Schizophrenia
I'm sure that after 25 years of OCD I have developed schizophrenia. What do I do?

Trust me, I understand this feeling very fucking well Sometimes I feel like I'm on the brink of insanity, my paranoia and compulsions of superstitious things But according to a social security lady that interviewed me, I just have alot of anxiety and it just causes these things to happen Just know you aren't alone, I've had ocd for..maybe 10 years and feels like I'm losing touch with my sanity You're not alone, take care of yourself bud

@tenby This sounds like your ocd has just really gotten to you. Are you seeing a doctor/therapist for it? I think you could benefit from some compassionate therapy work

Are you in meds? You can talk to your psychiatrist first

No I always just managed my OCD. Should I see a psychiatrist with OCD expertise? Or do I assume the worse?

Need help starting!!!!!
This my first post and frankly I am so scared. I was diagnosed with OCD as my first diagnosis, at only 10 years old. Ever since, my OCD has COMPLETELY overtaken my mind and actions. Im scared that if I ever get my OCD figured out and under control, I may loose a part of myself, because its so familiar to me and all Ive ever known. As someone who is ready to tackle their extreme OCD thinking, where should I start? I am open to any/all suggestions. PLEASE leave any advice that you recommend and that has benefited you in your own journey!!!! Thanks!

Can severe chronic ocd atrophy the brain?
Can it? I've had it for 5 years, not just in the background, fully severe and acutely crippling. I can hardly go through life, my memory and cognition are very poor, I struggle with comprehension and have difficulty thinking clearly or having conversations to people about everyday things. Like I can only narrate my ocd thoughts in my head, regular thoughts take too much brain power to think about. I have very high anxiety and depressive feelings also. I'm just worried my brain is structurally changed from this ongoing traumatic experiencs and when I'm in my late 30s or 40s it's going to evolve into neurodegenerative diseases. I want to get a brain scan done and see if everything is alright. What kind of doctor or tests would show me that?

Is schizo ocd a thing?
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 🙏🏻
