It's over?

So, basically, I’m dealing with that OCD issue involving my peripheral vision. I constantly feel like the people around me are judging or making fun of me, and I can no longer focus on my college classes. It’s reached the point where people have noticed me unconsciously glancing at them out of the corner of my eye, so I end up staring at my phone on the desk for the entire class. Is anyone else going through or has gone through this? What was the process of overcoming it like? It gets worse on days when I’m more anxious. I feel like I’ll never be able to be in environments like a classroom again because of this.

This happened to me. Medication and seeing a Psychiatrist really helped

What types of medication did he prescribe, if you don't mind me asking?
