I might have schizophrenia...

So I just got off a call with my psychiatrist and told her about my delusions and how even if logically i know they're not real, something in my head acts like it is abs causes me anxiety and such, I told her (very reluctantly out of embarrassment) and she says i potentially have schizophrenia or at least symptoms of it. She prescribed me medication for it and I got off the call and cried to my mom about my fears and dread I felt about potentially having schizophrenia Started looking stuff up about schizophrenia and then came across nocd articles which helped ease me a little, if I do have schizophrenia, its only mild compared to my ocd which I know because of my fear and obsession over my condition I dunno what else to say, mind kinda zoned off but yeah (and yes now I'm over analyzing if the zoning out is schizophrenia lol)

If you are concerned, then you should get an actual diagnosis. “I think you have…” is NOT good enough and is NOT an official diagnosis.

I even asked if it means I have it but she said only possible, no concrete answer

@Aquario Only said maybe its a cause from trauma (although she always seems to lowkey suspect i was sexually abused no matter how many times I say no so there that too)

@Aquario If she’s not going to give you a YES or NO, then you need to get a legitimate diagnosis and isn’t playing around since this is a serious mental illness. And she could very well not know a thing about OCD and it’s actually OCD symptoms.

Have you read the NOCD article about schizophrenia fear? I’m actually suffering from this currently due to having to learn about schizophrenia in school. Some things I’ve learned about schizophrenia are onset can be gradual or sudden. Some common delusions can involve paranoia such as fear someone is watching you or reading your thought or that someone is out to get you. Many often see hallucinations or hear things that are not there, like a person in the room that’s not there. Women tend to have symptoms around 25-35 and men sooner. Psychosis makes reality disappear for the person. I highly suggest seeking an actual diagnosis as the “maybe” creates extreme fear

Thing is with me I get delusions that logically I know aren't true but something in me believes it Slightly so it just cause huge anxiety and annoyance And in some ways in paranoid, thinking people secretly hate me, or thinking people are talking about me but that one is more confusing cause could be social anxiety And yes, a diagnosis would definitely help because that psychiatrist's "maybe" even after asking if I have it or not just made me a shaking puddle of anxiety now

@Aquario I’m so sorry you’re feeling like that, I can feel your anxiety. It’s a miserable feeling to have.

@Aquario Hey, did anything ever come of these feelings for you? How are you now? I also have the fear of schizophrenia and my main fear is having delusions so my thoughts 24/7 are now delusional

Ocd/going crazy

Hi about a week ago I found out I have ocd and chronic anxiety! I tried zoloft and it was terrible for me. I also started therapy and I take hydroxyzine but I will discuss further medication with my doctor. My question is I have a huge fear that I'm going crazy, I am crazy, or schizophrenic to the point I'm so hyper aware of my surrounding ill look out the corner of my eye to make sure I'm nit seeing anything ill make sure to double check what I'm hearing and it's so draining! I get really scared and go into a panic and cry 😅 I need some reassurance has anyone felt this way my doctor and therapist explained it to me but I'm still very scared. I feel like one day I'll have a break and I won't be the same! I tried the grounding exercise and breathing it helps temporarily. I also cut out smoking weed and none of my family has this but I feel like I have it or ill develope it even though it's rare!

Losing it maybe lols

I came across a video that was talking about a theory and it was something me and my friend were talking about 2 years ago and were tweaking about and i was explaining it to my girlfriend just now and them i started to get anxiety about stuff not being real and my world isn’t what it seems to be and that there stuff out there and then i started to have religious OCD and then it went to how Im scared of the world being fake or suffering from a mental illness like schizophrenia or something and stuff and I’ve been having OCD about my girlfriend being a government agent or that government agents are watching me cause I’m scared of schizophrenia and thinking like them i don’t think i actually think it i kinda just go to my girlfriend isn’t a government agent which scares me into thinking i was thinking she was or gonna think she is or idk if i just saying that to bot seem insane or something but like idk if i truly believe that i doubt it i don’t believe it any other time and then i started getting stress i might hurt or maybe kill her and it scares me cause shes my everything and I’m scared of losing her idk guys I’m getting stressed hella and I’m scared of myself and my OCD I’m genuinely tired of it like anyone can ask my girlfriend and she’ll say i cant go 5 mins without ticcing (from ocd) or asking for reassurance like that life is real and thats shes real and I’m real and nothings wrongs and stuff, i probably sounds crazy lmaoo maybe and the sucky thing is i don’t have a therapist or a thingy going on for me cause i don’t have a job and or insurance let alone.

Lost

I had like a really bad argument with my mom basically about her complaining about my “attitude” and “constant arrogance” like okay firstly 😭 yes i do have an attitude and am irritable but im not THAT bad 😭🙏 she was saying that im a “pest” and that “its not enjoyable to live with someone who makes other people miserable” like 😅🧍‍♀️ oh ☺️ and then i tell her that i know im struggling and that im going to therapy to try to get better and trying to possibly get a diagnosis and she says “your generation just wants something to deal with. You want something to be wrong with you. ‘Trying to get better’ isn’t good enough… would you be able to stand someone like yourself? You’re just choosing this antisocial, narcissistic behaviour and harass everyone… You need to pull yourself together. No matter how much effort we put into you, you will never be happy. You want some medicine? Some diagnosis? Because that will solve everything?” 😭😭😭 and the way she said “some medication”- she sounded so disgusted and appalled and now i feel ashamed… i mean im not officially diagnosed with ocd and it is never my intention to self diagnose- but im sorry its VERY obvious when you have ocd and know of ocd- its so distinct. Everything- the compulsions, reassurance, intrusive thoughts, themes, patterns, perfectionism- but she has me overthinking- what if i dont have ocd 😭 and ive just been lying to myself and everyone maybe its not ocd and im just sick in the head or trying to self sabotage- and especially when my supposed ocd is calm or not as loud i get so anxious “what if i dont have ocd…”
