Thank you, I guess my false memories fall under being scared I may have touched someone inappropriately when I was younger or did even worse things. I really don’t remember anything or even thinking about this stuff or acting like that. So I’ll try to trust it’s just the OCD

@JP2323 I sincerely hope not, it’s just since I have done gross things in the past and have seen gross stuff, I’m scared I am and that my brain is suppressing a memory. But I hear that’s incredibly common with OCD

I don’t sadly, I know I’ve done a lot of bad and gross things that I’ve confessed to my friends, mom, therapist and even the suicide prevention hotline. They all tell me that I’m not a monster and that I’ve learned and can be better, and my therapist said she’s obligated to report real crimes and that she doesn’t feel any worry from what I’ve done so that’s good, but it’s just that little “what if” I suppose, my brain twists memories to be far worse than what they actually were

I am so scared of everything .Of my thoughts.If I am a good person.Years ago I didnt help a kid who was in danger.Since then I started to have terrible thoughts :( i am so terrified.I still have these thoughts and I am scared it means something about me .I really dont want to hurt anyone and I want to help that kid now but idk how I can now.Also I am scared I betray everyone.I still have terrible thoughts and when I am with someone I care is worse...idk why.For example I started to talk with a collegue and he is really nice to me.I told him some things abt me( not the intrusive thoughts) and he was supportive.I have no idea if I will tell anyone abt my thoughts..and bcs of that I feel like I lie to them and betray them.I really want to enjoy my life and be happy and support people( especially because I didnt help that kid then).I want to live up to my morals now but I feel like I lie and manipulate people bcs I am a monster.Is this normal? To feel this way? What can I do? What if I am my worst fear and just cant accept it?!

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 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 😃
