I have dwelt on it so much that I have began to doubt other things that I have done. I see this 'memory' from all different angles and my brain can't settle on any one conclusion about it. I keep trying to tell myself it's just an intrusive thought and not a real memory but that only works sometimes. I'm hoping that seeing the therapist will help. Thank you again.

I understand that it feels real. For me, if it didn't feel real, why would I be crying and getting extremely anxious? It feels real, but also unrealistic at the same time. It's really confusing.
About a year about, a lot of my memories seemed to be mixed with dream memories with me tweaking what happened to the point I still don't know which memory is real. I gave up. But don't do that. Hope you get a therapist soon [emoji3].
