. Anyways…I hope you guys are having a great day!
