I am really getting sick of this psychosis obsession. I don’t even know what’s happening around me anymore because I am so focused on it. I was convinced somebody was in the fan last night (not convinced, I knew their wasn’t logically but... you catch my drift) and I can’t seem to find anyone who has had these specific thoughts, so therefore I must be experiencing psychosis. I also have been hearing stuff as I’m falling asleep. I just can’t move on from this one. I don’t know what to do anymore. I hate being alone.

Ah awesome! I thought I was alone in this. Like my ears feel like they are on fire. It’s awful. And the bizzare thoughts like what if someone is here with me or what if my inner voice is actually a voice. It’s a freaking nightmare and it makes me feel better knowing I’m not alone. I’ve had this fear before back when I lived in London, but I’ve just moved to the states and I think being completely alone is bringing this fear back ten fold. I feel completely at a loss. It’s not so bad when I’m not alone.

I know exactly what this is like, I get the same kind of thoughts. Like I’m so paranoid about getting paranoid, I’ll question all my thoughts and things I hear. Last night a lady was at my door and my instant thought went to “she’s stalking you” logically I know that’s not true but since it’s a symptom of psychosis to be paranoid it freaks me out. I’m struggling with it hardcore rn

I’ve been dealing with this for a while now, I get a lot of physical symptoms. My ears are super sensitive to noise and I get dizzy and I get depersonalisation which does not help at all. But when it comes to the thoughts I try and just remind myself that I’ve been fearing this for a long time and it still hasn’t happened. I still don’t believe crazy things and I haven’t actually heard things. I know it sounds hard and it is because I still struggle with it but this is just something that’s kept me going, that I’ve never actually heard things I’ve just been very sensitive to noise and Ocd attacks your fears. This is a real fear for me so therefore it’ll convince me it’s happening

I understand all that ❤️ it’s so much better when you realise someone experiences the same thing because I couldn’t find anyone who was feeling what I was feeling and it is so scary

i have stuck thoughts...uts a question of steain brain..straining to hyperfocus on proem solving

I also struggle to find people who experience the same thing as me so you’re not alone in that either!!

I’m going through this as well. My thoughts are really bizarre and weird as well as sometimes I get like paranoid intrusive thoughts that I know are not logical or true but it’s like my brain for a split second believes it and then im overwhelmed with a sense of anxiety because I start to think I’m going insane or I’m developing schizophrenia. It’s so convincing I really sometimes doubt I have OCD and it’s something more. I have had this fear off and on for the last couple of years and I know how frustrating it is. You are not alone. Thinking of you. ❤️

ok i understand, i did not know that.... maybe get a checkup so you can work on your ocd and leave the schiz fear behind... ocd loves to mimic stuff like schiz or so... classic ocd in my eyes

for me ... requires breathing through it..

focus on distraction and breath

But do you ever have thoughts like that?

I have had thoughts like this myself but have never had any certain diagnosis. It feels like I've had night terrors while totally awake. Yet when I had night terrors I was also co oletely calm, logically so

Why is everybody scared about schizophrenia... people live good lifes with this illness, ocd i find tough and is not a much better diagnosis....

it is for sure, but very tretable
