Hello y'all ;) When and under what circumstances did your false memory pop up? Did it present as a photo or like a movie tape etc? I am just curious and trying to find a way to distance myself from this image.
most false memories I have are weirdly in third person like im watching it on a video š¤ I usually am able to decipher as the memories are illogical, but sometimes it is difficult
I view my intrusive thoughts in first person, they are like a quick flashing image that is always really disturbing. I then later build the story through rumination / trying to figure it out.
It's the same with me :( and do they arise in an anxious state?

And when did they pop up, how can you say they are false?
@Mayla123 You canāt. We just have to accept that weāll never remember things clearly. Thatās the fun part lol!
@Zahra991 Really this gives me hope
@Zahra991 I can not live with the thoughts being true..
@Mayla123 The image... i mean it arose when I was in an anxious state but anyway..
@Zahra991 It wasnt what if.. well after the image it was a what if.. but the picture/image was in my head
I experienced the worst as a picture :(
They are so so annoying because the more you use logic to prove them wrong and argue with them the more real they feel and then you get stuck like I am now š«
I saw a meme, my ocd ran with it.
@Anonymousee My false memories add in, but I canāt see faces, itās very blurry like a dream. I canāt physically touch it in my head. Itās like a cloudy figment. Thatās how my OCD shows up as memories, real memories have senses. Smell, touch, sight.
any advice for when you get false memories that feel really real? especially something that had JUST happened, itās like ur brain distorts it. i feel like i do something wrong 24/7 then i get over it and ocd latched onto something new
Does anyone elseās false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?
When false memories have popped up for you guys, did they feel real straight away like pop up like a memory but youāre still doubting whether theyāre real?
