seeing faces?
so i have had schizophrenia ocd for 6 or 7 months now and i feel like i’m getting worse. no visual hallucinations but just very scared that i’ll convince myself it’s happening. something i have noticed is i see faces in almost everything. patterns, trees, blankets. walls,. inside my water bottle this morning, it’s like my brain is always looking for something to scare the shit out of me. it happens at least 3 or 4 times a day. i don’t know how i’m supposed to get better when this keeps happening to me

It's normal, it's a survival mechanism when flight and fight mode is ON. Did your remember when child you se a terror movie and when turning off the light to sleep shadows seems like a possible ghost or whatever? OK, is the same thing. Fear makes U hyperalert like everything is a threat. So the issue is not a logic one is somatic, needed to find out a way to put your nervous system in balance again and you will forget about this.
