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 🙏🏻
I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.
