That's just another way your ocd is going after the things u most desire, your sanity..just take it as a thought and shrug it off put distance between you and your thoughts and u won't respond so negatively to it

Thank you so much for responding. My intrusive thoughts have just been so bizarre. Even more so then normal. I know deep down that they are so irrational but my brain likes to make me question if I could believe it. If that makes sense. Idk. I just feel like I’m gonna lose it any second. I have a huge fear of becoming schizophrenic or losing it. I don’t know why my brain does this. ( not trying to offend anyone who actually has schizophrenia) idk understand why I’m so scared.

Completely understand this!!!! It can certainly make you feel as though you’re going absolutely insane. It’s just the OCD taking on its strongest form. Almost like a villain trying to over take a super hero!! You’re the super hero, everyone believes and knows that you can take down the villain! You got this!!! ☺️

When my ocd and anxiety was terribly bad, I would always feel like I was going insane due to stressing nd not sleeping enough yet always sleeping.

I’m so sorry you guys have to go through this as well. It’s hell but you guys are so strong. It’s so scary when you feel like you’re mind is turning against you. I just feel like I will lose it any second. It’s frustrating because I spend so much time obsessing if I’m losing my mind that I’m not living in the moment. I once read a quote and it said “ worrying doesn’t change the bad thing from happening, you just put yourself through it twice”.(or something like that).It really stuck with me. I logically know that my thoughts are ridiculous but my brain always goes,“ what if you believe it.” “ what if it could happen.” As hard as it is I will push through this. You guys are so strong and we can do this together?

I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.

I know that sounds a bit harsh, but people with OCD think very differently then everyone else and we do strange things. I used to think OCD was just that we overthink to much and have compulsions to fix it, but its kinda alot more than that i realise. Like peoples lives are legit debilitated from this thing. Thats serious and i dont think others realise that. Mabye im concerned too much idk.

I was diagnosed with OCD around the age of 6, subtype- contamination primarily. It calmed down as I got older and I assumed it had gone away, but also didn’t realize it can show up in other ways, and it still had been effecting me which I know now. I’m not 31 and I’ve been in therapy for a year and it’s helped a lot, although I sometimes get thoughts that what if some of the stuff I’m dealing with isn’t ocd and I’m exaggerating. I feel like thoughts will feel sticky and I’ll do certain compulsions but then the thought eventually vanishes if I do it a few times which makes me think maybe it’s not OCD since other people/friends I know would probably do the exact same thing. Not sure if I’m making sense, but I guess my question is if that thought comes up with anyone else? Just being unsure if something you’re doing actually is ocd or not.
