how do you all deal with intrusive thoughts and the false memories that come along with them?
the way I deal with intrusive thoughts it's separating myself from them, I just think woah that's so not me and try to continue with what I'm doing, I know it's hard tho because I've been where you are now, but it gets easier and easier, just keep going you got this
I still struggle with this. Sometimes I’m unable to for days but eventually I able to talk myself out of it. I walk myself through what actually happened and separate the truth from the false memories I create that make me feel bad
Some advice is to know that thoughts aren’t you and to know that these rumination days won’t last forever. You’ll get through and you’ll be okay.
I’m in an absolutely crippling episode dealing with real event/ false memory. I literally cannot get out of it and it is beyond hell. Can someone please help me with advice? If you have been through this how did you get through?! I’m out of work, the only relief is when I’m sleeping no exaggeration. My husband is being super supportive and Is also taking time off to be with me. Was there a specific medication or any tricks that helped? I’m beyond desperate. Thank you
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
Is a false memory a type of intrusive thought?
