I have this a lot as well as really upsetting harm thoughts. The combination of the two is really difficult to deal with. I keep feeling like I'm going to be locked up and won't see my family. I wish I could offer you some good advice but I'm struggling myself. I basically worry that after 20 years of OCD I have developed schizophrenia. When I used to have OCD thoughts before I would think to myself "it's just OCD" but now that doesn't work.

@tenby Same!! I used to not feel like this and could deal with the thoughts. But now with this fear I can’t. It feels all to real

@tenby Oh my goodness, you sound just like me!!! My ocd has been going on since before my teens and it's exhausting.

@0cD&ME_20 The fear is horrendous, I'm not sleeping well, I get headaches and feel irritable which then just makes me feel like a horrible person and then I worry that I have something terrible. Would love to know how to get out of this loop.

@tenby Me too! It absolutely sucks! It also sucks being home by myself with my babies. Especially since my ocd is attached to them! It scares the living crap out of me! I got triggered at the store earlier because of all the chatter going on making me think i was hearing whispers. The fan being on makes me think so too or the air kicking on. I’m constantly double checking to make sure I’m hearing things right. Or I’ll here a certain sound and my brain will make up a word that it sounded likea usually a word that goes with my theme. It just sucks!!

@0cD&ME_20 Yes I currently experience Audio pareidolia in fans it’s a common phenomenon in white noise or specially fans and I only realized because of this schizophrenia theme. I was constantly scanning to find a problem and because of this I am constantly hyper aware of noise and every noise I hear actually triggers a anxious response because of the audio pareidolia this theme is so horrible. It feels so real. Are you on meds??

This theme definitely feels so real. I’ve had harm ocd but this THEME IS HORRIBLE. I constantly think I’m going to start seeing things or hearing things any minute especially when my anxiety is high or I have a panic attack

Medication for 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 ?

fear of psy. and sci.
does anyone else have an intense fear of developing schizophrenia or psychosis. This has been a really heavy theme for me as well. I’m constantly checking to see if I have symptoms or if I’m gonna go crazy or develop these. it’s so scary.
