This is defiantly a theme and falls under health ocd. I share this obsession as well and am super sensitive to sounds and checking for sound in fear of hearing voices. This is reassurance, but you need to know that people who hallucinate or have schizophrenia do not get anxious about their symptoms, but rather consider them factual. No amount of reassurance is going to help you in the long run. Consider getting into therapy with an ERP specialist.

Omg, I gave the same thing. After stress I started being sensitive to noises and started imagining that I hear birds singing in my head, this made me reassure them with my bf every time I heard them in real life. I’m very scared I’m going crazy, even though I talked with my psychologist and she told me I’m all good need some time to recover after stress. However, now I’m very scared that I’m crazy for this obsession

You aren’t alone and you aren’t crazy. Anxiety is crazy strong and do your best to stay calm and do some self care. Remember people who are crazy don’t worry about being crazy. Only anxious people worry about it. ❤️

I have been having these fears about developing schizophrenia, it reached a point where i am starting to almost hear things or the smallest sounds and my mind tells me you're schizophrenic, and i feel this weird sensations in my ear as if someone is whispering yet i can barely hear them, the thing is i am not diagnosed yet because i never work with an OCD therapist but i study psychology so i just used what i learnt to give a meaning to my suffering, many themes of this fear have been happening before and this schizophrenia fear is the last one. I want to know what advice you can give me or ways to make my brain calm down a little bit, i also don't have and can't afford a therapist that's why i am here in the first place I also want to know more informations or experiences with this theme if anyone habe experienced it and what helped you with it I remember feeling better for a while but than i collapsed back, but i am hoping to get better soon too or anytime in the future, I don't want reassurance so make sure you be as real as you can, and thanks 🙏🏻

I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.

idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
