Not trying to give you reassurance but if you were actually schizophrenic you would think that thought was normal! You wouldn’t even question it!

Are u sure? I cant shake this intrusive thoughts about the elves after I started freaking out. It’s not real why is my mind trying to make me doubt myself

@dolla0 Yes! Someone with schizophrenia would believe it was true and think that they are sane. Not trying to stigmatize schizophrenics or call them crazy, but something that has always helped me is “crazy people don’t worry about being crazy”

@Anonymous Maybe ur right! I was just talking with one of my long term friends and all of that Elve thing went away. Idk what’s wrong with me. I know it’s true. Why is my mind tryna convince me ur is. I think it’s my OCD

That’s what I’m going through now, I got obsessive thought that I’m crazy and I that I hear noises. I realise that I only scare my self with that , similarly to what you are telling. Trying to cope it myself now

Did you tell this to your therapist? Did she say it was anything more?

@dolla0 Yes , I did tell her. She just asked me when did it start and we figured out the situation that I was going through. She told me I do it due to the lack of attention and boredom, due to the fact that my bf disliked my hobby and I had to quit it. Therefore I’m stuck with routine and from childhood trauma of the fact that I didn’t get enough attention

@dolla0 Moreover, she told me that on her practice I’m not crazy at all

@dolla0 Oh, I had the same thing, now I’m left with a friend group who always call me out, but I’m anxious to go to public places. One mont ago used to get severe panic attacks in the supermarkets or streets, this started after a lockdown. However, when I started going to gym this fear started disappearing a bit, because I resized that I want to have a good mental state and I need to push my self to stop this anxiety.

@dolla0 But the sounds might be the same as mine, because they come whenever you start thinking about them, as my psychologist said “similar to a song that sticks in head”. When you remember it, it comes. When you are busy enough you don’t get it

@nika2407 Right. I cant shake off this delusional thought ab the elves. I know it’s so far from reality but it’s making me feel crazy so maybe that’s why I can’t shake it off

Do not test yourself for that!! That is a compulsion. Stay strong, friend! We're in this together ^^♡ I worry about having schizophrenia a lot myself, so much so it invades my dreams and I have nightmares of having voices telling me things

Oh my god! Felt. I was talking to one of my friends and all the pretend symptoms went away.

@dolla0 That’s what I meant, when you start thinking about it , it comes back. Get your self something interesting to do! “Doing something” doesn’t mean it is an activity that is interesting to you! Staying strong together❤️

@dolla0 It’s just your thoughts, it also might be sensitivity to surrounding sounds and because you are obsessed you think it that way. That what I was told by my psychologist, needs a while to forget about this!

Recently ive had ocd thoughts that are really weird and make no sense (they sound like thoughts that someone would have if they were in physcosis eg. What if trump can communicate with you through your head) like what??? Sometimes it feels like i believe it??? Which stresses me out and im constantly worried that im going through physcosis since i sort of belive it? I know deep down its ridiculous but it almost feels like i believe it?? Im scared. Like sometimes im calm with the thought. Im like oh okay maybe. Then sometimes my brain tries to imagine him like talking to me through my head??? Am i going through physcosis.??

I came across a video that was talking about a theory and it was something me and my friend were talking about 2 years ago and were tweaking about and i was explaining it to my girlfriend just now and them i started to get anxiety about stuff not being real and my world isn’t what it seems to be and that there stuff out there and then i started to have religious OCD and then it went to how Im scared of the world being fake or suffering from a mental illness like schizophrenia or something and stuff and I’ve been having OCD about my girlfriend being a government agent or that government agents are watching me cause I’m scared of schizophrenia and thinking like them i don’t think i actually think it i kinda just go to my girlfriend isn’t a government agent which scares me into thinking i was thinking she was or gonna think she is or idk if i just saying that to bot seem insane or something but like idk if i truly believe that i doubt it i don’t believe it any other time and then i started getting stress i might hurt or maybe kill her and it scares me cause shes my everything and I’m scared of losing her idk guys I’m getting stressed hella and I’m scared of myself and my OCD I’m genuinely tired of it like anyone can ask my girlfriend and she’ll say i cant go 5 mins without ticcing (from ocd) or asking for reassurance like that life is real and thats shes real and I’m real and nothings wrongs and stuff, i probably sounds crazy lmaoo maybe and the sucky thing is i don’t have a therapist or a thingy going on for me cause i don’t have a job and or insurance let alone.

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 🙏🏻
