Am I Schizophrenic?
Posted: 06-18-05 09:25am

I have had hallucinations for some time. But recently it's been getting weirder. The people I see are carrying on conversations, the voices are telling me what to do and if I don't do it, I fear for my safety from myself because of how insistent they are. My doctor diagnosed me as mildly bipolar a year ago, and says my hallucinations are from that. They're constant though, and seem to bear no relation to my moods. I've also been having some odd symptoms like feeling really flat... Like no emotions at all. And sometimes thy're really random, mismatched emotions, like getting pissed off at my cat for meowing or laughing at stop signs. It's scary.... I just want to know what's going on with me. Can anybody help? I'm only 14, too... I heard schizophrenia doesn't develop until 15... Is this true? :?:

I can relate to you on the killing without emotion feeling. Although i'm not schizophrenic, I haven't been to a doctor or anything

Hey pal, I think I know what you mean. I have the exact same thing about killing without remorse. I don't know whether or not i'd call it schizophrenic, but I would say that it is not necissarily a problem, from my point of view. I know that I myself feel hardly at all. I know it's kind of ironic, considering my screen name, but it's true. I don't really feel emotion(s). But if it is something that you feel you are in control of, i'd say you are fine. I know it's something I am in control of and I have been doing ok for the past few years. But the hallucinations might be something to worry about a little. Those can get scary and unpredictable, and is not something that is associated with a bipolar disorder. Ask your doctor for recommendations for a second opinion, that would be my best guess :)

I've tried vitamin b and zinc. I looked it up and tried it before I got worried...
To iknowhowyoufeel: the feeling kind of is a problem with me... I've been put in a mental institution for od'ing on asprin. I was just wondering, you know, because I really have no idea.

It is nothing to be afraid of. Sometimes, life can get really confusing especially when it seems we don't catch certain things with people so they don't make sense. Does that ever happen to you.
