I’m terrified because I read that someone was able to hide their psychosis from others so what if my psychosis related intrusive thoughts I keep to myself are actually me going crazy??? I’m really scared rn

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 :)

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.

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.
