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! 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!

Can you guys meditate or/and sit in silence?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!

can ocd make you question your mental health?
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?? 💔

Memory loss
Not necessarily asking for reassurance and I know I’ve mentioned this here before but my OCD has been affecting my cognition seemingly. I’ll forget small things or put things in odd places sometimes, or mix up words - things like that. Obviously this triggers me to be like “Alzheimers/dementia.” Can anyone relate? And if you recovered what did you do for it?
