I had to quit my job because i got thoughts and false memories that i wrote down violent threats about my workplace on papers and signed my name signature on the threats and put it in the desk drawers and when they would find it i would get locked up for the threats, i am now on 350mg zoloft and 2mg twice daily Risperidone, my therapist told me to say those thoughts are not me

The problem it feels very real

@falsememoryharmocd Yup, that's the point of ocd, it has to feel real, but that doesn't mean that is true, remember "feelings don't mean the whole truth"

@Seventeen So the solution is i have to continue to ignore the thoughts?

@falsememoryharmocd Not ignoring them, just accepting their presence and accepting uncertainty, its the best way

@Seventeen Will the fear and guilt symptoms get less strong over time?

@falsememoryharmocd For me it did, for other people it didn't, recovery doesn't mean the non-existent of feelings, sensations of thoughts that you don't like, it means that you have all of those feelings and its ok to have them but that doesn't mean the truth.

@Seventeen Yeah i will keep you updated with my ocd

@falsememoryharmocd Yeah please keep me updated, we are here for you, i was like you a few months ago, I understand your pain.

@Seventeen Thanks for being here with me
