I think I am cross-eyed but my parents say I am not. What's Wrong?
(This is kind of confusing, sorry.)
So my mind is making me think I'm cross-eyed and I'm not. I really don't think it's my eyes. I can read and see, and even my parents say I don't look cross-eyed. It's my mind telling me I'm cross-eyed, and It won't stop.. I know that sounds weird, but what do I do about this then?

Actually I think I understand exactly what you are saying. I don't know if you wear glasses but I do. I believe this can happen to someone who doesn't wear glasses too. Sometimes our eyes can change. I remember a period of time over a week where each day my sight got worse. It was the same effect of like forcing yourself to look at your nose so that you see double vision almost, like being cross eyed.
It was so bad by the end of the week that I was scared to drive because I couldn't tell if the car ahead of me was in my lane or the lane next to me. I immediately made a rush appt. to see my eye doctor and they confirmed my eyes had changed. They didnt actually change in a weeks time but the subtle changes over time I could not pick up on. Then when it became an occasional cross eyed feeling but went away, I blamed it on my eyes being tired or stressed. It wasn't until it happened and remained that way i knew i had a problem. The doctors called it an Astigmastism, something that happened to my eyes besides my nearsighted-ness.
So the best thing to do is see an eye doctor to either confirm or rule this out. If you have no problem with your eyes, but you have thoughts about it, maybe something is going on in your subconscious mind that can be easily resolved by trying counseling or hypnotism. I'd go for the hypnotism first. Good luck dear.

I'm not sure I totally understand what your saying. If your eyes are functioning properly I don't understand how you could think your cross eyed. That being said if you were my daughter I would be concerned enough to follow up with a visit to the family doctor and ask what he or she felt about a visit to a Neurologist or neurosurgeon.
Obviously your brain is getting signals it is not understanding or interpreting improperly. One of the two specialists I wrote of above would be the proper doctor to consult with, I believe, to see if anything is, in a sense, causing a problem with the circuitry in your brain.
There could be any number of reasons for how you are feeling. The problem is as I see it; is to find out why you feel this way and how to fix it.
Your 15 years old, old enough if you want to call the family doctor and make an appointment to see him or her by yourself as well as see the doctor by yourself if your parents do not want to make the appointment for you. Should your doctor suggest you see a specialist then your doctor can speak with you and your parents for you and with you to explain why you need to be seen by a specialist and which one.
I strongly believe though that since you feel there is a problem. You should be checked out by your family doctor and follow whatever instructions or advice the doctor gives you.
