My therapist told me to look at this website. I saw this and it kind of triggered me because being “psychotic” is a big fear of mine with OCD. I also don’t have many compulsions they’re usually all mental compulsions. I’m just worried because I have extreme harm thoughts and have always had fears and feelings of losing control and it does not say how this is different from ocd. Does anyone have any insight?
Don’t worry about this. A lot of times we get an “OCD fear” of psychotic disorders. This is not a real fear, based in truth. It is an OCD fear. The OCD will want to spin you up about this. Don’t worry! Everything is okay. Just keep going forward in treating your OCD.
Hey GM, I could feel the panic reading though your post as those thoughts raced through my mind. What the website says, the "strange or bizarre thoughts", isn't the definition of psychosis or schizophrenia. It's only commonality. In fact, that's the only similarity they share. Schizophrenia is something completely different from OCD.
