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.
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).
Is it normal To Think I Might Have Schizophrenia?
