Losing control
Does anyone deal with the feeling like they're about to lose control or go crazy. It's really upsetting and hard to deal with, especially since it ties into multiple themes for me.

I get this often. My mind will even put distressing disturbing images in my head and tell me that I’m going insane. Or like “psychosis” and it makes me feel so upset and anxious. You aren’t alone, just let it pass by and think about a comfort movie to watch

Definitely. I had a really bad panic attack in 98. Felt like I was going to lose my mind. Now when anxiety OCD breaks through that is my theme and u an with you it is so scarey. All I can say is I can go year or so without it and it rears it's head if I am super stressed or have had the flu. Easier said than done but if you can try to stay engaged meaning phone a friend or family member, go for a walk, go exercise, go the mall something to try to take your mind off your thoughts. A mantra that helps me that I learned from someone else is thoughts only thoughts.

Yes I have a fear of schizo and my theme is that. When I get anxious or have a panic attack I think I’m losing control and it causes so much anxiety. I feel like I will lose control any minute and it just causes so much fear and hyper vigilance from me:(

Anyone else?
Anyone else have the fear of blacking out/having a psychotic break and harming others or myself/having no control of your body? Any tips on how to deal with this or anyone who’s recovered from this? It’s probably been my worst yet - the fear of having no control over my body or my actions.

What should I do guys?
I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.

existential crisis
Really bad theme right now is death, I keep thinking about how one day or at any moment my heart will stop my brain will stop & my memories & everything I know will all fade away. It is giving me so much anxiety I’m only 18, but I realize it all happens to us it is bound, we are born to die. I know it’s a silly thing to be scared because it’s not helping the quality of my life worrying about it and even when I do die, I won’t care , if you don’t have a working brain then how can you care 🤷♀️. It is tainting my everyday life currently & honestly making me terribly depressed & it is giving me derealization & making me feel nihilistic, I’ll remind myself it’s okay but then with my ocd i don’t stop thinking and thinking about it and it’s seriously so hard to stay present in the moment because this thought just feels like I can’t scrub it away it’s miserable I struggle with religion, but I do pray to anything that’s out there possibly listening, because it is comforting, it just feels like this whole experience Is pointless & I am afraid of the unknown and what is to possibly happen but I’m subjected to it anyways so why should it matter
