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.

Paranoia
Paranoia… I need to know because I’m feeling very alone in this. I’ve never met someone with the level of paranoia that I have. I can logically explain things to myself and somehow my paranoia convinces me of another story. I’m constantly thinking exaggerated thoughts that there are so many scary possibilities. Am I alone in this or what? If so any suggestions on how to calm these thoughts
