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.

@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.

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?

I can’t I feel like I’m stuck
I did post about this the other day, but I’m just genuinely worried like this happened many years ago and I can’t really remember exactly what I said, but I have a feeling like I said something really mean and I think I lashed out on a person like a stranger cause I don’t know I was probably going through something and I’m afraid that like it was so bad it caused them to hurt themselves and now I keep thinking like what if the police are secretly looking for me because the harm caused, even though I have no evidence of any of this, but even this Happened like a deca ago, it still haunts me like I really hope that the person is OK and I constantly like keep reviewing like their conversation over and over again like in my mind like I genuinely feel like a bad person maybe even a criminal 😃
