springorange Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Lately I've been scared of everything. The TV (which is a normal thing for me), but also of people, pictures, words, objects (nailpolish, calander) ect. I am afraid that something bad will happen to me or to the thing I am looking at. That something evil or horrible will happen. Anybody else experience this? It's a different kind of fear that I feel than when I feel that someone is watching me or has poisoned my food. Like that I will go to hell, experience lots of pain, ect. Abilify has helped a little bit, but I'm still terrified everyday. Can't get therapy more than once a month either...

melissaw72 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Quote I am afraid that something bad will happen to me or to the thing I am looking at. I can relate to this. I'm sorry you feel this way. It sounds to me exactly what happens with the agorophobia. It also happens because of the OCD. And I also constantly think about it (ruminating thoughts). Medication is what helps me, but doesn't get rid of the thoughts and feelings completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Blue Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I sure do, but I'm at a loss of telling your what to do, since I have never gotten my demons under control. However, I am thinking that the right medication would help. I don't necessarily mean only an anti-psychotic. With me, I had some relief with that combined with a sedative. When I didn't take the sedative, I reverted very quickly. There are so many meds and each will affect you differently, so don't be afraid to try them all. Also, docs tend to prefer their favorite poisons, so if the doctor's medicine of choice isn't helping you, then you do some research and find other options, other med to try.
