It's a challenge, but just sitting with the urge to review and not reviewing. Learning to sit with the thought itself as well as "maybe it happened. Maybe it didn't."

Remind yourself that if u didn’t rmemeber it then, it’s not important enough to remember now

What do you mean? For me i had thought of something from the past and was so anxious and then i was unsure if it really happened like that and now i feel like i need to review

I actually disagree with this- at least based on my own personal experience because it didn’t work for me. I have found that to be a form of self reassurance. Because then it just leads to but WHAT IF I really just didn’t remember until now. I have learned that I HAVE TO accept that they very worst case scenario may have occurred and I have to live with it and choose to love myself unconditionally anyway.

Help!
How can I deal with False Memory OCD? I am struggling with ruminating thoughts, and trying to figure out false memories! How can I enjoy my day without figuring it out?

false memory or repressed memory?
How do you know the difference :( I genuinely cannot keep living in this torment. it all started with an ‘intrusive thought’ where I had like a hazy flash of something reading an article. and I remember thinking ‘what if’ and ‘what is this’ and then that intrusive thought turned into me ‘remembering’ something else. which caused me panic. then I started trying to find evidence because it contradicted what I remembered this entire time. this was last year in like september. fast forward to march this year, it came back up- but this time stronger and with more ‘details’ and what nots. and I’ve been ruminating on it since then trying to remember and connect and It’s like I’ve added all of these details. but are they real? or is this just my OCD? I just feel like if it were real I would have never been able to keep it to myself. but also what if it was so traumatic that I blocked it out? because it all makes NO sense for me to do something like that. but it also fits what I was thinking at the time. idk
