OCD - Eyes staring/rolling problem

[agile123]

Hello,

I have been diagnosed with OCD. I am 35 years old and I am on medication for the last 13 years.  I had one seizure once and I have taken the treatment for 5 years. I have no problems with that. I have the following symptoms for OCD

Eyes staring : This is the most difficult thing I have been facing for the last 13 years which has affected me a lot. The problem is that when I am in a group(Class, work, home) I feel that others are looking at me and my eyes focus towards them. Even though I know that that is a weird feeling but I just cannot control it. If I am working on my computer in my office my eyes keep rolling to my fiends even though they are not looking at me and I know that.

Same thing holds true when I am speaking to my boss and some of my colleagues join the conversation. I cannot help but my eye balls keep looking at them and I cannot focus on the conversation. Also the same thing happens while I am praying and some other people join me. I just cannot focus on the prayers but my eyes focus shifts to them. I often have to close my eyes while I am doing these.

Since after 13 years the symptoms still continued ( It was reduced but still bothers me a lot) I thought of seeking an alternate opinion. I consulted another psychiatrist and I told him about my problems. He was of the opinion that I was diagnosed wrong and it looks like case of psychosis(Bipolar disorder NOS) though not a strong one.

Personally speaking I don't agree on the second doctors diagnoses but then the problems still lasting after taking medications regularly for the last 13 years has put me in dilemma.....I have read several symptoms of OCD but I have never seen my symptom listed anywhere. These problems don't allow me to put my 100% effort in there. I probably use around 50% of my skills. I really need to get out of this mess.


Please advice..

Thanks,
