Something’s not right

False Memories

False Memories

I have been experiencing memories which I can't tell are real or dreams. Stuff like conversations and people's faces I will remember in my mind but I don't know if it really happened or not. Even things like remembering that I went to the shops and bought ham for example but then I look in the fridge and there's no ham, it never happened. And remembering about eating something but then I went to the cupboard and it's still sealed and hasn't even been opened. I'm scared and angry. Am I dreaming these things and they seem real? Why can't I tell what's reality and what isn't? I feel like these memories are being planted in my head somehow but why? They aren't even important things but it's worrying me. I don't want to go to sleep and dream. Is there a way to make sure you don't dream? It's really affecting me. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated

Re: False Memories

@Former-Member that sounds like a really tough place to be in with your partner. It would be very hard for lots of reasons to both feel the need to keep things from your partner, and to actually keep things from him. I'm sorry you're feeling like this and going through what you are at the moment.

Being here helps me a lot because I'm often able to share things that I keep from others. There's no shame needed here and no judgement from others required. There's lots of understanding and lots of care though.

Hope today is good for you
