Hello y'all ;) When and under what circumstances did your false memory pop up? Did it present as a photo or like a movie tape etc? I am just curious and trying to find a way to distance myself from this image.
most false memories I have are weirdly in third person like im watching it on a video š¤ I usually am able to decipher as the memories are illogical, but sometimes it is difficult
I view my intrusive thoughts in first person, they are like a quick flashing image that is always really disturbing. I then later build the story through rumination / trying to figure it out.
It's the same with me :( and do they arise in an anxious state?

And when did they pop up, how can you say they are false?
@Mayla123 You canāt. We just have to accept that weāll never remember things clearly. Thatās the fun part lol!
@Zahra991 Really this gives me hope
@Zahra991 I can not live with the thoughts being true..
@Mayla123 The image... i mean it arose when I was in an anxious state but anyway..
@Zahra991 It wasnt what if.. well after the image it was a what if.. but the picture/image was in my head
I experienced the worst as a picture :(
They are so so annoying because the more you use logic to prove them wrong and argue with them the more real they feel and then you get stuck like I am now š«
I saw a meme, my ocd ran with it.
@Anonymousee My false memories add in, but I canāt see faces, itās very blurry like a dream. I canāt physically touch it in my head. Itās like a cloudy figment. Thatās how my OCD shows up as memories, real memories have senses. Smell, touch, sight.
Has false memory OCD affected you so badly that you feel that a lot of your memories period are unclear, vague, fuzzy and canāt recall correctly?
Same theme of harming my family member in a similar way the details what I said and what was shown to them and the environment around me but thatās all I can get itās hard to focus on the environment only what I said and what I did. This memory keeps coming up and leaving its instant. They seem to be ok the one in question I also donāt have a timeline if I harmed them no timeline like I did it this time or I donāt remember. I donāt rmemenr actually ever doing this. I felt like a creep because this woman days ago made me feel like one I internalized that and now my mind has been picking up thoughts or āmemoriesā of harming my family member but I canāt ever rmemenr doing anything like that plus the dream or āmemoryā when I had it was in another state years ago but it only came up now.
can a false memory feel very very very real? because i literally donāt know if something happened or not. absolutely no clue but it feels so real
