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?
Anyone struggle with this with having ocd?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
Hello, This is my first community post and I would like to know if anyone else struggles with Religious OCD themes, I'm a Christian but please share any perspective you have. - What do your thoughts look like? - How do you know they are related to OCD? For me it's becoming a constant, 24/7 cycle and it's very draining. I want to find some kind of peace between my thoughts and God so I recently started NOCD therapy again. I'm not totally sure how this all works (treatment, OCD diagnosis, etc.). But if anything I want to know that I am not alone with Religious OCD. Thank you
