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
You are very kind and it means a lot.
Wow 25 years! You’re a warrior! My life feels over and I’ve only had OCD for 5 years.

Thanks for replying, Are you having therapy? What are your symptoms? Hope you are doing ok.
@Rita D. OCD can be really cruel. Stay strong and hope things get better soon
what makes you think you schizophrenia?
I have lots of harm thoughts that feel real. I head feels weird like it's fizzy. I can't remember anything. I can't focus on anything. I don't want to engage with anyone. I cannot sleep.
@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
@ZeeIsNotOkay Thank you. Do you recommend anyone?
@tenby I don’t do therapy via NOCD so no I’m afraid not
@ZeeIsNotOkay Thanks - hope you are doing ok
@tenby Likewise 🩷
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?
@tenby Yeah first you need to go and talk to a professional ocd is so hard that You need all the help You can get
Hello, I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD at 25 years old. I attributed my overthinking to autism but I realised a few months ago that Pure O OCD is the most meaningful explanation for it. I am also an asexual, so I am, simply put, a shitshow of symptoms. I constantly review the past - particularly painful memories. I have a consistent fear of getting cancelled. When I was 18, some YouTubers I followed got accused of sexual misconduct and cancelled. I was obsessed and concerned for them. Others found my obsession strange. I did not like how their lives were ruined over accusation and no trial. (I was naive then to why public accusations are happening, as it is because the legal system often fails to address predatory men.) Even 6 years later, I googled one of them 240 times between January 2020 and April 2020. It was plain obsessive. When I burned bridges, I continued to search the people involved in my past dramas. Often multiple times in the same day with nothing new to see. They would likely be scared if they knew how obsessed I was with them. I have started doing ERP exercises. I wrote a script where I receive public false allegations and my life is ruined. It is forever googleable and I am a complete pariah. Completely unemployable, unliveable, even my family abandons me. I listen to it for 15 minutes on loop per day. What else would you recommend to tackle the ruminating? I wish I had this information at 18. I should have been solving these issues then and enjoying my life, not figuring it all out so much later in life.
Good morning to all. I have OCD and have had it since high school. However, I was not formed diagnosed until 2003, when I was 45 . I have a psychiatrist and Licensed therapist, and have been on Zoloft/sertraline ever since. Currently I have to have cataract surgery in a few weeks and I am very anxious about the whole thing. Of course this has been a trigger for my OCD and dealing with it the best I can. Any thoughts ?
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!
