Hi thanks for the response!We've talked about letting my thoughts go and not trying to challenge them. I think the problem might be is that I'm too embarrassed to go into specifics of my thoughts and worries as it's so difficult for me to talk about. I am taking escitalopram 20 mg but it hasn't helped tbh, are you taking anything?

Hi all, My first time ever posting on something like this! Had 6 more or less ocd free years before I relapsed in April, which have probably been the toughest months of my life. I suffer from false memory/ rumination OCD, where I mistake an intrusive thought for a memory, normally of me causing harm. I know these memories are false but they worry me as if they were 100% true, the guilt is horrible and unfair! I am currently receiving CBT but it doesn't seem to be helping that much unfortunately! Any advice anyone could offer, I know stop ruminating is the big one but it's just so damned difficult! Probably at my lowest point with the disease right now. Thanks
