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.
Just know the real You you’ll get thru it
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!!!!! <><
Im going through this right now too
Anybody struggle with thinking you have schizophrenia or are slowly developing it? Mine just kinda popped up out of the blue today. Idk why I have a sudden feeling that I might hear or see something that nobody else will hear or see. I just feel like I’m stuck in my own head and I might act out of impulse. It’s making me feel anxious, uncomfortable, and worried that something might be wrong with me. I even feel like covering my ears so I can calm myself down with some piece and quiet. Please tell me someone else knows what I’m talking about
I’m scared that I’m going insane. I’m scared that I’m gonna hurt someone. I thought I was getting better. Why is it coming back now? During the school day it’s usually okay and easy to distract myself, but when I am home it gets bad cause I have so much free time. It often makes me feel like I don’t recognize my surroundings and like life doesn’t feel real, even though I do!! Like I know where I am, but it feels like I don’t. It also does that with people occasionally where like I know them but my brain makes the connection I have with them feel weird. I’m scared that I’m going insane. I’m scared that I’m just gonna black out and hurt somebody, or lose all my empathy and hurt someone. I don’t even know where these come from, or how they relate but I can’t stop worrying about it. And I’m scared to post this because what if someone replies with yes, I am going insane. I just need comfort and reassurance, even though I know that would only make it worse. But how else do I deal with this?
Woke up this morning immediately looking for the thoughts that I’ve been having even though i don’t want to think about them. I feel like i ended up bringing them upon myself and then i had a super gruesome thought and have been worrying about it all morning. Is it possible to bring thoughts upon yourself? Is it ocd or is it just me? I’m just so scared of going “crazy” that i keep looking for thoughts deciding if it’s me or not if you know what i mean. It’s such a scary feeling When you feel like you don’t know who you are 😭 i literally am just petrified of completely losing sense of who i am and doing something bad and being locked away forever. Is it possible to just turn bad? Does anybody know what i mean by that? Like you secretly have a double ego and completely turn into somebody different? Does anyone else experience this? Is it ocd? I’m so scared i feel like i can never catch a break.
