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± 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?

@hiii it was when it was pitch black so when i put my flash on my phone up to the ceiling it went away. then i turned my flash off and looked at the ceiling again and nothing was moving

@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

I am so so so anxious, I cant even describe it. I have this horrific anxious feeling going through my body where it feels like im about to do something terrible. I feel incredibly sick, shakey, panicky. Due to this harm ocd episode. I am so scared that I might act on a disgusting horrific harm intrusive thought. I dont wanna be near knives, go to the kitchen or even get up. As im so scared that Im going to act on it. I know I dont want to but this anxiety and horrid feeling makes me feel like i do. I am petrified the anxiety is terrifying. I sat in the kitchen earlier while my brother was close and I was scared because it feels so real even typing this im starting to panic. Please respons please and please say if your uk based it brings me a bit of comofrt as I know im not alone in this country! What makes it worse is my family were talking about their aspirations and dreams then i felt even more scared of the intrusive thoughts because if i did act on them they would be destroyed and then I also feel so much guilt cos i get scared my bf is scared of me has anyone had this does it go.

iβm currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i donβt know why. iβve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know iβm not going to get sick but iβm just really panicked and cannot calm down. iβm currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and itβs only making it worse but i donβt know why. i just donβt want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i donβt know why iβm so scared. it just feels like itβs never going to go away.
