For a few months now I have been concerned that I may be in the early stages of schizophrenia, but I am really unsure and I am too afraid to talk to anyone about it. I'm even nervous about posting about it here to be honest. I recently found out about schizoaffective disorder and now I'm wondering if maybe that is more of a match for what I am dealing with, but again, I don't know. I am currently diagnosed with OCD and Depression.

As for the symptoms, I have been having trouble with memory and forgetting things a lot more. I also have been hearing noises that seem out of place, one day I kept hearing whispers around me, and seeing things that I am not sure are real or not. They are not severe things that I would definitely label hallucinations, but I see colored shapes randomly and things moving in my peripheral a lot. And I also mix up things a lot more. I am constantly trying to distinguish things from dream I had and reality. I get a lot of deja vu sensations too and feelings that something is familiar, but I don’t know why. In addition, I am much more paranoid than I have ever been. I try to talk myself out of these thoughts, but I still can’t help but to worry a lot.

I was just wondering if anyone has any idea of what the problem might be or any similar experiences?

Thank you.
