A friend on here reminded me of it, and now my anxiety is through the roof. I am terrified because i keep thinking i am hearing things, even though i know i am not, and now i have the thoughts back that i was thinking before, like the THOUGHT not belief about my son being a devil, when he is clearly not, he's a one year old little boy and not a devil... I am not upset right now that someone had to bring this up with me again! I am sooo terrified..... I do NOT want to be schizo anything.... Please help, I AM soo scared :( :(

RELAX, easier said than done. I KNOW
You are not CRAZY. You are just scared.
Remember this. The fact that thoughts like that scare you, prove that you are not crazy. I hope this helps.
GOD BLESS
JUST REMEMBER THIS IS PART OF OCD AND NOT YOU
GOD BLESS
Your thought patterns are pure OCD but if you find yourself becoming extremely terrified, seek help from your therapist to get you over the hump.
