ahh i feel the same way! i had to tip toe around explaininh my intrusive thoughts to different therapists because first off, if they misdiagnosed me and said it to me i’d freak out (my worst nightmare would kind of become true) and i really wanted them to know that in NO WAY did i want to do what the thoughts were about, but they came in a really aggressive way, and much to an extent where to a therapist it couldve sounded like i heard voices. but luckily my therapist knows a lot about ocd and other disorders too, and she told me they’re called (in danish at least) “aggressive intrusive thoughts” which come in, you guessed it, a more aggressive form. like for example in the “do it” form. mainly those thoughts only end up looking like that because you fear that you’ll end up thinking of wanting to act on the images or impulses, and so your brain kinda goes “is this the way the horrible thought would be like?” and then it enters and usually stays around if youre frightened of it.

I have this same fear as well. Anything that you read or hear about it will stick in you mind. I constantly ask myself am I going to act out these thoughts and fight with my inner voice. It’s normal. OCD is a pain in the ass.i have no desire to harm myself or anyone either but my mind constantly says “do it” as well. You never will. The OCD will just torment you. You are going to be ok. Googling stuff about schizophrenia and psychosis has me the most anxious I’ve ever been but that’s just it, it’s only anxiety.

I just got over a bad schizophrenic spike. It really scared me because I would read something online about it and almost tried convincing myself that I was psychotic or schizophrenic. I have definitely had intrusive thoughts that made me feel like it was a voice but I then realized that it was just OCD taking it on because I didn’t want to think it. It’s so frustrating but as soon as you get the anxiety to calm down you realize that it’s just that, anxiety. I’m not trying to reassure you because that’s probably the worst thing you can do because it takes the anxiety away for a little but then it’ll come back but if you were truly psychotic or schizophrenic you probably wouldn’t be scared or worried about it. You would just believe full heartily that there was a voice telling you to do things. Stay strong?

i have such a fear of psychosis and schizophrenia, so i’m scared that i’m going to develop it and lose control over my OCD thoughts. If im very tired and my eyes get heavy i get so scared that im going to go crazy or that i have one or the other. and if i have a panic attack im convinced im going to develop it. does anyone have any tips on how to work though this? i saw a thing online that said people with these dont know the have it and that scared me into thinking i have it and dont know.

I don't know what to do anymore, the fear of psychosis and schizophrenia is so bad in so hyper aware of everything I hear and everything I see, I've always had eye floaters now I convince myself that it's really me hallucinating, I've always had tinnitus but now I'm convinced it means I'm going to go crazy soon, I can't sit in quiet because all I'm focusing on is what I'm hearing, and searching for any sounds I can't distinguish, when there's background noise I get so anxious if I think I heard something but im not sure I did or I'm just anxious, I'm terrified I'll start having delusions and sometimes my brain confuses some sounds for other sounds for example say I'm hyper focused and I breathe and my nose makes a whistling sound my mind interprets it as a scream and I freak out thinking I'm hallucinating only to focus closer and realize it's my own breathing, earlier I was so anxious that I couldnt tell if I had an intrusive thought or heard something, I don't know how to make it stop, I've been through this theme before I just forgot how hard it was I'm having a panic attack please help
