Is this anxiety or something else?schizophrenia?

[Ducky25]

I do have a history of anxiety and OCD
But lately I've been experiencing a scary new symptom and I'm not sure what it is
I keep on seeing things out of the corner of my eyes, shadows or flashes of light. At least I think it is. It's progressed to the point that I fear it's something paranormal or that I'm possibly hallucinating.
I constantly have the feeling that someone is standing behind or next me.. even though I know no one is there
My fear of it being something paranormal, or having schizophrenia has progressed to the point that I'm scared of being alone.
I contasntly fear having that feeling that someone is standing next to me.
My therapist doesn't seem phased.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help.

No, this isn't what you fear.  That is quite different.  You sound like you have a symptom of something, could be your eyes or something vascular, for example, and because you suffer from anxiety you think the worst.  It sounds more like something that happens to people with migraines.  Have you spoken to your doctor or an ophthalmologist?

You are in the age when it could manifest then. However if your therapist isn't interested in that possibility then I would forget it. Why do you think he is wrong?

How old are you? Schizophrenia manifestation is date sensitive, so to speak.
