I am a new member to this forum and am grateful that this site exists. I have a few disconcerting questions regarding an upcoming polygraph for entrance into a local police academy. I have been unofficially (by neurologist) diagnosed with OCD (thought based, not physical manifestations) and I have extremely rare cases where I form an obsession and compulsion to a particular bothersome thought. This leads me to my question. I have a particular question that I know will be asked of me that I have formed an obsession and compulsion too and it has caused me to not be able to remember it (even though im 99% sure I didnt do it and 100% I would never do it...if that makes sense). I try to recreate the thought in attempts to remember it away but I cant. This is very bothersome to me and I wonder if I should take my chances and explain this, contrary to it sounding like a blatant lie, or should I just say no and hope for the best? Or ask if they could word the question so that I could answer yes or no regarding me "not knowing"? Your thoughts?
