I Think I Have Schizotypal Disorder Posted: 02-18-05 18:07pm


I was diagnosed with bipolar. But as I looked into it more and more I think I have schizotypal disorder. Here are some of my symptoms. I keep hearing this mans voice in my head. I refer to him as "he/him" he tells me to do bad things. I also see this little girl in a white dress with blonde hair, and a tall older man in a tux. I have lost a lot of my friends and am paranoid to be in large groups of people. I cry myself to sleep a lot of times because I am lonly and want some one to want me. When I finally get someone I do something to screw it up or get scared and end it. I have this reoccuring dream of me in class and my shrink, the principal and a cop come and put me in a strait jacket and take me off in a white van. I also can not keep focused for more than 15 minutes at a time. I sometime start a sentence and forget what I was going to say and it ends up just a jumple of sounds. When I am around a lot of people I get this nervous feeling that something is going to happen and sometimes just randomly throughout the day. I don't know if I have schizotypal disorder but I think I might... Reply with comments please

Have you been to the doctor yet? It is impossible to know excatly what is going on unless you do. The only thing I can tell you is that try and let family and friends in, they can help you. They can be your rock when you feel so low and you cant cope.

Support System? Posted: 03-31-05 01:54am


If you have any type of healthy support system, use it. Do you keep a journal? For most everyone, reading your thoughts and feelings in retrospection can be heplful, and sometimes even theraputic, allowing you to put things in perspective to what's going on in your life in general, in reoccurring themes. Is/ are there anything that triggers the voice you describe? If so, maybe write these things in a journal, and try to avoid things that cause you undue stress, or make a plan to deal with stressful situations. Are you able to tune out the voice? Do you want to? Some dreams people have while asleep we will never think of again during waking/ concsious hours, while other dreams people have during sleep are remembered vividly. I believe that the dreams we remember so vividly are so vivid because our own minds are either telling us something about ourselves or environments, and our minds are trying to figgure things out. Sometimes I wonder if the voices and visions of 'schizophrenics' would be as burdensome, or shunned if they happened during slumber.

dear malorie:
i know exactly how you feel. I was there myself. It is a lonely feeling. But you know what? There is a cure.
The voices you hear are demons living in you. Demons and angels are all part of the spiritual world. Some people -not all- have the gift of seeing the spiritual world.
There are two options for those people: one to use their gifts to serve the world, and the other to serve god with them. The gift name is discernment. In the world is called divination.

You have discernment but you don't know what to do with it. You feel and see things in the spiritual but because you have not submitted your gifts to god, therefore you are seeing and hearing satan.

Satan is an ugly guy and is invisible. His predilect dress is custom himself as toughts.

The toughts or voices are real. You are hearing them because they are in you.
Nobody else can hear them but you.

In the new testament, jesus healed a lot of people with the same problems. Actually, he came to teach us about that.
The spirit world is as real as you and I but it is invisible.

What you are seeing is real too.
Not everybody can see what you can see. But if you ask god to help you the first thing that will happen is that you will also be able to see god and his angels working in favour of human kind.

They are working as we speak.
Sadly, in this moment you only can see the bad side of the spiritual world because you have not given yourself to god.

Ask help, try god in this. If god does not heal you, then call me a liar and crazy.
But if you try god and he heals you, you will be ask to help others, as I am trying to do with you.

God healed me. I love him for that. Since then, I hear not the ugly voices. I just hear the sweet voice of jesus.

Schizophrenia, Not Schizotypal? Posted: 08-05-05 03:23am


Malorie, hey, from your post there. It would seem to me (based on what little I know) that you may be schizophrenic, not schizotypal. Though I believe they are related. I just speak from relating to your difficulty with speech (alogia). Difficulty outputing sentences and stuff is a problem of mine as well. Ultimately, I have recently been diagnosed with schizophrenia, not schizotypal. Also, if you have already been diagnosed bi polar ... I believe schizophrenia and bi polar are very closely related in terms of severity and similar features ... I think. During my patient-career (heh), I believe at one time they wondered if I had schizotypal but gave me avoidant instead. But now, they are giving me schizophrenia. Josh

When you see a doctor, ask what are my choices. You will then see the many different directions you can go. I would educate myself as much as possible. I would not rely on the doctor to make that decision 100% for me. If I listened to my doctor, I would have been taking three medication now. I'm taking nothing. I'm waiting for my doctor to apologize.
