Psychosis
Had anybody ever suffered a psychosis episode?

Its probably not psychosis by definition like schizophrenia or mania where you are having delusional thinking or hearing things, etc. Its likely severe depression or severe anxiety/panic. Ocd can absolutely cause that. Its just becoming more understood nowadays.
I've had psychosis due to a Xanax and fentanyl episode. I had a seizure at 1st then then days after I suffered a psychosis episode I was having hallucinations and delusional and ended up being dragged by a moving vehicle and was hospitalized. Both for the seizure and after psychosis. After this I started having groinals to men , and I started to think I was gay . Then I was diagnosed with ocd. I think I have hocd but I'm not sure
Due to a Xanax and fentanyl withdrawal
@Anonymous I took paxil for years and when i went off of it my libido went through the roof lol. Especially with all the shit out there on the internet. So dont let the fact that you have a strong libido make you think youre gay. Its just your hormones rockin. Im sure you love women more.
Does this have anything to do with being gay !
@Anonymous Sexual orientation ocd is usually a case of a heterosexual person reacting to some type of sexual stimuli leading them to believe they might be gay. Bottom line is that when someone is overwhelmingly concerned or obsessed that they are gay it is most likely they are not. Just tell yourself that you have OCD and its going to tell you things that are untrue.
Yep. It’s terrifying.
Thanks for your feedback . Did u think u were gay after it happened ?
@Anonymous No. I just absolutely dissociated and nothing felt real. Thankfully, I was able to take a benzodiazepine and fall asleep.
Many times.
What is that?
You'll have to look it up it's a lot to explain
Oh well after mine. I had gay feelings
I think I am developing symptoms of psychosis due to my OCD being way worse than usual lately. I constantly think everyone is out to get me or “catch me doing something wrong” even though I’m not doing anything wrong.
No gay feelings ?
@Anonymous No. I don’t think feeling gay relates to psychosis. You might just be deeply anxious about being gay
@CoolestCrocodilian U don't think I could have hocd ?
@Anonymous You could, but idk you. I know having OCD can’t make you gay. I just don’t believe that’s how sexuality works. With what you have described so far, I don’t believe you experienced psychosis (at least not what is typically described when talking about it), but perhaps severe paranoia and panic about having gay thoughts, perhaps even intrusive gay thoughts, but not likely to be psychosis as a whole..
@CoolestCrocodilian I've had psychosis episode before the groinals . Or at least when I noticed them , I was walking down the street in the freezing cold with no shoes I was having thoughts that people were escaping Earth and I had to save the world with the vibration of music
@Anonymous I think you misspoke in your reply because some of that doesn’t make grammatical sense and I’m most likely reading it wrong, but anyway, unless you were having delusions of being gay, doing something sexual with someone of the same sex, or anything remotely related to being gay, then your issues with psychosis is related to your anxiety about being gay. You most likely are experiencing HOCD if you are obsessively worrying about being perceived as gay, or accidentally doing something that could make you seem gay, but psychosis and OCD aren’t the same. OCD can sometimes develop further into symptoms of psychosis, like extreme paranoia and delusions, but that’s when things get extreme
@Anonymous I read that a groinal response to intrusive thoughts is something your body cannot help most times. You will react accordingly to situations where your body is “stimulated”, but this doesn’t mean you enjoyed it, or want more of it. It is just a natural reaction your body gives. Like pulling your hand from a hot stove or reacting to seeing something gross by cringing. This does seem like a sign of HOCD in a way
Kinda like if youve watched the show hoarders and seen some cases so bad you would think theyre psychotic. Theyre likely not psychotic, but suffering very severe compulsive hoarding.
Does this have to do with anything about me feeling gay
Recently ive had ocd thoughts that are really weird and make no sense (they sound like thoughts that someone would have if they were in physcosis eg. What if trump can communicate with you through your head) like what??? Sometimes it feels like i believe it??? Which stresses me out and im constantly worried that im going through physcosis since i sort of belive it? I know deep down its ridiculous but it almost feels like i believe it?? Im scared. Like sometimes im calm with the thought. Im like oh okay maybe. Then sometimes my brain tries to imagine him like talking to me through my head??? Am i going through physcosis.??
Hi everyone I’m new here and well today was a very hard day for me… so a couple months ago out of no where my brain just went poof literally to not get so much into detail I experienced a lot of things but during that whole process I developed intrusive thoughts of hurting my self or others its been going on since December I knew someThing was off so I went for professional help Ive been working very hard in recovering now those intrusive thoughts aren’t the problem as much because I figured out what was the trigger (I think) but now it’s more obsessing over religion and spirituality and what’s real and what’s not and it makes me panic and creates panic attacks and just kind of makes my episodes a lot worst… so I would like to know if anyone has experienced this? How do get through it? How do you talk yourself out of it?
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.
