So scared of becoming delusional, does anyone else struggle with this? Is it possible for your intrusive thoughts to copy delusions? As well as thinking you believe the thought for. Split second? I’m also feeling like I’m losing touch with reality. Does anyone have advice. I’m scared this is the beginning of me losing my mind.

I had this really bad a few months ago and the not checking accepting has really helped me, I just say ‘I shall accept the uncertainty that I may be crazy’ it has really worked, I was constantly in fear that I was gradually going crazy and always checking which made me hyper aware which just made it worse. I promise it can get better just stop checking. I still get it from time to to time and just let the thought breeze by.

Thank you so much for the advice and taking the time to respond. I’m gonna work on the not checking if I’m crazy and ignore the intrusive thoughts.

Talking about it to the right people is best, sometimes you confide in the wrong people and they make fun of you behind your back it’s all just a learning process of who you can trust and who you can’t in some cases at least here you know everything is confidential.

Thank you all so much for responding. I appreciate all your advice! I was feeling so low. Like I’m gonna just lose everything. I have had this off and on for sure the past year and this time it came back full force. My mind like copies delusions I have seen or read before on forums. I just have to deal with the fact I might be because I really don’t know and just let it pass. You all are so strong and amazing. The fact that you guys just took the time to help me means so so much. We shall keep fighting???. You all are warriors!

I had this, its just fear of losing your mind so you keep checking if you're sane. Obviously me telling you you're sane isn't going to stop the checking. Your brain needs to be taught theres nothing to fear by you stopping checking. Your brain; check if im not going crazy You: no Your brain; sbjsshbbs what, CHECK, what if im going crazy You: nope Your brain; WTFFFF you: :) Your brain; oh maybe its fine Recovered.

Ye like Rachel said it's a difficult one to get rid of because you can never be 100% certain that you're not going insane and OCD loves playing on uncertainty. I'm having a bit of an episode today for the first time in a while and asking myself do i feel normal or like i used to, that somethings not right, could it be me losing my mind? I now know it's just my mind checking if i'm in danger and seeing if i'm reacting, aslong as i dont it will go but if i start checking then it will become a huge issue all over again.

In some case you might not be going crazy sometimes people are straight up mean
