I went through this! It's really scary and overwhelming. It made me feel very panicky all of the time. One of my biggest fears was losing my mind as well - so I was hyperaware and was looking for signs everywhere. It's exhausting! This is an article I love because it describes ways to respond to intrusive thoughts: https://www.sheppardpratt.org/news-views/story/how-to-respond-to-unwanted-obsessive-thoughts/. These are tools I use to help myself be present when OCD is trying to distract me! Have you ever done any therapy for OCD?

Yes!!! I constantly feel like my brain is overloading with thoughts, it’s exhausting. Any small thing can trigger a bunch of thoughts in my head.

Hey 👋 😌 I know I’m super late to this but I recently started experiencing this quite a lot especially when I’m under a lot of stress and tired and in the quiet or if there’s white noise around and the example you gave I relate to it so much and I even went on Reddit to see if someone else was experiencing this and someone made a post about it and most of the comments were “oh that’s not normal if it’s not your own voice you’re probably developing something” and it just made me feel more anxious :/ were you able to overcome this and what helped if you did ?
