I think the hearing voices while falling asleep and waking up is called, (a really scary name) but "exploding head syndrome". It's named after the common loud banging or gunshot some people hear from it, but from the research I've done it isn't related to any underlying health issues. I deal with that too, I've heard my family have entire conversations about leaving me behind if I don't wake up but when I get up, everyone's asleep. I'm sorry you're dealing with this though, the stress that comes with ocd is unfair.
Oh my that does sound scary!
I also think so much my body kind of lives in auto pilot.. I’m so in my head I will do three tasks and literally wonder how or what I did.
This is exactly how I have felt for my whole life. I am only used to ruminations and as hard as I don’t try, I guess you could say, I cannot seem to free myself, right now as my medication had been lifted higher, I am literally watching my ruminating imbalance slow itself down owing to the meds, whilst I simultaneously still feel the utter need to ruminate even though I am supposed to know it is irrational. It truly does take the irrational train of thought and take it to a sense of insanity thinking. And that is another I worry about, will I be ‘crazy’ all my life because of this? I have watched friends and family and my girlfriend go about their day while I beg my mind to stop ruminating. It’s torture and I feel for all of you
This is exactly how I feel
I woke up in a panic this am
This is exactly what I’m feeling down to a T. I feel this way and I hear voices of like cartoon characters that I’m watching because I’m so into the show and it only happens as I’m waking up slowly or if I’m falling asleep but it does not happen during the day. And it even gets to the point where I stare at objects during the day to see if they’ll talk to me because I am so obsessed with thinking I’m schizophrenic or the fear of becoming schizophrenic. I even asked my normal therapist a couple years ago if I was and she kind of giggled and said no you don’t have any symptoms or any signs that you are schizophrenic and she has seen me for 15 years now. I have also experienced hearing my family members Have random conversations and it’s nothing bad or it’s nothing evil it’s just they’re having conversations it’s very weird. But you are not alone what you wrote is exactly what I have been dealing with lately it’s kind of comforting to know that I’m not alone and that it is OCD.
Do you hear family members voices and conversations like when you first wake up or falling asleep? Or all the time
@Messa Just waking up and falling asleep
@Hazel It definitely does help knowing someone else can relate! How old are you by the way? Sorry if that’s personal. I’m 23, I just also deal with being in the stage where I guess it’s “common”.. and it makes me more nervous. I hate this OCD theme :((
@Messa It is isn’t it! Helps you feel like you’re not alone and or crazy. I am 30 and no you’re ok I’m a open book :)
@Hazel I think you have to be an open book with this
@PoetART I am :)
Woke up this morning immediately looking for the thoughts that I’ve been having even though i don’t want to think about them. I feel like i ended up bringing them upon myself and then i had a super gruesome thought and have been worrying about it all morning. Is it possible to bring thoughts upon yourself? Is it ocd or is it just me? I’m just so scared of going “crazy” that i keep looking for thoughts deciding if it’s me or not if you know what i mean. It’s such a scary feeling When you feel like you don’t know who you are 😭 i literally am just petrified of completely losing sense of who i am and doing something bad and being locked away forever. Is it possible to just turn bad? Does anybody know what i mean by that? Like you secretly have a double ego and completely turn into somebody different? Does anyone else experience this? Is it ocd? I’m so scared i feel like i can never catch a break.
Good morning just wanted to vent a little so the theme I struggled/ still struggling with? I don’t even know if am or if it’s just not as bad or what but the theme I struggle with is Schizophrenia OCD and I’ve just been noticing I’m hyper vigilant of random thoughts ? Like I’ll be reading something on fb or watching tv and a random thought or word will pop into my head that has nothing to do at all with what I’m doing at the moment and also just remembering random memories too that have nothing to do with what I’m currently doing. I noticed it happens way more often when I’m stressed out or anxious. I’m pretty sure yesterday morning I got triggered and that’s when the random thoughts and everything started again. It’s just annoying because now that I know I struggle with that theme so I’m not thinking as often “oh I probably have schizophrenia” but I’m still too focused on the random thoughts and words that pop up and it won’t be anything bad at all actually I’ll just be random words that I heard earlier from like a show or movie or video I was watching. It’s just really annoying and kind of stressful I was just wondering if anyone has gone through this and has any tips ??
My OCD theme is fear of psychosis/schizo and it’s gotten so bad idk what to. I feel like it’s starting to make me think crazy.. like my brain gathered all information on this mental illness and now mimicking it. Does anyone else have this problem? I feel like crying
