Me also! This is my main worry or like theme I guess and it is more common then I thought. My therapist sent me some great articles and resources about it. I will link them below if you want to read them! They have helped me a lot and it’s been nice to know that others out there who can sympathize and relate. https://www.sheppardpratt.org/news-views/story/all-in-my-head-ocd-and-mental-health-anxiety/ https://www.intrusivethoughts.org/blog/living-with-the-fear-of-going-crazy/ https://www.mindandsoulfoundation.org/Articles/486124/Mind_and_Soul/Articles/Anxiety_Fearing_Psychosis.aspx
@Anonymous Thank you very much!
Most definitely, this one is pretty intense for me, the idea pops up and I freak out that I have some horrible mental condition and will go nuts. The intense reaction to it doesn't help either 😂
@Snoop.Dugg Hahah just ocd things, hope it works out for you
@Hopeless wanderer Haha yeah pretty much, you too!
I had that too where I even tried analyzing my thoughts to see if I’m losing my mind and I was even analyzing the fact that I can hear my thoughts in my mind but somehow I would precive it to be an audio hilusination which is completely false the mind has a way of making things up and the key is to understand that and know if you where really crazy would you be asking
Be strong my friend you’re not alone 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@sefi Much love my friend thank you
@Hopeless wanderer Always bro
I had it also it is scary. But a theme doesnt really matter - you treat it as all other themes of OCD, with ERP and cognitive-behavorial therapy. ... to me helped to soathe also myself to be more in peace (my therapist drugs helped) and after that standart CBT work and living you life despite these thoughts...it suck, but it is only some other OCD trick...it will go away with therapy and living full life...
Ocd can be the most bizarre thing sometimes, schizophrenic ocd is indeed a very common thing, the argument and constant reasurence to prove that it is not happening is a very real thing, so ofcouse people have that argue in there head?
Does anyone suffer from Schiz OCD. Where you obsess about possibly being schizo
Hey there, very new here. Is there anyone else around who suffers from Schizophrenia OCD? I'm in the midst of a coming-up-on-two-months-long episode with this now, and it's really making my life hard. I am absolutely convinced that I have the disorder, so convinced that I believe my OCD diagnosis to be merely part of the prodrome. I have seen an ER physician, a psychiatrist, a therapist, and a mental health worker specializing in early intervention in Psychosis, and they've all said that what I'm going through is nothing but OCD. I really want to believe them, but I'm constantly thinking that they've missed something or that I neglected to tell them one crucial symptom or that I still have the disorder, but it's too early for an outsider to pick up on it. I am very, very exhausted, as I'm sure you can imagine. Do any of you with this obsession have some strategies for coping? Or is there anyone here who has beaten it and can give me some insight into how I can too? Thanks a lot.
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
