anxiety hallucinations?

by kaylagoon, Jun 03, 2009 03:47PM
ive been having what im told is severe anxiety for about 6 months now but im really starting to believe its something else.i have many of the vision symptoms such as blurriness and sensitivity to light except my symptoms are constant and have not gone away once.all lights have halos and rays which come off from them.i also have double vision when looking at any bright objects or objects with light on them.i get severe negative afterimages and it appears as if im looking through static.i see random light flashes and cant look at any bright object yet ive been to the eye doctor and told my vision is fine.i sometimes will see things such as spiders which turn out to not actually be there.this often happens when laying down trying to sleep but not always.i also sometimes hear things like loud bangs,zaps,or door slams but i know they arent real and can almost feel them in my head.just last night i woke to this overwhelming feeling of fear and felt as if i was being watched but i was not having a panic attack. i feel like im going crazy and often get the feelings of depersonalization and that nothing is real and life is pointless.im only 15 but im starting to be terrified of everything and im not sure if i even believe in god,an afterlife,or any purpose to life anymore.at times i feel alone and am starting to lose touch with everyone around me.im worried that this could actually be a mental disorder like schizophrenia or bi-polar disorder which run in my family.the only drug ive ever done if you consider it one is marijuana and i have heard of people developing Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder from it.i also have many sleeping problems and get a total of about 4 hours of sleep on a good night but somtimes not even.could this be causing it,is itjust anxiety,or am i developing a mental disorder?

Ive had Panic Disorder for a little over a year at a half and when i get anxious my eyes do funny things

I see spots
increased floaters
i feel like the walls are twitching when my heart rate is increased

something to keep in mind...this happens to me almost everyday..hyper vigelence

i think i see something moving and it makes me anxious and i think im hallucinating but that i realize im catching a reflection of something for example my stove caught the relfection of the TV..i was freaking out for awhile over what i was seeing at the cornor of my eyes...just something to keep in mind.

Another thing..do you hear these sounds when you are sleepy like in the middle of the night or before you go to bed..i do all the time sometimes i think i hear voices when really its just my mind about ready to hit that dream state...its a weird blurry line between sensation and perception

I am fifteen as well and I am suffering from the exact symptoms that you have described. I am wondering if you have gotten any answers or any leads as to what this might be? I have been in and out of neurology dept.'s and psychiatric office's and none have been able to give me a diagnosis.
I find it bizarre because the passage you have written almost feels as if it came right out of my head.
Im interested in comparing my symptoms and experiences with you.
