Me also! This is my main worry or like theme I guess and it is more common then I thought. My therapist sent me some great articles and resources about it. I will link them below if you want to read them! They have helped me a lot and it’s been nice to know that others out there who can sympathize and relate. https://www.sheppardpratt.org/news-views/story/all-in-my-head-ocd-and-mental-health-anxiety/ https://www.intrusivethoughts.org/blog/living-with-the-fear-of-going-crazy/ https://www.mindandsoulfoundation.org/Articles/486124/Mind_and_Soul/Articles/Anxiety_Fearing_Psychosis.aspx
@Anonymous Thank you very much!
Most definitely, this one is pretty intense for me, the idea pops up and I freak out that I have some horrible mental condition and will go nuts. The intense reaction to it doesn't help either 😂
@Snoop.Dugg Hahah just ocd things, hope it works out for you
@Hopeless wanderer Haha yeah pretty much, you too!
I had that too where I even tried analyzing my thoughts to see if I’m losing my mind and I was even analyzing the fact that I can hear my thoughts in my mind but somehow I would precive it to be an audio hilusination which is completely false the mind has a way of making things up and the key is to understand that and know if you where really crazy would you be asking
Be strong my friend you’re not alone 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@sefi Much love my friend thank you
@Hopeless wanderer Always bro
I had it also it is scary. But a theme doesnt really matter - you treat it as all other themes of OCD, with ERP and cognitive-behavorial therapy. ... to me helped to soathe also myself to be more in peace (my therapist drugs helped) and after that standart CBT work and living you life despite these thoughts...it suck, but it is only some other OCD trick...it will go away with therapy and living full life...
Ocd can be the most bizarre thing sometimes, schizophrenic ocd is indeed a very common thing, the argument and constant reasurence to prove that it is not happening is a very real thing, so ofcouse people have that argue in there head?
Hello everyone. I often get the feeling that I will go crazy or in a state of permanent suffering. The thought is very persistent and I think is OCD repeating that disturbing thought. If anyone feels the same way. What do you do about it?
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 🙏🏻
Hi guys! I had really bad harm ocd about 2 years ago and I went through therapy and eventually got really good at handling it when it would pop up. The other day, I was scrolling on TikTok and came across a girl talking about a guy who was presenting a lot of schizophrenic symptoms but no one paid attention and got him help, he was having a lot of delusions, hallucinating, thinking everyone was out to get him, thought he was Jesus and his dad was the president and ended up doing horrific things. The day after that, I was dealing with some work drama and had the thought of “what if all my coworkers are against me and trying to get me fired”. That really stressed me out, cause I don’t normally think about them like that and I went down a rabbit hole of thinking that was the beginning of me developing schizophrenia, ended up googling stuff all night, taking tests, crying and seeking reassurance. I had a thought the other day “your dad is the president”, this one didn’t stress me out as bad as I knew it was just the video I had seen and it was an intrusive thought about it, and I also didn’t believe it. Today I was with some friends and I got a prize at a place we went and it said “lonely” on it. I do have my moments of feeling lonely and this week has been specifically trying so I had a thought like “oh someone’s out to get me cause I got this”. I know this isn’t logical and it wouldn’t make sense to just randomly get it if someone was truly after me and it was just a stupid prize at a random place, anyone could’ve gotten it. Im just struggling a lot with schizophrenic OCD and thinking I’m in the pre stages of it. In my good moments, I don’t think I am at all and it was all just sparked from the video I watched but in my bad moments, these thoughts feel real!! They really stress me out and make me feel like I’m going to lose my mind causing me to lose my job/ end up in a psych hospital/ never live a normal life/ end up alone, never see me my loved ones/ hurt my loved ones. I just want to feel normal and not like I’m about to lose my mind and everything I care about. Please help!!! Anyone else going through something similar and can help me get through this!
