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.

Those who keep having fears and thoughts that you might be schizophrenic, how do you deal with that? Because my OCD tends to come at me in the form of direct statements or commands, it picks at that specific fear as well. I try to avoid looking up any symptoms of schizophrenia but I keep doing compulsive mental checks of whether I’m hearing things or seeing things or not when I know I’m not, but I keep checking because I’m afraid of what if.

So I think my ocd that is connected to my peripheral vision has gotten worse. I’m paranoid that I have some brain tumor or a form of psychosis. I’m just constantly hyper aware of my peripheral vision. Just a small stain or mark on the floor makes me nervous cause I can’t ignore it. I sometimes feel I see things that aren’t there and idk if it’s my mind playing tricks on me but now it’s getting hard to focus on things in front of me because my peripheral vision will distract me. Ughhhhh how do I diagnose this. I can’t stop thinking about my peripheral vision. When I manage to distract myself and start enjoying and focusing on something in front of me my brain will bring it back to how wack my peripheral vision seems. I’m scared and I hate this. I can only seem to focus when I move around but when I sit down that’s when this shit starts up again and I’m just terrified of what this means for my peripheral vision and my wellbeing.

Can anyone give me advice about having ocd while in school because it’s starting soon and I’m scared that I won’t do my best?
