Has anyone had this.....

I am suffering with anxiety and OCD but I keep glanceing at things and think bad things I'm not seeing things but my mind is kind of playing trick making things or seeing things out of shapes.....I cant explain it..

Its like being scared of the dark and then you think you seen something in the dark or there something there....I am sending myself nuts..a very over active mind also hypochondriac for mental ilness ...

    Andrew this happened to me. I couldn't stop myself for a while but eventually told myself that this my OCD tricking me not myself tricking me.

    You will not see anything as you have OCD not another illness. I also convinced myself it was something more. The thoughts will be instrusive thoughts, which is also a normal yet annoying part of OCD. Please try and stay calm. Talk yourself through each day. Get to the docs aswel and see a therapist. Once you understand more you will accept it and live a better life .

    Best of luck xxxxx

      Don't be fast , here to try and help.

      CBT is a talking therapy . You will understand to tame the worries and thoughts .

      It is such a relief to realise you are normal, just have a bad time at the mo. You will get better xxx

      This is my worry aswel but I'm told if you need to go to the Nut House you wouldn't know about it as you would be crazy. You do not seem crazy , just anxious my friend. Anxiety isn't dangerous it just makes you think it is. Get to the docs and get CBT. Maybe change or increase of meds. Start believing and fighting xx

      I had it for about 4 weeks , then decided enough was enough. If you were really seeing things you wouldn't question

      it so please stop worrying. It is because you are hyper sensitive to every movement you will see everything at the mo. Even dust particles . This will pass I promise.

      I have had anxiety for many years on and off. Also OCD instrusive thoughts xxxxx
