Racing, uncontrollable weird thoughts

Thoughts feel out of my control. I’ve been EXTREMELY stressed for the past month and I’ve developed some strange new symptoms. Lately I’ve been REALLY DEEP in the psychosis fear/theme rabbit hole, obsessing over thinking I might be in the prodromal stage of schizophrenia or something. Having panic attacks over it. During the day I’m having random gibberish strings of thoughts that make no sense or have any relevance to the task I’m doing. It is just completely random phrases or words or even songs snippets that I don’t even feel like I was consciously thinking of, they just come out of nowhere. It’s exactly the kind of nonsense thoughts you get just before you fall asleep or when you wake up. It is literally word salad/disorganized thinking. It’s terrifying me. They feel completely out of my control, I recognize that they are my own thoughts but they feel very alien and strange. It’s not 24/7 but it’s happening often. these symptoms are really freaking me out. On top of all this I’m getting intense depersonalization/de realization. Any kind words? Or anyone can relate?

Hey I’m experiencing this rn and I’m so scared. Can you tell me how long this lasted for you? I’m on day 3 and I’m not sure I can handle much more! You are the only person I’ve seen on here that has the same symptoms as me. So maybe you can help me some? My fear is psychosis and schizophrenia as well. I’m having a hard time even getting out of bed the past three days.

Every single post you’ve made the last 5 years, I have related to every symptom. I even started with health ocd and worring about my health or being allergic to everything and it all just got worse over time. I say every day I’d give anything just to go back when I only had anxiety. This shit Is horrible!

@This Ocd Life Sucks Hello, I’m currently in the midst of this theme still. I had this same thing about 2 years ago, it went away for about a year and now it’s back. I’ve been in the relapse about a month. I’ve been to literally dozens of psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists etc and every single one says this is the result of the fear of psychosis ocd theme and prolonged untreated severe anxiety.

@This Ocd Life Sucks Trust me, I know how hellish it is. I feel it’s not even comparable to any of my other ocd or health anxiety themes. It’s all mental torture.

@mrselfdestruct1994 Yes just severe ocd and anxiety. I’ve seen so many different psychiatrist and therapist and even made them admit me to the mental hospital because I swore I was losing it but nope said it was just ocd and anxiety.

@mrselfdestruct1994 Feel free to ask me anything. I don’t have anyone to talk to about this so I’m always looking for someone. Pretty sure my husband and family think I’m crazy! lol

@mrselfdestruct1994 Hey can you tell me how you got past this theme years ago when you had it? Like what did you do to get past it? This is so hard for me.
