When I frustrated about this ringing in my ear and become even more louder

I've had sensorimotor obsessions for years now, including ear ringing. I had a bad bout with ear ringing obsession when I was twelves, and more or less struggled with blinking for a couple years now. The key is to not try to get rid of these obsessions when they come. Like when your mind focuses on the ringing, or the breathing, just observing it, for as long as it wants to stay. Learn to get comfortable with life while coexisting with this obsession, your goal isn't to get rid of it. It seems hard at first, but this acceptence gets easier with time. I have overcome this obsession before and honestly if handled correctly, it isn't so bad. Happy New year's!

I used to Have panic attacks as a child because I thought if My ear rang I was being possessed because the pressure in my ear would change. I think it's just the altitude I dont know but dont be scared ❤ it's normal. Breathe deeply when you hear your ear ring the ringing will stop. Dont freak out because you're "observing" the ringing . When it goes away continue on with whatever you were doing before it rang.

No offense but this is kinda bad advice for this type of ocd. When you have a sensorimotor obsessions, it doesn't go away. You brain is hyper aware and focused on something, and if you think about it, there's ringing in your ears all the time. The key is to accept it and not try to get rid of it

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.

I don't know what to do anymore, the fear of psychosis and schizophrenia is so bad in so hyper aware of everything I hear and everything I see, I've always had eye floaters now I convince myself that it's really me hallucinating, I've always had tinnitus but now I'm convinced it means I'm going to go crazy soon, I can't sit in quiet because all I'm focusing on is what I'm hearing, and searching for any sounds I can't distinguish, when there's background noise I get so anxious if I think I heard something but im not sure I did or I'm just anxious, I'm terrified I'll start having delusions and sometimes my brain confuses some sounds for other sounds for example say I'm hyper focused and I breathe and my nose makes a whistling sound my mind interprets it as a scream and I freak out thinking I'm hallucinating only to focus closer and realize it's my own breathing, earlier I was so anxious that I couldnt tell if I had an intrusive thought or heard something, I don't know how to make it stop, I've been through this theme before I just forgot how hard it was I'm having a panic attack please help
