OCD convinced me a long time ago that I already went crazy and that now everything about me is a front I’m putting on to hide my insanity.

I am also 28 years old and it's unbearable for me as well. I work in long term nursing so I see all of the worst case scenarios, young and old. I also lost my husband to a car accident when i was 23, he was 29. Now I'm always afraid that everyone that I love is going to die right now and that I am too. It's really hard to come to terms with it

I am so very sorry about your husband ? that is heartbreaking. Sending you hugs! Though my situation is not comparable to the depth of your loss, I understand you. From the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2018 I lost more than 7 people I was close to, some more than others but still all of them had played an important part of my life at some point or other. This had made me feel like there is no point in living if everyone including myself is just going to die.

I also agree with you cwgrlup1990. I have health problems and have convinced myself I’m going to die from one of them before I reach 40. The fear of dying is so great I can’t handle it. I try to tell myself I’m too young (almost 28) to be thinking such things but then I think, not true people die all the time. People you thought were Healthy DIE ALL THE TIME. I’ve known too many people too young to die. TRIGGER : And yes my neighbor died almost 2 years ago from a brain aneurysm, she was 12. That has led my fear of dying almost to the point of unbearable.

I definitely suffered with those feelings. I felt like life was meaningless or a big joke. It was a very hard 4 years. I still struggle with my fear of death and dying, but I'm learning to live for right now. I've spent years obsessing about the future and couldn't just live in the now.

I am so scared and alone.
Hi everyone. So recently I have been feeling so scared and paranoid of going crazy. I am terrified of i will go crazy and turn schizo. I’m so hyper aware of everything. My mind convinces me that I will end up like this but I really don’t want to.It’s my biggest fear and I think abt it almost everyday and I can’t handle it anymore. I just want to be ok. I have told my parents this and they say it’s all in my head and just laugh at me. I know it’s in my head but I physically feel sick to my stomach being constantly scared. Please someone help me please please. Thank you.

anyone else?
does anyone else experience extreme fear of developing psychosis or schizophrenia or derealization. I literally freak myself out so much that it makes me physically sick. I’m so scared of developing these and it keeps coming up all over my TikTok and Google. It’s freaking me out.

I am scared I might die within the next few days
I'm currently living through a massive health scare with really scary symptoms. I am scared I might have an aneurysm due to my symptoms but despite that the doctor's don't think it's urgent. I have some test scheduled but I will have to wait weeks for some of them. I don't know how to get through this knowing I could die any moment. I live in constant terror ever since those symptoms started. I can't function. Can anyone here please help me with this??? I don't know what to do?
