Hey y’all, feel free to have conversations about this. But literally y OCD has been switching all around from false memory OCD to Relationship OCD back to false memory about a different topic. And then it’s like, none of the things I stressed about even happened whether it be false memory or relationship OCD. Just so crazy to me.

@Enoki🫶🏻 No for real. Like my fears just get all so crazy. Like once you separate the fear from the thought, and then you’re like woah. Crazy realization…
@Enoki🫶🏻 You’re able to make logical references which then makes the nonchalant responses easiern
@Enoki🫶🏻 I pray that no one else gets to experience this (even though it will happen:/)
Hi! I feel that is very common with OCD, one day something is the end of the world and the next day it’s no big deal. Biologically speaking, our frontal lobes don’t act the same way as a “non OCD” brain. So there’s many reasons why things don’t make sense or why sometimes we (or atleast I) feel crazy. It’s like once you get over one topic another arises, I like to think of OCD as a flee inside my brain constantly trying to destroy the things that make me happiest or peace. Finding peace in one way will trigger the “flee” to start a fire somewhere else. In reality, OCD is our brains working against us even if it has good intention. In saying that, just know you’re not alone, and being aware of what’s going on can sometimes make it easier or harder. Easier in the sense that at least we understand it but harder because even understanding it, doesn’t make it any less stressful. I don’t even know where I am going with this, just know you’re not alone!
@Charmander5 Thank you, because sometimes it lashes onto the next thing, and because it’s new it’s SCARY!!! Like what if this is TRUE?!
@Charmander5 And then trying to ignore it, it makes you feel even worse because it’s like “am I a bad person for choosing not to be certain about this???”
@JulioKelle Truly! I think OCD is one of the most “intelligent” mental illnesses’….its so sneaky and knows exactly what to say or show to make it worse. We just gotta stay strong ignore ignore ignore. Currently wanting to ask my partner assurance on something but I know it will only make things worse so ignore ignore ignore. We should have a reminder every minute on our phones that dings that lol
@Charmander5 I know! But honestly I look back at posts and screenshot them! Also having conversations that are like, “oh yeah no… this is normal” when it does NOT feel that way at all.
@JulioKelle I genuinely think OCD brains are a different breed….like I hate OCD and what it does to me and my life but it’s so interesting if you really think about it.
@Charmander5 No completely. Like the fact that I’ve accomplished so much and yet I have such a poor relationship with myself it’s kinda crazy😭. Like it’s crazy how high functioning OCD brains are.
im going to be vague here, but basically i did something in the past that i regret and it became a huge point of my OCD but i have talked to my therapist and i have mostly moved past it. i watched a video by an OCD youtuber that really put it into perspective. anyway, i have been with minimal worry for a few days, but now im having worries related to i think false memory? basically it’s like “oh but what if i said/ did this and just forgot that means i harmed this person im a bad person”. to me it sounds like textbook OCD but im just wondering if anyone else has experienced false memory / real event at the same time. i have a really horrible memory which is making it even more stressful. any responses are appreciated!
Hi everyone!! This is a new kind of theme I’m dealing with. My brain will come up with false memories of my boyfriend saying awful things about my family or me…deep down I know it’s not real. The more I think about it though, the more real these “memories” feel. How do I deal?
Hey everyone, I’m still struggling a bit with false memory ocd. Mine revolves around my relationship. There are some things I have remembered that occurred early on in the relationship, whether someone texted me on Snapchat or TikTok etc. and it was old friends of mine from a friend group. In the friend group it was me and about couple guys and girls. I remember there being an instance where one of the guys had messaged me on Snapchat after I had posted something about a tv show or I had posted a picture of me and my mom and they reached out to me saying something and I honestly can’t remember at all what they had said to me but I’m pretty sure i remember I responded with “Lol” or “Thank you” , and I think the reason I’m really struggling right now is that I can’t remember hardly anything about the text at all. And of course, my ocd is trying to convince me that it was either a flirty chat, or something else. I also want to mention that I unadded a lot of people off my snap, mostly guys on TikTok etc after dating my boyfriend because I felt like that was respectful. And even after doing that, my OCD was trying to convince me that I un added them because I was hiding something or I was on adding them because I didn’t want my boyfriend to see that they were on my Snapchat, which was not the case at all. I think I’m just really struggling because I think about past events that have happened in my mind is trying to convince me that something else happened, rather than allowing me to remember what actually went on. I just wanted to come on here and ask if anyone else struggles with something like this because it’s been really bothering me the past couple days and I know I would never do anything to hurt my boyfriend because I love him so much it’s just I freak out constantly, and it bothers me a lot.
