I think I am schizophrenic...?

Question

I was reading up on some stuff whilst web-surfing a while ago, and I stumbled upon an article about schizophrenia.

Ever since then, I've thought that I have it.

I mean, people have always thought I was a little 'odd', and I don't make friends that easily because of my personality.

I have very disorganized thoughts. Like, someone will comment a person on their new shirt which happens to be white, and I'll think/or say; 'I bleached my socks yesterday. I heard that when you put bleach on floors, that makes them super clean. I have to clean my room. The walls in my room are green. I like green. Except sometimes green makes me think of puke...I puked when I was like seven one time...'

And sometimes I actually will hear some sort of voice, it's usually when I'm trying to fall asleep, or when I'm spacing out. It's really creepy.

And I just don't understand concepts like Math; I mean if there is a 'variable' or something, I have to know what the X is for....why is it there? What does it mean?

And sometimes, I'll have these really weird thoughts like; What if I'm actually dead, and I just don't know? What if I'm in a coma right now, and this is just a dream that I think I'm living in?

And I'm really paranoid all the time, I think people are talking about me, and I can't trust anyone.

I don't know whats wrong with me, but If I told my mom, she would probably freak out, or ask me if I'm joking, and I have this extreme phobia of hospitals.

What should I do?

Answer 1

I think, you think a lot.

You could have sleep paralysis (not serious, just anoying) try getting more sleep, you could also be stressed. I have heard voices in the middle of the day (as a teenager) some were strange some were friends and family. I can assure you I don't have schizophrenia or anything else now, or then.

Do you have much conversation with people? Do peoples reactions confuse you? With the example above would you actually say all that or just think it? This might be something that you will want to understand, I would advise telling a doctor and/or talking to a psychologist (if you are in USA, they usually work for your school district, if in UK try the school or the local authority) If you are in college they will be on campus or at the school somewhere. Anywhere else just go to the doctor and they should set you on the right track.  Just tell them what you said here and anything else that confuses you.

Anyway just remember that most people who read the symptoms for any mental illness will always find traits that they have.

Answer 2

i dont think you should be afraid to let your mom or dad know about this situation. This might be a potential case of Sckitz. You said you hear voices sometimes which is a common symptom. I cannot stress this more BUT do not be afirad to  TELL someone, the sooner you can let this out the sooner you can find out what is really going on. You should def seek some professional help.  

Answer 3

DUDE

it happens a lot with people reading articles about health . have confidence and remember fear makes think that you have things so stop reading and find your self a lovely habit

Answer 4

I don't think you are schizophrenic, probably just an odd person. I mean, you may have some sort of heightened risk for it, but at the moment you are fine. The voices at night are called Hypnagogic Hallucinations. A lot of people get them. It's pretty normal.

"Hypnagogic hallucinations are episodes of seeing and hearing things as one is falling asleep. As the subject drifts off to sleep, he/she moves into a state that combines the environment, of which the subject is still partially aware, with a dream-like state of sleep, in which he might see people and hear them talking."

But, if you start hearing voices during the day and you aren't tired at all, then you should see a psychiatrist/psychologist.

Answer 5

You need to seek some professional help. It's not normal hearing voices in your head.

Answer 6

I think your just freaking yourself out.

But what do i know lol

Answer 7

"I have very disorganized thoughts. Like, someone will comment a person on their new shirt which happens to be white, and I'll think/or say; 'I bleached my socks yesterday. I heard that when you put bleach on floors, that makes them super clean. I have to clean my room. The walls in my room are green. I like green. Except sometimes green makes me think of puke...I puked when I was like seven one time...' "

Nothing wrong with that, your making an association between white cloathes and bleached init??!!!

The truth is there is one person you can trust and thats your good old self, you might be able to trust another with a small cup of sugar, but never under any circumtances should you trust them with something important, because everyone has a weakness, and that weakness can inspire them to use every thing they have against you. You need to become completely non attached to others, you like them you value them but actually they mean nothing to you at the end of the day coz you've got your self there and thats what you value. Why care what they think take a step back, and see how they work. What are they saying about you, why woudl they think you are an idiot from that? Turn the game around on them.

Wence upon there was darkness there is light.

X means a number that your suposed to work out what it is.

x+1=2

there for x = 1

See?

Alot of people think they ca't comprehend alot of things but actualy anyone can comprehend anything, stop thinking just look at the b*****d.

As for worrying about things like are you dead?

Who cares?

YAWN!

Voices are'nt so simple, don't worry about them ignore them they will probably go away. More often than not it is something external to the psyche that causes these (though doctors will tell you otherwise). If they persist look up teh occult and stuff on the internet.

Much more fun than psychiatry.

Learn dettachment.
