Can anyone give me tips on how when I have an intrusive thought that doesn’t mean I did it. Like I’ll have a thought of something then my head will tell me that I did this .. anybody else deal with this
Yes 100% I deal with this every day. I have visualisations of a crime being committed and I can’t tell the difference between it happening and my brain making it up. I deal with this every single day and the best thing to do is to forget about it I KNOW I KNOW I HEAR THIS EVERY DAY ALL THE TIME TOO AND PEOPLE SAY IT LIKE ITS SO EASY but it’s the only way. If you forget about it, later the logic will come back to you. I’m trying to forget about my false memory
@izabela’socd I really appreciate the tip, it is the best way to be honest it’s just hard when the things you think you did hit so close to home .. thanks for taking the time to reply
@Anonymous I’m dealing with this right now. It’s so hard for me too that I physically can’t bare it so I completely understand
Yes false memory !! Feels like I did the thing (thought) it’s tough but their are some good podcasts out there about this !! Hang in there
@Anonymous False memory is absolutely brutal.. I just want to be able to trust myself again? Like I kno I didn’t do something that my head is trying to convince me I did.. it’s so hard :(
I been dealing with OCD my entire life but recently I been finding it really difficult to find the slightest relief. I know it’s not good to do but I been trying not to think of the thoughts but of course they come back even stronger. Does anyone know what I could do in the meanwhile ? Thank you
Does anyone else’s OCD convince them that bad thoughts are not actually that bad…. Like I know they are so why do I feel like they arent😭😭
Can harm ocd give you thoughts like when you’re in front of a trigger “why don’t you do it” and sometimes I either freeze don’t know what to do with myself and then an urge to throw the item away. Is this something else? And sometimes I get thoughts like “what if I’m lying to myself” and “do you think you’re lying to yourself”
