This sounds very odd, but I have an extreme phobia of Biology (the school subject). I also have OCD, depression, and I have panic attacks.
Whenever I enter a Biology lesson, I go into a kind of psychosis-like state - why is this?
Also, I have a weird feeling that I belong somewhere else; in a different school, specifically. I've changed schools once already but I really do feel out-of-place in the school I'm currently in. What causes me to feel this way?
Something that's been worrying me as well is that I develop obsessions with people, which leads me to develop obsessions with their friends and hobbies, etc, and it's DEFINITELY not normal. What could be wrong with me?

I am not a professional in the psychology world, so I am not really sure what you are experiencing.

I would say that if your phobia, and obsessions are interfering with your ability to function at your desired level of happiness, maybe you should speak with someone about it. A counselor may be able to provide some tricks as to how to help yourself in these moments.

I would say, in the mean time, you can try to remind yourself to stop and stay focused. If you feel you are getting carried away, i.e., zoning out in Biology or starting to obsess about something, try to remind yourself to stop and focus. Remind yourself this is your issue and try to regain control of your over your situations.

I heard a friend suggest to another in a conversation once, to write the words "stay focused" on your hand somewhere. It could serve as a little reminder until you get it down. Maybe you could try that.

Do you have to take Biology?

I definitely would speak to a counselor (school or otherwise) if you feel the aversion to biology as well as other people.

Trying to focus on things instead of being obsessed is a good thing too.

Best,
