I’m not a professional but this sounds like hypnagogic hallucinations and is basically your brain’s transition from awake and asleep. I get these too especially when I’m stressed. https://www.healthline.com/health/sleep-health/hypnagogic-hallucinations

Dont worry dear. Ive been there to that specific fear. I was also experiencing everything you said. I suddenly all my senses was activated to extreme level. I can hear the television of my neighbors and thinking if what Ive heard is from the tv. You'll get through this. And now Im fine. Im not afraid anymore and my senses are normal and I am not anymore suspecting that I hear something. From my experience of that fear I can say I waisted my 5mos fearing about it. Hope you'll get it over soon.

@lakme14 I've come to the point I got tired of every fear I had. So when I get tired of schzo fear I just basically ignore everything. Whenever I suspected that I hear something, I dont invest time and effort to know where does the sound came from., If I feel like I see a bug flying fast before my eye, I ignore it. Basically I ignore all of it. There was one time I saw a kid in the backyard and I ask myself Is that kid I saw is true or am I hallucinating and the kid is not physicall there then my anxiety went high automatically. So the answer is dont pay attention and ignore it. I know its hard but you can do it. But the sad part is once you moved on to the fear and the another fear will come along. Sorry if there is a wrong grammar, I hope you still understand what ive meant. 😭

@lakme14 Oh! I see I hope you will recovered fast from covid. Well, Its not easy to ignore it completely when your mind wants you to think and convinced you that you have this illness. What makes me confident not to bother myself with that fear anymore is, there is a medicine for it whenever the worst thing happen and I suddenly have schizo. So it doesnt matter if I have or not I will be comeback to my senses if I can take a medicine incase if I have 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 have been nervous about flying since I am going on a trip tomorrow and the thought of turbulence has unnerved me but I have been doing ok with that thought and slowly getting used to it. I have been looking at videos and articles explaining turbulence and what it is and why it happens and I have been feeling better about it. I go to bed and I am definitely tired. I am at that stage where I am falling asleep but still awake and all of a sudden I get a random anxiety hit feeling and a accompanying thought of "I wanna die!". I immediately wake up like I was just fighting for my life and I keep repeating the thoughts over and over wondering if that's what I want or something. I sort of calm down and try to sleep but now I am getting random thoughts from tv shows, music lyrics, and scenes from said shows playing in a random order. Feels like I am losing it and I can't focus. I am afraid I am having some psychosis or something which increases my anxiety. Any help or insight would be appreciated. I have had Suicidal OCD thoughts before but this one sort of hit different since I was partially asleep.
