This is going to sound odd.......

I have had bipolar, ocd, and depression for many years now (to many).

Anyway at times when my ocd was really, really bad it would snow ball out of control and my mind would believe things that weren't true (mostly bad things) now because of this I can't distinguish (even when I feel ok) If something really occured that I did or if it is something my OCD made worse in my head. Like I "feel" like it is a real memory but I know it could also be "false"!! Which is very odd, I know but seems to be true with me. Can anyone else relate to this??

Yes...mine is more completely forgetting conversations - a coworker who had their last day today was good in helping me at work compensate for this.

Sometimes though I think about something and think I've had a conversation with someone, but the conversation never took place - I was just thinking about having the conversation.

Either way it is frustrating...

i get that too i think of something and convince myself it happened without trying. very frustrating at times.

Same here... I forget conversations, people I've met, movies, books, how to do something I've accomplished successfully before, etc., On the other hand, I sometimes remember things that happened in dreams as if they were real. It does help to have someone who can fill in the gaps or give you a reality check.

I wonder why this happens?

I also often dream something and then think that it really occured, or I start to wonder if something that actually happened was just a dream. My T also told me that I seem to have a lot of trouble knowing what's real and what's my imagination. Often the things I dream or make up in my head are just normal everyday stuff that could have occurred but it was really just a thought or a dream, it can be something I'm afraid is going to happen and then I think it happened. hmm does that make sense... anyways I don't think you're odd.

But I know how anoying it can be

It doesn't sound odd to me considering I thought I was the only one who did that and apparently there are more out there that do the same thing as me so it is kind of comforting knowuing I am not the only one.
