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?
Does anyone know of any rehabilitation centers for mental health? My ocd has gotten bad today to the point where I feel like leaving :( and desperately get help . Ever since I began medication months ago I been feeling fine but all sudden I feel like my episodes are rapidly coming back. I’m more responsive to them. I find myself ruminating more and engaging in compulsions. I feel embarrassed that my family would have to know if I considered making that choice of leaving . It’s never gotten to this breaking point , or at least I don’t think. I’ve been through this a billion times and each time it feels like it’s the worst and it’s gonna be the one that will permanently take over me and my full control. I’m from Elkhart, Indiana. Or if there’s anyone here that can talk to me I’d appreciate it I feel so alone right now and I’m more vulnerable because I’m home alone and I don’t have many friends. I’m scared that I’m gonna lose touch with myself. I don’t wanna lost my values or stop feeling my normal self. It feels real and scary. I want it to stop.
can someone with this theme help me i’m so scared and i can’t stop having panic attacks is this OCD??? So i always have struggled most with sucicidal ocd and harm ocd. i never really had any other themes. but recently ive struggled with SOOCD. My whole life i have never EVER been into girls ever and i could never even think of ever being with a girl in my entire life. i’m having extreme amounts of anxiety and i have compulsions to make sure i look at a girl and don’t feel anything towards them or anything. My mind is literally going “what if your just in denial” or “what if you’ve just been hiding it all these years” When i know i haven’t. i have all of the symptoms of SOOCD and i still know that im not gay,but these thoughts are extremely distressing and have been the worse to deal with. I’m constantly panicking and doing compulsions to get these thoughts to leave and they won’t. i’m scared and these thoughts are making my mind scared. What if i’m going against my morals and i’m lying to myself like and i just went through a tough breakup too so that is shooting these thoughts and anxiety. Please help omg!!!
hi. so one big factor of my OCD is rumination. i met a guy who i have a crush on the idea of (idea bc there are red flags). my biggest fear is not finding true love, my ex told me no one else would deal with what i have (my ocd, specifically reassurance seeking and getting overstimulated after intimacy). a few weeks ago, my friends and family all gathered and tried to give me advice that sounded like “you’re shy and you’ll never find someone.” after that, i’ve felt off. i’ve been using an unhealthy coping skill, daydreaming, and i’ve just felt unbalanced. my ocd makes everything feel different sometimes, i can’t explain it. life, myself, almost like being in a dissociated state. has anyone else experienced that? i don’t know how to remain balanced during my off times and i know pms exasperates it all. i take ashwaghanda and omega 3s in a multi vitamin daily. i take them all together in the evening but i’ve missed three days recently and also messed with my rocky sleep schedule because of fun times with friends. i hope these supplements work, because i don’t know if i’d be brave enough for medication. i had a bad reaction on prozac and often am forgetful. i just have been battling my OCD consciously for almost ten years now and unconsciously for longer. i am so tired, as my mental health extends beyond my OCD. i’m in talk therapy with some cbt aspects but i only see her twice a month. i’ve broken down so many times and promised myself id get on track or that certain things would work, but it’s like i am stuck in a circle that gets smaller when i’m able to help myself. i just want to be normal. i want to be able to mess up my sleep schedule to enjoy good times and not suffer horrible consequences or fear that i will be entirely thrown off balance. i don’t want to worry or doubt or feel so dissociative that i squint my eyes for a moment and wonder why i feel so unreal. i will never understand why god has allowed me to go through this. i cannot let it be for nothing but i don’t know how much more to bend and contort my body and brain to get somewhere stable but how lovely it would be if i could. i don’t have much of a schedule right now, i get apathetic and give in with things from time to time. one thing can trigger me and i am back to square one wether in a week or month. any advice, any and all is so helpful. your stories, your thoughts. maybe feeling less alone and knowing what has helped you is exactly what i need right now. thank you 💗
