i was wondering if someone could answer
this and maybe tell me what exactly is
wrong with my head cause i know theres
something. im 18 years old ive been smokin
weed pretty much every day for about 4 yrs
taken various other drugs in the past
pills, speed, coke and acid although ive
stopped now. i think theres one person a
cuzin i have with schizophrenia not sure
tho, i have strange view of people and how
they look and think about me, sometimes im
so paranoid that i cant leave my room or
lay on my bed because i think something is
gonna jump out or somebodys gonna run thru
the door to stab me in the back if i dont
face face the door. sometime if im in a
dark place ill make my own shapes out of
the faint outlines which sometime turn
into ghoulish outlines of faces or people
in the distance, i also have bizarre
thoughts on time and religion, and some
particulr ones that could only be
described as delusions of the granduer. i
soemtimes think that i am smarter then
people and then i get biazzare thoughts
about there motives to be my friends
enimies watever, my thoughts jump from one
another sometimes i get stuck on a subject
for 15 minutes and ill rant on over the
top of people or sometimes sit just
quietly but the strangest thing is that it
all seems so normal to me kinda making me
feel liek im the only person like i am if
you know what i mean but im not? so could
someone please tell me what could be wrong
with me
id like to point out im not encouraging
drug use of any sort

I don't think anyone here can really tell
you what's wrong except that drugs,
including weed, can induce various
negative states including schizophrenia.
It's not clear to me what you have, but
you should stop the weed, and if you don't
get better, see a doctor.

No, im afraid not.
Drugs do not cause schizophrenia, they
only agitate the pre existing condition of
a schizophrenic.
I read that somewhere, I wonder if it is
true.

thanks for the replys, i was also
wondering, i have terrible insomnia
sometimes leaving me awake for 5 days at a
time with no drugs at all, leaving me
extremly dillusional as you would expect.
Could this be related to anything to do
with schizophrenia or some other mental
illness? and on the weed i think weed
didnt cause it, just the fact that for
years i surrounded my mind and all my
thoughts with it kind of alienating me
from "society" just my thoughts. i
appreciate any thoughts on this

That's exactly what I meant - that they
induce an otherwise latent schizophrenia.
redeme, if you try some drugs it might be
helpful. I have lots of thoughts that just
kill me, but with the risperdal it's not
so bad.

True, a schizophrenic is completely
screwed without medication.
It's worth a shot, but if you try any of
these medications just make sure that you
are prepared for what may happen, educate
yourself on the subject. But if you are a
schizophrenic, it's your best option.
