Question

What are your triggers if you don't mind me asking

@Anonymous It started when my latest ocd theme of harm ocd started - along the lines of “why would I lose control and hurt someone? I’m not psychotic, wait what if I am psychotic?” And then I start over analysing everything I do and think. I question what I hear, what I see etc. it’s also hard to shake because even though I’m in my forties and have had ocd since I was a child, these themes are new and my thoughts seem so ‘mad’ and utterly awful it feels like psychosis could be likely even though I rationally know I’m not psychotic.

@Shi47 Oh and I also forgot that another trigger is what happens when I’m half awake l, half asleep eg when not waken by an alarm- these are awful. They’re even called hallucinations (hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations) and even though they have nothing to do with psychosis they still scare me.
