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:(

Magic ocd
I know this is insane but please, PLEASE hear me out. I just need someone to tell me they relate in some way or something. Does anyone else feel like they have some sort of 'magic' that they accidentally manifested from 'wishing' too hard during a traumatic time and can't feel like you can control it now, which is pretty anxiety inducing since it feels like it would make people be able to feel or see your ocd thoughts? Or use your muscle tensing as part of your ocd? Like if you have an intrusive thought while tensing a muscle, you feel like it's going to come true so you have to 'correct' it by thinking a good thought then tense your muscles again? Because I have both of them. :(

One after another after another
The thoughts are coming in like rapid fire. And I’ll be fine for a minute and they are back again the next minute. Scarier and more intense. It legit feels like I am losing my mind.

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.
