yes. the more you try to remember something, the more details you create. you start to get confuse with what’s real and what’s false. that’s what makes it so brutal to deal with.

I've been fixated on a thought I remember acting on, but at the same time I also tried to avoid anything that would make me think I acted on said thoughts. This has been bothering me for months now.

@Miserable i know how time consuming it is. it’s a constant back and forth battle. my advice to you is to try to stop thinking. i know it’s impossible, but the more we go back and try to put the pieces together, our memories get so chaotic and out of place. it only makes it worse. i’m going through false memories everyday. i have been for the past month so i know how extremely stressful it is.

Hey all, I've been okay for a while, but today I'm having a hard time with my sexually-themed false memory thoughts and the compulsion to try and "figure it out". While I've learned enough over time that "figuring it out" doesn't work, I'm just feeling extra overwhelmed today. Stuff that happened over 7 years ago is really getting to me, I'm in this limbo state just sitting here with it all but... ...anyone have any general tips for false-memory OCD?

Does anyone else’s false memory intrusive thoughts of what could have happened feel very, very real?

Can it feel like you literally remember a false memory happening? And it feels like the memory has always been there and you vividly remember it happening that way? Because I don’t even know if I’m experiencing a false memory or not but god it feels so fucking real. Like I literally remember it happening. But what’s weird is the original memory was kind of different. 2 years later, the memory is not the same, but it feels like I literally remember it happening. And in this memory, I’m fucking snapping. I’m acting on my thoughts. I feel like a fucking psycho. I hope this is just OCD
