What exactly would be considered false memory ocd? Would like let’s say, I was eating an apple at dinner the other night but I can’t remember if it was an apple for sure but my brain is saying “maybe it was a carrot” weird example but is that considered false memory ocd, bassicly then I can’t remember if it was really and apple or carrot??

Basically i think thats it... Like i’ll have a normal memory then my ocd convinces me that, while all the facts remain the same, my motivations were bad or i am misremembering how i felt about it

Like what slaying the dragon said. For me I had a memory at work pop up into my head a few years later, but when it came into my head I had doubt on if I should've done it or shouldn't have done it. In the end it drove me nuts for years. I often find that false memory combines with real event which comes with your core fears. So I have perfectionism/scrupulousity so for me the false memory combines with the real event to second guess my motives. Not sure if that helped or made it more confusing :-)

It sucks because I heard that anxiety and depression make memory even less reliable than it already is. So false memory OCD is a real pain to deal with.

It's worse when someone is aware of this and uses it to their advantage and then you have no idea anymore

Mine have been about my intentions a LOT of times, I've also gotten them very easily from other people's suggestions because I really doubt my own memory and perspective all the time, so other people's thoughts just seem more reliable, I get ideas in my head or question something then I get image flashes of a scenario with it and they feel really real and make me feel sick basically and I can't stop thinking about them or looking for clues to tell me whether it's true. Didn't realise for years that this can be OCD. Plus like a billion times when I have told a lie (e.g. that I did my homework but forgot it, or codependent stuff like saying I like the same thing as someone else, or have had the same experience as them) I then start questioning whether I said the lie because it's actually true. Even when I think I remember my original motivation for a lie like that and it makes sense, the doubt stays and it's like I can imagine both of them and they feel the same.
