is this a common paranoid thought?

I frequently obsess over the fear that my medication is fake. I know its irrational but i cant get it out of my head. I also fear people can read my thoughts. I am diagnosed with OCD. I have experienced multiple paranoid beliefs i knew were irrational all my life. I just wondered if anyone has experienced these paranoid beliefs aswell...

    The mind controls the body. Honestly, all you are doing is simply tricking yourself into thinking these things just because you obsess over them so much. Try doing something to clear your mind and/or get your mind off of these thoughts.

    I think you just might be simply scared, but fear won't solve anything, it just keeps making anything worse. So just relax and don't add yourself reasons to be more stressed than what you already are.
