Solipsism OCD- Scared I wont ever see the thoughts as untrue.
Quote from Toast on December 20, 2020, 2:22 pmI have the obsession, what if I created everything somehow with my mind, and nothing is real. I feel like I've lost everyone I love.... I know this idea is crazy... but it's like, it scared me so so much, it feels true. I honestly can say at the moment it mostly feels true, and it's killing me. I saw Ali's video about how when you recover you know the thoughts aren't true anymore... but I'm scared that's not the case for themes like this.
Trying to disregard, but it hurts so much.

Quote from Ali Greymond on December 20, 2020, 8:23 pmHi Toast,
reduce rumination time and accept that the feelings of unreality will be there for now. That's OK. I think to some extent most people feel this a bit, I personally had it as an OCD theme. I think many times when a person with OCD feels this they assume that other people feel hyper-real and this is not the case. I am adding tracking below.
Wake - 9am - mins
9 - 12 - mins
12 - 3 - mins
3 - 6 - mins 6-9 - mins
9-sleep

Quote from Guest on December 27, 2020, 5:05 pmI don't think I have those feelings of unreality, just the thought. It came in during a time of high anxiety and just wont leave.... I'm so scared that the anxiety will go away, but I will always have this doubt. It's like, I know why its insane, but for some reason my mind is seeing it as perfectly logical! It's scary and I don't know how to make myself not believe it.

Quote from Guest on January 4, 2021, 8:15 pmI have something similar. Deep down in your heart you know it is not true. The anxiety is what is amplifying it. I know when I take Xanax along with my Prozac and Luvox I’m not as anxious and my mind is more quiet. In one of the books I read many years ago “BrainLock”, he says something so true....it’s not the thought it’s how it makes you feel. I know for a fact the way you react to a thought when it enters your mind and for how long is key. I tested this. When I had a scary thought come in I would panic for a minute and then pull myself out of it. Redirect really quick. Don’t let the anxiety build. It works. Unfortunately an oldie but a goody came back to haunt me. Trying to keep a normal life. Do not lay in bed. I repeat do not lay in bed!
