Am I schizophrenic or just crazy?


Question Posted Wednesday April 2 2008, 7:42 pm

I think I might be Schizophrenic.And Im not lying when I say this either. I feel really weird saying this I've only told three people. Well,Sometimes I hallucinate demon and demonic and scary weird stuff. Like when I blink... and it happens so fast that by the time my eyes are opened its already gone. But ill remember it. They're really super graphic and realistic and sometimes I will see like... almost shadows with no face or shape. not normal shadows and they like move either fast or slow and theyre scary.
I see those in my room at night all the time. and I see those with my eyes open.This has happened to me my whole life and it seems to get worse as i get older.I will also seem to feel something brush by my shoulder or tug at my clothes and pull at my hair and when I turn around, nothing is thier. I looked schizophrenia up and it says depression and anxiety are common to have along with it. and I have Severe depression and anxiety so that really got me thinking..So yeah can you tell me whats wrong with me and if I should see a doctor. I dont really wanna tell my mom is their a way I can get around telling her and still get help? I told her once when I was little and she didnt belive me.and she always thinks I lie for attention

It's not unusual for people to experience visual and auditory hallucinations. Such events usually occur during the wake/sleep circle. However if you are hearing a running commentary of voices in your head, or see images (not there) for longer than two seconds interacting with you, then you should seek consultation with a psychotherapist. Schizophrenia is a combination of delusions, hallucinations, and importantly, a disorganized form of thinking, which is revealed through speech and written words. Another sign of schizophrenia is just a general apathy towards daily hygiene. It sounds like you struggle mostly with anxiety, and as a result, your visual and auditory hallucinations are amplified in your mind. Ether way, it wouldn't hurt to consult with a school counselor to process your stressful thoughts and feelings.
Good luck.

So youve been "seeing" these things your whole life? Im really interested in what else you might have seen and a little bit more of a detailed account of whats been hapening to you i really think I could help becuase if it is what I think it is my lil sister went through the same thing. I think I could help you but I need more information. If you could please email me at AskAmandaLyn@aol.com and we can discuss this further. I would really like to help because if whats hapening to you is what happened to my Sister than your going to need it.

no man. its ok i went through the same thing its just a phase. i went through it for four months. just dont think about it. find something else to do. if your a guy just start hooking up with girls to get that stuff off your head. if your a girl then go shopping. look i went through it its not schizophrenia man its just paranoia. you have a really active imagination. take all the bad stuff in your head and write a book on it. find stuff to distract you

whether its schizophrenia or not, you should still see a doctor. telling your mom that you feel awful and you think you need to see a doctor could do it, you don't have to specifically say you see things or any of that.
