False Memory OCD is the subtype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) which I struggled with the most before I recovered. In many ways, it was even harder to deal with than relationship ocd or hocd. I often felt guilty or like I'd done something wrong. Thankfully I am recovered now and this video will explore some of the techniques which helped me get there.

False memory OCD can cover a variety of topics, some particularly distressing like assault, infidelity or murder with sufferers seeking constant evidence that their memory is false and chasing an impossible feeling of certainty. This is why the right mental health awareness around this topic is vital so that sufferers can be more understood.

OCD sufferers can often struggle to let memories of the past go. It can help to begin to engage with the idea that there is no absolute truth and to view false memory OCD or real event OCD (as it is sometimes referred to) as an addiction to feeling certain.
