There is hope! You’re brain unfortunately likes to remind you over and over what you’re afraid of. You as well as I, have a fear of losing our minds. Our brain try’s to protects us in a weird way so it shows us thoughts and feelings we don’t like. It’s so frustrating and tiring. I’m going through a bad spike myself at the moment it’s hard to realize that it’s OCD. My mind tricks me into thinking it’s worse. Just know this too will pass. You will fill like yourself you just have to get the anxiety to calm down. Easier said then done I for sure know. Sending you positive thoughts?. We can get through it together.

I can so relate to this. it’s so tough to be able to tell what thoughts are actually real and what are not like when I was struggling really really bad a while back, I just felt like I needed to be locked up to be right about something. It’s so scary but you’re so strong and we all got each other. we’re not alone and we just gotta keep fighting for the life we deserve and not the one OCD wants us to live

I'm on an atypical antipsychotic and I still have all of the same thoughts, I'm just not manic. There is no hope.

I am so scared and alone.
Hi everyone. So recently I have been feeling so scared and paranoid of going crazy. I am terrified of i will go crazy and turn schizo. I’m so hyper aware of everything. My mind convinces me that I will end up like this but I really don’t want to.It’s my biggest fear and I think abt it almost everyday and I can’t handle it anymore. I just want to be ok. I have told my parents this and they say it’s all in my head and just laugh at me. I know it’s in my head but I physically feel sick to my stomach being constantly scared. Please someone help me please please. Thank you.

Why?
They’re getting more intense.. My mind wonders if what i’m feeling is really OCD.. what if it’s not and i’m in denial? Why is my life like this, a constant loop of fears and stress holding me back. I just want to live. To be the kind boy everyone knows. To make and be a difference. There’s sometimes I wish I could stay asleep.. to rest for a while. To hibernate all these feelings away. But I know that’s not how it works. Each tear I shed is a reminder of the hell I live every day when I open my eyes. I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know why I am anymore. Please someone.. advice, words of positivity, something.. I feel so alone. I’m scared. I don’t know where else to go.

I just don't know
I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
