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.

False Memories
I have been on this app and on treatment for almost a year now, and I am recovering, but I have recently started experiencing false memories- I feel like it’s my OCD trying to interfere more now that I am unbothered by my symptoms. Recently I have been having moments where I wonder if I had said something terrible to someone or if I committed an act, it feels so real but it’s never as vivid as a real memory. It’s like trying to remember a dream. It is okay, I know I wouldn’t have done any of those things.
