Could I Have Schizophrenia Posted: 02-01-07 20:21pm
All theses things started last summer when
I turned 13. It started in august with
panic attacks. Well not really panic
atacks but a really dreading feeling like
I was going to die. I would shake and
feel sick. Then I started getting really
paranoid and feeling like I was being
chased I would also feel like people were
watching me. I noticed that sometimes I
would talk to myself like there was
someone else there and then I would hear
someone answer me. For a little while it
went away then it came back but worse.
Now I constantly hear footsteps behind me
and I feel people touch me. Also
sometimes ill hear voices out of nowhere
talking to eachother or to me. They are
really rude. They swear and sometimes
they say rude things to me. Ive kind of
learned to drownd them out. Ive also
gotten scared of things that I used to
like such as the dark. Silence is my
worst fear because when its quiet I hear
the talking and I see people and sometimes
animals. The other day I saw a snake go
into my bathroom. My mother doesnt
believe me she says that im making it up.
She thinks that I want atention.I also
think that my math teacher is out to get
me. Finally ive been going off on people
for the littlest things and feeling very
out if control. People have told me that
ive said things that I dont remember
saying( like my mother told me that I told
her that I hate her, but I dont rememer
saying that at all). My grades in school
have been going down too because I cant
remember assignments. An also I feel
like everytime im in a crow all people are
doing is staring at me. And also people
tell me that I stare into space all the
time but I dont remember ever doing that.
I also feel like im being monitered or
like watched on a camera. The slightest
noises scare me enough to make me scream
too. Yesterday I was in a store and
somebody opened the door and the bell
jingled and I jumped and screamed really
loud. The man gave me a really long
apology about how he didnt mean to scare
me. I cant organize my thoughts either
my mind just jumps from subject to subject
and I cant think straight. I also have
lost 2 friends this week and they say that
im really rude but I cant remember it.
And my coordination is awful. I almost
broke my nose running into a door today.
I didnt even see the door. I run into
walls alot too. This is the last thing
and its probably the strangest... I
honestly think that im a reincarnation of
someone famous but I dont tell people that
I just think it. I guess that I sound
delusional. I dont know.
Sorry it was so long...I really need to
know whats going on I went to a
psychiatrist and they gave me a bunch of
tests but I want some other opinions.
Thanks for taking the time for reading
this. My dad thinks its because I read
medical books but I didnt start getting
into psychiatry until this started.
Please relpy. I really need help

well nothing really seems to relax me any
more im really anxious all the time.
Things that used to relax me like laying
on my bed in the dark and taking long
showers now have something associated with
them that scares me. Like last night
before I took a shower I had to cover the
bathroom mirror with a towel because
mirrors scare me. I dont know why.
And laying on my bed in the dark is no
longer relaxing because im also absolutely
terrified of the dark.
Im not arguing with you but I just cant
find anything except maybe talking to my 2
really close friends that relaxes me but I
cant really talk for ever.
Hey can somebody tell me if these things
are considered auditory hallucinations...
When I hear things coming out of my mouth
like stuff that im saying but I dont
reconise the voice and I cant stop my self
from saying that stuff. Usually, thats
only when im alone but it happens other
times too. Also when that happens its not
even things that I say and it feels like
im listen ing to someone else talking.
By the way thanks for replying!!

Some Classic Symptoms Posted: 03-19-07 12:53pm
You have some classic symptoms of
schizophrenia: hearing nasty voices,
paranoia (feeling that the teacher is out
to get you), grandiose thoughts (feeling
that you are an incarnation of someone
famous). Visual hallucinations are also
quite common in schizophrenia. I don't
know what your doctor told you but maybe
you should seek a second professional
opinion. Please do it!
