People on this app are not trained professionals. Please do not take their ideas as the same as a trained professional assessment of you. Fear can create all kinds of things in our brain. You can see this with children who are afraid of the dark, they see shapes and monsters but nothing is there. They are just being human, not hallucinating. I think it is the OCD that cycles on this theme of having schizophrenia. OCD about schizophrenia is 100% different than being schizophrenic. Even if you can't sleep, you are laying in bed and resting. And that's all you can do right now πβ€οΈ

It could just be a visual hallucination, have you been taking any drugs lately? Stress and lack of sleep can cause hallucinations as well as a number of things, I sometimes see shadows or things moving but it's just my eyes playing tricks. However if you think it's schizophrenia, how long has this been going on for? If this seems to interfere with your daily life or it is accompanied by other symptoms, you should definitely get it checked out! I'm no proffessional so I have no idea if this helps or if it is entirely accurate but i hope you're okay!!

@π± Hallucinations are not abnormal for even the mentally well

@π± yeah if you're not taking any drugs or smoking cigarettes, then I don't really know. It could definitely just be your eyes playing tricks on you and I agree, schizophrenia sounds really scary and no one would ever want to have it or go through! Are you still seeing things or is it gone?

@π± I definitely think it was just a hallucination and you're eyes were just playing tricks on you!! But if it continuosly goes on, you should talk to a proffesional about it but try to get plenty of sleep, if it helps drink water, listen to music and focus on your breathing to calm yourself down!! Sorry if this doesn't help

Bro I'm scared rn, so there was a compulsion I did like 2hrs ago and I didn't do it properly cuz I kept getting a thought saying "something is gonna come in Ur room and kill you or you will have this illness It triggers me to say it but I froze because I kept seeing like a shadow and cuz I was home alone and it's dark so I didn't answer it π and cuz I answered it late saying obviously I don't want to illness I would rather have the other (half of me knows it's not real), and I prayed 4 times as well cuz I didn't do the compulsion properly I tried doing it again logs if times and 1 hour later I tried again but It still didn't feel right, and now the thought is hurting my body a little and I feel shivery, and I have tried doing the compulsion but it's not working. Why can't these thighs just leave me alone and stop saying about illnesses all the time. And idk how I'm gonna get thru the night cuz I can't get the thought out of my head and I won't be able to do anything properly.

I think I do have schizophrenia honestly it explains why I feel like people can look at me through my window in which I had to put dark curtains and even with the dark curtains, I feel like people can still see me through the window and through the window bathroom even though the window is frosted or texture looking and even when I walk around the living room, I have to close the curtains because I feel like Iβm doing something inappropriate and kids are staring at me sometimes I forget how to speak and my words are disorganized I feel like people plan stuff to kill me or the men in the street have r worded me sometimes Iβm convinced my 8 year old brother is planning stuff or taking pictures of me or has done something to me in my sleep then feeling like I hear whispering When u was in high school I use to cry because people stared at me all the time omg itβs all making sense
