Hallucinations
Does anyone have any mild auditory hallucinations with their OCD? I have OCD and anxiety with psychotic features.

Sometimes this can happen if you are laying down trying to go to sleep, and it’s actually a normal occurrence in a lot of people. It’s a part of the brain doing some crazy things while it’s starting to shut down for sleep. It happens to me occasionally.
Once in a blue moon, though it could be the PTSD more so the OCD. But either way, same reaction from me: none.
Yes . 🙌 I remember having those , I thought I was going crazy , but at the time I lived in a duplex and the duplex had another family in it so … I made myself think that it was a tv going on in their house
Yes! This happens alot whenever I'm about to sleep, typically an intrusive thoughts and imagery is combined with this. It usually happens in unfamiliar places, but sometimes it happens in familiar places like my parents home. It's a little scary, but I acknowledge what's going on, and try to get some rest. Thanks for sharing!
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.??
i have been diagnosed with OCD & generalized anxiety disorder. for some reason, i’ve been very hyper aware of everything. like the way i talk, the way i see the world, how certain things sound/look/feel, and it’s 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? i’ve 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 normal…. im heartbroken. so many what if’s. did i just ruin my own life?? 💔
I have been having these fears about developing schizophrenia, it reached a point where i am starting to almost hear things or the smallest sounds and my mind tells me you're schizophrenic, and i feel this weird sensations in my ear as if someone is whispering yet i can barely hear them, the thing is i am not diagnosed yet because i never work with an OCD therapist but i study psychology so i just used what i learnt to give a meaning to my suffering, many themes of this fear have been happening before and this schizophrenia fear is the last one. I want to know what advice you can give me or ways to make my brain calm down a little bit, i also don't have and can't afford a therapist that's why i am here in the first place I also want to know more informations or experiences with this theme if anyone habe experienced it and what helped you with it I remember feeling better for a while but than i collapsed back, but i am hoping to get better soon too or anytime in the future, I don't want reassurance so make sure you be as real as you can, and thanks 🙏🏻
