Does anyone ever have moments where your brain convinces you that you've done something that you haven't? (Example: it makes you think you touched something dirty even though you know for SURE that you didn't. But you have to go wash your hands anyway just in case)

But then it also convinces me that I did not do something that I definitely did do. Then I have to recheck what I did a bunch of times.

Contamination OCD

"Pure" OCD

This sounds like false memory to me. This is exactly what I’m dealing with now. Except mine is dealing with if I touched a toddler inappropriately or not in my youth.. I have NO memory of it happening, but my brain is convincing me that I did it. And it even put images in my head now it seems so real:(
