Hi everyone, I have sensorimotor obsession. I have something like breathing and Swallowing. When I read a book that talk about schizophrenia. It really freak me out. And one the of the symptoms is hear the voice. After I read those book am really scare that I would have schizophrenia. So I keep checking the sound to make sure something is not wrong. And I keep checking the noise and ear start to ring. And the more I focus on it and it become loud. I go to check up at the doctor and the doctor say my ear is completely fine. Is this tinnitus or just my mine play a trick on me.

When I frustrated about this ringing in my ear and become even more louder

I've had sensorimotor obsessions for years now, including ear ringing. I had a bad bout with ear ringing obsession when I was twelves, and more or less struggled with blinking for a couple years now. The key is to not try to get rid of these obsessions when they come. Like when your mind focuses on the ringing, or the breathing, just observing it, for as long as it wants to stay. Learn to get comfortable with life while coexisting with this obsession, your goal isn't to get rid of it. It seems hard at first, but this acceptence gets easier with time. I have overcome this obsession before and honestly if handled correctly, it isn't so bad. Happy New year's!

I used to Have panic attacks as a child because I thought if My ear rang I was being possessed because the pressure in my ear would change. I think it's just the altitude I dont know but dont be scared ❤ it's normal. Breathe deeply when you hear your ear ring the ringing will stop. Dont freak out because you're "observing" the ringing . When it goes away continue on with whatever you were doing before it rang.
