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.

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!

Scared I acted on my thoughts while out of it
I woke up disassociating really bad ,I was super tired and if you read my prev post I've been having problems w depersonalization after a bad thc trip the other night. Im so so so scared I just said a slur or whispered it to myself because I cant properly remember things rn. I remember getting the thought and im scared i whispered it to myself and I cant tell if it happened or not bc waking up things feel rly blurry . It feels really real. I would never want to say such a word and im scared i did bc I was so out of it. I dont remember if i just had the thought or acted on it

Help pls
I’m half asleep and I went to grab my pet and I had intrusive thought about grabbing them hard or I should try to I can’t remember it happened too fast and when I grabbed my pet I instinctively grabbed harder like it wasn’t on purpose it just happened I guess cause I was having the thought at the same time as I went to do the action I don’t know. Like because my brain said grab harder I just subconsciously did because my brain said it idk I’m confused. Is this from OCD?

Vent
Hate those times where you can decipher if it’s false memories or real. My theme is Pocd and I Cosleep with my son and ocd really loves to mess with that. My brain is spinning and trying to spiral into me thinking I touch my little one inappropriately in my sleep. This little image that keeps replaying is me turned towards him but my hand was on his thigh and I do believe he was in his side. And I remember I grabbed the blanket but for some reason I feel as if I grabbed or felt the blanket where it was folded. (Not sure if I was trying to fully cover him back because the pass couple nights he was tangled up in the blanket) I don’t remember what happed after that because I went back to sleep. But that little part I want to be certain I was messing with the blanket and not inappropriately touching my son. I mean can you touch someone inappropriately while sleeping? I’m sure a “real” pedo would plan something like this right? Like they would go to sleep with that intention. (Which I didn’t) Someone please help
