Don't worry, it's not schizophrenia, not enough symptoms etc. It sounds more like a dissociative disorder.
I would suggest seeing psychiatrist for some medication to control the issues. They usually see you once every few months for a few minutes at a time, for medication management mostly.
I would also recommend a psychologist for regular talk therapy. Once every two weeks or once a month. These visits are gonna be an hour or so long. They help you find the root of the cause and address it.
Also, don't be ashamed either. And when you talk to them, tell them everything. There is nothing you can tell them that they haven't heard before (or worse)... They are there to help you.
agreed. this definitely sounds like DID (multiple personality disorder) as opposed to schizophrenia. Then again, I'm no expert and I don't think having multiple personalities is any less insane than being schizophrenic. They're both about equal in terms of severity, just very different mental illnesses. This happened to me once while I was tripping and it was some pretty crazy shit, so I kind of know what she's going through
The problem with calling this a dissociative disorder is that mental condition is very unique to the North American culture. Cases of it are virtually nonexistent outside of the United States.
Does the OP live in the States?
Is it normal that my reflection harasses me and I can hear it?
