Memories of memories

[ConcernedParticipant]

Hi I’ve been getting very worried as I have OCD and now I forget things a few hours after I did them. Usually I have a fantastic memory and can remember everything. But during the last few months I cant focus on the thoughts in my head. I’ll do something and thenhours later cant remember myself doing it. Could this be related to OCD?

You can also find out about support groups on our website. These offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:

If you don’t live in the UK, you can look for groups near you on the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) website. Look in the section “Find Help” and then under “Listing Types”, choose “Support Groups”: https://iocdf.org/
