Thanks for sharing this.
I'm not a mental health professional. So I can't say anything authoritative about it. But I suspect this is simply (I say "simply"; but I know it's not really simple) your OCD trying to convince you that you did something you did not. This is a type of OCD that, I believe, is sometimes referred to as: "Pure O". Perhaps you're familiar with the concept? Family therapist, Kati Morton, has a video on her YouTube channel on the subject of Pure O. Here's a link:
