Hello, so for the past 7months i've been living fear. When I go out I think that someone will kill me. If I go swimming I think of myself drowning and etc. I thought that maybe I have OCD but I don't know anymore. It had came to that point that I'm scared to even go out. Is it normal?

Lots of people do live in fear, but it isn't anything anyone wants to do. Fear cages you in and usually the only thing that can set you free from that is conquering your fear. If you can figure out how to do that on your own, that's great, but if not and you need to get help, that's okay too! Asking for help when you need it is never a bad thing if it gets you to the right places.
Good luck lovely :)
I'm sure you don't want to live in this state for the rest of your life, so there's really only one thing you can do and that's seek professional help. As a first step, find a crisis phone line where you can talk to a counsellor anonymously and get support to find appropriate face to face counselling.
You seem to be able to date the start of this state of fear: what happened in your life 7 months ago?
No. If you're aware enough to know you're doing it, you can take steps to knock it the fuck off.
Rubbish: it's not only possible but common for people to know what they're doing and not be able to stop it without professional help. Just what steps do you suggest someone can take alone with such a debilitating mental condition, given OP would almost certainly be afraid to try anything even with help?
