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

I’m pretty sure I have false memory OCD on to op ZOCD and POCD. I’ve had a few memories recently that I don’t know if certain parts in them were true or not, they feel real but deep down I don’t know and it makes me anxious. Anyone with false memory have any tips?

false memory ocd
does anyone else experience false memory ocd to the point where u worry ur not remembering something correctly? like multiple things and then u distort a memory in ur head that ur not even sure is correct, or warped, or it's exactly what happened. kinda like u overthink it so much that it keeps changing and ur not sure what even happened anymore. so u start questioning and worrying if this happened and then u come up with countless scenarios of what could've happened? idk if that makes sense..

False memories
Can someone please explain false memories related to OCD? I feel like I have had these but have never realized it’s related to OCD
