Anyone else kind of shoot themselves in the foot by imagining your false memory in such precise detail? Adding certain details, reactions scenery, real trivial details …etc. It’s like I know I’ve done this to myself but it now feels so unbelievably real. I think mine is also possibly mixed with real event which doesn’t help.
OMLLLL YESS, I usually imagine, make up random names, random details mixed with real stuff
Yes I’m in exactly the same situation at the moment. Had a memory of a previous intrusive thought, started trying to remember previous reassurance and try and prove it wrong etc. ocd challenging everything I say to prove it wrong. Now it just feels real as I’ve thought about it so much 😕
yesss mine is also mixed with real event but I can sorta realize it’s false because it’ll look different from the first time it popped up. I think my brain adds details to see how familiar it is or to match it to an actual memory.
Anyone with false memory ocd able to see the false memories in detail? And they feel real and you remember every little detail but you still know deep down it never happened?
It starts off with thinking you’ve done something wrong but it’s hazy it doesn’t say what but it fits with what you’re afraid of. It then starts adding pictures and scenarios and they start to become more and more detailed until you don’t know what’s real or not anymore. I’ve struggled with this for almost 15 years of the same false memories occasionally adding more details. Has anyone else had this experience of false memories becoming so detailed it’s hard to argue against?
Does your false memories feel like “making sense” when there’s no sense? Like it actually feels real and feels like other things might’ve happened cuz you overthought it to that point? Or that you’ve “figured it out” but still questioning whether it’s real or not?
