Totally, except feeling like my old life was fake, I feel more as that I cant remember the person I used to be, It all seems unfamiliar and diferent. Ive been like this for many months. Its some form of dissociation. Its a scary feeling

oh i also can't remember some chunks of my past. i find it hard to navigate my life now and make the right decisions since i can't remember how i became the person i am today. and it's also scaring me to feel this uneasy

@anon333 I understand, Ive been very blank in regards to my identity lately just dont know who or what I am and where Im going or who I was before, its sort of hard to describe. Kinda just crusing through rn except its very negative and anxiety driven

So, if I'm retelling a story or relaying information to someone, after I'm done speaking, my brain will send me thoughts like, "What if you lied? You might have told the story wrong! You're lying!" I've started second-guessing myself, even when I know I'm not lying or telling the story wrong😭 This has also bled into twisting my intentions behind certain actions... For example, the other day, I'd been babysitting my younger brothers. I'd gone to use the restroom and thought, "What if the door isn't locked or closed all the way?" Because this has happened once in the past. Turns out, it didn't lock correctly, and one of my little brothers almost walked in on me, but luckily, I shut the door in time, and we laughed it off. But then, I kept getting thoughts like, "You knew that would happen, and you didn't double-check! You wanted that to happen and for him to walk in!" :( I know this isn't true, but it's so annoying! Has anyone dealt with this? If you have, do you have any advice on how to deal with these thoughts?

I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??
