Ocd keeps telling me that I’m seeing things because I’m schizophrenic. Or I get anxious that I’m gonna see things that aren’t there. I have problems with my eyes and my doctor told me herself that I may see things double or in a different position. But ocd keeps telling me I’m gonna see things or see people. So I’m constantly checking things in my peripheral vision to make sure I’m not seeing thing?I just wish school would start I’m sick of this shit

I definitely know what this is like. I have the same Kind of OCD. Mine isn’t much on seeing things but more over analyzing my thoughts to make sure I’m not having a paranoid thought. It’s really strange how much this disorder can trick you. Stay strong and remember that if you actually did have schizophrenia, chances are you wouldn’t care or be worried about it. You would just experience it like it was a normal thing. People around you would notice probably before you did. Stay strong??

oh my god i relate!! i too have visual disturbances sometimes (my eyesight is also extremely bad) and constant anxiety also makes me hyperfocused on sounds (sometimes i cant tell if the sound i heard came from right beside me or miles away, because it changes when im anxious). a big part of ocd is about being unable to trust your own judgement, identity, true colors etc. but the thumb rule with schizophrenia is that a schizophrenic doesnt question or doubt the nature of their hallucinations or their paranoia. obviously this fact is twosided, because i know this can mean you could go on to worry if things you actually believe then ARENT real, but yeah. i love psychology and ive tried understanding schizophrenia, but all i know is that its probably hereditary, and if no one in your immediate family has it, then theres no cause for concern

I do actually experience visual disturbances from time to time. I get migraines with aura which causes me to see colors and spots and sometimes loose my vision completely for short periods of time. They used to really scare me but now when they’re there I kinda just say to myself “hello purple dot. Guess you ‘ll be around today.”

Yeah I had a illness where some of my eye nerves were eaten off so now that causes me to see certain things out of place, see double, or to see lights.

Thats relieved me
