have been feeling wierd it seems as if im
in a dream world or something. I cant
sleep at night im so scared of the night

scared im gonna start hearing voices or be
paranoid of everything. I always wanna be
in bed I dont think anyone is gonna hurt
me or anything and im not paranoid yet.
Im always dizzy and I havint been eating

It really doesn't sound like schizophrenia
to me (i've been schizophrenic for 20
years). It sounds like you may have a
lot of fears or that you're reacting with
panic and fear to something that's
happening to you or that may have happened
to you in the past.
I'm not trying to diagnose you but
sometimes when we go through trauma when
we're younger, we block it out of our
memory and don't even know it happened to
us; just something to consider. Do as
much as you can to relax, take time outs
when you're under a lot of stress, and if
your symptoms persist, tell a trusted
adult and consider seeing a counselor or
therapist to tell them about what you're
feeling.
Don't stress, everything will be fine.
Come back & let us know how you're
feeling.

You sound as though you are what is
known as depersonalized - which can
happen along with or after severe
anxiety panic attacks. This frame of
mind will very likely pass ...
Very likely you would benefit from
individual psychotherapy - it would repay
your doing it

This may sound offensive, but its totally
not. But I just thought maybe you should
look at being a hypochondriac. Because it
kinda sounds like you are. It is a
dissorder that alot of people can not
help. Just a thought.

yeah it sounds alot like hypochondria,
i've sufefred from it for years and still
fight it to this day but its not as bad or
at least my reaction to my over analytical
thoughts in regards to health are no
longer as severe. ended up sucking down
rediculous ammounts of xanax for 3 years
because of it till i got so bad i almost
needed to goto rehab. panic atacks can be
frightening and cause a depersonalized
state following, like its such a major
shock to the system that you become
disconnected so you dont have to
experience it full force. even right now
im rationalizing every possible reason to
have a bleeding ulcer but its most likely
gas or something minor. unfortunately when
things actually go wrong i tend to under
react and from that problems can arise so
it simply comes down to, if i'm that
worried, see a doctor, demand tests and
take his word for it even if i trust my
own instincts better than his because even
if something is killing me (besides living
lol) then why waste time stressing out
trying to figure it out, easier said than
done more often than not but its a
helpfull mindstate to keep. best of luck
