I suffer with these same obsessions, and they are trying to take over my life. The thing my therapist always tells me is that no matter what, you are always in the pilot seat and in control. If you were having psychosis you wouldn’t know it and the fact that you are scared of losing control shows that you have it. As long as the fear of psychosis exists in your mind, then essentially you do not have it. I hope this helps, it’s a really tough form of ocd I’ve found, but we will absolutely get through this :)

Thank you. It’s the worst OCD obsession because I am just terrified of losing control of myself or losing myself but I know that those fears have nothing to do with psychosis but sometimes it just feels so real you know?

Please remember that OCD will try and make you believe ANYTHINT! Sit with the thoughts….so what if you have psychosis? There is treatment for that as well.

I know I just get scared because one of my main fears is my life being ruined or I find out I’m hiding something from myself. This happened with transocd and POCD I was just terrified of my life being ruinedz

@anonnnnn I know exactly what you mean. I suffer from the same theme. But this is exactly what OCD wants.

Fears that you are psychotic is evidence that you're not. Try to let the thoughts pass and realize the common factor in all of our fears is the fear itself, the OCD itself. The target of the fear changes but the irrational thoughts are the same. For what it's worth, I am part of the small % of people who have experienced psychosis and I still never fully lost control and there are medications and therapies that help you recover. This too shall pass.

Scared I acted on my thoughts while out of it
I woke up disassociating really bad ,I was super tired and if you read my prev post I've been having problems w depersonalization after a bad thc trip the other night. Im so so so scared I just said a slur or whispered it to myself because I cant properly remember things rn. I remember getting the thought and im scared i whispered it to myself and I cant tell if it happened or not bc waking up things feel rly blurry . It feels really real. I would never want to say such a word and im scared i did bc I was so out of it. I dont remember if i just had the thought or acted on it

Fear of physcosis
I’m constantly having fears of getting psychosis like I’ve been thinking I want to get closer to God but my brain is like what if I end up in religious physcosis or what if I drive myself into physcosis from my intrusive thoughts or what if I’m already in it.

schizophrenia or OCD?
hi so my therapist & i were talking about how scared i am of schizophrenia being a misdiagnosis, i'm not diagnosed with OCD even though i suffer from all of the symptoms more than anything else right now but she took as an example people that could kill me; when something was on the news a few months back i got EXTREME paranoia fearing that i could be killed next, my therapist said it was a delusion **but** deep down i know they can't actually get me but i'm just afraid if i speak up about it that they will get me. for example if i always say "nothings bad gonna happen" something bad is gonna happen. i don't really know deep down but i also do i'm just so lost like ???? i also always keep obsessing over it, but i also heard feeling watched & scared people are gonna do something is OCD, i'm just confused. is it still a delusion? or am i misdiagnosed? i've had psychosis multiple times but it was never negative or bad i think except losing friends i'm tired & drained. i'm sorry for constantly mentioning it but **i'm not scared of schizophrenia i'm just scared that i have a misdiagnosis** i put a TW for sure incase it triggers people with schizo OCD ! !
