Try your best not to fight them. Respond to every one with “Maybe. Maybe I do have schizophrenia. I can’t be sure one way or another.”

Hey! Trust me, you’re going to be okay. Anxiety can’t kill you. But I get how you’re feeling. A lot of us have been there, too. What’s going on?

A lot schizophrenia fears been on my mind . I don’t want this to turn into a theme I’m trying to disregard but it’s getting to me now . My mind keeps telling me like imagine the way your brain can turn on you . Like your mind is not your friend . I’m trying to stay positive here but when I think about the future it’s telling me that I won’t make it . That I am going to completely lose myself I’m scared

Oh dude, I used to have this fear too and I’m sorry you’re going through it right now. The best advice I can offer is to tell yourself, whether you have schizophrenia or not, you’ll be okay. It’s treatable, and a lot of people are able to live a normal life with it. Other than that, don’t give in to any compulsions—especially reassurance seeking! To stop yourself from panicking, try square breathing. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, and exhale for 4 seconds. Repeat until your breathing calms. You’ve got this! You’re a tough ass bitch and you’re gonna show OCD who’s boss! Praying for you ?

I’m trying to not let it scare me . I’m also very sleep deprived because I only got like 4 hours of sleep the other night . So I feel like that is making me very anxious as well

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do anymore, the fear of psychosis and schizophrenia is so bad in so hyper aware of everything I hear and everything I see, I've always had eye floaters now I convince myself that it's really me hallucinating, I've always had tinnitus but now I'm convinced it means I'm going to go crazy soon, I can't sit in quiet because all I'm focusing on is what I'm hearing, and searching for any sounds I can't distinguish, when there's background noise I get so anxious if I think I heard something but im not sure I did or I'm just anxious, I'm terrified I'll start having delusions and sometimes my brain confuses some sounds for other sounds for example say I'm hyper focused and I breathe and my nose makes a whistling sound my mind interprets it as a scream and I freak out thinking I'm hallucinating only to focus closer and realize it's my own breathing, earlier I was so anxious that I couldnt tell if I had an intrusive thought or heard something, I don't know how to make it stop, I've been through this theme before I just forgot how hard it was I'm having a panic attack please help

panicking so bad
I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME TT (lowkey begging)
I told a few people on social media about my OCD, including POCD and how distressing it is. But everyone went quiet, then a few hours later I posted that I don’t support pedophilia at all neither do I justify it or am a pedo. Then someone replied with: “I think someone might take it bc u have such an obsessive fear of it u might have actual p3 do philic tendencies” I can’t do this anymore, I’m terrified to spiral again like a few months ago but I’m on the brink of doing it again. I’m shaking and stressing tf out I hate this so so so so so much
