Does anyone here at times like feel they believe in their thoughts? Earlier today I had an intrusive thought that I wasn't really awake that I was dreaming and since I was "dreaming" nothing is real. I was totally panicking because it felt like I believed it. Luckily, I calmed down and reassured myself it wasn't true though I kept thinking what if?

Yeah I freak myself out sometimes with the thought that everything around me might be an illusion. I've been listening to a lot of philosophy podcasts lately, maybe I need to lay off that for awhile

Thanks for understanding! OCD can really play with your mind. Hope your managing well with the intrusive thoughts.

Anxiety can do all sorts of crazy **** to people. I once had a panic attack where I was telling people that I couldn't breathe at all, completely oblivious to the reality that if that were true, then I couldn't have been talking to people in the first place.

Perhaps I get something where I believe my intrusive thoughts also but I snap out of it because I listen to my heart/morality. Those things guide me best as well as common sense.
