I fear that my ocd will cause psychosis or that it already has..
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??
@Lilly2442! Yes ma’am I take Zoloft!
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
@Lilly2442! Yes! It does it sucks so bad! That’s the way I feel!
I feel the same way it’s so scary mine just started two months ago and I don’t know how to handle them.
@strongwoman1979 I understand! It’s very scary!
@0cD&ME_2O Hey how are you doing now??
