What you're experiencing is depersonalization and derealization which is not a symptom of psycosis... but can be very disturbing... I know! Delusions and hallucinations is the hallmark of psycosis aswell as word salad, unorganized thinking etc... like with schizophrenia. Although psycosis can be experienced on it's own without having schiz. I had episodes of it... and eventhough I knew what was happening I struggled to shake it. What do you mean specifically with telling someone something?

Yeah not so much of a feeling but it’s like I feel the world isn’t real that my whole life isn’t real and that someone on the outside is controlling things

Sometimes I feel weird and I focus too much on it because of my OCD and it gets worse. I’m OCDing on that feeling. If you feel you need to call your dr if it’s not ocd please do that.?

I don't really think psycosis is a feeling, can you describe what you are feeling?

It's actually quite normal for people with ocd and a super busy mind to say something and forget what they said or someone saying you said something and you can't remember... it happens, just keep an eye out for if it get's worse.

Yes for example I told my mom of what I hallucinated and how I felt. The next day (today) in the morning I was freaking out and she told me no it’s not real and then I told her what and she said the thing about robot. I had told her I hallucinated an office in my head I described it as robotic but I don’t recall telling her that. When I told her I don’t remember telling her she told me that she must’ve misunderstood ☹️ which only got me more paranoid.

I feel like there’s no way out of this. everyday i’m anxious and depressed from these thoughts. i feel like i have to constantly question if it’s OCD or not. the panic attacks are insane and i freak out. and a compulsion i have is looking eveything up on the internet when im stressing to know that it’s just my OCD and im not in danger. but looking things up add on to my thoughts and i start thinking “what if” actual suidcal people think. do others with this theme whenever they do something like if im taking a picture it’ll be like “yeah you look happy people will wonder what happened when your gone” LIKE i DO NOT want to end my life. or even as simple as cleaning my room, “yup keep it clean so when your family goes through your stuff” then i panic and can’t even do anything. those thoughts distress me so bad. i’ll sit there and think how good my life is or when im having a good day my thoughts will be like “NOPEEE what if your just saying that to convince yourself” it never shuts up and genuinely makes me think i have SI or something. i hope this reaches the right people just to know im not alone. Even when i do get better in the back of my mind it’s always “people who want to are the same a day before too” im genuinely scared and im scared one day im going to just snap and do it because its “too much” do i need to go to a mental hospital! i feel insane.

I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
