Suggest Treatment For Perception Problem And Inability To Focus Eyes

I have a very serious problem about perception. I cannot focus my eyes for long on the face of whoever I am talking to. I always feel very concious of where my eyes focus but i really just can t control it. Years ago I had a public breakdown wherein I just let all my feelings out, I was angry because I am suspected of being a thief. My officemate superior made hints, remarks although not directly so as excuse himself I m sure that it made me uneasy, annoyed and depressed. I just go along usually by engaging on his insensitive remarks. By then, it became constant and he always try to trap me and then observe my reaction. As a result I became paranoid. He cannot target others because they are like him and I am only a civilian employee. Prior to my breakdown I was diagnosed with hormonal imbalance due to goiter. I feel when I talk to another as I try to avoid it so that I will not be suspected, my eyes still wander on material things like cellphone. I now have developed fixation about these things, which is due to overly being sensitive to gossiping and observation by others. My eyes are doing the opposite, my brain says don t look. My other officemates know that I didn t do anything but doubt is always there given the fact of what they have observed about me. Am I suffering my anxiety? With OCD? paranoia? I was no like this before... help me pls.. I just want to die

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely think you are overly worried about this. A sort of obsession for the time being. But I thin OCD cannot be the problem. You are also not paranoid. Anxiety, of course, is part of obsession.

Everyone are obsessed with something somehow. Some people check switches again and again. Some make sure that their looks are perfect. Some sees that their home is in order. etc. Such obsessions are of positive nature. In your case, your obsession can be treated as positive unless it is not interfering with your work or life severely. If it affects your work or normal life Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
