Jay1 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Please tell us a little more about your symptoms, your story etc. It's extremely unlikely you have schizophrenia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) No it's pretty unlikely you are developing schizophrenia, it's most likely HPPD. I see afterimages and lines all the time, which can be apart of HPPD's visual symptoms; I tend to also experience depersonalization/derealization which could be contributing to the mental confusion you are experiencing. These symptoms can worsen with stress/anxiety (especially DP/DR), and convincing yourself you have something far worse or are going crazy just heightens the problems. If you had schizophrenia, the symptoms would be far more drastic with possible false delusions and hallucinations. Is there anything else you are experiencing?

You aren't going crazy, you are just experiencing some of the many side effects that can come with HPPD, most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
