I have this one problem I can't get rid of. I am really tired of it and it won't go away because, well, it reminds me of it every single day many times. Please help me with advice!!
Here is my story.
I had this one friend, who I moved in together. This friend liked to observe people's interactions and means of communication a lot, that was his forte. One day we were talking and he said, You know I've noticed that if a person doesn't look me in the eye when we talking then it's a definite sign of weakness. This pretty much set off the problem. From that point on, I , for some stupid reason, started to stare at him like dumbass every time we talked and he really liked talking. It was like a game but for real. Then our relationship started to deteriorate for some reason, I don't remember even why but that's irrelavent. And when I started to stare at him even harder, not to show the weakness, you know, accrding to him. I didn't want to show him that I am weak. Stupid I know but that continued on for a YEAR. After a little while, I was just looking at him with my eyes wide open and couldn't concentrate on what he was saying at all, just on maintaining eye contact. That really screwed everything up for me. Now I don't know when I need to look at a person while talking when not. When I am looking, my eyes automatically start to widen and I can't concentrate on what a person says. I thought that may be it will go away with time but it's not going away, because other people's eyes has become like an anchor for my mind, like everytime I see eyes, even MY OWN EYES in the mirror(even eyes of the people on a picture, can you believe it?) I have this automatic reaction. Everytime I see another pair of eyes, it just reinforces my problem. After it went on for a while, it got worse, now everytime I talk to somebody, my eyes start to hurt, it's like someone poking me with the needle in the eyes and because of this I immediately look away. Then it got so ingrained that I felt like my eyes hurt all the time, even by just looking at anything. Recently they started to hurt when I was just talking on the PHONE with someone, because I guess now, talking to people and people's voice is associated with pain. So obviously because of all these I started to avoid communicating with people, became highly anti-scoial, my memory and thinking abilities started to degrade and I don't know what comes next. This problem exhausted me. It's ruining my life completely.
I went to experienced psychitrist and he said that this is what I have is called a compulsion and presribed me Lexapro. I started taking it but afraid that it's not gonna help because Lexapro is from depression, of course I have a depression big time but the cause of it I don't know if Lexapro would help. Other than that it seems like he was confused and didn't know what to do with me and what else he can advise me, I got this feeling.
Please help. What kind of mental exercises can I do? Can anybody recommend where I can seek help? Hypnosis? NLP? Any good hypnotherapist in Oregon?
Willing to travel anywhere in the United States if somebody can give me high chances of recovery.

If you are under a Doctor's care and he/she has prescribed a treatment - you will most likely have a hard time finding a qualified professional Hypnotherapist who would be willing to work with you.
Hypnotists are not doctors and no ethical practitioner will try to work with someone who is currently under a Doctor's care or using prescription medication for treatment.
Stick with your current plan of treatment. Should that fail, at some future point, when you are no longer on medication, you may want to consider Hypnosis.
