Can OCD make you go crazy or can it just mock symptoms of losing your mind? Weird question I know. I have just been struggling really bad lately and wondering if it’s something more then OCD.

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

When ocd symptoms flare up it can seem that your obsessions are out of your control and make u feel like u r going crazy ... I can relatw

Maybe u will become schizophrenic maybe u won't , u have to live in the present

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?

Most definitely!!!!! As long as we have the kind of support we have right here, there’s nothing we can’t conquer!!! Keep pushing ?
