Schizophrenia! What Symptoms Do You Personally Get? Posted: 08-09-07 01:30am
Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum and just interested
in everybody else's symptoms in detail of
what you actually experience.
I always have constant racing thoughts,
mainly negative thoughts about everything
around me, as well as negative thoughts
about myself. I hear voices, they seem to
switch between male and female, and they
tell me what everybody else is thinking,
and then tell me bad things about myself.
I don't have many visual hallucinations
but I used to prior to medication
(Zyprexa/olanzapine), mainly shadowy
figures which I put down to being demons..
feeling things touching me, stroking my
hair, pressure on my head pushing down on
me.. which I know believe to be somewhat
related to extraterrestrial beings.
I get a lot of disorganized thinking.. all
my thoughts are all over the place and I
can't control them. I have disorganized
speech patterns where I switch topics or
derail off conversation..but nothing
majorly concerning.
Echoing/repeating what other say, twisted
sentences around, etc.
General paranoia, being paranoid that
people are talking about me, planning
things against me, all that jazz.
So what symptoms do YOU get? (prior to
medication, if you wish).

Here is an interesting one.
Voices are said to be delusions.
Mine kept me informed.
For instance, I would flip a quarter and
would be informed which side would end up
face up.
I did this in front of a couple of buddies
of mine. One decided to make bets against
my success. After I had correctly
predicted the outcome of coin flipping 12
times in a row, with a little help, he was
starting to sweat because he owed me a lot
of cash by then.
He said that I was cheating, and so I told
him to flip the coin and slap it down on
the counter all while I am looking in the
opposite direction. I kept on giving the
right predictions. After I reached 27
correct predictions in a row, I laughed
and stoped while telling him to forget
about the cash.
I could have kept on going on and on and
on and on and on and on ......
