A obsessive-compulsive disorder patient suddenly worsened during the epidemic, and repeatedly fell into the extreme fear of "I may go crazy at any time". He repeatedly sought medical treatment with his family, but he could not eliminate his fear. He found me in extreme pain, hoping that I could tell him whether he would really go crazy.
One reason why this obsessive-compulsive patient suddenly falls into the fear that he may go crazy at any time is that compulsive thinking does cause this illusion.
Another more important reason is that I was trapped at home during the epidemic and had nothing to do, so I had more time to pay attention to my compulsive thinking than when I was working before, and I was more sensitive to my various feelings, and constantly exaggerated my thinking and feelings.
In order to control obsessive thinking by yourself, I began to search online to see all kinds of knowledge about obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He accidentally saw on the Internet that obsessive-compulsive disorder may develop into schizophrenia in the future. As long as he experiences auditory hallucinations, he can be diagnosed as schizophrenia. So he felt that he also had auditory hallucinations and fell into extreme fear. During the psychological counseling process, he kept confirming with me repeatedly whether he really had auditory hallucinations.
Although he finally let go of the fear of doubting that he would go crazy through psychological counseling, the whole process of fear and worry was quite painful for him. I would like to give a warm tip to friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder: obsessive-compulsive disorder will bring tormenting long-term and lasting pain, and will have a destructive impact on personal study, work and life.
If you really want to get rid of the pain, you can adjust and improve yourself through the various tools and techniques provided by my column "Practical Self-help Methods for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder". If your obsessive-compulsive disorder is already very serious and you cannot adjust it yourself, you can consider gradually improving it through psychological counseling.
If you just search for some information online and have a slight understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it often does not solve the problem, but also adds new fears to make obsessive-compulsive disorder worse, which is not worth the loss.
