I Think I Have Schizotypal Disorder Posted: 02-18-05 18:07pm
I was diagnosed with bipolar. But as I
looked into it more and more I think I
have schizotypal disorder. Here are some
of my symptoms.
I keep hearing this mans voice in my head.
I refer to him as "he/him" he tells me to
do bad things. I also see this little
girl in a white dress with blonde hair,
and a tall older man in a tux. I have
lost a lot of my friends and am paranoid
to be in large groups of people. I cry
myself to sleep a lot of times because I
am lonly and want some one to want me.
When I finally get someone I do something
to screw it up or get scared and end it.
I have this reoccuring dream of me in
class and my shrink, the principal and a
cop come and put me in a strait jacket and
take me off in a white van. I also can
not keep focused for more than 15 minutes
at a time. I sometime start a sentence
and forget what I was going to say and it
ends up just a jumple of sounds. When I
am around a lot of people I get this
nervous feeling that something is going to
happen and sometimes just randomly
throughout the day.
I don't know if I have schizotypal
disorder but I think I might... Reply

Have you been to the doctor yet? It is
impossible to know excatly what is going
on unless you do. The only thing I can
tell you is that try and let family and
friends in, they can help you. They can
be your rock when you feel so low and you
cant cope.

Support System? Posted: 03-31-05 01:54am
If you have any type of healthy support
system, use it.
Do you keep a journal? For most
everyone, reading your thoughts and
feelings in retrospection can be heplful,
and sometimes even theraputic, allowing
you to put things in perspective to what's
going on in your life in general, in
reoccurring themes.
Is/ are there anything that triggers the
voice you describe?
If so, maybe write these things in a
journal, and try to avoid things that
cause you undue stress, or make a plan to
deal with stressful situations.
Are you able to tune out the voice? Do
you want to?
Some dreams people have while asleep we
will never think of again during waking/
concsious hours, while other dreams
people have during sleep are remembered
vividly.
I believe that the dreams we remember so
vividly are so vivid because our own minds
are either telling us something about
ourselves or environments, and our minds
are trying to figgure things out.
Sometimes I wonder if the voices and
visions of 'schizophrenics' would be as
burdensome, or shunned if they happened
during slumber.

dear malorie:
i know exactly how you feel. I was there
myself. It is a lonely feeling. But you
know what? There is a cure.
The voices you hear are demons living in
you. Demons and angels are all part of
the spiritual world. Some people -not
all- have the gift of seeing the spiritual
world.
There are two options for those people:
one to use their gifts to serve the world,
and the other to serve god with them.
The gift name is discernment. In the
world is called divination.
You have discernment but you don't know
what to do with it. You feel and see
things in the spiritual but because you
have not submitted your gifts to god,
therefore you are seeing and hearing
satan.
Satan is an ugly guy and is invisible.
His predilect dress is custom himself as
toughts.
The toughts or voices are real. You are
hearing them because they are in you.
Nobody else can hear them but you.
In the new testament, jesus healed a lot
of people with the same problems.
Actually, he came to teach us about
that.
The spirit world is as real as you and I
but it is invisible.
What you are seeing is real too.
Not everybody can see what you can see.
But if you ask god to help you the first
thing that will happen is that you will
also be able to see god and his angels
working in favour of human kind.
They are working as we speak.
Sadly, in this moment you only can see the
bad side of the spiritual world because
you have not given yourself to god.
Ask help, try god in this. If god does
not heal you, then call me a liar and
crazy.
But if you try god and he heals you, you
will be ask to help others, as I am trying
to do with you.
God healed me. I love him for that.
Since then, I hear not the ugly voices. I
just hear the sweet voice of jesus.

Schizophrenia, Not Schizotypal? Posted: 08-05-05 03:23am
Malorie,
hey, from your post there. It would
seem to me (based on what little I know)
that you may be schizophrenic, not
schizotypal. Though I believe they are
related.
I just speak from relating to your
difficulty with speech (alogia).
Difficulty outputing sentences and stuff
is a problem of mine as well.
Ultimately, I have recently been diagnosed
with schizophrenia, not schizotypal.
Also, if you have already been diagnosed
bi polar ... I believe schizophrenia and
bi polar are very closely related in terms
of severity and similar features ... I
think.
During my patient-career (heh), I believe
at one time they wondered if I had
schizotypal but gave me avoidant instead.
But now, they are giving me
schizophrenia.
Josh

When you see a doctor, ask what are my
choices. You will then see the many
different directions you can go. I
would educate myself as much as possible.
I would not rely on the doctor to make
that decision 100% for me. If I
listened to my doctor, I would have been
taking three medication now. I'm
taking nothing. I'm waiting for my
doctor to apologize.

Someone posted before that you are hearing
satan. This is not true.
You are ill, please see a doctor soon!
