Q: Visual hallucinations
asked by: askmetobelieve on April 20th, 2009

I have been having visual hallucinations. Normally its the same guy but occasionally there are black shadows and bugs. I get paranoid that people are in the house, peaking around corners at me. I also think people can hear my thoughts sometimes. I constantly think people are going to break in the house when I'm gone, so I never want to go anywhere. I have major anxiety about my family dying in the middle of the night and from the hallucinations and paranoia. I feel empty a lot of the time, and I can never bring myself to cry anymore. I'm tired all the time, when I'm not I feel restless and have to move all the time. My self harm has increased a lot as well. And I have no interest in doing anything at all. I currently have a diagnosis of PTSD and Bipolar I but I don't think these are correct, at least the Bipolar. I've only had one mixed episode my entire life [I'm 23 now]. I tend to get obsessive about my mental health and now I'm convinced that I have schizophrenia. If you don't think I have it I won't be offended I'd rather know the truth. Thanks!

Na you are a paranoid schizophrenic same as me. I have everything, except for i simply see shadows and silohuettes, but also hear voices. Go see your gp or a counsellor an they'll refer you to a mental health service who should get you onto medication.
