Do I have schizophrenia?
Ok I don t know whether I do or don t but like I haven t told my therapist yet because I don t have a session until next week or so... I don t think thoughts like "I have special powers" or "i think my girlfriend is poisoning my food" just so you know. I only think weird random things that suddenly pop outta nowhere... for example I was thinking "bugs could rule the world if they were bigger and smarter" like.???? I have no control over these thoughts and sometimes I see or hear things no one else sees or hears.. not all the time but sometimes. I also get strange feelings someone is watching me idk why. I also change subjects mid conversation and my parents hate it!! I also have a bad habit of talking really fast :(. I don t know if I have pls help.
Do I have schizophrenia?
Ok so I'm a 14 year old girl, I have anxiety and depersonalization/derealization, my biggest fear is getting schizophrenia. Like no joke. So about 3 days ago, it was really quiet in my room and out of my RIGHT ear sounded like a really reaaalllllly distant whisper.. Like it literally sounds like someone is saying s's over and over. This usually occurs when I'm really thinking about it and fearing about it, when I'm sleeping at night, I don't hear this at all.. And like when something loud is happening I feel like I can actually REALLY hear whispers then if the noise went down I didn't hear anything at all. Like, if something was happening around me like just a rustling noise, I immediately think its a whisper inside of my head and it freaks me out because I really don't wanna go crazy and start hearing voices..Nobody in my family had schizophrenia, at least I don't think... could this be my major anxiety and fear and my brain is playing tricks on me? Or could this actually be schizophrenia... I'm scared out of my mind whenever I start "hearing" this and I'm really paranoid. Also, my right ear has kind of been hurting from time to time and I'm losing a little bit of hearing like when you go on a plane and you have to pop it.. So could this just be an ear infection and my brain takes it as "whispers" or what? I need an answer fast, please I'm literally terrified out of my mind I could not eat at all these past days because of it and every second I'm thinking about it :( help
Do I have schizophrenia?
Well to your main question, it's not possible for us to know if you have Schizophrenia.. you haven't really explained any details about why you think you have it.. Anyways, you would need to seek a real doctor about that... Do you know what Schizophrenia is..? It's seeing and hearing things that aren't real. If that's happening, odds are yes, you might. If you're not seeing or hearing things, then no... you probably don't have it and likely never will... I think pretty much every person on earth, or at least the majority, has had similar thoughts about rather or not everything is actually "real" or not. I, for example, have always wondered what if my entire life is just a dream and I'm actually something else (Like an alien XD) and what if I just wake up and it turns out everything was fake ? Sounds ridiculous, right? That's why you and I both know those thoughts are unreasonable. You even say you don't believe it. It is a possibility, in our minds, but in reality, it's not true, therefor it's actually not a possibility. And I can tell you I am a real person, therefor you shouldn't think I am a fragment of your imagination, lol. Trouble concentrating and bad memory are not really signs of Schizophrenia. If anything, trouble concentrating means you're more likely to have ADHD than Schizophrenia. But even then, there's helpful medication for that. It's kind of weird because I've been diagnosed with anxiety and I have trouble concentrating (though I do in fact have ADHD) and my memory is quite horrible lately.. and I've also wondered at times if I've had Schizophrenia, but for different reasons..So this is a bit weird xD.. But I don't believe I'm crazy and I don't believe you are either~
Do I have Schizophrenia?
Okay, so I'll start from the beginning. I'm seeing a student counselor, yet her supervisor Debbie, is a professional physiologist or psychiatrist? I've only seen her once, and tomorrow I see her again. She says she wants to get to know me better then diagnose me. But I HAVE to find out soon! Before everything drives me insane! I cant just walk around and not know whats going on! Well, anyways, here is what keeps happening: Sometimes, when I walk down the street the clouds talk to me(: Like you know how you have green grass, and blue grass? Well the clouds say that it's my fault the colors are in the grass. But its ok because their my friends. Then I sit up in my room and hide under the covers and talk to myself, or Seven. Seven is my friend that I hear in my head and everyone else doesnt hear him. He tells me to kill myself and run away because if I dont God will. And I dont raise my hand in class because I already know the teachers can read my thoughts. I swear they can but no one else believes me! I get scared at night and hide under the covers and spiders crawl on my walls. If I dont have a cover on people will rip me in pieces. I always feel like people are watching me...through blinds, or hidden cameras in my room. Like right now Seven is yelling at me because I'm not supposed to tell you guys this stuff. When I go to school I think everyone is going to hurt me, or pull some kind of prank on me! My shadows are just evil people in disguise to get me. When people laugh, I know their talking about me. I swear. When I go up the steps at my house, I feel like somethings gonna pull me down by my feet. I sit alone at lunch and I dont like to talk to anyone. I sit in my room all alone in the dark. One day I saw my art teacher with his eyes in the back of his head. People say I make no sense when I talk? They say its all mixed up and makes no sense what so ever. I know this wont cover everything, and I know this wont give me a one hundred percent accurate diagnosis, but maybe it's just a warning.
Do i have Schizophrenia?
Hello. Iam here to ask if i have Schizophrenia(Just to ask if these are symtoms of it). I have been told i have OCD. But i just want to tell of a the symptoms i have: I get very depressed, for absolutly no reason and or angery. Alot of times i cant control my energy or actions. I have the urge to out of no where flinch. As for a few, i herd that voices are herd by some Schizos. i dont hear voices, but i do argue with my self, sometimes out loud and sometimes think that iam not the only one in control of my actions. I also count my actions, such as steps taken how long it takes me to wash my hands ect. I dont really houlisinate, but i sometimes see somthing thats not there, such as my cat or dog, not a person. I also think that certain line ups of object such as cars or trees have a meaning, and i belive that i have found a secret of some sort that i only know of, and it holds answers. I also have hatefull things said to me still inside of me and it wont go away. Are these symtoms?
How do you know if you have Schizophrenia? ...?
i don't even want to be writing this. But i have to know. Ever since i was little, i have secretly thought (*believed - i know. its crazy) that i was meant for a bigger destiny. I have been driven to fulfill this "delusion" of myself my whole life and, as a result, have been extremely successful. But, i have a double life. Everyone knows me for who i seem to be - sweet, happy, successful, independent, and very smart. But no one knows i suffer from depression, apathy for life as it is, and the inability to feel... happy. i have admitted to my mom that i feel nothing - i am completely and totally cold and numb to any and all emotion (except incredible sadness, loneliness, bitterness, and fear). Voices in my head constantly put me down, tell me i fail in life, even though i know its not true. I feel like i'm constantly battling between reality and... whatever world it is inside my mind. Of late, i have been suffering from severe apathy and social withdrawal - two things which are completely unlike me. Because of it, i broke up with my boyfriend and alienated my best friend. I hate who i have become, but i don't know how to stop it. For a few weeks now, i have suspected that i suffer from Schizophrenia, but was in major denial. I mean, who wants to admit that they are crazy?? I am so afraid i'll lose everything i have - i can tell you right now, my future is very, very promising. I don't want to lose it. Not now. I did some research on the disease and found i can identify with many of the symptoms. I fear that my suspicions are true, but i don't want to tell anyone. I still am under my parents care, so its not like i can seek out a psychiatrist on my own (i don't really want my parents to know - they can't afford help like that for me anyways). Finally, my question is, is there any way i can test myself to see if really am Schizophrenic?? and if i do have it, how far and how fast can it progress?? (so far, i just seem normal. everything that happens, happens inside my mind and no one knows. i want to keep it that way, if the disease can't progress.) Please i know this is long, but i'm desperate. Please take me seriously
