i hope someone can relate to this. i feel like i just did something bad and i feared i would do it in the moment. now some minutes later, i can remember me doing it or i don’t know that i’m creating a false memory from thinking so much.

I am dealing with this too!!!!!

it’s the absolute worse! it’s pure agony. it consumes every part of me to the point where i don’t know how to live a normal, happy life. i feel so guilt and ashamed. i want to expose myself and stop myself from not trying to figure it out, but i always fail because it’s too hard to live with the uncertainty. how does it make you feel?

I remember acting on the thought, but I'm not sure if it's because i have replayed the thought so much or if it's completely false.

i don’t want to give you any reassurance, but what i know about false memory is that every time you go back and try to remember exactly what happened, what really truly happen gets foggy. your mind gets confused and starts adding some imaginary details. this is what makes it real. replaying it over and over again fuels the anxiety.

@luna ✨ It sucks so bad. I keep remembering doing something to someone while they were sleeping.

@Miserable @miserable i’m so so sorry you’re going through that. i used to have similar thoughts and it was overbearing. it was such a difficult time in my life when that was my theme. i hope you can try to recover from it and live with peace. i know it’s not easy, but you have the strength to power through it.

Checking your memories will make you more doubtful! I want you to know that that's not necessarily something wrong with you or your brain. Research shows the more we check something, be it a lock or our memory, the less confidence we are in our memory of that thing. <3

Obsessive doubt will do this to you from time to time! Intrusive experiences can come in the form of thoughts, ideas, images, impulses, and feelings - and so much more. So keep in mind that just because we feel something does not necessarily mean that it's true. I know it is so much easier said than done but you've got this.
