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?

can ocd make you question your mental health?
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, i’ve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and it’s very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? i’ve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normal…. im heartbroken. so many what if’s. did i just ruin my own life?? 💔

OCD telling me I will go crazy
Hello everyone. I often get the feeling that I will go crazy or in a state of permanent suffering. The thought is very persistent and I think is OCD repeating that disturbing thought. If anyone feels the same way. What do you do about it?

fear of losing control??
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.
