Q: My nana was a schizophrenic and recently passed away. She developed symptoms of it when she was married, which lead to her divorce from my grandfather. Schizophrenia is genetic and my family was scared that my sister was showing signs of having it. She was diagnosed as having an anxiety disorder at age 6 and with proper medication, she's doing fine now (she's 9). Sometimes I get scared that I'm showing signs of having schizophrenia and if not that then some other sort of disorder. I have a horrible anger problem that my family has threated to send me to counselling for, I have been getting panic attacks more often and I've been secretly dealing with bulimia. The reason why I think I may be showing signs of schizophrenia is because before I fall asleep, I will hear voices. Last night right as I was about to fall asleep I heard a girl voice (it was in my head) and it woke me up but it didn't scare me. This has been happeneing more often when I know for a fact that I'm not asleep yet. Usually it's the voices of multiple people but I can't hear anything they say (its cloudy). They sound like they're in my head or right next to my bed. It's always right before I fall asleep. It doesn't just happen at home either. I'll be out sometimes and fall asleep (say at school, on the bus ride, etc) and it will happen. I know it's not anyone around me either because its literally right next to my head (no one is close to me). I just realized how strange it is that I'm hearing these things. It's never gone further than it just startling me/waking me up. Has anyone ever experienced this? I know I need to talk to a professional about this, I just wanted someone's opinion on it. Thank you.

i dont think you are schizo, just try and be happy and blow it off. hallucinating when you are tired or barley concious is somewhat normal i had it every night every morning and all threwout the day on and off. dont convince yourself you are it because then it gets sooo much worse, because it can be a tricky mind game. like for me, i was treated as schizophrenic, bipolar, ptsd, anorexic and i had severe anxiety. which i had no heredity of any of that in my family. ptsd i can see bc i had something extremellyy bad happen to me. i went to many stupid doctors, one nearly every other day for a year and being treated like all thoes things made my mind believe i was all thoes things since i know everything about them all because that is what i study. i tried not to believe but self and mind are two different things. i still dont know what was ever wrong with me, i still am addicted to painkillers and am still am in paranoia or people. dont be scared, worried, n dont think you are. talk to your closest friend and if it gets worse go to a psychiatrist. blow off the hallucinations if you dwell on them they will get worse, think of it as a sign of sleep. the only way i escaped the constant doctor visits and pills so often was talking to my boyfriend and best friend, going off on my doctor and refusing visits and pills. be strong you know yourself better than them. by doing that within a while i was doin better than i thought possible because i had hope in myself and was independant which kicked out most of my paranoia and hallucinations, derealization, depression, mania, and i ate non stop and i told myself anxiety was a mind game which that was a year ago im almost all the way gone with anxiety and hallucinations. other than that im great. moral to my freakishly long answer is that you need to just believe in yourself before you even question a doctor, you can fix yourself better than them, think of it as soul over mind and right now your mind is over your soul. you can do anything you set your mind to. i really hope i helped if not just reply and il try again lol sorry its one am here. everything will get better :)

Q:
I'm looking for people with experience taking psychiatric medication (for depression and other problems- Klonapin, Adderall, Seraquil, etc) that would be willing to be interviewed over email.
My email address is xokristabelle@yahoo.com.
It's for a paper I'm writing for psychology about the negative psychological and long-term effects of these medications. Any stories or information will be helpful. Thanks.

Q: is anyone here schizophrenic? it was one of my vocab words and the definition is "a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements." what do they mean by different elements? like you're living in two different worlds? i once saw a movie associated with someone who is schizophrenic, but what is life like?
