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!

I’m wondering if anyone has any insight or tips
So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight

Can someone please help. I’m struggling.
I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?

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
