I can relate to this so much. My first episode of ocd was false memory ocd it is TERRIFYING. If i reassure you it will just make things worse. But ocd loves to play mindgames. It has terrorizing anxiety on its side and it will win. So dont play.

I just can't live with myself if it is something that I actually happened. And there's no way for me to find out. I don't want to lose everything because of a ocd spiral. But at the same token my boyfriend has every right to leave me if he wants to. This hurts so much

@tiredsoul See your playing the what if game again. If i listened to ocd im a pedophilic child molester murderer who sexually azsaulted her friends anf family. Ocd loves to make shit up. Its like a dramatic bitch, stop giving it attention it shuts.up

@Lucywilefire Thank you. I haven't been able to talk to anybody about this. If I don't listen to it, how do I know if it's true or not? I know that's a stupid question, the possibility of this could be real, and I'd be lying to myself. I'm partially aware that it's spiraling, but what if it's actually real and I'm just trying to lie to myself so I can have everything I want in life. You don't have to answer this, I'm just kind of typing out what's going on in my brain

@tiredsoul Omg its like hearing me talk about ocd. I have a false memory of molesting my sister when i was 14. What makes it worse is hearing about child on child sexual abuse and people who ACTUALLY did it. I spent so much time on that in junior year and it tanked my grades for a bit. You cant answer the question because there is never enough evidence for ocd

@tiredsoul I also struggle with pocd false memory, my ocd says I molested a kid when I was like 13-15 and sometimes it feels so real and convincing and sometimes I’m for sure I didn’t do it, the thing is ocd is a liar and there is no way to know for certain so you have to accept the uncertainty and show yourself kindness. Also refuse to ruminate or do compulsions it enforces the thoughts and makes it so much worse

Any advice? I just got triggered by false memory OCD. There is no indicator or memory of me doing anything bad, only the what if. So how can I deal with uncertainty because if I did do the false memory it would go against my morals?? Not something extremely unforgivable just like not ideal and against my morals… I don’t know if it happened. I have no memory of my false memory happen only the “what if” which is enough to scare me FOR CONTEXT: I was in the mental hospital when I was 16, and made a few friends. Some just a grade below me, so 14-15. I remember bringing up in convo someone I met previously at the mental hospital earlier in that year a different time I was hospitalized , to which a boy responded he knew her, and they did (seggsual) stuff at their school. The girl I was talking about at that time was 14. So im assuming the boy was 14 as well. 13 and up is together in the hospital, so he couldn’t be younger than 13. I have no memories of him flirting with me or me flirting with him. Or anything bad happening. Literally just “what if”.. or what if he wasn’t 14 but 13 and u said something inappropriate or flirted with him. I will never be able to know what happened and I’m sick thinking about this. 13 and 16 is NOT WITHIN MY MORALS. I am worried because the only inappropriate I guess convo had is when he was telling me what happened between him and that girl I knew. I also remember him having a bulge down there and it freaked me out and made me feel weird at the time because I noticed it. (At this time I was already diagnosed with OCD and experienced POCD) I try to tell myself maybe maybe not. But the what if it did happen makes me feel like a p33do, and me thinking it didn’t happen doesn’t satisfy me because I don’t have 100 percent certainty

Worried about situation that happened with nephew new memory or not idk I'm scared Worried about situation that happened with nephew I'm so scared when I was holding my nephew I thought " I wonder if this would sexually stimulate him" ( not the exact words don't want to be extremely graphic) I began to bump him like how people bump babies on their hips he was on my stomach cuz that's how he was handed to me. Now I fear I remember also thinking if his diaper would stimulate his private part or something like that IDK LIKE I FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER THINKING THAT BUT ALSO DON'T??? LIKE O FEEL LIKE maybe I thought this at a different time for whatever weird reason but then I'm scared that it makes sense it would happen when I held him. Does it change the situation?????I feel extremely sick because I don't know why I would think that or if it was my brain or me. Idk if it was or wasn't cuz I felt his diaper against me? Was I curious if it would? It feels like I was curious but wth why???Was it just something weird I thought? Am I actually a monster? I had been having disturbing thoughts I'm pretty sure that were related to my POCD in general for a while before that. Ik my nephew didn't get hurt but I'm so scared why would I do something like that I feel so sick and disgusted. I know away from that situation I have no sexual interest or attraction towards him I'm just so freaked out and disgusted. I don't wanna be a bad person and I don't want my worst fear to be true.

TW! please someone comment When I was 12 or 13 I used to babysit a little girl, she had a habit of keeping her hand in her diaper and was always touching herself, there was one point I was changing her diaper and noticed she was really red. I had separated her private parts and checked the inner area for signs of infection. She was okay, just some really really bad diaper rash. I know this is what happened yet my brain is trying to convince me that I hurt her, and that I wanted to do it, I know I would never hurt a child but with all the anxiety I feel when I think about it I'm starting to wonder if I did do it because I wanted to hurt her, I don't wanna be a p, I don't wanna hurt innocent children, I used to never have these thoughts but now I do and I'm so scared to tell my therapist as she hasn't diagnosed me with ocd yet. I don't want her to think I'm a p nor do I wanna hurt kids, but my brain keeps telling me that I do and that I'm just lying to myself and everyone around me, ik I would never do something that could harm a child but I keep getting these thoughts and their inappropriate and I just want them to stop, does anyone have any tips on how to help myself? I keep turning to my boyfriend for reassurance but ik that that's just a quick fix and that ill be spiraling about it again.Please help
