i need help. how do i live if i don’t know for sure if i did something or not? it’s something i would never ever do. but what if i did and i don’t remember ??? i feel sick and guilty it’s been days

You need to sit with the uncertainty. Saying maybe, maybe not has helped me. I also like to tell the ocd you’re right I am wrong but oh well.

I deal with this. My false memories are very vivid but feel like nightmares. It’s very difficult but I’m surviving it and sometimes that’s all you can ask of yourself.

how do you know that it’s ocd and you didn’t actually do it? like if i knew for certain it was ocd i can do what everyone is saying and live with the uncertainty. but how do i know

@mbr Yea I guess I don’t know for certain. I also have to live with the uncertainty. I suspect it is ocd because I’ve had pretty severe ocd about other things before as well as false memories that proved to be untrue. But this current one that I’m dealing with sometimes feels like literal torture. It’s very hard but I’m surviving it.

@LizardLady95 ugh. i’m sorry ur going through this too. that makes sense, i’m the same. we got this

Yea it’s good to know we are not alone! If you ever wanna talk please reach out. Just knowing there are people like me has made me feel hopeful.
