Something on the forum triggered some "memories" for me today. Those "memories" have been a big part of my anxiety these past couple years... but I'm fairly sure they're not real.

Most immediate: I dreamed (I'm fairly sure I dreamed it) that I was molested (almost-raped) during my second year of college. I was drunk that night, so I have no clear memory, but I'm pretty damn sure it did not actually happen.

Secondary: I have no explicit memories, but on multiple occasions my symptoms have prompted people to ask if I was molested as a child. This irks me a little bit.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm pretty damn sure that I was never actually abused... So why do I have these "memories?" Am I just trying too hard to be a victim?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
