Anyone else have the fear of blacking out/having a psychotic break and harming others or myself/having no control of your body? Any tips on how to deal with this or anyone who’s recovered from this? It’s probably been my worst yet - the fear of having no control over my body or my actions.
I’ve dealt with this 4 years ago and it hasn’t bothered me since! You literally just gotta accept that technically anything could happen. It sucks but it works!
@roarytorii 🌸 Thank you so much for your reply!!
@roarytorii 🌸 i have faced this fear for 9 years. and i have never faced the fear of being out of control in fact i have fighted against it and purposely forcing myself to forgot it. but you can see this is what NOT to do as it made my fear worse. you dealt with it for 4 years and can accept it. i wish i can do this easy but after 9 years of resisting its not going to be easy
worst fear ever i have had this fear for 9 years now still have not managed to beat it still in the same position i was in 2015 i cannot believe that soon in 2025 this fear would be 10 years old. i avoid everything that triggers the fear of being out of control and if i get reminded i feel my heart beating out of my chest, i start shaking like cold snowman☃️ my guts feel if they are coming out. i have fighted against the fear for 9 years now. i know this is not the way forward and i understand how you feel i am with you
I have also had this fear :(
Dude, yes. It’s so scary but I promise you’re not alone. My OCD now focuses on a different theme than this now but I used to be very similar. The best thing you can do is try to ignore it, OCD is a massive bully and thrives off of fear, doubt, and uncertainty. Remind yourself that your fears/thoughts are not a reflection of your true desires or something that would actually happen. If you feel like these thoughts are becoming too difficult to manage, finding a therapist that specializes in OCD is a good step! I wish you the best, you got this! 🫶
@caitybee22 Thank you so much!!! 🫂🥹
I have the same fears. Everyday I think I’m on the verge of snapping or doing something I don’t want to do. It causes so much anxiety. I feel I can never be calm or relaxed.
Does anyone else get the theme of fear of going crazy or into a psychosis ? I’ve been having that fear lately and it has been the worse ever. I’ve never had these thoughts before and I don’t know what triggered them that they won’t go way. I couldn’t eat for days from how scared I was of these thoughts. I keep having intrusive thoughts like what if you’re imagining it for example I was at TJ Maxx with my mom and I was looking for her and when I saw her a thought popped into my head like “what if that’s not her and your imagining it” it was so scary that I wanted to cry. Of course apart of me knows that’s not true but the thoughts keep popping up. I’m so scared and just want to be myself again. So if anyone has gone through this theme can you please tell me what helped you. I’ve also struggled with harm ocd, suicidal ocd and a lot of health anxiety. I can’t afford therapy so if yall have any recommendations on what helped your ocd please let me know. I’m so tired and feel so helpless. I want my life back.
I am so so upset and anxious right now. At this point I badly need reassurance as Im feeling a whole panic attack coming on. Has anyone ever had the feeling in their head and body like they are actually going to act on a terrible harm related intrusive thought like it actually feels like you are. Im scared as fuck i dont know what to do because What if i actually do that i am so scared does it ever feel like your on the edge of doing it and you get this whole intrusive urge in your body PLEASE REPLY please tell me experiences
Does your ocd ever start to tell you that you’re having a psychotic break? I have such a hard time telling what are ocd thoughts and what are real thoughts as it is. But now my newest ocd thought is that I’m losing my mind. Please tell me I’m not alone in this!!
