Hi,
basically I am always seeing figures and the world moving around me. Sometimes I hear voices telling me horrible things about my friends, even people I dont know. The figure loom over me and I can feel them proding me with their hands, sometimes I get so freaked out I just lye down and try to ignore them scrunching my eyes, but I can still see them.

When I look at the walls, floors, etc they move back and forth. I never feel like I am really here. Alarmingly I keep having these blackouts while I am walking around, but not taking in any of the surroundings (almost got run over a few times because of that, lol). Also while I am wondering around the world sometimes goes completely white. I had a 'fit' which is the only way I can describe it where my limbs moved all by themselves, luckily I usually manage to samwidge myself between walls or fall on something for support most of time so its not too bad (so far I have managed to pass it off with my friends and family-thank goodness they dont know).

I dont know what to do about it, i'm a student at the moment and run a society myself. I dont want all of this to be taken away if I tell anyone, if you see a doctor would they do this? ... Does anyone else experience these things? I feel so stupid because of this stuff, I see many horrible images as well as figures and I spend most of my night up fearing if I fall asleep they will harm me.

Thankyou for reading my long, endless story, :lol:
hope 2 hear from u soon.

You need to see a doctor. He will prescribe you medication. Ask for risperdal. I think that is the better one.

Hi
Thanks for your advice. I decided to go see a doctor today, and went thru with it. The first doc was ok, asked me questions and then said just wait here a min, i'm going to speak to Dr.(carnt remember name). I was waitin there for about 10 min when she comes back and takes me to another room with the other doctor in. She asks me lots of questions too. Then says i'm goin to make a report on this and consult with another clinic. Now I have to go back there on monday and pick up an envelope from the front desk, inside of which will be instructions. From here I should follow the instructions and also go to an appointment with a mental health team (group of doc's to ask me more q's, lol)

thanks again 4 ur time,
flowerlight

Trust your doctor only 80%. They could easily make a mistake. Know what options you have from the doctor. There are many directions you could go and be aware with the side effects if you take medication. The higher the dose the greater the chance you could get a side effect. It could be damaging.

Altwell for youhough you posted your question a month ago I read it just now. It sounds to me like you may have some form of epilepsy. Maybe im wrong. Im interested to know what happened with your doctor whether he sent you for any brain scan? I work within the mental health services and have seen similar cases, which has been the result of some form of epilepsy. It does not need to effect your work though as long as it is safe for you to continue. Your safety and wellbeing is the main priority. Hope everything goes
