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 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

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

how to deal with real event + false memory??
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!

False memory/ real event
I struggle with looking back at a past social media interaction and thinking catastrophically. It’s the worst because I’ve deleted my account and can’t go back and check.. which of course my OCD wants to do. It gets to the point where I’m scared something is going to come out and I’ll get arrested one day. It’s so scary! I feel like I don’t know what’s real and what’s not anymore.
