Anyone have anxiety or ocd with Insanity? A fear of insanity? Or ocd with not letting yourself feel good (not sure if that’s depression). Such as, not thinking it’s fair or “right” for you to feel good or succeed, that you’re not “allowed to” like yourself, or talk and socialize with people because you’re using them?

OH...MY...GOD!!! I sincerely thought I was the only one that had this issue!!! Yes!!! I was going through this for MOMTHS!!! And it's slowly calmed down after a while. It still comes in spikes every once and a while though...omg I'm just so happy I'm not the only one. Just keep using this app and practice acceptance, hopefully that helps you!!

I had a huge fear of insanity recently, for a few weeks. I don’t even know how it started but it was scary. And I watched fightclub for the first time during those weeks and it triggered me so bad and made it soooo much worse. But right now, I have NO fear of insanity. Maybe it’s because I just came to grips with the idea that 1) I can’t control it and 2) the fact that I fear it means it’s probably not happening. I hope that gives you some hope because it does get better!!

That's exactly the way I feel! I completely relate. I have always equated depression with suicide. I'm constantly checking to see if I'm depressed or sad which in turn makes me feel that was and then makes me think I'm going to commit suicide. I have suicide OCD as well!

I can’t handle the labeling and illness. This is anxiety, depression, delusions, ocd etc. too much stigma and too much miscommunication and differing on the meanings and all that they carry (that is with certain people). I want to be me and explain my thoughts and have someone help me if they hurt me. And I want someone to tell me what the standard is for functioning for a healthy person so I can understand that as the goal as a opposed to an illness ( I think because I think it must be “cured” rather than lived with). If someone else feels this frustration I hear that too. I’m very frustrated that these illnesses and perceptions and my own idea and fears have taken time from my life. That if I have a mental illness I’m defect and it’s something I must rid myself of.

Hey Diana can I hear more about your fear of depression? I suffer from the same OCD

Yes! I have a fear of depression bc I equate that with wanting to kill one’s self. I have suicide ocd really bad Rn and I was equating being depressed with automatically killing yourself. But, I asked my mom who is a clinical social worker and she said that depressed people actually rarely kill themselves. It’s a false stigma. So now my depression ocd is gone and it’s just full on suicide ocd, not afraid of depression anymore. What type of ocd do you have? Hope this helped by the way!

You have suicide ocd right? Sorry just reread your post I think you were inferring that ?
