I don't know what to do anymore...
Two years ago I was obsessed with my breathing, then with every single physical symptom of anxiety. Then came the obsession about my sleep and the one about suicide.
I overcome any of these but it's been a long time when my harm obsessions started.
Also I can't shake the fear of being mentally ill.
I have constant conversation in my head and awful depersonalisation.
I try to not be afraid of my scary thoughts, I try to accept them and distract myself, but nothing is working...

My psychiatrist said to me that there is no way to becoming schizophrenic but I try to convince myself that I already have that illness... :mad:
Don't run away, dive in your life!

Megun,

First take a deep breath. Now try to relax.

I am so, so sorry you are going through this horrid form of anxiety. Harm and mental illness obsessions are common for OCDers.

In addition to doing the program, I would recommend looking into cognitive behaviorial therapy. CBT is considered to be an excellent way to cope with anxiety and obsessions.
