I don't know if I am, but I frequently feel that I might need to fix something in my head, but I don't remember what it is. It gets me stuck kinda often

@Tea and Honey I know my truth. But ocd keeps making me feel guilty. I don’t know how to deal with this false guilt. I need help. I am not happy.

@aspureasgreen - I often feel guilty, but I can’t pinpoint the reason. Once the guilt fades, new obsessions take over, and the cycle keeps repeating. I rarely feel fortunate maybe less than once a week and only on those rare days does my OCD fall silent.

@hamza20 I am really depressed. Only time I feel good is when I am distracted by something . I am scared of this OCD theme, people misunderstanding me. I need support. I don’t have any at the moment.

@hamza20 - Keeping your mind busy might actually be the healthiest thing for you, my friend. Remember, people will never, ever misunderstand you; I believe that thought itself is just another trick of OCD. For myself, I try to fight this game by focusing more on being social rather than isolating. There are so many wonderful people here who can listen to you, support you, and even share the same feelings you’re going through. I truly believe you can overcome this my faith in you is complete. Obsessive thoughts only tire our minds and hold us back, but we are much stronger than them. And so are you. Please don’t forget that. Stay happy and healthy friendd!!

@hamza20 Thanks for your kind words. But I am not surrounded by people who understand my ocd themes. I can’t seek therapy right now. I hope I get more support from people around me.

I know how you feel. I’m currently dealing with false memory ocd and honestly I feel like I can’t even leave the house. I’m so miserable, replaying all the events in my head, trying to make sense of it.

@Anonymous Hey, how do you deal with fear & guilt? Did you share this ocd theme of yours with anyone? What did they say? I once posted this theme online and one person unfollowed me , as if i was bad. I am not bad.

You’re not bad! I’m honestly not sure how to deal with it but I know communication with trusted individuals can really help. I’m really just in the thick of it right now, to the point where I’m so scared to be anywhere but my apartment. I think it helps knowing we’re not alone though. OCD can be very isolating and can make you feel like you’re the only one in the world who deals with it, but you’re not. I’m actually trying to motivate myself to leave for class right now but it’s so hard. Everything feels like life and death :(

I'm sorry you're going through this. I've struggled with false memory ocd as well. It feels like I can never trust or rely on myself or my memories and I'm constantly fighting the thoughts telling me I've done something wrong or horrible, I feel like I can't ever just give myself the benefit of the doubt. I'm sorry youre going through false memory ocd, but it's reassuring that we're not alone in this. We're people who can get through this. Something that has helped me (very small and might seem obvious) is practicing saying kind things to myself before bed and in the morning. I tell myself I love me no matter what. I tell myself whether I'm good or bad or whatever my past is, I love myself. No matter who you are and what your past looks like, you deserve to show yourself love. You're more than your thoughts, you're more than the "what ifs," and you're more than your ocd. Sending you wellness, friend.

Question about false memories, please help
Can it feel like you literally remember a false memory happening? And it feels like the memory has always been there and you vividly remember it happening that way? Because I don’t even know if I’m experiencing a false memory or not but god it feels so fucking real. Like I literally remember it happening. But what’s weird is the original memory was kind of different. 2 years later, the memory is not the same, but it feels like I literally remember it happening. And in this memory, I’m fucking snapping. I’m acting on my thoughts. I feel like a fucking psycho. I hope this is just OCD

Hello. I’m new here.
I experience crippling, debilitating false memory OCD. It started with a “what if” thought 6 days ago and has spiraled into a never ending loop. My mind is telling me that “maybe you did this terrible, awful, unforgivable thing years ago and you don’t remember it and it’s only a matter of time before it catches up to you and your life is over” I’m really needing some coping mechanisms and support. I’m really scared and my body is exhausted. I just want it to stop. It is full panic attack all day, every day. Please if anyone can relate or help me.
