Im scared of going crazy, becoming scitzophrencic etc.

[LockieKermit]

Basically, Im over my intrusive thoughs..now its fear of going crazy, delusional, psychoitc.

I read online and aparently if you question your insanity, your not insane.
I find ways around the assurance, wondering..ok, are you sure that you questioned it, or did you think you questioned it etc.

Also, when I imagine scitsophrenia, I imagine hearing voices, like...I imagine what if I did and stuff like that.

Its scary..not panic attack scary but definitley depressing, and every now and then ill get a few minutes of anxiety, then back to normal for a few minutes etc...

what are your thoughts?

It sounds like your just having a lot of racing thoughts because of anxiety.

Do you think if you were checked for schizophrenia that it would ease your worries? My aunty has that and none of what you describe sounds like what she had before she went on meds.

I am pretty sure it’s anxiety but better to be checked or find away to put it at ease.

 

[Nack]

It gets confusing, seriously... Because you keep going back and forth on both sides you know? I just get tired after a while...

 

[LockieKermit]

lol yeah Nack...its just draining...

 

[scissorhands]

It doesn't sound like you have a problem other than anxiety here.

 

[LadyWench]

I fear going insane, too. It does get tiring. Maybe it would be easier to not be in touch with reality, though, than living this way.

You're searching for illness. You overthink and you started thinking illogically. The truth is not in your head, the truth is written on the paper(symptoms). Don't create your diagnosis. Think logically

I am so scared of going crazy one day. Social phobia is really controlling my life, but at least I am able to function and I know that I can hopefully get better by therapy, meds or just working on my issues. But what if I come to the point of insanity when there is no way back???

If you are scared of going crazy, it means you are not crazy. If you were delusional, you would not question your thoughts.

If you are scared of going crazy, it means you are not crazy. If you were delusional, you would not question your thoughts.

you are correct

dude, you're a mirror image of me, fear of going crazy, fear of killing, fear of having schizo... etc..

Recently I've been scared of going crazy too. My intrusive thoughts were just getting worse and worse. It was really doing my head in and felt like something major was wrong with me.

 

[LockieKermit]

Yeah, thanks guys I feel better.

Do you even feel like when someone reassures you that your fine, you always wonder if you asked the question properly, or left a bit of info out etc..

wow, sorry to revive this, but i'm having a TERRIBLE time right now with OCD, mainly hurting things i love (cat... means more to me than anything...)

does that form of OCD, feed on say, a bad day (because i've sure had one)

i was just wondering that... is all, someone, if you could PM me the answer, because i follow threads like crap

Most OCD specialists agree that if you question whether or not something is an OCD thought, it always is.

that's funny - just an anxiety problem.

I used to have those thoughts all the time - like the anxiety was going to drive literally out of my mind. turns out this is a common symptom itself. keep typing and try to exercise even a little if you can.

 

[jbeenthere]

Yeah, thanks guys I feel better.

totally. But I would not say you are fine. you are in distress and need and deserve help.

I am really afraid of going crazy as a stay at home mom...and doing something harmful to my kids.

I also sometimes think...what if I did/am doing something bad but in my head I think I'm doing something else. What if I do stuff and don't realize it? It's a freaky thought because I wouldn't know!! I don't think that is happening...but I think about it sometimes...

 

[LockieKermit]

I feel like im losing my mind sometimes.

Getting a little paranoid at times, or thinking im going delusional...


Like today I thought that thought about Super Natural and everyone getting posessed and I started getting anxious...
It only lasted 15 minutes or so, but after I was like...seriously, wtf was I thinking?

Im kinda scared of becoming schitzofrenic...or delusional, or just plain crazy.
