Hey guys. I have OCD and severe anxiety but have never been diagnosed as psychotic. I'm so worried I am though, and that I should be diagnosed.
This all started with one time last year where I woke up with a memory in my head that I fully believed, later to realize it might have been a dream I had that night. It wasn't a bizarre or significant memory, just something random that would have happened in my past if it was true. To this day I seriously don't know whether or not it happened! Because of that experience I have OCD surrounding the fear of remembering things that didn't happen (having delusions). Since then, I have: Remembered my little sister saying she likes the blonde streaks in my hair...but I don't have highlights Had deja-vu about playing a video game before when I don't think I've ever actually played it before Had a fleeting memory that my therapy office sent me a letter in the mail asking why I cancelled one of my therapy sessions, only to realize within seconds that it never happened And many more little things like this. I've told my therapist and she just says I have extremely high anxiety about becoming delusional and I perceive fleeting thoughts I have as "delusions". But I'm not sure...I'm just really scared and do you guys think I'm having some kind of psychosis?

delusions don't tend to be commonplace like your thoughts. So instead of my sister thought I had highlights, it would be like I have invisible highlights in my hair that only certain people can see like my sister, because she is one of "them".
Everyone gets deja-vu An example of a delusion I had was that I was a peacock shaman that could heal people by channeling a wind goddess through a peacock themed lamp. It's weird stuff....

Yes, they don't sound like delusions. My delusion was I thought I was a secret agent for a top secret agency with a mission to collect personal datas from people in a way to create a new world ruled under one kingdom. After I went to hospital and felt better, I found a lot of papers with my friends' datas written there.

That's reassuring I guess but I still feel like I should KNOW if something happened to me in a dream or in real life. LIke I seriously have no idea
