Schizo- OCD

That’s exactly how I felt when i had that episode but this also helped as well as therapy

What you said just made me feel so much better about something I’m currently struggling with. I had the whole schiz fear recently and I seem to have gotten over it partially not entirely though because at times I’ll suddenly feel very anxious, unsettled , and scared and get weird scary/ demonic/ devil ish thoughts in my head that creep my out and then in my head it’ll sound like a demonic voice one you’d hear in a movie then I’d FREAK OUT and think I have schiz or a more severe illneaa like psychosis or something because of it. I’ve been having trouble because of scared I am recognizing between voice in my head / thought associated with a certain voice but what you said made sense. I do not hear external voices/ sounds, I dont see or hallucinat either however my therapist said I do seem to have a lot of health anxiety and just anxiety in general. Idk this all randomly DEVELOPED out of no where but my anxiety has been with me for some years but the whole weirs scary thoughts and schiz was recent and out of no where and Idk why I’ve become like this its killing me. Give me your insight please and thank you!

@12Qwaszx Aw I'm glad my comment made you feel better! Honesty it's normal to have different 'voice' monologues in your head, you can think of someone and you can hear their voice in your mind sometimes. So it would be the same with a 'demonic' sounding voice, if you think about it you will most likey 'hear' it in your mind. I also had a big fear of physchosis I would constabtly question and fear if I was going into one or not whenever I felt "weird" or anxious, it would literally cause me to have panic attacks, feel sick and I would go off my food. But I learnt also people with psychosis do not know they're going through one, which is the opposite to you (hope that makes sense) I also have no idea why I suddenly feel this way, but theyre just thoughts, they dont have power until you give them attention and meaning and it won't last forever and you will overcome it! hope this helps x

@Pandora7 Thank you so much. You are so great. You made me feel not alone. I honestly got creeped out because a few days ago when I got those scary thoughts immeditaly it was like a scary deep mans “demonic” voice in my head and then I immeditatly freaked out and I keep linking such thoughts to having a serious mental illness like schiz / paranoid schiz or going crazy or I keep thinking what if there are devils/ demons in my head/ what if Im possessed and then I get PANICKY! It sucks having such thoughts but you made me feel normal and you don’t understand how much you responding to me means a lot. No one else has been responding / helping in terms of this and you made me feel not crazy and assured that its normal. Thank you so very much.

@12Qwaszx Also I got told by a therapist it's the nature of anxiety to 'get worse' and attach onto more things when it's left untreated, I suffered with social anxiety for most of my teenage years then it developed into a general anxiety disorder. But anxiety can be reduced greatly never give up x

@12Qwaszx Aww I'm really glad too help, i know exactly how you feel the fear can fully take over your life, you really are not alone, so many people have these thoughts, also bro I had the exact same fear of being possessed I've seen alot of people say the same thing. And it makes sense it is a really scary thing 😂 but just because you think it doesn't mean it's going to happen to you!

@Pandora7 Yesss omg totally!! Thanks a lot mang blessings your way x!

@Pandora7 Any advice on making this voice that I've created go away?

@TS In my opinion the best thing to do is to try not get rid of it, try and get rid of the anxiety that comes along with it. Whenever you 'hear' the voice try not to panic or fear it or to shut it out because that will never work, trying not to think of something always makes you think of it more, especially if it bothers you so much. Instead say to yourself something like, "oh you're back? Epic love that, you can stay as long as you want" it teaches your brain to not be afraid of it anymore and eventually it won't bother you anymore and your alot less likey to 'hear' it. but it can take alot of practise. I really recommend watching OCD and anxiety on YouTube he has videos on 'going crazy' ocd, he explains everything really well!

@Pandora7 Thank you so much!

Ocd and anxiety is a YouTube channel if you haven't already check him out, he helped me alot with the same issues!

I've recovered decently from Schizophrenia ocd. I'm currently struggling with existential ocd and a bit of suicidal ocd

@TS Isn't it so annoying that it jumps from one thing to another? I actually started with suicidal ocd and then it jumped into schizophrenia ocd. I had a nightmare one night and I kept thinking about it and created a stupid scary voice for those thoughts, did yours ever stop?

@Anonymous Ehh I can tell that it's me doing the voice internally. Sometimes I'll make it say something funny in that voice & it just feels silly from then on

@Skai Jesus been feeling this exact way
