Shizophrenic, Mass Confusion! (or Is It Just Me...?) Posted: 04-19-06 08:42am
I've been reading up on schizophrenia and
i'm getting really confused. For me,
symptoms came on steady- starting out with
the memory difficuties and contemplating
therefore whether or not I had dyslexia.
Poor living then put me into a depression,
I was becoming more irratable, paranoia
became a factor too. Ever since I was a
small child, i've given random bursts of
phrases that come to mind. Only ever when
i'm alone and a thought comes to mind that
overwhelms me with guilt/embarrasment odd
words might come out that act to comfort;
it's a semi-conscious outburst, I have the
option to do the same with others around
but refrain seeing how precarious the
situation could become if I suddenly
shouted out 'sure! I'll come by!',
another point is that I don't usually get
to thinking these thoughts while in social
motivation. There's another thing, i'm
socially two-faced, some days i'll be
hyper and won't shut up, whereas others I
can't think of anything to say, my
monotonous voice I work on, so that's not
as bad, but still there. Then came the
convulsions, i've never gone into a full
on blackout fit par se; I remember each
one and there's a kind of twisted euphoria
that comes with each of them, a comforting
rush of endorphines.
I have no idea what's going on with me at
the moment, it doesn't worry me. But I
wouldn't mind knowing what it is. Could
it be that I am in fact a schizophrenic?
Or could I just be in the midst of some
hormone-enduced dyslexic, epileptic,
depression hybrid?
P.S- i'm actually from britain and I know
britain and america have differant
criterias for schizophrenia, but it helps
to hear some response

I'd go and see a psychologist to get a
proper diagnosis.

You are experiencing seizures? Seizures
are generally not remembered by the person
who has them because you are not conscious
during the seizure. It is like the brain's
electrical circuit is misfiring and that
leads to a seizure. After the seizure is
over the person is in a state called post
ictal. The person experiences fatigue,
confusion, agitation, sleepiness, a
sometimes nausea.
I would suggest you see a doctor. You need
to have a work up done to determine what
is happening with you.
