Schizophrenia is a lifelong brain disorder. But how do doctors define it? And is there a cure?...

Q: Hello! If Your Online And Can See This, Can You Respond!!!!!

Hello. I don't know where to start. I don't think I have schizophrenia, but I wonder if someone can tell me what could be wrong. When I was around 3 or 4, I started seeing an image of a woman. She wears what appears to be a black wedding dress. She has messy hair. She always stands by my door when I do see her. She only spoke to me once. She said, "shhh, it's okay." i'm afraid of her still to this day. I dream about her, and sometimes I believe I can feel her presence. After many years, I was talking to my older brother. The topic came up, even though we had never talked about it before. He has seen her as well. Now i'm not sure if she is real or imagined. We established by our ages, I was the first to start seeing her. Now days, I stay up all night securing the windows and doors, cause i'm afraid of intruders. After doing so, I think, " man they got me now, now i'm trapped, cause I nailed the windows shut, they tricked me." then after that, i'm afraid she's here. What is wrong with me? I'm now afraid of doors and can't sleep unless I can see them. They can't be behind me. I hate windows as well. Please can someone help me make sense of this. I just need a logical explaination. Thank you for your time.

Why should you be scared of her? From what I read, she hasn't harmed you or acted as a threat. She seemed to sense your fear of seeing her and she tried to reassure and comfort you with words. Is there such a thing as a black wedding dress? Maybe she was in morning. It seems this apparition is trying to get your attention since she comes to you in the physical world and in your dreams. She seems rather interesting to me. You're not going crazy and you have no reason to fear. You may not believe in the spiritual world or the after life, but don't dismiss them either. You should try talking to her next time and see what happens. Your paranoia of intruders is a little overboard. You need to let go of these thoughts before you really do go nuts. As for a logical explaination, I don't you're going to get one. You are just being visited for whatever reason and you should try to see it as a gift rather than a curse. You should see a psychic (but with research first) and see what may turn up. Keep an open mind about it and it could be fun and enlightening.

I hope my small insight can be of some use to you. Good luck!

Both you and your brother have seen it, that definitely rules out schizophrenia... I think you have a ghost... especially being able to feel her presence and her being in your dreams

I think krispy's advice is good except for the visiting a psychic part. Why have some psychic feed you bull?

It doesn't rule out schizophrenia actually, there is the possibility of psychosis by proxy, it happens more than you'd think.

generally when you are younger, it is possible to have stong connection to things that alot of adults can not see. it is possible to have seen a ghost when you where 3-4, because you would have had this sense back then, they only disappear when you stop believing or are not scared anymore,
remember ghosts and apparitions can not hurt you, plus dont bother with phycics, because they are most proberly shams.
I have seen many ghosts upto the age of about 16, the last was an old lady, which signaling need for attention, safety and comfort. learn not to be scared, because we will be ghosts, one day.

and the scitz thing, my 3 bros all have seen the samething and are not scitz so there

Wow, thanks for all that hearsay evidence. Ghosts? Give me a break, eventually science is going to figure out exactly what all that is and it will totally bumb out all the occultists out there when they do to the effect of when humans finally figured out the earth rotates around the sun.
