I feel like the police is gonna get me
I feel so paranoid , i was just sitting in my room fine and all of sudden i hear sirens and it doesnt stop for 10 mins. And it turned to my thoughts an paranoia saying “they are looking for you”

Yup This is me as well.. You're not alone
I had to screenshot the message you left on your bio. It was what I needed to hear. And I've had this worry a few times in the past. It was really scary and intense. You know what helped me handle that fear? I would think: ok, if the police doesn't come in 15 days, then it's unlikely they're after me. But maybe it'll be 6 months, so after 6 months I'll put this worry to rest. It sounds like a compulsion and it might as well be one, but I'd wait 15 days and then the fear would subside slowly. And I was never worried about the police being after me for whatever I did 6 months ago, so I never actually tracked this much time lol but this helped me calm down over something I had no control over, such as the police coming after me or not.
What I was basically doing is sitting with the thought, but by putting a time limit for my worry, it helped me not to engage with it. I would think: there's nothing I can do but wait and see.
@Lavander Im glad my bio helped you out but please don’t screenshot because that just made me more paranoid. Screenshoting things without my permission gives like ptsd of mine from personal issues. I know you are just a fellow internet stranger and maybe wont delete it but all j can say is please.
@Sumerillast Dw. Didn't mean to trigger you further, no bad intentions from my part. I'll delete it.
@Lavander I appreciate that alot fellow human :)

Your brains on lock this is a false alarm going off in your brain your perceiving a false threat Your brain is trying to protect you. That’s why the anxiety feels so real but it’s a false sense of danger. Intrusive thoughts can’t hurt you and you’re in no physical danger and no one else is either. It’s a false alarm. Your brain is on lock good news you can get it off lock you have to learn how to put all this power you put into the ruminations and anxiety into other productive activities then you can accomplish amazing things.
I have pocd and for a while, evertime someone knocked at the door I was convinced it was the fbi coming to get me haha. Now I find it ridiculous. I don't pay any attention to it
I don't know what to do anymore, the fear of psychosis and schizophrenia is so bad in so hyper aware of everything I hear and everything I see, I've always had eye floaters now I convince myself that it's really me hallucinating, I've always had tinnitus but now I'm convinced it means I'm going to go crazy soon, I can't sit in quiet because all I'm focusing on is what I'm hearing, and searching for any sounds I can't distinguish, when there's background noise I get so anxious if I think I heard something but im not sure I did or I'm just anxious, I'm terrified I'll start having delusions and sometimes my brain confuses some sounds for other sounds for example say I'm hyper focused and I breathe and my nose makes a whistling sound my mind interprets it as a scream and I freak out thinking I'm hallucinating only to focus closer and realize it's my own breathing, earlier I was so anxious that I couldnt tell if I had an intrusive thought or heard something, I don't know how to make it stop, I've been through this theme before I just forgot how hard it was I'm having a panic attack please help
Since I read that it's symptoms of schizophrenia voices in head who order to do bad things Usually I can deal with it but when I'm highly stressed I start to panic and idk if I believe voices and then I imagine living with it 24/7 it's horrible Im like it's unblerable part to feel pot in my stomach .. Am I in psychosis guys My psy is on vacation help ..I feel hopeless 🥺 Every time I read an symptoms on internet my mind manifest it but it's been a while my mind imitate voices because it's what scare me the most 🥺🥺🥺 A side note : I can attest that before reading symptoms it never even happened to me in my whole life
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy
