  • I believe I've had it since I was a child. All my life, The older I get. Each year that passes. My symptoms become more and more severe... I've tried to get diagnosed but the people around me don't believe me and say that I'm lying, but I know that there's something wrong with me. Paranoia, Hallucinations of every kind, bizarre mood swings,etc. It's not normal for anyone.... Write down every single symptom and get a "psychiatric evaluation". I think that's what it's called, but PLEASE don't see a psychiatrist! I have one and the last vista he found out about some of my paranoia and he and my family laughed at my "beliefs"... Psychiatrists suck, please see a therapist or perhaps go to a hospital specializing in mental illnesses. I don't know how old you are, but I think if you're still a minor that you can be "forced" into treatment. My doctor said that at my age, that I can't be forced into taking medication if I don't want it. So, be careful and read up on everything you possibly can.

    Good Luck!

    • Thank you for the advice. After reading all of these reviews, I've been trying to speak to my mother about it, so that she can enlist a psychologist to help me. She minimized everything. I attempted to explain that, as we spoke, the chorus of characters in my head were commenting on her every action and word, and that the voice of a British man was iterating her thought process. She began to laugh nervously, and informed me that everyone creates scenarios in their head before they enter a strenuous, social situation. I've also tried to express my fears to a friend of mine, who lived with me for a month, and she chided me, and told me that I couldn't be schizophrenic, because I didn't act like Donnie Darko (a character from a movie).
