Well hon we can't diagnose you, we can
only provide support. Share some of your
experiences!! But in the meantime, you
need to find the help of a doctor who can
properly diagnose and treat you. Do your
parents know?

yeah, im pretty set with a doctor, and my
parents know.
some experiences is hearing voices while
listening to music with head phones
hearing people call my name out, when im
alone
i got really into Adderall, last year, and
it started with having fun taking it, to
making hundreds of dollers every week,
while taking very very large doses at
once.
alot of the times, when i was at that
point, i talked to people who i was
reading about, or whatever.
also, i smoked weed for about a year, and
i noticed i had a very hightened
parinoia.
i feel very keen to sound, and am
constantly looking everywhere trying to
find somthing, that i thought might be
there.

I would suggest not taking the drugs, that
will only make it harder for you to
recover. Are you on medication for
schizophrenia? And why were you on
Adderall?

Hey be_here,
You're only 16, and with everything else
going on with you now (hormones and all
that wonderful stuff) your treatment and
diagnosis is probably going to change over
time.
The first thing trained mental health
professionals are supposed to treat is
substance abuse. You need to stop the
marijuana and Adderall so everything can
clear and the docs can determine what's
going on without the influence of
substances.
It is going to take time to figure out
what is going on. It's an evolving
process. I wish you the best of luck!

i can relate to this, once at a concert i
was in the crowd and i was fully under the
impression that the person singing the
song was directing it at me. i could feel
him looking at me and even tho i dont
think the song was "evil" and i was in a
crowd of like 2500 people, he was saying
hateful things straight to me thru his
lyrics. strange sensation
the above posts are correct, while i do
not know you or what your like alot of the
typical 16 year olds ive met that think
they may be schizoprenic or anything of
the like are quite surprized to meet me
and see paranoia and delusions first hand
and instantly realise that they might just
be going thru a hard time or substance
abuse maybe or maybe even just are looking
for attention(not saying you are).
schizoprenia is dianosed over a fairly
lengthy period of time, well in my case it
was. how long have you been hearing voices
for and is it off and on or a constant
stream?
not trying to discredit you. just offering
my opinion
