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!
I’ve been diagnosed with ocd. I first started off with harm ocd.when I got over it, it started switching into new themes. Every week I’d have to deal with a new thought/fear. And now i feel like im stuck again! Im not sure what type of ocd im going through right now. But im scared of hallucinating. Im scared of hearing things that aren’t there. So that caused me to be hyper aware of every sound I hear. And I now focus on white noises so much ( like AC, fridge, water pipes, the tv when it’s far away etc.) and I start to question my sister: can you hear that ? Because I’m super scared the I’m hallucinating. But usually she’ll answer with yes she can hear it. But I’ve been struggling with something else too. I sleep with the AC on and I’ve been doing for years. But during the past month that caused me so much stress and anxiety. Because I feel like whenever the AC is on I hear other things (not people talk or words or specific things) just unclear sounds. And I’m not sure if that’s in my head or it’s actually there but because the AC sound loud I can’t recognize the other sounds im hearing. And I get so anxious when I try to sleep because everything is so quiet and it’s just me and the AC on. So I feel like everything is loud. And I don’t know if the unclear sounds are in my head or real. And yesterday when I tried to sleep a police car went by and the siren of it was loud too. I focused on the sound. And questioned if it’s real or not. Then I started hearing the siren non stop for 3 minutes probably. Even though I’m sure the police car went by. So I was scared and terrified that I was hallucinating. And now I’m just scared that what if I’m not hyper aware ocd. What if I’m schizophrenic. What if I’m going crazy. I’m so scared. And I’m worrying that this will happen again if I go to sleep tonight. Someone help me please and give me advice!
Hi everyone.! My name is Nick. I’m 29 and was diagnosed with ocd about a month ago and a half ago. Ever since 16, I helped my cousin who is diagnosed with schizophrenia. Also, I managed a psychology office/ clinic near my house up until 2 months ago. I get intrusive thoughts about me believing in one of the delusions that I heard while helping my cousin and with the patients I worked with. I heard everything from people thinking they needed to urgently flee to another area in the world to thinking the government is controlling the weather, air supply etc. I heard so much and my intrusive thoughts of me believing these things and losing control feels so real. Has anyone else ever had fear of psychosis? Thanks 😊
