Real events!!!
Does anyone else get memories suddenly from years ago that goes along with your ocd theme at the current moment and you are shocked how you forgot such a bad memory for years?

I do get random memories from months or years ago that my OCD uses to prove what it says is right. I have SO-OCD and for example my brain keeps reminding me of random boys I found somehow attractive in the past. I guess our brain forgot about it as it wasn't relevant at all at the moment and idk how OCD is powerful enough to dig it all up ☠️. It's a fucking nightmare isn't? 😃
@Alice1837 Yes
@Alice1837 Omgggg same! Literally for me it can feel like humiliation/degradation (severe intrusiveness). I’ve learn to let it happen and remind myself no one’s perfect, and nothing to feel ashamed about of keep growing 🌻
Our brain needs to store memories somewhere, much like a computer. However, it has limited space for storing these experiences. So, what does the brain do? It performs a kind of "garbage collection" each day. It sifts through old and dusty boxes of memories, opens them to see what's inside (which explains why forgotten memories sometimes resurface), and then clears out space for new information
Especially those who have Transgender ocd
Yeah I had this all the time, like I got a memory of me staring at dudes boddy parts and I'm like, but how could I forget that, or I get a memory that I was into a dude, that I didn' even recall existed and I'm like, how could I feel that and then just forget about i
@Nicolas:) But yours are false wether mine are real
@Nicolas:) I had memories supports the tocd theme
I get this quite a lot. You aren’t alone in this.
I don’t know how to deal with the thoughts that come and barely gone. Usually, the brain often remembers and forgets things. People with OCD however struggle with trying to forget the intrusive thoughts because of the imbalance trying to convey what is real and if the thoughts in your head will come true. Just for the past few days, I was having fun and suddenly hit with a wave of obsessive thoughts and making me stuck with nowhere to go.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?
17f I have a lot of events, but my main and my worst one which is absolutely fucking diabolical was done when I was 14 and repeated when I was 16. Everytime I post something about real event ocd here people are like you are probably didn't do anything that bad, and when they hear what I did they are like yeah that's bad. Someone even asked me if I'm autistic cause "it's crazy how you didn't realize that the thing ypu were doing was wrong at this age." And I kinda agree, like it's fucked up It's just that my event is bad. Doesn't mean I don't have real event ocd. You can have a reocd over the event that was bad, it doesn't mean the event wasn't that bad or you don't have recod. It's just people always expect it to be something innocent and it's not Even a healthy person would feel guilty over it, it's just that I had ocd my whole life and it's making the guilt absolutely destructive, like to the point when I sometimes have a hard time breathing when I think about it, I lost more than a year of life to it, almost checked myself out couple of times if I wasn't so scared of pain/failure, the event haunts me in my dreams, it's in my head 24/7 and I will never able to forgive myself. That ocd. But the event itself was bad. So maybe i deserve it.
