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’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.

I just found out today that a family friend will be staying over at my house (I live with my parents) for a night. And I have contamination ocd and that’s causing me anxiety. I fear that her being here will contaminate my home, which is like my safe place. It’s hard just sitting with the anxiety. I want this day to be over! Does anyone have anything to support me? Thanks

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.
