Your first ever false memory?
Anyone find your first ever false memory hard to cope with as you don’t know where it came from? It was my first one and I was in a bad psychotic state and it always freaks me out.

I Remember my first one and then i didn't have clue about this theme So i was sure my memory was real, i actually did that... I felt guilty as fuck and i even beat myself up for that... Then i got to know about this theme Finding NOCD was a Great Blessing otherwise i don't know what situated i would have been now OCD would have made me total crazy

@Have Some Chocolate 🍫 Yeah that’s similar to me. Mine came out of the blue after a really traumatic event and I started to believe I had done the same as what someone else done to me for some reason. I really don’t know why. I then found false memory ocd and it made sense as I’ve always had chronic ocd just never knew it could be like this.

@LillyX I also didn't know about a lot of themes i just knew i had OCD After finding NOCD i could make sense what weird things was happening to me as i didn't research much about OCD in Internet, if i did i would have known... But after knowing i had OCD i didn't do any research on that cause i felt sad knowing i had a Mental illness so then my other unknown themes started causing problems... But now i know a lot than before for NOCD and I'm also now comfortable researching In Internet as i have accepted it and now i understand Mental illness is and my perspective about what Mental illness was Changed so I'm now Settled Comfortably in This Disorders World lol And yes Trauma is mainly the thing that brings OCD if Not Genetics I don't know from where my OCD came but i assume that It generated from my traumatic life As i can't say If My Parents or anyone in my family have it or not.. I haven't seen any visual signs of OCD in my parents and They don't know i have OCD so if they see my OCD traits they tell me why you wasting so much time washing hands haha so i feel like they can't relate so maybe they never had Tho who knows they might have other themes Inside as Nobody can know what's going in one's Mind...

Mine came from the fear that I cheated on my girlfriend. Even tho I don't remember a name, the face of the girl that I cheated with or where I did it I was convinced and panicking that I did it. I googled "thinking you have done something you actually haven't" and False Memory OCD came up. That's actually where my POCD started because I read a story about a guy thinking he touched his baby inappropriately after changing a diaper. And I was like "omg have I ever touched a child inappropriately" and it all got worse from there . I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from going down the rabbit hole.

@Have Some Chocolate 🍫 False memories can be awful and usually are awful. Some can even be alot worse than cheating, many people have murder, assault etc.

Intrusive thoughts and their source (false memory)
I have been ruminating on why I have been having intrusive thoughts on a specific topic. Anyone know why? Where do they come from? It freaks me out and makes me think that it came from a real memory (I struggle with false memory OCD)
