Crazy thoughts, feels like in losing it

[Lindsey14]

Ive been questioning things that make no sense to. The thought of how are dogs different from pigs, has had me avoiding meats. Then i have the crazy thought what if I go crazy and hurt a family member or pet. Or what's the difference between people and animals. Please tell me im not crazy..... My thoughts are racing

Ask your doctor about Perphenazine. It is a drug for Schizophrenia, which is basically a Disorder for Disorganized Thinking. Does it run in your fam? Both my parents have it so basically I'm screwed lol. You are NOT crazy, you will NOT go crazy and you would NEVER hurt anything or anyone. This drug helps with the thoughts, it will calm you down. Ask your doc. Get well!

[Ambien1711 in reply to Lindsey14]

Sometimes they will give you the drug just for the thoughts even if you're not schizo. Just see. I did very well on it.

[Lindsey14 in reply to Ambien1711]

Pure O OCD Can Be Really Hard

This is actually what I typically think of as being the defining factor of pure O OCD: obsessive thoughts that people worry will become a reality in some way. Someone might have obsessive thoughts about hurting someone and they might fear that they will actually do that someday.

I just copy and pasted that. That is my opinion after reading tons of your post. I have it and take a medication for schizophrenia. Hope this might help point you in the right direction. It's called "Pure O" it's a form of OCD that is basically a severe anxiety disorder.

Thank you! Its not actually schizophrenia is it?

[Hidden in reply to Lindsey14]

No. It's not. I know the term schizophrenia is kind of a scary thing to think about possibly having. But they use medications that are for different things that help with other conditions besides what they are primary for prescribed for. It's called an "off label prescription" and have multiple uses. It's no different than some people taking an antidepressant to help for anxiety or sleep, when they are not depressed.

You're not crazy though, they are just irrational thoughts. Something like Celexa is where I would start, and talk to your counselor about trying to retrain your brain. You have to recognize what thoughts are rational, and what thoughts are not.
