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

I get this quite a lot. You aren’t alone in this.
