When I had schizophrenic ocd I thought I was hearing voices, so yes ocd can convince of a lot of things. Convinced me I’m a narcissist no matter what anyone said, when I’m very much so not, actually the opposite lol.

I’ve had that too where I thought I was hearing things. It’s so hard that when my anxiety is bad it feels like I’m losing my mind.

@ruminating_redhead I’ve had that before. It was only for a while. My strongest theme is HOCD, but I’ve had others for short periods of tine

@annehatesocd I’m dealing with HOCD currently too. But the fear of schizophrenia puts in the this weird off feeling. I just hate it

Harm ocd? Or homosexual ocd? And I feel I obsess about the weirdest thing

I’ve had both. Harm ocd was my one of my first themes and have since mostly gotten over it. Homosexual ocd is what’s getting me down lately

This is one of my biggest ocd themes and many of my thoughts revolve around delusions so you aren’t alone there. Its common with this theme. It’s a tricky theme to handle alone and I kinda am. I won’t take meds anymore because I had a personal issue with them but it has to do with my psychiatrist and my brain. I dont want to trigger you with my experience because we are all truly unique when it comes to meds.

How are tou handling it alone?? I tell myself that it just isn’t true and try to get over my odd thoughts. I’m afraid if I go on an SSRI, or some kinds of AD, it will cause true delusions.

@ruminating_redhead It’s kinda difficult I have a therapist but she’s not the most experienced with ocd. It’s not my biggest ocd theme at the moment. Medicine rarely causes things like that but I would voice your concerns with your doctor never online. And if you ever decide to start don’t look into side effects that much I did that and ended up worse.

@lulu23 Oh man, we sound one in the same. I’m too seeing a counselor that doesn’t seem to recognize ocd like I thought maybe she would. So that’s making it difficult. And I too started meds but stopped taking them on day three because I looked too far into people stories and side effecfs

@ruminating_redhead Well good thing you stopped after three days but if you try again don’t stop suddenly without talking to a doc. My psych let me quit cold turkey after a month and it created some of the worst times of my life. I’m working on getting over it still a month later. I will say that when I took it the first time I was seeing a different doctor who tapered me off my meds correctly and nothing ever happened

@lulu23 I was worried about stopping cold turkey, but it was only after three days so I felt i would be okay. I’m sorry you’re going through withdrawing from the meds. I have heard that is no fun.

@ruminating_redhead Thank you it’s tough but it’s ok I’m trying to stay strong and help others here while I deal with my struggles. And yea three days isn’t something I would worry about I hope we can both overcome this but for now just know you aren’t alone in your struggles.

I have been having these fears about developing schizophrenia, it reached a point where i am starting to almost hear things or the smallest sounds and my mind tells me you're schizophrenic, and i feel this weird sensations in my ear as if someone is whispering yet i can barely hear them, the thing is i am not diagnosed yet because i never work with an OCD therapist but i study psychology so i just used what i learnt to give a meaning to my suffering, many themes of this fear have been happening before and this schizophrenia fear is the last one. I want to know what advice you can give me or ways to make my brain calm down a little bit, i also don't have and can't afford a therapist that's why i am here in the first place I also want to know more informations or experiences with this theme if anyone habe experienced it and what helped you with it I remember feeling better for a while but than i collapsed back, but i am hoping to get better soon too or anytime in the future, I don't want reassurance so make sure you be as real as you can, and thanks 🙏🏻

I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.

idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
