im 28 was diagnosed recently schizophrenia
i had a psychotic episode when i was 15
never had a major one since then, my
regualar symptoms i often experience :
aware of different presences
things touching me, make mundane sounds
threatening, often feel like im being
watched
irrational fears of everyday object
paranoia that people are against me hate
me talking about me dont trust anyone
ppl scare me
have perceptual changes
At the moment im scard to go in my living
room im never in there more than 10 mins
but most of the symptoms that r left r
negative
i wont list them cos theres so many
they say i have residual schizophrenia and
at 15 i had paranoid schizophrenia
alot of the symptoms i have now i had all
my life from first memories.
MY parents say i became parinoid about
ppl hating me at 7
mum thought i was depressed and took me to
see doctor who said i was just 'confused
and unhappy'
what i wondered is what did i have when i
was a child i thought schizotypal
personality or is there some kinda
pre-schizophrenia stage
i'm really confused and have tried other
forums but no answer
If it wasnt for my psychotic episode at 15
which fits paranoid schizo and i had no
idea i was sick and had i been offered
treatment would have refused cos i was
just waiting for 'them' to get me would
have thought they were trying to kill me
i would fit STP dissorder perfectly if it
wasnt for this breif psycotic period it
only lasted about 6 months and for a year
and a half afterwards was extremly
withdrawn and did little exept walk like
my life depended on it
then things settled down and went back to
how i was bf
any ideas am i schizo?

it's hard to say what you have, although
the threatening voices and the feeling
that you are watched are classic symptoms
of paranoid schitz. The other symptoms I
don't know what they mean.

Are you experiencing or have you
experienced any physical symptoms that
accompany these mental symptoms or exist
alone at times?

hi stan whatdo u mean exactly by
physical?
i feell sick and shaky and have heart
palpitations etc but i think thats
becuause of the fear
Its hard to say whats phisical and mental
becuase when im scared it consumes me so
im all feelings and they can only be felt
in the body
So i have lots of phisical sensations but
none i wud put down o anything exept
terror
Why what were u thinking could a physical
problem cause my experience?

Yes, and in fact I and many doctors are of
the opinion that the primary cause behind
all these 'mysterious' illnesses we're
dealing with anymore can be attributed to
physical causes, the most common of which
are sugar disorders. I mean stuff like
blurred vision (not hallucinations), sore
throat, flu-like symptoms with no
temperature, sore joints, digestive
problems and so forth. Feeling sick isn't
really a symptom of anxiety unless the
anxiety has become chronic, and
unfotunately if there is a physical cause
behind it it's hard to tell the
difference.
