False Memory OCD and actual memories
How can you tell the difference between actual memories and false memory OCD? I try to do this but every time I do it my mind wonders off

The whole point is that you don’t have to be able to. Overcoming OCD is all about being fine with the uncertainty. I know it’s easier said than done but instead of trying to fixate on whether something actually happened or not, just try to get your mind off of it. Hope this helps!

Actually, I can never tell unless I ask the people around me if it actually happend. Also, most of the time I can't distinguish the difference between my dreams and the things that actually happened...

@cassxxx Mine is like different. It involved an online discussion that I later deleted. My mind is telling me that someone said something meanwhile I never worried about someone saying something because i never remembered. It sucks
