fear of psychosis

hi there. I know how you feel. maybe I’m assuming, but when you are attached to something you’ve had your whole life (especially if you haven’t had life-long friends) ir can be intimidating. I think it’s more a reflection of how you see yourself. Your brain is thinking “if I watched myself my whole life, would I like what I saw?” And attributing it to the teddy bears. And it seems you aren’t feeling good about your life thus far, so you jump to the conclusion that “they” don’t like you. again, I am not a professional, but this could be a reflection of yourself

and the psychosis thing is something your ocd has latched onto. you are not “crazy” for thinking these thoughts. Now that you have introduced the possibility of psychosis (another reason to worry or dislike yourself) your brain might have trouble letting it go. As humans we attribute meaning to many things and objects. You are ok

Hey there. I am 22 years old, and I have still a couple stuffed dogs that I loved as a kid. I want to start by saying that this is not silly at all; your extreme attachment (caring for them when they were "sick," caring what they think of you even though they cannot even think) is a strong indicator against psychosis. Rather, you simply sound like a highly sensitive, compassionate person who even cares deeply when what you are caring for will never thank you for or acknowledge your care. If they bother you deeply, try placing them in a small box for a while while your process it out, then bring them back once you are calmer. Hope this helps. 😊

I’m sorry, I don’t know if this helps in any way, but I also worry that I have psychosis and schizophrenia! Been worrying about it for years

I think it’s normal to worry about those things when you have OCD I’ve done the same thing and I cannot watch that case it triggers me so bad and my OCD latched on if I were you, I would avoid watching those things

I had this when I was little too and to be honest still sometimes do(im23) but I’ve always felt bad when people would throw their things especially toys. I would feel like they were hurting them and I would’ve never thrown any of my stuff animals like ever. So know you are not alone but. The fact that you realise that it sounds kinda unusual and YOU KNOW they are just toys and still feel bad is what makes the difference between ocd and psychosis. If it was psychosis the slightest thought of it sounding ridiculous wouldn’t even occur to you. So no psychosis, but this stupid ocd that makes you question your life everyday. You got this!
