These are common OCD fears. #1 I’d rather be “crazy” than have OCD. I really don’t think there’s any worse condition than OCD. And #2 who cares if you’re being dramatic? Like aren’t we all dramatic sometimes? Why should we fee shame over that.

OCD is playing tricks on you! I get these same fears, that one day I’ll have a break down and do something drastic, or that my mental state will get worse. But my therapist reminded me that it’s not something we need to worry about because we can’t control the future, and it’s best to be present, try to be mindful of ourselves in the now, realize you’re okay because you’re here in this community and you are in the drivers seat.

You are not alone in this it just “feels” that way!! I experienced the same thing!!! OCD wants to isolate you and create a fear that you can’t talk to anyon because they will judge you and that is simply not true!! I thought I was losing my mind and it was scary and is when you are going through it!!! But remind yourself that this is just ocd!!!!! You didn’t do anything to deserve this, God doesn’t operate that way either! Psalm 103 says he does not treat us as our sins deserve but has love and compassion for us! We just have a faulty mechanism in our brains but we can retrain it, it takes time but you know what?!!!!! This is making you stronger than you know right now!!! Your going to come out the other side of this and be able to help someone else because you walked the difficult path ahead of them!!! Keep going!!!! God loves you and so do we!!!!! <><

i’m having a full on panic attack, i never used to be like this, what tf is happening to me, why am i like this, i’m so convinced i’m a horrible person and i deserve to be shut out forever because of my thoughts, i’m tired of struggling with harm ocd, i’m scared that because i have mental health issues i’m gonna end up ki!!ing someone someday or end up on the news, when i was at work earlier i kept thinking “how easy would it be to ki!! someone and get away with it” someone help, i don’t feel normal, am i crazy?… 😭😭i know that with ocd you’re not supposed to have reassurance and you have to be “okay” with the situation but.. how am i supposed to be okay with feeling like i could hurt someone…

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
