Is someone here dealing with harm OCD or other disorders?

DX'd - Sz/SzA

Actually, from the beginning of the first pscyhosis many things came altogether for me
pscyhosis by itself, depression, overall instabililty and ofc obsessive thoughts.
In my country there is a big problem with treating OCD
some doctors even thought that I have anger issues,
while from what I read I feel I have harm ocd, which is I am always afraid of hurting others, even though I actually have no intention to do it.
I am actually always worrying, that these thoughts show how horrible/bad person I am.

So, what comes altogether with your SZ/SZA? I believe most of us have also some kind of other disorders, not only SZ/SZA.
How do you deal with it?

I have Sz along with major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder with panic attacks. And i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder about 15 years ago, but i no longer meet the qualifications for that. I did a lot of DBT to overcome BPD. For MDD and GAD i do meds and cbt therapt. Im realitively stable. My depression is like a level 3 and my anxiety is like a 4. I have had some sz symptoms pop up the past few weeks, like hallucinations and paranoid delusions, but were messing with my APs so thats probably why. Overall I’d say im doing much better than i was just a year ago.

Yeah I’ve had OCD including harm OCD. Sounds like what you’re talking about. It went away when I started Seroquel. I still have some OCD from Geodon which causes it.

OCD is worst thing ever happened to me.
I remember whole life I was so calm about myself and then boom - when psychosis started (age 16) these things also started. I have terrifyingly fears that I cannot control myself and etc.

Yeah it’s not fun. I’ve heard good things about ERP therapy. It’s helped with some of my OCD but I didn’t have a therapist help.

Did you try clomipramine?
It’s TCA antidepressant.

I tried it for depression, it helped.
But side effects are massive weight gain and constipation.

I don’t have harm ocd but I have rumination ocd. Along with occasional intrusive thoughts.

I can really relate to your OCD issues. I had self harm OCD some weeks ago so I had to ask for a raise in Seroquel last week so now I’m on 900 mgs of seroquel. The OCD has vanished this week and I do feel a lot more stable. Cognition has worsened but everything comes with a prize.
