Schizophrenia OCD

Does anyone obsess that they are essentially losing it? Ive had intrusive thoughts about what if im going through psychosis? or what If i have schizophrenia and they've really been messing with me. I felt better after a therapy session yesterday but today - while I was getting my daughter out of her crib I had the thought - "what if she's an alien" totally absurd thought, I know! But now I'm spiraling thinking that I really do have psychosis or schizophrenia and that I'm losing touch with reality.

I'm sorry you're struggeling with this! But honestly, none of that sounds weird, i can relate to random strange thoughts as well and i think its pretty common

I’ve been through the schizophrenia stage briefly. It sucked 😣 I just prayed this theme away as much as I could and reminded myself that its my anxious mind messing with me.

I have similar issues and I always go back to something my father told me when I was first dealing with this and asking if I was going insane. He said insane people don't ask or worry if they are going insane,they just are in insane. So keep your head up and know that you aren't crazy because you are able to ask yourself and fear that you are. Which means you are not

I understand this. It can be a mix of schizophrenic ocd and existential ocd. I get the alien thing. I have had that and also worry about people being other things. I will not say unless you want me to because I don’t want your brain to latch onto something. Look into existential ocd. The schizophrenic ocd is no fun either though. I deal with that and I recently found out my gf has schizophrenia so then I sometimes worry I have or will get it too. Just keep working on it and ride out the thoughts the best you can.

I had this theme for a year or so in high school and it eventually burnt itself out! But, yes all of those things are things that I have experienced with that theme...I've noticed some symptoms of it returning now again, but it's a lot easier now to practice response prevention with it. And even if it isn't ocd, there are treatment options available for psychosis and schizophrenia. It sounds like OCD to me :)

It's one of the What-Ifs that OCD throws at us. For example, if we have a harm thought we'll start to worry (what if) that we're psycho. The answer is no, we're not psycho, we're OCD. It's malware in our brain, but very treatable with a trained OCD therapist. You can find one on the NOCD site.

Everything feels so real. I think learning about non-offending pedophiles has really screwed with me. I feel like I’m not even doing compulsions anymore like I genuinely cannot remember if I do them or not and the groinal responses are messing with me. I keep having intrusive dreams and I’m in that half asleep state and I feel nothing after that or I feel weird like a good weird, I don’t know. It’s a really weird feeling when I get those thoughts but I don’t like them, I don’t think. All I know is, I keep seeking reassurance and I feel like I don’t have OCD because the way I feel, like the way I get worked up isn’t the same as others. Whenever I try to watch a show, like 9-1-1 or daily dose of sunshine, I feel like I’m watching something I shouldn’t be. Or if I’m just on my phone, I feel like something is going to happen. I feel red flags whenever I’m on my phone, like somehow cp will appear. I know that OCD is the doubting disorder but my god, this is just crazy. I feel like I’m going crazy. Everything is just nonstop, it’s so constant and I’m genuinely scared that I’ll do something when I get out of my room. I don’t know anymore, this whole OCD thing is just making me lose my mind.

I just don't know

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
