So i developed an ocd since an year… and my dx is paranoid sz… My ocd is painful and tiring mainly…
Now i fight for real, but this struggle comes after 20 years of isolation so i can be in really desperate places still…
I have other issues as anxiety and depression and even a bit of narcolepsy…
Do i have a chance though to just feel better one day and have more life?
I dont know how bad you were, id take some success stories now, even though that you keep some symptoms still but i wish id knew, that you got way happier and healthier…
Am lost way too often still and i tend to get desperate very easy still, around for example movies like “awakenings”, i dont have the link now, am sorry… The guy in there just was a sz, with ocd rituals and he never made it…
Know that i am more active now and am trying to be a better person, but idk if I’ll ease my symptoms… My aunt said today, that i think too much… anyway…
I really dont want to listen to the system anymore, but idk if its possible to feel better after 20 years of isolation and loneliness… My brain lately is a mess sometimes, rltotally dumb things in it, the painful emotions follow that too…
Prayers for you all, take care!! 
Maybe i just don’t have my freedom of mind now, maybe its up to that, idk…
But yes, i was told to be a severe case, tbh, i want mire than that now…
Ive had ocd since i was a kid. The psychosis came about 15 years later.
Its all about managing your symptoms.
Hope your doing okay
I have pretty severe OCD and schizophrenia.
It’s manageable with CBT.
I have SZA and am also diagnosed with OCD
I was first diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia and psychosis. A few years later it was changed to schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. I was afraid the police were going to come and arrest me even though I wasn’t breaking the law. I was in the psych ward when I was diagnosed in 2015 and they put me on meds that helped but they said I wasn’t improving so they involuntarily committed me.
Now I have anxiety and maybe a little depression. I have concerns about the future. I try to focus on the TV or music but I’m always thinking and it gets me down.
Oh , thanks for the answers 
My current pdoc said, that am an obsessive type of sz before i got the ocd…
Now i have this too, plus the anxiety and the somatic disorder…
Ok, ill keep the hope…
I find, that i wasnt in so much pain, when i was a bigger psycho, now am a better person , plus i fight now but its extremely difficult and idk if i have a progress…
I ignore if the isolation made it worse, probably yeap…
But ok, i wont complain. I hope, that you are happier in your lives, ill also try to get out of the despair… i had the despair since the age of 10 probably, my parents noticing nothing wrong, so i felt very alone, till blindness and total loss in my mind and this world later on…
But enough on that… Me, in my ocd, i fear that furniture at home can brake and then I’ll be obliged to ask for help my mother, who can hate me if she sees that i smoke in the bedroom etc, this is it lol…
Yes, i fear my mom still, idk from where this comes…
It’s too much for me. I was diagnosed with OCD at 10 and schizophrenia at 16. while I stopped doing the same OCD rituals i still check things and have very obsessive thoughts and worries. I can’t stand it. It’s really hard to deal with both cause i end up obsessing over paranoid thoughts. Almost every minute of the day. It feels like torture
Well, you have a choice, you can think it’s hopeless because it’s been twenty years and keep isolating or you can take action and get out and do some things like groups or fun stuff. It’s your choice.
I would much more have the sz than the OCD, the OCD is a real struggle, intrusive thoughts the constant obsessions and the mental rituals. Exhausting.
I have daily symptoms that over lap with ocd. But not diagnosed
