Q: Shizophrenic, Mass Confusion! (or Is It Just Me...?)

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.
