I have ocd with a schizophrenia theme and it literally kills me, but I’m determined to beat this and get my life back. I always look back on who I used to be before all of this started and I think I can still be that person. I always used to have ocd before I even knew what ocd was. I used to have bouts of pocd and harm ocd, but they weren’t as bad as this one. I’ve been diagnosed three times with ocd and still can’t get past this obsession. It all started when I got a horrible panic attack from weed when I was 18. I idiotically decided to research and convinced myself I’ve had like 90 different illnesses. The worst one that stuck out the most of what I read was schizo. It literally petrified me. I’ve had times with this obsession where I felt normal again. I traveled a lot, I hung out with friends, and things were getting better for a couple of years. Now 2018 hits I’m 25 and the obsession came back 400 times stronger. Everyone tells me I’m fine, but my mind always comes up with the scariest thoughts to try and convince me that I’m crazy. It’s been so depressing
I should also mention that I have no family history of it, but I am left handed and I read that lefties are more likely to have it. I’m so afraid that I started to try and write with my right hand. How stupid is that. ?
I’m so sorry to hear the hard time u have been having w/ your ocd sweetie. That’s truly intense. I have ocd too, it also holds me back. I’ll obsess about a bad thought I have and have to perform certain “repetitive rituals” in my head to somehow “undo” that bad thought. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It’s truly the strangest feeling to be jailed in your own mind. Especially when u know u can have control but your brain convinces u that u don’t. It’s something so difficult to explain to people who don’t go through it. But I do assure u, u WILL beat this and u R OKAY. Life is NOT out to get u. Life is beautiful. Try to learn meditation, it really helped me. I also keep calming energy crystals around myself at home, work, car and purse. It sounds silly but energy is all around u. It can make u feel imbalanced and balancing it out/working on it daily like a vitamin is so important.
It will get better!
What r u constantly thinking of?
@shiriiiiii6 my husband just got me an energy crystal ring ?❤️
OCD can make you do stupid things ? it has made me do many stupid things
Does anyone relate? I have really bad schizo OCD.. and before I had a lot of other themes but because the schizo theme is current and taking over the other ones have kind of been pushed to the side and all I can focus on is becoming crazy.. Well these past couple of days have been bad and as soon as I wake up I have this like really uncomfortable feeling in my chest.. no matter how much sleep I get or if I wasn’t stressed before going to bed. Then another thing I guess since I don’t have thoughts about really anything else for the day (ex. What are my tasks today, I’m excited for this today, oh I’m hungry.. etc) my thoughts are kind of all over the place about my schizo ocd and then it’s to the point I have random conversations that don’t even make sense in my head or I hear family members voices in my head saying something but it’s like I know it’s all my mind doing it but it still confuses me why random thoughts I didn’t think pop up or why I’m hearing it in their voice but this only happens when I first wake up or if I’m falling asleep. Then once it happens my brain is like.. does this mean I’m going crazy and starting to hear voices.. idk it’s literally driving me crazy..
I can’t figure out if I’m really suicidal or just obsessing over the thought of it. Im to scared to even do it. I don't know if this is my OCD or what but for the past week or so it's been really bothering me these thoughts that I am on edge, scared. I haven't eaten in 3 days. I have imagined every single way of doing it, and everything and it makes me SICK. It feels like an urge at this point. I start to feel like maybe I could actually do it, then I feel myself about to go into a panic attack. I already feel derealization where this world doesn't feel real and nobody seems real to me, and my family feels like strangers and I'm just really scared. I feel very scared. I don't physically feel like I'm "here." I feel like my mind is lost. I feel like I just want to be at peace and then I think I’m seriously suicidal and the cycle just keeps repeating itself. Im sick to my stomach and terrified.
Early morning havnt slept and ocd hasn't stopped for days I just want to be able to breath it's so debilitating in every way and I just feel the ocd thoughts start to pop ideas in my head and the things it comes up with like the worries are not just thoughts they are fully formed situations and very specific when I haven't even thought about it before it's like it forms this whole thing in my head subconsciously and then before I know it I'm chillin and then I'm just 50 ft under water drowning because it just throws a whole spacific situation at me that I never even thought of this effects me in every way possible and I just lay here misrible all day having seizer after seizer from stress being suicidal and just suffocating and so much more I just dread every moment I'm awake because the moment I am counsious it starts ugh it's every moment of my day just suffering so yeah really not looking forward to waking up 10 years of this and I'm exhausted the only relief I get is switching to another theme like i just wamma get pregnant so i csn obsess over that instead of what i am rn ot effects everyone around me and im just so miserable
