The thoughts you’re having are also typical ocd thoughts/ fears. You have to treat them like any other obsession. My personal favorite technique is to use “maybe” phrases. (Ie. Maybe I’m going crazy, maybe I have (insert fear) etc. and sit with the anxiety until the thoughts make their way to the trash, where they deserve to be. :)

Thank you all for responding! I will work on letting those thoughts just be and treat them like any other OCD thought. It’s so frustrating and scary but I will push through. Thank you all again?

Same with me. They can be violent thoughts for me too that I’ve been struggling with for a while now. Do you have a therapist or physiologist? You should go talk about it to them and see if you can have meds for it.

I don’t have a ocd therapist and most of them probably need to pay

@GummyDrop Hmm not really sure? I had those thoughts for a really long time now. My therapist doesn’t really bring them up though. You can talk to me if you want to or are comfortable with it. Since we relate

@hannie i struggled this summer- daily and intensely- with the obsession that i might have schizophrenia or be about to develop it. i’m here if you need to talk and you’re not alone. Chrissie Hodges on youtube has a video about this exact obsession

Thank you so much. Did you ever experience like fake delusions? Like you would get an intrusive thought about something bizarre and think like “what if I believe it for real?”.I am struggling so bad at the moment with that. I feel like I’m going crazy. Thank you again for responding! ?

@hannie yes! i would worry that an obsession or a thought was actually delusional and always be trying to figure out how much i believed it. i also sometimes worried that perceptual experiences were actually hallucinations or ghat i was losing touch with reality in some other way. you’re not alone ❤️

@Audrey11 That is exactly what I am going through at the moment. It’s so scary cause I spend my time thinking “oh my gosh, that thought is not normal, maybe it’s a delusion.” “Do I really believe it?” Then those intrusive thoughts play over and over until I start to panic because I think I believe then even though I know they sound crazy. I also have had a fear of losing touch with reality cause of how bizarre my thoughts are. It’s really scary.

Can someone give me advice?
I’m not too sure where to begin so some stuff may be a bit scattered. I’d like to start with the fact that I’m not sure if I just have anxiety or if it is actually OCD. I’ve been dealing with these intrusive thoughts for as long as I can remember. TRIGGER WARNING NEXT PARAGRAPH Stuff like “what if my teacher just raped me in the middle of class” or “what if I pulled all my veins at.” Those are some of the more graphic and violent things but I do get lesser things like “what if I imagined that whole conversation” when I know for a fact I did experience that exact memory/conversation. I don’t like these thoughts and I don’t ever want to think them. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I’m only 16 and I want to be sure about this stuff before I ask my parents to get me diagnosed.

Physcosis ocd??
Recently ive had ocd thoughts that are really weird and make no sense (they sound like thoughts that someone would have if they were in physcosis eg. What if trump can communicate with you through your head) like what??? Sometimes it feels like i believe it??? Which stresses me out and im constantly worried that im going through physcosis since i sort of belive it? I know deep down its ridiculous but it almost feels like i believe it?? Im scared. Like sometimes im calm with the thought. Im like oh okay maybe. Then sometimes my brain tries to imagine him like talking to me through my head??? Am i going through physcosis.??

Paranoia
Paranoia… I need to know because I’m feeling very alone in this. I’ve never met someone with the level of paranoia that I have. I can logically explain things to myself and somehow my paranoia convinces me of another story. I’m constantly thinking exaggerated thoughts that there are so many scary possibilities. Am I alone in this or what? If so any suggestions on how to calm these thoughts
