Am I going crazy?

[Skiinggirl2014]

Hi there, not sure what I’m looking for. Maybe just some support. 4 months ago I developed Tinnitus(ringing in my ears) and it sent my anxiety into a tail spin. Recently I’ve started hearing a bang or sound as I’m falling asleep. It’s happened maybe 2 times. Sometimes I also see quick shadows in my peripheral vision. Like last night I though I saw my husband coming down the stairs when I was doing dishes but he wasn’t or I think I see my son coming into our room late at night but he isn’t. Or I feel itchy around bugs but I’m scared of them and only feel this way when I’ve seen ants/or other where I sit. I’ve convinced myself I have some serious mental issue like schizophrenia(my uncle has it). I’m always worst case scenario with things so I feel like I’m making myself stressed and by stressing out over these things makes it worse. Again I don’t know what I’m looking for, an answer maybe or just a “calm down” haha? I see a therapist but I don’t see her again for a couple weeks

For whatever it's worth, many of these things sounded very normal to me e.g. sometimes suddenly feeling itchy when I see ants. You sound pretty right of mind to me. I hope you are able to "calm down" about this soon, and get some peace <3

Hi there !

I also think it is normal about the bugs ! I feel like that talking about head lice lol

If the shadows continue you could get a eye test !

In my opinion those things are not all relate but can totally relate to you , I do the same , I start noticing symptoms and behaviors and I start to freak out .

Calm down is a good choice 😉❤️

No, I don’t think you’re going crazy, vitamin B6 deficiency causes a surprising amount of psychiatric symptoms, one of them being hearing and seeing things that aren’t there. I always hear hundreds of muffled voices when I try to sleep, it’s horrifying. Depsite all of that, my psychologist says that there are no signs of psychosis or schizophrenia. I suggest that you check your vitamin B levels.

Best of luck xx
