I think i have paranoid schiziophrenia. Can you relate - share your experience of psychosis and paranoia?

I was so paranoid i thought my psychiatrist was sending people to follow me to test me so i couldn't trust him.

I realise i was ill now but is it too late to tell him. I tried to tell my nurse and social worker about paranoia but i strongly feel they don't believe me because i kept quiet for so long. they think i'm putting it on but i'm not.

My son was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in Oct 2008 and he tells me the same things you noted above. Please remind yourself that no matter how real these delusions are, that you have a disease and the thoughts you have are yours but you need medication and therapy to help you stop going into these negative cycles.

You have to find a Dr that will treat you and you may need to go into a hospital for a while. Don't keep being miserable. You can live a normal NON -PARANOID life. The help is out there for you, reach out.

I wish you the VERY best!
A loving mom
