Could I Be a Schizophrenic Posted: 10-17-05 09:26am
Well basically I am 18 years old and
lately have been thinking, well obsessing
that I am schizophrenic. Since an early
age I have always been a very paranoid
person but it’s been getting worse. I
don’t hear voices as such; it’s my own
voice thinking inside my head that I am
schizo and I convince myself I am. It’s
starting to affect my work, as I have been
moody, one minute feeling very happy then
next down in the dumps. I also keep
thinking people aren’t understanding me
when I talk and that I am not making any
sense as they always ask me to repeat
myself and to explain myself. I also
think that people don’t like me or think
I am strange or crazy. I feel like it is
affecting my relationship I am in at the
moment as I think up some bizarre
scenarios, which I know aren’t real and
are only in my head but for a slight
moment believe they could be true. I just
feel like everyone is against me at times
and that I am driving myself crazy. I am
too scared to talk to anyone about it as
my parents would just think it’s me
being a drama queen and I think my partner
would just dump me in a second I need help
or advise but I am too scared to go to a
doctor.
