Yup I have, and ocd causes a lot of uncertainty, even about having Ocd, Ocd is know to erode your Sence of identity by giving you a fake one or none at all, if that makes sense, you just have to push through the bullshit ocd give you, and that fear of BPD, there’s a good chance ocd caused that too, Ik it’s hard but you can get through this, keep ya chin up, I’ll be praying for you, and I can relate to you aswell

I have dealt with this a lot. I got diagnosed earlier this year and have suffered these symptoms as well. I see in this thread that you believe in God and appreciate prayers and I just want to let you know if it weren’t for God I wouldn’t be doing as well as I am now. Please know He knows OCD better than anyone and He has so much grace for you and you’re never condemned. I’ll be praying for you as well! Psalm 23 has helped a lot to connect back to reality. You are loved!

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?? 💔

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.

Do you ever feel like you’re dying?
I have existential ocd and dpdr and my mind keeps telling me I’m dying or will die. Is dpdr even manageable?
