How do you deal with false memories
There are a few that makes me feel like actually happened.

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 Yes! Mine is harm theme and it's nearly killed me ill be honest. I just try and take comfort in knowing what kind of person I am 😢
@Sazbaz27x Yes I've had the two themes! Pocd made me so unwell. I'm so sorry you're going through it, I would love to talk! X
@Sazbaz27x Yes I am actually on the false memory support group on Facebook if you want to find me on there ? X
@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
Hi everyone!! This is a new kind of theme I’m dealing with. My brain will come up with false memories of my boyfriend saying awful things about my family or me…deep down I know it’s not real. The more I think about it though, the more real these “memories” feel. How do I deal?
any advice for when you get false memories that feel really real? especially something that had JUST happened, it’s like ur brain distorts it. i feel like i do something wrong 24/7 then i get over it and ocd latched onto something new
Does anyone else’s false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?
