I have a true fear of developing schizophrenia and I’ve just became so obsessed with the fear .. been to a psychiatrist they said it’s ocd .. ok well I feel like if I don’t have it I’m going to loosing control anyways by always thinking about it every second of the day ? I’m reallly trying to pull myself out a dark spot..

I just wanted to say that I get it. I have the same theme, and it’s definitely a tough one. We MUST keep going, even when we’re afraid. Keep trying, and I will too.

Exposure. Exposure. Exposure. Got the same theme. I’m at the mall right now doing exposures by looking at others and confronting the intrusive “paranoid” thoughts. My anxiety spiked for half an hour. Now I’m comfortable. You gotta keep going.

Checking OCD ( doors , windows, iron, oven, radiator, if I paid bills , if I get a message , if I missed an important email ), I was scared I can kill my ex during sleep or my flatmates, I was scared I'll stab someone so I put the knives away I for some time, once I had pedo thoughts for short time , once I was scared I'm really dead or I'm dreaming and probably some more I dont remember ,

Um I’ve thought inappropriate thoughts , also hit and run thoughts would think I hit someone if I ran over a bump, also made up memory thoughts where I would drink at a party and the next day start wondering if I’ve slept with someone , checking the iron and flat irons but I didn’t have that to bad , every time I leave the house I would check and make sure I didn’t close the door or my dogs leg , and now this schizo theme fear got me baddd also I have realllly bad health ocd I always think something is medically wrong with me I have a longggg list of fears !
