Real events!!!
Does anyone else get memories suddenly from years ago that goes along with your ocd theme at the current moment and you are shocked how you forgot such a bad memory for years?

I do get random memories from months or years ago that my OCD uses to prove what it says is right. I have SO-OCD and for example my brain keeps reminding me of random boys I found somehow attractive in the past. I guess our brain forgot about it as it wasn't relevant at all at the moment and idk how OCD is powerful enough to dig it all up ☠️. It's a fucking nightmare isn't? 😃

@Alice1837 Omgggg same! Literally for me it can feel like humiliation/degradation (severe intrusiveness). I’ve learn to let it happen and remind myself no one’s perfect, and nothing to feel ashamed about of keep growing 🌻

Our brain needs to store memories somewhere, much like a computer. However, it has limited space for storing these experiences. So, what does the brain do? It performs a kind of "garbage collection" each day. It sifts through old and dusty boxes of memories, opens them to see what's inside (which explains why forgotten memories sometimes resurface), and then clears out space for new information

Yeah I had this all the time, like I got a memory of me staring at dudes boddy parts and I'm like, but how could I forget that, or I get a memory that I was into a dude, that I didn' even recall existed and I'm like, how could I feel that and then just forget about i

False Memories
I have been on this app and on treatment for almost a year now, and I am recovering, but I have recently started experiencing false memories- I feel like it’s my OCD trying to interfere more now that I am unbothered by my symptoms. Recently I have been having moments where I wonder if I had said something terrible to someone or if I committed an act, it feels so real but it’s never as vivid as a real memory. It’s like trying to remember a dream. It is okay, I know I wouldn’t have done any of those things.

Past events - confusion
Do any of you mix up dates and sometimes find that you stress if you did something whilst in a relationship which would result in you being a cheater I remember something from 6 years ago but my brain is saying it was 5 years ago or potentially overlapping when i met my now boyfriend but its not true, im sure of it - but the ocd wont let me be sure…. Hate this!! Anyone relate?

Real Event Ocd
Hi there I talk about religion (but I'm not trying to force it down anyone's throat) So my main event (which is the one that truly bothers me) happened in 2015 when I was 14. I won't go into any details or anything. I will say that it got so bad once that I almost committed something detrimental to my health earlier this year. Not long after that I spoke to a doctor and basically confessed what's been happening to my brain and my mistakes, he mentioned things that really resonated with me, I'll paraphrase a bit: "Okay, so what you did was not good but it's not something to condemn yourself for. It falls into the grey area, you've apologized and have been forgiven (even though I apologized over text, which comes across cowardly)but it seems that you haven't forgiven yourself. There's a whole lot of difference between you at 14 and you at 23. Try to have some perspective." This really helped and it still does, but unfortunately ocd tries to find a way around this. I'll get a thought of "oh but you forgot to mention that other part of the event" and it magnifies it. Can anyone relate? I've done everything but fully move on because I sometimes feel like I don't deserve to move on. And I'm still worried over the future.
