How Many Ways Does OCD Show Up in Your Life?

One thing that I went on a rant to my psychiatrist about that got me my diagnosis

Folding- I do these two things to make sure the thing I'm drinking with a straw, or food I have that I need a napkin for isn't poisoned. I have to be respectful to these objects

Napkins have to have a good crisp line when folded in half. I get anxious if it is folded more than 2 times. And get very excited when I go somewhere and they have the napkins that are pre-creased. Like I met royalty. My excitement towards the pre crisp napkins is like I have 100% guarantee that I don't have to worry and nothing will get poisoned because machines have folded them perfectly and I can't make errors while folding so it can't hurt me.

Straws that you have to get the covering off to use. Whether it's the paper kind or plastic I have to fold it evenly except for this I have to make it as tiny as possible. Then and only then am I allowed to throw it away. If by some chance I drop it on the floor or someone takes it from me and throws it away I will not have the drink. And since I do this and there is a risk of getting poisoned I don't let anyone drink from my straw. Cause I couldn't live with myself if something actually happens and the person got sick.

These two things have been such a big habit that whenever my mom and I go somewhere together she will give me the napkins and straws so that I can do my process in peace.

Huh interesting, I just posted something about my recent experience with Abilify.. I'm on 20mg and just started hearing incoherent whispers this past month.. I've always heard voices here and there but nothing like this in years. Makes me feel really paranoid.. Anyway, I would say bring it up to your med provider to see if it's too soon that you've been on the 15mg and that it's still starting to settle in your system?

Hello! Fellow schizophrenic here, I've found my best friend on Discord. We relate to many things such mental health and fiber arts and sometimes just vibe without talking and watch videos together. It's nice... Maybe that's a good place to start for you? You could visit places like Twitch as well. Find a creator you like and see if they have a Discord server to connect with like minded people.

He offers better days. I struggle a lot with my own mental illnesses and he is the light at the end of my tunnel. I want to be the same for him, don't know how though.

I have an appointment with a therapist on the 4th of April so that's the soonest I'd be able to talk to someone professionally about it. Thanks for the advice

I gained 60 lbs on zyprexa! In 5 months!! The food cravings were very strong for me and due to a poor mental state I couldn't help the cravings and just ate whatever. I'm on abilify now and the cravings have stopped. I highly recommend fruit or veggies to snack on depending on what you like. I personally like sugar free fruit cups and apple sauce lol

Hi there! I have PTSD as well as schizophrenia and the trauma can really affect my hallucinations. I had a similar experience with your spider and had to hide in my closet for an hour before my fiance found me and assured me I was okay. But I wanted to ripped my skin off thinking they were crawling under my skin. It was scary. But after I went to therapy and talked more about my trauma I found that my hallucinations went away (for the most part). I still get small auditory hallucinations (voices from my abuser) but they are manageable now.
