SO my anxiety / OCD has taken me on a wild ride this past year. My intrusive thoughts have been so wild. Right now my fear is ... what if I become haunted or am haunted?
It's wild right? It started because I saw steam in my shower and go scarred I saw something else. Which I know deep down I didn't but my anxiety is running with it. I feared I had schizophrenia and now its what if you are just haunted?
It sounds so stupid to even ask if anyone else has had wild fears because of their intrusive thoughts? Help.
I really feel like my anxiety is taking a toll on me with this one. Its testing my faith and beliefs. I am not on any medication (my anxiety seems to make me anxious about starting any medicine Lol)
Just want some reassurance ( which anxiety/ocd patient doesn't) that I am not alone with these wild thoughts.
Hi DeeNicole, It is wild what our minds can lead us to believe. I am feeling much better now, but when I was sick I would fear that I was going to lose my mind totally or that I would pass out and everyone would think I was dead, but really I was alive and could hear them. Wild, huh? I now take medication and do therapy and those wild thoughts are mostly gone. They come into my mind on rare occasions now.
Every time you have one of those thoughts, just remind yourself that is your mental illness and tell yourself that the thoughts will soon pass. I hope you feel better real soon. ((HUGS))

Your Fear is not unusual, many people fear of ghosts and the other side. Sometimes when we are away, in a rented property or walking around Historic sites, especially if there is a mist or fog shapes can form and move around We visit a great number of historic sites castles etc. All your fears are your imagination playing with you. Move on Sometimes in an empty room you may not feel alone, or the silence hurts your ears ???
We make our own fears and as most people go through life with many unexplained happenings, we all most on and we control our fears.
