I have had a wierd obsession lately and it is really depressing becuase no matter how much better I think I am getting, something else comes along to take it away. I am constantly looking in mirros or ANYTHING with a reflection. Ive been doing it for years and I and my family have just adapted to it. Well, since ive had the scary thoughts and anxiety I will see myself and think, I just looked scary or "that guy looks evil" and think that I am part of a double personality. Like my look is so cruel and evil and I will really think I have a double personality when NONE of my actions seem that way. I just see it and the adrenaline rushes in and I obsess that I look or am evil...any comments?

I know its scary to you but treat it just like any other obsession. Accept it, float through it and refocus yourself on something else. Eventually it will go away no matter how bizarre it is. Deal with the real issues in your life as well...whatever they may be.
