I’m pretty sure I have false memory OCD on to op ZOCD and POCD. I’ve had a few memories recently that I don’t know if certain parts in them were true or not, they feel real but deep down I don’t know and it makes me anxious. Anyone with false memory have any tips?

Your brain tends to fabricate details that confirm your fears. It will always run with the would ifs and worst case scenarios and the more you try to remember the more details that mirror your fears will present themselves. I struggle with false memory/real event ocd and I remember things way inaccurately. Ocd has a field day with these themes. We already have an overactive imagination, so it loves to hide in the grey areas and play up our doubts. You’re never going to remember what happened.

I’m not sure about tips but it can happen. I’m very paranoid about ages and who I find “good looking/cute/attractive” in a sense of actually finding them attractive. And I remember I saw this guys at Downtown Disney. And a few day later I remembered “omg I called that boy cute looking and idek what age he was! I told my friend I as a cute boy and what if he was a 10 yr old.” So I went back to the message I Sent. And I never said that. I just said I was really paranoid. But my brain changed it and made me remember something else.

Yeahhh I remember playing life simulator games and making some of my characters lesbians and I’m so scared 😭
