New obsessions unlocked
Hi is anyone suffering with this subtype of OCD fearing they will become schizophrenic and hear and see things or become possessed. I’m terrified right now. I feel so alone on this one.

It's very common, I've had it and many other people too. Stay strong, remember that if you were schizophrenic you wouldn't be able to know. So the fact that you're Hyper aware of that possibility means you're not
@Lollipop 🍭 Lollipop it just so hard especially the one about being possessed i guess that is a manifestation of not being able to control my thoughts though. :(
It’s very common.
@Nica I don’t think i can get through this one
I've had the possession theme. Scary! OCD attaches to who and what you value...and what you fear. You're not schizophrenic and you're not going to need an exorcist. You have OCD. Are you in OCD therapy?
I have this them and it’s flared up and it’s so scary
I don’t know what to do, I feel so lost and feel like I’m losing my mind… I don’t know what to do, I am still getting the terrible thoughts of “God is telling you to kill someone” and I’m literally mid panic attack, I keep trying to reason with logic because it even says in the 10 commandments “thou shall not murder.” So I don’t even know why I’m getting these thoughts… ugh… people say that intrusive thoughts trigger things you care about the most, which mine would be Jesus & the people around me, which is why I get the harm OCD about people I care about the most.. someone recently said that I could be schizophrenic and now I’m terribly worried that I could have that.. I am so terribly afraid of becoming “crazy” and doing horrible things… can someone please give me tips to help this, and or message me?
Hi everyone. So recently I have been feeling so scared and paranoid of going crazy. I am terrified of i will go crazy and turn schizo. I’m so hyper aware of everything. My mind convinces me that I will end up like this but I really don’t want to.It’s my biggest fear and I think abt it almost everyday and I can’t handle it anymore. I just want to be ok. I have told my parents this and they say it’s all in my head and just laugh at me. I know it’s in my head but I physically feel sick to my stomach being constantly scared. Please someone help me please please. Thank you.
Yesterday I convinced myself that the station was going to explode and that I would be the reason for it. I was sat in the station inside my head with my head telling me every 30 minutes the place was going to explode. I was beyond distraught. I have never felt fear like this before, In reality I knew it wasn’t going to happen but in my head it felt beyond real. I was sat there thinking I was going to die there along side my partner and 100s of innocent people. I’m traumatised by the experience. Convincing yourself of stuff like this is beyond terrifying. What things have you convinced yourself of that are not real? Like I feel alone on this one and don’t understand how a diagnosis of OCD can cause such thoughts and will be asking my psychiatrist again that I don’t have schizophrenia or psychosis. Why does my head do this
