Has anyone here ever experienced an extremely sticky false memory? One that feels like it has ‘evidence’ , one that has combined real details with false, one that feels extremelyyy real. If so I’d really really appreciate any advice please. Just any tips no matter how small on how to move forward from this.
Yesss and I really wish I can help but I’m dealing with this right now too, my false memories are just mixed with real details and my imagination, try to sit with the uncertainty and stop trying to figure out, check and others compulsions you’re trying to do to alleviate the anxiety, just sit with it cuz if you engage with it you’ll end up in a spiral of so many months like me
I overcame false memory OCD. It was extremely difficult to live with but I learnt that you don't exactly overcome any form of OCD. You just simply need to understand the direction and path that your mind takes with these thoughts and be familiar with them. Be familiar with the things that normally trigger your false memory and be as creative as you can be. Think of your mind and OCD as a city that youre not familiar with at all but youre trying to learn the streets, buses to take, restaurants to go to. Thats how I settled my OCD down, I needed to understand the flow of my mind but learn as much as I can and know, that im familiar with
Think of OCD as Hell, except youre desperately trying to escape but you cant, so you end up accepting it and you make hell your newfound home
Anyone have any experience with false memories
Anyone struggle with false memories? If so, how do you cope?
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?
