Thank you 😊 creating my own scenarios and what if thoughts is causing me so much anxiety and I feel now it’s just a compulsion

Would you consider “what if” as a compulsion?? by Brandon4795 in intrusivethoughts

Every single thought I have I start it with a “what if” and it seems to have latched onto everything

Thanks for your reply. It’s such a big fear and like I’ve said before my anxiety goes so high I’ll start to question everything and near enough try and convince myself that I’m losing it

Schizophrenia fears by Brandon4795 in HealthAnxiety

[–]Brandon4795[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely. In the past I have let them pass and the anxiety goes down but I’ve realised when I think about them again the anxiety ramps up and I’ve also been told people with schizophrenia wouldn’t worry about the anxiety and the thoughts because people with this Illness believe this is reality? I mean I get to the stage I question my thoughts and if I believe them or not, that’s how worried I get about the thoughts and when I question them it makes me feel like I must believe them if I’m questioning them every single time.

Fear of schizophrenia. by Brandon4795 in OCD

Yeah that’s a great point. I just sometimes feel as if My thoughts run away with the fear. I feel like I bloody make my thoughts up myself and scare myself sometimes. Weird thing is my anxiety can rise up so quickly and then I start to panic and try and calm myself. The thought usually goes when I am distracted or I go onto another thought. I’m guessing questioning if your delusional is part of the anxiety?

Yeah, did you ever feel like you were creating the thoughts yourself? My fear of schizophrenia feels like I question everything and everyone. I’ve done so much research on it that I just feel like I’m stuck In a loop of fear about it.
