I don't know what I have

TW (OCD SUBTYPE SENSORIMOTOR) - I talked about this originally and was told I have psychogenic pain but someone, but I don't really share any of the symptoms. I focus on my body parts sometimes and their sensations, they usually give tingling sensations because obviously I'm focusing on them. However, I've decided to focus on my eye and it feels painful. I've been having this for a few weeks now and it's just pain. It's not a real type of pain, it's not even a head ache I can't describe it and I feel so lost. Do I have psychogenic pain?? I don't get headaches or back pain or fevers if I focus on it, I just have this sensorimotor problem and it's making my life miserable. It's like a weird sensation focused around my forehead towards my eye sockets. I feel really suicidal and this is complete torture.

I don't have Sensorimotor Ocd but recently i had some weird sensations (i still do have those) like getting goosebumps on skin for no reason...... And sometimes it's so powerful..... I even get goosebumps on head scalp... Feels like my brain also feels goosebumps..... And i got a very weird burning sensation on my backrest that frequently occurs but not everyday....... Now i recently got to know that those sensations can happen for ocd.... Specially because of anxiety..... Now i also have another weird thing that is a really weird sensation on my backrest apart from burning and goosebumps....... And i just can't explain the feeling of that sensation...... And neither i have any idea why do that Happen..... So many weird things going on my body for a quite good time.... But i don't have idea why are those exactly happening..... I can't say what you're facing with........ But Hang In There!! Currently It might feels like really bad.... But you can get through.... And you will ! Things Will get Better...... Keep Hope.....

Deal with the things you're dealing with now, ❤️. You can get the help you deserve trust me. Sensorimotor OCD doesn't need to be looked up if you feel pressured.

@Cccxxx Im okay. I expect OCD to swing back and forth and to exaggerate problems here and there, so I always try to prepare myself. I generally swayed myself away from focusing on my eye, as Ive realized it doesnt make sense to keep focusing if it causes me mild discomfort. Ive kinda accepted the fact that its a little bit uncomfortable but it can feel worse. Of course as I mentioned I swing between obsessions, but thats it for now.

@Vilatic I’m so hung up on focusing on my eyes at the moment, I’ve noticed it’s worst when I’m in bright lights too for some reason (like at work) or when I’m reading things. Focusing on them so much causes me a lot of discomfort & sometimes makes me feel like I’m dissociating- hard to explain 😩 I’m struggling to focus recently, I’ve suffered with OCD like this in the past but it went for a while & has since come back since starting my new job (which I love, but my OCD is getting in the way now) the other day I had a good day where I barely thought of it, but now it’s back full force for some reason the past couple days have been the worst again

@Cccxxx I would recommend getting a therapist to help you get back in with your worklife. In my experience, I just said to myself “Yes, It’s difficult. Yes thoughts will continue to come, but I cant control that.” You will have thoughts that will say “What if you have this forever.” And other thoughts, and I honestly say so what. If im focusing on my eye than so what. If its disrputing with your reading and focusing, try to stay calm and just read, so what if ur focusing while reading. Almost all if not all of your discomfort is from anxiety itself, not your eye. Once you break away from your anxiety, then you will find it much more accepting.
