i started suffering from rape intrusive thoughts since my birthday this year, when my dad, to reposition himself on the couch, accidentally groped my thigh. it’s no big deal, it was on accident, but ever since my intrusive thoughts have been about my father raping me. he would absolutely not do that, he doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. but it has gotten as far as creating “fake memories”. like today, i had a thought about a young me saying “no” over and over as he raped me, and i convinced myself that it happened. i’m scared that it was actually a repressed memory that suddenly came back, even tho i don’t think it really happened. has anyone lived something similar?

Sometimes I feel the same way, creating false memories from overthinking. But deep down, you know it happened because you were thinking so much about it, that you created some "false memories".
This is big, you would have remembered that kind of event, it wouldn't just pop up in your head.
I hope everything will get better for you!
