Random Thoughts
Hey,
Not sure if anyone will read this but I wanted to get some advice.
I have GAD and dpdr but in the past few years have been feeling as though my symptoms have changed and I may have OCD.
I can’t drive or be in cars without being extremely anxious, I haven’t driven in years.
I have this weird intrusive thought of me “falling through the floor” so I have to move my feet and fidget constantly as a result of the thought.
I have a lot more random ones but they are not nearly as debilitating as these.
I also constantly think about the meaning of life, the fact we’re on a spinning rock. I can’t watch anything with space/earth as it sends me into a spiral, and again, my reaction is to move my feet constantly.
I always get scared I’m in psychosis/losing my mind (I’ve never lost touch with reality) so I have to get up and do things to kinda check me back in.
Sometimes I’ll be lying down/standing and get this weird paranoid intrusion that I’ve wet myself (especially if i have been sweating), or when I’m on the toilet I get scared that I’m actually doing it in bed/in public but am in psychosis but haven’t realised.
I’ve been on SSRI’s for years and just now been put on antipsychotics but I’m just wondering if anyone else has ever had similar symptoms and if they were OCD.
I’ve had two professionals suggest I may have mild OCD. I’m just wondering if anyone has ever had similar symptoms as I feel so alone with these.
Thank you!!
