Is anyone’s OCD about becoming schizophrenic? It really freaks me out, I used to not care about ambient city noise at all but every time I hear people talking or noises outside or something I have to record it just to make sure it’s real and not in my head. It’s really stressful, I miss not caring about sounds or people talking. Not seeking reassurance or anything, just wanted to know if people experience this as well. It’d be nice to know that I’m not alone 🥺

This was one of my past themes, I still get thoughts about it sometimes and yes it can be really scary! I convinced myself that I was hallucinating at times or that I had other traits associated with schizophrenia because I compulsively researched it.

I had this theme for a while and convinced myself I was hallucinating too, it felt super real. It’s makes sense because ocd is a disorder based on doubt, so it’s normal for someone with ocd to doubt their thoughts as well as what they are seeing/hearing. You aren’t alone! I would try avoiding googling it, exposing urself to videos of ppl with schizophrenia, and stop trying to figure out if what u saw/heard was real or not. Hope this helps! ❤️

This is something that I’ve been thinking about lately too. You deffinitly aren’t by yourself with that though.

I literally broke down over this today. You are not alone. I had a huge set back. I heard an audible voice in the tone of with Amazon’s Alexa or iPhone Siri saying something about “if you want me to hear you you need to speak up.” And I was petrified. I was watching YouTube and believe an ad popped up while music was playing but it has plagued me and I’ve been upset all day by it - I took the rest of the day off work. You are definitely not alone friend !

I’ve been going through this the past few weeks. It’s been super difficult, I keep looking for signs that I’m “going crazy” such as hearing things, vision changes, anything really... it’s so hard to ignore. I find it helps a bit to stay busy and not spend too much time doing nothing or scrolling in the phone.

Yes!!! I worry that I am developing schizophrenia or finding evidence of DID. I
