Schizophrenia ocd

I’ve been doing so good not seeking reassurance but I’m anxious as hell. My Aunty is spiritual and I asked her how she sees spirits and she said “imagine an apple” and so I did and she said that’s how she sees them like imagining they are there and now I’ve convinced myself im schizophrenic but imagining someone idk standing in the hall way ( im not actually seeing it ) but it’s making me paranoid and what if I convince myself im seeing stuff and then I do. Is this normal? Can anyone look at a door way and imagine someone standing there for a split second in ur head or am I insane

@Chihuahuaprincess - you gotta get to the phase that your convinced its ocd and anxiety, only way i know of that happening is through exhaustion, your gonna be scared until you cant be scared anymore

OMG I have the same fear. I got really scared today. I think about seeing things but never actually see them. I worry so much that I will though. Spiritual people also trigger me

@Kiddd Same, like I love my aunt and it’s great she can talk to dead people but I personally don’t want too or I don’t want to see Shadows or anything and she keeps telling me I’m psychic and stuff and I don’t want to be.

@Chihuahuaprincess Personally, I don’t believe in that stuff. I think people mistake their thoughts for something else when their belief is so heavy. There’s nothing to prove it, it’s just in her head. Lots of superstition. If you research (which might be a compulsion for you), lots of psychics have scammed people. Our brains love patterns so of course we will notice coincidences but I don’t think there’s much more to it

@Kiddd - reminds of the time i went to see a palm reader( mostly for fun) in 2015 to explain my whole situation about how ide had a bad trip on drugs and then 2 months later my brain broke, then i scared myself into thinking something worse was happening, hence the ocd fear...cant believe thats 8 years ago now

@marioooooo Nothing about a palm reader over here, but I had the same experience with having a horrible drug trip, “brain break” and than constantly scaring myself into thinking something worse was happening. Just finally realizing the last few months it’s OCD. Please tell me you’re worlds away 8 years later? Haha

you should hit athreshold where you become numb to the thoughts and worries, theyll still bother you but your body wont produce adrenlaine, atleast thats how it was with me

i spare the details of the next phase, except to say its gonna be a struggle if its anything like mine, rejogging the mind back to normality, but you'll know you can do it at that point, it just takes time.

What sleep aid do you take if you don't mind saying?

@Solaris - i borrowed my moms lorazapam or the doctor gave me seraquel, lowest dose to sleep, i took serequel for 9 months in 2015 until the jolts and racing mind were gone, then i just stopped cold turkey and was fine for years until 2022 when i triggered my ocd agian lol, i shoudlnt have drank alcohol agian

@marioooooo Is it true that sleep aids are addictive?

@marioooooo - and when i say my ocd was gone, i mean i never got panic attacks anymore or looping obsessive thoughts, i would still get the odd thought here and there but there was continuity of consciousness if you get my meaning, no obsessiveness to go with it

@Solaris - seraquel wasnt addictive lorazapam is

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.??

Ocd/going crazy

Hi about a week ago I found out I have ocd and chronic anxiety! I tried zoloft and it was terrible for me. I also started therapy and I take hydroxyzine but I will discuss further medication with my doctor. My question is I have a huge fear that I'm going crazy, I am crazy, or schizophrenic to the point I'm so hyper aware of my surrounding ill look out the corner of my eye to make sure I'm nit seeing anything ill make sure to double check what I'm hearing and it's so draining! I get really scared and go into a panic and cry 😅 I need some reassurance has anyone felt this way my doctor and therapist explained it to me but I'm still very scared. I feel like one day I'll have a break and I won't be the same! I tried the grounding exercise and breathing it helps temporarily. I also cut out smoking weed and none of my family has this but I feel like I have it or ill develope it even though it's rare!

Losing it maybe lols

I came across a video that was talking about a theory and it was something me and my friend were talking about 2 years ago and were tweaking about and i was explaining it to my girlfriend just now and them i started to get anxiety about stuff not being real and my world isn’t what it seems to be and that there stuff out there and then i started to have religious OCD and then it went to how Im scared of the world being fake or suffering from a mental illness like schizophrenia or something and stuff and I’ve been having OCD about my girlfriend being a government agent or that government agents are watching me cause I’m scared of schizophrenia and thinking like them i don’t think i actually think it i kinda just go to my girlfriend isn’t a government agent which scares me into thinking i was thinking she was or gonna think she is or idk if i just saying that to bot seem insane or something but like idk if i truly believe that i doubt it i don’t believe it any other time and then i started getting stress i might hurt or maybe kill her and it scares me cause shes my everything and I’m scared of losing her idk guys I’m getting stressed hella and I’m scared of myself and my OCD I’m genuinely tired of it like anyone can ask my girlfriend and she’ll say i cant go 5 mins without ticcing (from ocd) or asking for reassurance like that life is real and thats shes real and I’m real and nothings wrongs and stuff, i probably sounds crazy lmaoo maybe and the sucky thing is i don’t have a therapist or a thingy going on for me cause i don’t have a job and or insurance let alone.
