question
Not reassurance seeking but is it possible to feel so overwhelmed by your thoughts that you feel like you are going insane š«

I feel the same way, having harm thoughts around the ones that I love and are the closest to me. Feels like you are going insane. This is OCD and you need to fight the compulsions, mine are mostly rumination and over analyzing. Donāt do any compulsions, physical or mental.

Feeling this right now, itās almost like you feel like you need to do something but you donāt know what youāre supposed to be doing, like something is wrong, but you donāt know what, so you donāt know how to fix it

@Anonymous Exactly - I have felt like I need to āthink something all the way throughā and if I donāt, wellā¦ something bad will happen. Hate it - but true itās obsessions and the best think we can do in the moment is refocus

Yes! Sometimes so much noise and sounds and images and strings of conversation and radio static and just like so much going on in my head I want to scream ābe quiet!!ā Itās the worse and made me feel like Iām going to lose it.

@Anonymous OCD feels as real as it can get. I struggle with harm OCD and have this same fear of losing control. Disregard all thoughts, feelings, sensations over and over again and slowly itāll get better

can ocd make you question your mental health?
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, iāve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and itās very distressing. i feel like the hyper awareness makes me afraid of things? like for some reason, my mind attached to cartoons, and i was hyperfocusing on it, and got extremely scared, like scared of the cartoon for no reason? iāve done this a lot, and i get scared i have psychosis or schizophrenia, or something that makes you afraid of things for no unknown reason. i feel so scared that this is my new normalā¦. im heartbroken. so many what ifās. did i just ruin my own life?? š

Anyone else has this happen?
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and donāt have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit šš I feel like even when Iām not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh š«
