I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Ever since a year I’ve gotten pretty bad social phobia around others. After spending about ten minutes with anyone my body goes into fight or flight mode and I have to leave to the situation to be alone. I can’t concentrate on something like the TV or magazines when sitting around with other people. My focus goes to where I’m looking and I can’t keep my gaze off other people. People in public cough at me like something’s wrong. Drivers make signs or press their brakes to alert me to my state. I tried to attend a class and I had to get up and walk out because I start to lose focus and focus on other people and I don’t want to make them uncomfortable. I try to look away from them but my peripheral is too strong. Diagnosed with schizophrenia in the spring when I had my first psycosis. I took olanzipine for four months now on Vraylar low dose. Are these signs of sz or what is wrong with me?

It’s good that you got a diagnosis.
I used to be hypervigilant about things going on around me too. It’s a bit of paranoia I think which is a symptom of schizophrenia.
The meds will hopefully help.

No, medicine has only slightly improved my hypervigilance. Does anyone else experience it too?
