I hade a intrusive thought when I was half asleep but I can’t remember what it was and I feel like I’m trying to know what it was so I don’t feel like a bad person incase it was something bad because sometimes there really intense any tips to stop trying to find out what it would be

this used to happen to me all the time when i was half asleep and a quick intrusive thoughts used to go through my mind but then i fall asleep and can't remember what the thought was in the morning. so , my andice is to start over. tell yourself "it probably isn't that important, if it was i would've remembered". try to just continue with your day while reminding yourself that even if the thought was bad it doesn't matter because it's not you that made it up - it's your ocd.

Thankyou it just makes me feel like I’m going crazy because I then think we’ll did I actually think that or was it a thought and my questions go on but I’ll try it Thankyou

yeah i completely understand you, it sucks. but yeah keep fighting and don't give onto those thought- they're not real.

Omg this happens to me so much. A large part of my ocd is false memories and my compulsion is rumination and one time before bed I was halfway asleep and I think I had a thought thinking back and thought “oh no what if that memory was about (past false memory)” and. I woke up the next morning and couldn’t remember what it was and I was dying to remember because what if I NEED TO. Anyways you are not alone. Basically, it’s just a form of checking/ compulsion to try and remember our thoughts when in reality it’s a futile search. We don’t need to!

Thankyou

Thankyou for the advice
