I cant relate to these specific thoughts, but sometimes ocd can make you feel like you are “going crazy” do u fear these thoughts when You have them?? What is the fear associated with these thoughts?? If you have a family history of other mental illnesses I think it’s really important to see a therapist or atleast talk to your doctor.. you might want to rule out other mental illnesses... it’s possible you can have ocd and another mental illness... for example I am recovered from ocd (though it will always be there) and I have a generalized anxiety disorder both diagnosed... good luck! Hope things are easier for you soon!

Its nice to hear that uv gotten better :) and for example regarding hocd pocd those are things I get scared of my thoughts of being gay or a pedo but with the thoughts I meantioned in the post it’s not like I’m scared of them it’s more like a voice telling me eyerone is against me and that I’m always being watch alwaysss no matter where I am they feel less like reoccurring thoughts but more like voices convincing me that everyone is thinking about me and plotting against me. Then it triggers my ocd and I start analysing every person how they act things iv heard about them how they talk to me.

I’m not a health professional, but it seems like you might have ocd in combination with something else.... I think talking to your doctor and getting a therapist who can help rule out certain things is your best bet right now.. I’m sorry you are going through this it seems like it would be really hard! But you gotta seek some help! Therapists will usually just ask you some questions it’s pretty standard and easy! And then they can give you some treatment options! Good luck!

I don't know what exactly the symptoms are. Talking to as professional is your best bet at teasing it apart

Suffering from solipsism ocd where I think that everything around me is fake and that I’m stuck in a simulation as the only conscious being. I also have thoughts that there is a higher power that is controlling everything around me and that I’m the main character in a video game. Everyone and everything around me is an npc or generated to keep me in the “game”. This is the worst ocd theme that I’ve had to deal with thus far. Is there anybody else that has had this? and what ERP techniques can I use? Need some ideas. Thanks.

Hi guys! I had really bad harm ocd about 2 years ago and I went through therapy and eventually got really good at handling it when it would pop up. The other day, I was scrolling on TikTok and came across a girl talking about a guy who was presenting a lot of schizophrenic symptoms but no one paid attention and got him help, he was having a lot of delusions, hallucinating, thinking everyone was out to get him, thought he was Jesus and his dad was the president and ended up doing horrific things. The day after that, I was dealing with some work drama and had the thought of “what if all my coworkers are against me and trying to get me fired”. That really stressed me out, cause I don’t normally think about them like that and I went down a rabbit hole of thinking that was the beginning of me developing schizophrenia, ended up googling stuff all night, taking tests, crying and seeking reassurance. I had a thought the other day “your dad is the president”, this one didn’t stress me out as bad as I knew it was just the video I had seen and it was an intrusive thought about it, and I also didn’t believe it. Today I was with some friends and I got a prize at a place we went and it said “lonely” on it. I do have my moments of feeling lonely and this week has been specifically trying so I had a thought like “oh someone’s out to get me cause I got this”. I know this isn’t logical and it wouldn’t make sense to just randomly get it if someone was truly after me and it was just a stupid prize at a random place, anyone could’ve gotten it. Im just struggling a lot with schizophrenic OCD and thinking I’m in the pre stages of it. In my good moments, I don’t think I am at all and it was all just sparked from the video I watched but in my bad moments, these thoughts feel real!! They really stress me out and make me feel like I’m going to lose my mind causing me to lose my job/ end up in a psych hospital/ never live a normal life/ end up alone, never see me my loved ones/ hurt my loved ones. I just want to feel normal and not like I’m about to lose my mind and everything I care about. Please help!!! Anyone else going through something similar and can help me get through this!

I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.
