Hi, I'm wondering if OCD and a psychotic disorder can go hand-in-hand, OR if someone could be misdiagnosed with OCD when they really have something else. Because I have OCD, but I recently had a hallucination.
I had a hallucination a few days ago, where I kept seeing shadows out of the corners of my eyes. Sometimes I'd see them on the wall, just big blobs that would move away quickly. I also heard little girl's whispers. It was so scary, I thought the shadows were going to kill me and I thought I was going insane! The next day, I had a similar attack. I also briefly saw rain falling through the kitchen ceiling, another hallucination.
I also have been experiencing odd delusions lately. For the past few weeks, I've needed to sleep with the lights on or else I'd die. I've also had this belief that my stuffed bear is going to kill me.
Now, I DO have my right state of mind. I know all of these things are ridiculous. But during the time that I'm experiencing these things, it all seems so real.
Could I have a psychotic illness? Please help!
