I’m dealing with the exact same thing hannie, it can be absolutely petrifying sometimes. My brain can be very chatty sometimes, & I think what if one day I don’t interpret it as my own inner monologue! Also when I’m trying to fall asleep I have a lot of random words, phrases & sentences pop into my head when I’m half asleep. I think it’s because I’m so hyper aware of every single thought that goes through my head on bad days. As if I’m monitoring what goes through it in case it’s not normal per say. So any random thought or abstract image in my head gives me huge anxiety, as if I’m constantly on the verge of slipping into phycosis! It’s not nice.

I have had those things happen to me as well!! Sometimes random word even when I’m meditating. It has freaked me out so bad! I question every intrusive thought that goes through my head, making sure I don’t “believe it”. It’s so so exhausting. I don’t wish this disorder in anyone, but it’s nice to know we aren’t alone. I’m thinking of you and we will get through this. You are strong. Keep fighting. It’s just OCD trying to scare us because we don’t want to lose what is valuable to us (our sanity). We just have to not fight the thoughts or anxiety. Sending you positive thoughts?

Learning to accept something is scary. If you ended up having schizophrenia that’s ok also . There are ways to heal and adapt to all types of things . OCD Can co exist with other mental illness also . It’s like a spectrum . Usually ocd can make you think your going to go crazy I once would picture stabbing my sister or something terrifying and I was convinced that what if one day I snap . So I feel you . It’s to accept that your not a bad person those thoughts are simply thoughts not who you are . We can’t help what our minds bring up we just have to name this thought as a ocd thought

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I really appreciate it. I’m just gonna name them OCD thoughts cause that’s why they feel like. I’m gonna just deal with it and accept the uncertainty. It’s so hard but I’m gonna keep fighting.. thank you again❤️

Keep telling yourself you may or may not have schizophrenia and you'll have to deal with the uncertainty. Create an erp scenario around this.

does anyone else have this
i have such a fear of psychosis and schizophrenia, so i’m scared that i’m going to develop it and lose control over my OCD thoughts. If im very tired and my eyes get heavy i get so scared that im going to go crazy or that i have one or the other. and if i have a panic attack im convinced im going to develop it. does anyone have any tips on how to work though this? i saw a thing online that said people with these dont know the have it and that scared me into thinking i have it and dont know.

Confused about ocd
How to know if you actually have it or if I’m just making up the symptoms? I have a lot of intrusive thoughts constantly and even have a “theme” but it really surged after I search up what I was experiencing, but then again I search up a lot of what I experience and constantly have to recheck things. My parents say I’m normal but I know I’m not, (both of my siblings have adhd) I find it immensely hard to focus from turning 17-18. Please let me know what you think l! Thanks!

Knowing the difference
Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.
