  • Dude, you're definitely mentally ill. I can tell just from the way you write.

    You were probably diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Schizophrenia, I believe, affects about 1% of the population in the US.

    Go to a doctor. Schizophrenia can be treated and you can live a normal life.

    Go back to school. Go on Google and look up "adult education centers" in your area and call them. They often have resources that can help you get back on track.

    • dont make fun of me my family been doing that for years calling me retarted and stupid and idiot even in public to people that dont make me feel better it make me worse and i dont like it dang.

      even if i am mentally ill that doest mean i should be treated badly to the point it bring me even more down,geez.sometimes i think thos who abuse mentally people are even mentally ill them self.

      besides i know i am bad at writing and reading but i was in special school most my life and they did't though me how to write are read even spell good.

      u know the things people tell me, just kill your self.you cant even read.your retarted.that hurts and i dont deserve it.

      • She wasn't saying you were retarded. She wasn't attacking you in any way. She has probably given you the best advice of anyone on this post.

      • You're proving my point. This is how a paranoid schizophrenic would act as a response to perceived criticism. I didn't say anything about your family or intelligence yet you reacted to it. Read over it and you'll get my point. Schizophrenia affects everything you do.

        I used to work with the special needs, I'm not insensitive to disabling mental illness. Schizophrenia can be treated and with medication and regular therapy, you can live a normal life.

        As of now, you lack the education and people skills to be able to be independent and it's not going to get better until you see a doctor and get into contact with an adult education center.

        If left untreated, you will only get worse. In the event that your family decides to kick you out, you will be homeless and have less than you do now.

        I will say this one last time. You are mentally ill. Take advantage of the resources at your disposal.

        • i know you was't trying to attack me you was trying to help me but then the word mentally ill got to me i over reacted sorry for that.

          • Well, I wouldn't wait that long. If you have a community college in your area, fafsa.gov can help you pay for a college education and at school, you will likely have no problem getting in touch with people who can help you.

            Whatever you feel is best, you do, but do it while you're not having to worry about where you will be sleeping tonight and good luck!

    • What do you mean by the way he writes. yeah, i agree it sounds like OP is going through a very difficult time but this post does not sound like something a true schizophrenic would write. OP is speaking about some very difficult problems in his life in a coherent and logical fashion and inquiring on IIN if his experiences are "normal". Well, they're definitely not, but it sounds like the problem lies more with the OP's circumstances and not the OP himself. Whether or not the OP actually has schizophrenia, I can't say but incorrect diagnoses do happen for various reasons and this writing does not look like something a schizophrenic person would write. It looks like somebody going through a hard time, but it certainly does not look delusional.

      • It's disorganized, the symptoms he says he has are consistent and his reactions are too. If he is getting SSI then the diagnosis would have to have some merit. If not then him seeing a doctor will clear it up.
