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?

Anyone else struggle with “maybe, maybe not”?
I know the solution is to always say “yeah that could be true, but I am choosing to live my life anyway.” However, I feel like my biggest issue is my brain always assuming that it is immediately true when I do that. Like if I say “maybe I’m attracted to teenagers, it’s possible,” then my brain INSTANTLY starts rationalizing that thought and defending it and being like “oh okay so you think this now and it makes sense because xyz, and now that’s who you are and your real desire is now and always will be teenagers.” I feel really alone in this area of feeling like my brain “accepting the thoughts” means my brain immediately accepts them as true. I obviously don’t want to think they’re true but I feel so stuck now.

Fear of undiagnosed mental health conditions
My current obsession is around mental health, specifically that I have undiagnosed Bipolar 2. Any changes in my mood are triggering and in my compulsive googling to make myself feel better (never works lol) I discovered that ocd and bipolar are linked in like 10-20% of cases?! So now I feel worse. Anyone else experience mental health fears?

The things my brain convinces me of
The things my brain convinces me of are so horrible idk how im going to get through this this time. I feel like I tell my self all the obsessions this episode u don’t even know or you definitely didn’t do but then I just start ruminating on simply the idea of them existing for me to worry abt being enough to keep me in the episode and I can’t even remember them all which doesn’t make sense how I would just forget but ocd makes it make sense yk. Sometimes they feel so real and there is nothing I can do to know and I just want to be happy so bad ik my core values and how I actually feel but it’s just a dark lonely terrifying cloud raining on me all day and night long.
