I really struggled with this! Ultimately what help was being very present. Like I feel the cool tile on my feet I feel my hands touch the soft shirt, feeling the weight of an item. Doing this made me know I hadn’t done what my mind believed I had. Also I noticed if I was questioning if I had done it I didn’t

@Lucy Van Pelt Does it feel very real for you when it happened?

@Anonymous. Yes, it’s so hard but I know why values and I know my heart and I just had to learn to trust myself again

Personally with me, the main thing I do is try to let the thought be and not give it power. My therapist ones told me our mind is like a bus and where the driver and there’s gonna be a bunch of people coming into the bus, some positive and some really negative and all you have to do is just drive. You don’t have to listen to those thoughts. As well as the memories. Everybody miss remembers memories sometimes.

How can I deal with False Memory OCD? I am struggling with ruminating thoughts, and trying to figure out false memories! How can I enjoy my day without figuring it out?

Fellow False memory ocd people
Hi, I’ve had ocd since I was 12 but the hardest theme I’ve ever encountered was false memory ocd and POCD. I’m convinced I’ve molested children and people and it disgusts me to my very core. Is there anyone else going through this? I really need to talk to people who are going through the same thing as me and can share their story because I feel so along in this false memory cycle because it feels like a real memory and I feel like I’m tricking everyone around me into thinking it’s false. Please help
