Im afraid again that im having psychosis

I asked this before but i started worrying again casue i have other symptoms. So i wrote before that i heared whispers that doesnt had any meaning while i was trying to sleep, or when i felt tired. But now i got my intrusive thoughts(harm) as voices, to do things i dont want. Im not having constantly i just know i had and im afraid so much that i had psychosis. I was diagnosed with depression and im taking meds but before i took it i had the same but soo rarely. I thought its just an obsession, but now im worrying cause depression can make you go crazy if its so severe... Im aware that im having these voices and i know its my mind but sometimes i get so lost in this worry that i start questioning if its my mind or something bigger power talking to me and i get so scared, panicky that i have to ask reassurance from someone that it can happem or no. Then i feel calm. Can this be psychosis?

Hey friend, with OCD there really isn’t an answer that will satisfy your mind, it will always come up with another thing. I would do exposures with a therapist on your psychosis obsession. They can really help. Stay strong!

But if i was diagnosed with depression, then couldnt that be psychosis. My ocd was developed cause i didnt wanted to accept that im depressed, now i feel the same with this

Lean towards the uncertainty…maybe it’s psychosis, maybe it’s not.

I’ve had and regularly get that fear and it is awful. But my therapist talked it through with me and said it’s part of ocd and I think this is what you are experiencing x

You just have the fear or you hear your intrusive thoughts as voices too?

Again I’m not a therapist so I can’t answer 100% but your language sounds like an ocd obsession (I’ve had these worries too, scared out of mind but months later nothing has happened) again talk to a therapist or a professional so they can properly diagnose!

If you have asked it before don’t ask it again. Sit with that uncertainty.

Ocd is a tricky bastard. I get an impure sexual thought and think oh no what's wrong with me I shouldn't be thinking that I must still be in sexual addiction. Oh no if I'm not honest with my wife about this thought then I'll break her trust and she'll leave me, at this point I'm feeling paranoid, oh no I'm having paranoid thoughts maybe i have schizophrenia?! Am I hearing voices? I don't think so... Rinse and repeat maybe a day maybe more then the thoughts quite down along with the anxiety and then I'm like oh dang that was just my OCD doing it's stuff again

@Matt G You’re right! It’s so tricky isn’t it?

So ocd is like that... you overthink that you heard voices. I do actually heard my thoughts as voices

@PRIV8 For me it’s been the same voice throughout my life. Ocd has amplified it. And from time to time I begin to doubt the “voice”. When the amplification & doubts are there, I will realize I’m in the ocd rabbit hole. In silence I’ll say to myself…You got me ocd and I choose to leave…I have other things to do.

This illness brings up intrusive feelings

I was told that this illness that im having now(some say its some kind of covid) is attacking people where they are the most sensitive, so it got my mental health and at first it was the fear of my health which im starting to face but now it got deeper and i have feelings of hopelessness and like a depressed feelings and thoughts like things wont get better. And i dont know where this comes from, im afraid this is actually what i believe. Dont know if its ocd or the illness actually made these problem come up what was pushed away by me... When i have these feelings my first reaction is fear and i dont know if its something i shouldnt give attention or the fear is actually bad and it makes me avoid the problem, so i should work on this depression... I dont know whats happening but its scarry and i dont like these dark thoughts. I think i suffer more because of the fear and shame of these thoughts but again i dont know if the fear and shame shows me that i dont need to give attention to these thoughts or the fear and shame actually blocks me to deal with these thoughts and feelings...

Physcosis ocd??

Recently ive had ocd thoughts that are really weird and make no sense (they sound like thoughts that someone would have if they were in physcosis eg. What if trump can communicate with you through your head) like what??? Sometimes it feels like i believe it??? Which stresses me out and im constantly worried that im going through physcosis since i sort of belive it? I know deep down its ridiculous but it almost feels like i believe it?? Im scared. Like sometimes im calm with the thought. Im like oh okay maybe. Then sometimes my brain tries to imagine him like talking to me through my head??? Am i going through physcosis.??

Is schizo ocd a thing?

I have been having these fears about developing schizophrenia, it reached a point where i am starting to almost hear things or the smallest sounds and my mind tells me you're schizophrenic, and i feel this weird sensations in my ear as if someone is whispering yet i can barely hear them, the thing is i am not diagnosed yet because i never work with an OCD therapist but i study psychology so i just used what i learnt to give a meaning to my suffering, many themes of this fear have been happening before and this schizophrenia fear is the last one. I want to know what advice you can give me or ways to make my brain calm down a little bit, i also don't have and can't afford a therapist that's why i am here in the first place I also want to know more informations or experiences with this theme if anyone habe experienced it and what helped you with it I remember feeling better for a while but than i collapsed back, but i am hoping to get better soon too or anytime in the future, I don't want reassurance so make sure you be as real as you can, and thanks 🙏🏻
