If my body feels different or off I get scared I’m losing control or will do something crazy or go crazy. Like if I get light headed. If I start to feel super sleepy. Anytime my body doesn’t feel it’s normal.
This happens all of the time, any slight “off feeling” it sends me into a panic of “what ifs.” One thing that helps me is to remember that is it starts with “what if” it is an intrusive thought! Your body and brain can convince itself of a lot of things so remember that! If you tell yourself you are hot, sweaty and panicking you might just do that, but tell yourself the opposite and your mind will subconsciously follow! 🤍
@Amendolara1 This is so true. I get so scared cause I struggle with harm OCD. it’s based around my daughter. It gets so scary!
My body has done weird things during interactions and sometimes it feels like the movements came from me, like I controlled them. It’s freaking terrifying. Sometimes I believe I’ve gone psycho. I don’t know who the fuck I am anymore. Maybe I should just accept that I’m a danger to society.
In the past I used to isolate myself when I was feeling bad or when my mental health became poor. now I feel like I don't want to be alone because I'm scared that when I'm alone, something bad will happen or i'll lose control and do something bad. And I feel like when I'm around someone e.g. my mom, it's easier to just let the thoughts go because at least there's someone there to verify that I haven't done anything bad.
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.
