Q: Am I Schizo?

Hi my name is anthony im 18 years old.



I have severe genereized anxiety (thats what my doctor says) and im not on any medicine.



I pace alot whenever I am up walking I am pacing back and forth..I really dont know why. Whenever my girlfreind does something that I dont know about (liek today she was pose to be ome at 1 but didnt come home till 230 because she was with a freind and forgot to tell me) I automaticlly accuse her of cheating or something and I get real upset. I get over it tho pretty fast

i just moved into my first apartment about 1 block away from my moms house. Whenever I go in the apartment I get dizzy and a headache and sometimes I think someyone is trying to *control me* because of the headaches and im scared that when I start sleeping there (i didnt fully move in yet stil lgotta get bed and everything) that something will just possess me and make me kill someoyne or something and I dont want that. Everyone tells me im geting headaches because of my allergys and the carpet is real old and smells real bad of wet dog. I beliave that but then sometimes I just scared that something will possess me and im just going schizo.

I talk to myself. I have conversations with myself when noyone is around like yesterday I was looking at my computer and noticed a lumunated light was blowna nd I started talking to myself about it saying *what is wrong with it man? I dont know man let's try to fix it* and I have normal conversations liek that almost everyday with myself but I know that there is not someyone there and I know that im talking to myself and not a ghost or something. Is that normal?

I have racing thoughts alot about cancer,me dying and other bad stuff that is very hard to get out of my head. Now I have a schizophrena thought that I have it but I know it will go away soon and it wil go back to say cancer or something.

I stay in my room all day most of the time with my girlfreind wathing tv or sleeping(she does to). Im not social I talk soft and I dont really like talking with peaple. I try to go out but then when the time comes I just dont feel like it and stay home. When im walking on the street and someyone is passing me I hate the thought of someyone comign up to me and saying hi or something or askign for something I get nervous and try to avoid that.


There's alot of otehr things but I cant really think right now imr eally stressed. Im just so scared of having schizophrena and hurting someyone


plz help?

Hey There...

hello anthony,

that's great news! Finding the cure or triggers to our problems is the way it should go down if possible. While medications can help us, they aren't the cure, and often times lead to addiction. Besides, the side effects can be numerous.

firstly, I think the diziness and headaches are definitely related to your allergies. I highly recommend having your carpet proffessionally cleaned by an outside service. You should be able to find someone affordable, that won't break the bank.




As for the troubled thoughts about sleeping there, and the possibility of being taken over (possessed)... Often times I too have felt dread while trying to sleep. If you're thought is that you might kill someone or "something", then maybe you should choose that "something".

After a couple months of witnessing many spider-like creatures right in front of me, either trying to sleep or right after waking up, I decided to do something about it. Feeling the presence of alien forces every night, and their desire to cause me fear, I took my own action. So what did I do? I went around the house, found all of the spiders I could possibly find, and sprayed them until each one drowned in misery. It felt great! Not only did it feel good, and feel like the right thing to do, but it also did away with these "hallucinations" or whatever the heck they were. More importantly, I no longer felt afraid to sleep at night. No longer did I stare constantly at the sole window in my bedroom, waiting for them to take me away.




There are many things you can do to prevent these alien forces from attempting mind control over you. It takes a little time and research, but I think it's time well spent. Fear an anxiety should never be an option.

not only is this normal, but it's also healthy. I do this quite a bit, and find it amusing to speak with myself while driving down the freeway. Instead of waiting till the other cars pass by, I find that speaking without moving my lips is an interesting trait to learn. Smile

i know most people would disagree with me, but I see cancer and diseases as more of an illusion of our minds than anything. I believe at one point I had cancer, so of course I felt ill, developed the effects of it, etc... Then I gave it up orally (through spit or cough) and haven't had it since. Like I always say... If you believe in cancer, it will also believe in you.

As for the thoughts of death. Death itself really is a misconception at times. When we talk about life, what we really mean is our life here on planet earth. As spiritual beings with human bodies, we have a life cycle to reach our goals and aspirations. Unless your cycle is complete, you continue on to better yourself. Death is simply a stage for a new life in a new vehicle. I don't know about you, but I simply can't wait for the keys to a new vehicle with a new road to drive down. Smile

many aliens (yes, from outer space) are already disguised as human beings. They use our form to do their dirty work, as it's much better than that of animals. Can't blame them. Wink in any case, these beings can be detected by some humans with a gifted perception. Often times we fear them, but in reality, many of these beings we meet in our every day lives are either friendly or neutral to our human cause. I've met many of them at my place of work. Don't get me wrong now, the majority have evil intentions. It's just that we perceive them as evil aliens and simply assume them all to be evil. Not all aliens are fallen angels as some presume.

If it's not aliens we're talking about and human kind only, then we need to remember that we can better ourselves greatly by meeting others in person. Interaction with other spiritual beings in human form of the same level can benefit us. We can learn from them, as they can learn from us and help them in their paths. They too are preparing for a new vehicle with a new road to drive down just as we are. We need to help others, as we help ourselves in the process.




Hope this helps...

I cant believe it !!!!!! I have also seen spiders crawling all over me or up the walls as im falling asleep or waking up ....

My first diagnoses was schizoaffective disorder and now its changed to bipolar though im starting to wonder if the first was right.

Sometimes I get paranoid ... Like someone has planted cameras in my room ..... My internet activity is being traced ... The trees are laughing and jeering at me ..... But it usually occurs when I have not slept for weeks (manic)

i also get sensations of demons around me which is really scary .... And I feel like electricty is flowing through my skin. I cant stand any noise or anything touching me.

Do you think it is schizophrenia ... Or bipolar .. Im not sure ... I have problems with hygeine, sometimes I wont shower in days/week or clean my teeth or I will sleep and wear the same clothes day in day out.

What do you think

First off, before taking any psychotropic medicine, always go to find out if you have any physical problems causing what you're experiencing. The last thing you want to do is take an anti-psychotic for 20 years and get the problems from it later on only to find out that you had some rare metabolic condition and now it's uncurable and you have to take another medicine. Trust me, this happens a lot. After you've finished that route then you can go for psychiatric help. Since you're questioning if you have schizophrenia, that means you don't have it. It sounds, from your symptoms up there, that you have trouble with obsessions, this seems to be the main and likely only root of your problems. If you find a physical cause, find out how to fix it, if not you need to take an approach to it that's similar to treating depression because both problems function on the same brain chemicals.
