Am I psychotic??

Sometimes I feel as if I'm not living in reality. Like sometimes when I look at myself I think, do I look like a hideous, did morphed human being? Sometimes I worry when I look at something my mind plays tricks on me and makes me see something someone else doesn't see. Like if I was odd looking, to me, id look normal, but to others I look disfigured.

Like, there are so many times to where I look at something really close up, and widen my eyes just to make sure my mind isn't playing tricks on me.

Before my Prozac medicine, I strongly believe I suffered from BDD

I can't say if you're psychotic, HelloWorld18. That would be for a psychiatrist or psychologist to diagnose. What I do know is that psych med's mess with our brains & the more of them one is taking, the bigger the mess, so to speak. Anxiety also messes with one's perception. It appears to me you're on allot of med's & then if you suffer from anxiety as well, I would suspect that those two things may be at the root of the difficulties you describe here.

I relate.

your topic question...am I psychotic.....Im sorry but only your treatment providers can tell you whether you are psychotic or not...what I can tell you is that the diagnostics for Dissociative problems is that reality testing remains intact. what that means is that you know what is real and what issnt while at the same time having dissociation symptoms....

again only your treatment providers can diagnose whether you are psychotic or not and treat you for it. my suggestion is that if this continues to bother you contact your treatment providers. they can help you discover what the problem is and how to treat it.

It sounds a lot like obsessional thinking to me. You are questioning whether you see the same things as other people and are getting anxiety about it. Have you spoken to a therapist?
