hi I'm 18 and my names Hunter, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if i'm paranoid or if i've possible inherited my grandfathers schizophrenia.

- Here's a Few things that make me think i may have
- often pondering over my life and its value,never comming up with much
- i often think of suicide
- hear voices like my mom calling for her dogs and other things i would normally hear but while i'm home alone
- i constantly have an inter monologue running in my head and sometimes i think of what im going to say and something totally different or negative comes out
- i sometimes cant spell or have trouble pronouncing words i know WELL!!
- i cant keep freinds and often see no point in gaining new ones
- expect for school im almost completely isolated from anyone, not that i need to be since i have purchased my own vehicle
- i have a girl friend and i cant seem to want to stay with her for long
- sometimes my mind and my mouth combined and i say 2 words at once
- Lack the want to do anything spontaneous like i used tojavascript:emoticon('Rolling Eyes')
- there are more but none come yo mind

If anyone can give me some pointers i would be grateful

More details?
Greetings Hunter.. I'm Andrew. 21 years old. You sound like me, when I was younger. Before I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder. Which is a combination of Bipolar/Schizophrenia. (incase you didn't know). Anyway, with you hearing your mom when she isn't there, is not enough to actually diagnose you with schizophrenia. A lot of people hear commands, and even see things that aren't really there. So, if you could give us more details, if you can think of them, that'd be cool. But, if your constantly thinking of suicide, you need professional help, because that's not normal.

Feel better man,
Andrew
