A member asked:

Confabulation: Find somebody you can absolutely trust. When you start to have these thoughts and share them with that person. If you truly respect and trust that individual they will not play games with you. Please trust that although you might have bipolar disorder you're not without the capacity to understand the truth of your memories.

Treat the symptom: Concern your self with the false memories in talk therapy. Figure out what kind, how often, how you know they are false and why are you having each one in particular at the time you have it.
