Fear of Hearing Voices

This is my main OCD theme fear of developing schizophrenia/psychosis. I know exactly what you are talking about, lately I have been obsessed with my inner voice and thoughts that feels like my head is spinning. I have my inner voice plus random phrases/songs/ words keep popping up in my mind 24/7. I thought I was the only one going through this. Just know you’re not alone. I am worried too but I am thinking my ocd is just trying to convince me that I lost my mind. I pray we overcome this 🙏

Right as I read your post I thought of a voice that was a voice not of my own that “ could” potentially talk to me . This is how the severe ocd fear of schizophrenia acts. It preys on your fear. My psychiatrist few days ago said to me that there is a real break in reality usually with schizophrenia and a high % are so deep in their delusions and other symptoms that they don’t know they are experiencing psychosis. I hope that helps a bit coming from someone who experiences this exact fear.

I obsess over my thoughts & voices a lot. I fear getting schizophrenia also because when I was very depressed in the past I heard different voices talking to me. I usually always hear my own thoughts & give in to what my ocd tells me to do too often. I am exhausted too & haven’t done one of my Erp homework cuz I been tired of my triggers, phobias, & ocd but also been distracted. This year I woke up & randomly heard a voice I never heard saying my name. I don’t sleep well but the mind does all kinds of stuff that makes no sense. Be kind & loving to yourself. You are not alone because I do this too & often easier giving in feeling I deserve to feel bad from bullying thoughts. No one without ocd will ever understand what we go through. You are not alone! Hope you can do something you enjoy! Hugs
