I have had this fear of schizophrenia for so long so I definitely know what you’re going through. It’s so frustrating. You brain makes you believe that you’ll actually get it or you actually have it. It’s so scary. That’s just the OCD trying to trick you because it feeds off doubt. Stay strong. Remind yourself that it’s OCD. Not trying to give you reassurance but if you actually had borderline personality disorder you probably wouldn’t know you had it. Leave those diagnoses to real doctors. You will get through this❤️

Omg lol thought I was the only one. But I've had the thought I'm autistic for years now so I actually think I am I don't think that's my ocd. But I've thought I've had all sorts before

I definitely hop around to as many diagnoses as possible because I convince myself that it cant possibly be just OCD, that I'm too bad off for that... it's so incredibly frustrating

I have definitely felt that it wasn’t OCD. I was actually convinced it wasn’t. Just because it felt like it was something worse but that’s just how OCD tricks you. It wants you to believe that something else is wrong. It wants you to ruminate and obsess that there is a small change that you could be wrong. That small chance is what makes it feel like the end of world. I heard someone say that if you start to wondering if it’s OCD or not, it’s definitely OCD. It’s so hard because it’s exhausting fighting yourself all the time. Stay strong?

So recently i had really obsessive thoughts about something and once i got over it i kept bringing back more stuff to make myself feel like a bad person. Why am i doing this? Why do i need to look for something else to burden someone with once they have forgiven me

Ohhh here we go again. So I have an obsession that I am the devil? So annoying. The delusions are getting ridiculous. But I am concerned I have schizo-obsessive.

Does anyone else find it hard to let go of an intrusive thought when you can find some irrelevant truth to it that feels relevant? Examples: **“You’re attracted to *insert inappropriate person* (family member/child/animal)”** “But they are pretty/cute/adorable…” **“You think your bf is ugly.”** “Well, his hair did look weird the other day and I’ve taken unflattering photos of him. He *could* be (more fit/better dressed/etc)…” **“What if I actually want bad things to happen to me for attention?”** “Well, I have imagined people comforting me… and sometimes I do not mind when others check in on me.” **“What if I’m actually a bad person deep down?”** “Well, I have made mistakes before… and sometimes I do not immediately feel guilty.” **“What if I secretly want to be with someone else?”** “I have thought about what it would be like to date different people.” **“You wanted (family member/child/anyone else) to find you sexy”** “Well, I don’t want to be seen as ugly, and a compliment is flattering.” —— It’s such a skillful distortion at times that I don’t even realize things are twisted, and I genuinely believe the thought, causing me to panic so intensely. Only later, I look back and have small epiphanies where I realize it wasn’t at all what I thought. Anyone else?
