SCHIZOPHRENIA

Why r u doing this to meeeeee

god damn it bros I don't want to be schizophrenic ;_;

what meds do you guys take?
abilify here, it helps but still its fucking bad.

you forgot to also put the feelings in your head you head sometimes they are intense as fuck like mine are.

>>26452867
They're risk factors for prodomes (i.e. how you are before it happens, if at all)

>>26452651
>Maybe your social anxiety isn't social anxiety
Don't turn this board into tumblr
People here already bitch about how their social anxiety prevents them from living a normal life but the truth is, the majority of cunts here are just bitches. They're lazy and they know all the problems in their life could have been prevented. They're also immature so they're scouring for any reason to blame ANYTHING else, whether it's women, the system, some imaginary psychotic problem they have just to make sure they don't have to take responsibility for their own failures
Don't give these people ideas

It's pretty accurate but I'm in the army now so it's too late to get help. Not that I even want to. On thursday an nco from 3rd plt was telling me all this shit about "if you think something should be done this way then say it" and "you need to come out of your shell and talk to people to learn". I responded with fragmented thoughts that only sounded like an excuse. Pretty much every interaction with people at work leads to me going into a nervous breakdown on the inside but somehow I pass on the outside.

They've even started calling me "space cadet" because I have a "spacey look" on my face.

>voice in your head thinks/says things you can't control that pop into your head and inspire cringe moments, insult you, berate you, attack you, make you feel retarded/worthless
>>thoughts in different peoples voices in your head you can't control that comment on your actions, insult you, say put downs, etc...

At least I don't have these. Thank God.

Does constantly thinking an alien will abduct me in my sleep make me a schzio or simply overly paranoid from horror films and documentaries? Cause I'm fine otherwise in life.

>>26452989
It depends on how much it affects your life and if you really believe aliens are going to abduct you or its just a small paranoid thought

Am I a schizo if I'm afraid demons will jump out of mirrors?

I sleep right in front of a mirror, it's horrifying.

The wiki description of schizoid personality disorder fits me 100%. Should I go to a psychologist?

How do you know if you're actually schizophrenic?

I've been on a waiting list to see someone about this for ages now. The warning signs more or less apply to us all but what are the really big red flags?

>>26453094
paranoia & delusions
hallucinations (auditory/visual)
constant anxiety/frequent panic attacks

>>26452651
i make rose threads every day, i feel a connection with this.

>>26452651
Am I disordered
I guess if you ask that means you aren't

The most I've had is sometimes I hear my mom or someone else I know calling to me from a great distance even though I know they're not home
I'm lazy
I'm so clumsy , been that way since I was young I have no idea why
I have a weird unplaceable accent , qpparantly it was very British when I was a kid and as I grew up I just sound foreign despite growing up and living in the aame spot of Southern USA
I am lazy and not very goal oriented
I never feel lonely or any really hurt for being alone

Sometimes it does feel like my thoughts argue with themselves. But that's normal that's probably just me right?
My memory isn't since I was a kid , sometimes I forget what I was just thinking about or trying to type in.

I'm really afraid of the dark, if in a dark part of the house I run out of it
I guess I am paranoid, I hate the idea of being spied on online

Buy the fact I admit these things must mean I am 100% normal and just trying to find something to blame my failures on

I don't really have an emotional reaction to many things , even when I was a kid and just heard about how my dad died I didn't react , I still don't react to anything now. I don't really ever feel sad that often. Hell, when I was a baby I made very little noise apparantly.


I have friends, they just sort of happened . I play the funny guy with puns usually

Whatever this is dumb bullshit

>>26452651

I'm cyclothemic.

I guess I got off lucky.

>>26453303
Also sometimes I am like >>26452887
I feel like when I'm in a social situation some other part of me kicks in and I become funnier and more in tune with other people
At the end of the day I usually regret about how extroverted I was acting

Shit. Whenever I think of a cringy moment, I whisper to myself "you retard/imbecile/idiot.." Its getting out of control. Is this a sign?

>>26453303
I'm not afraid of anything. A walk at 2 am feels the same as a walk at 2 pm. That's my problem these days really. Everything feels the same.
I can also still feel emotion. I can feel sad while watching a movie. I can laugh at a joke. Sometimes it does feel that I trigger them because I feel like it's appropriate, or maybe that's just how emotions work.

I feel like I just want to think it's not my fault that I don't have any friends. Everyone in real life thinks I'm failing. That can't be my fault. It's something else.

>>26453352
That's more like minor OCD/anxiety

>>26453303
>I'm really afraid of the dark, if in a dark part of the house I run out of it
I do the same thing I'm paranoid someone is waiting to kill me every time I go into a dark room.

There is no such thing as slight schizophrenia that you need a thousand symptoms to diagnose it

Hallucinations
Speech that doesn't make sense
Delusions and paranoia

>>26453369
I still laugh and things
But I guess I have strange reactions
When I was a kid I was really weird, I could break out into a non stop laughing mania for no reason even in public places , rolling around laughing in restaurants
>>26453387
Same, I also have a small fear of mirrors
My fear of the dark was so bad I slept in my mom's bed until puberty started

>>26452651
I also don't have any issue with hygiene at all. My parents even say I have a fear of contamination (even though I don't really).
My room is a mess though. I don't know where to find stuff.

What's the difference between internal voices and external voices?

The fact that you can put together a sentence means you don't have schizophrenia

/thread

I was diagnosed major depression with psychotic features, schizotypal personality disorder and schizoid personality disorder. Should I stop smoking weed?

I really don't want to be schizophrenic.

>>26453429
nobody here has full-blown schizophrenia. you can still have symptoms of it.

>>26453437
weed fucks with your brain. I don't care what pro-weed people say, it really does. you start forgetting things when you're on it for a long time and I'm sure there's a bunch of other shit it does to you

I used to have all of these a lot worse and my voice in my head would regularly tell me to kill myself
What scares me is that they've been getting better lately
I don't know why but I don't want them to be gone, this stuff is all I have
Its all I've ever had

>>26453438
>>26453429
People with schizophrenia can post normally and communicate semi-normally IRL, even when experiencing psychosis. Completely garbled word salad is extremely uncommon. It's because of this most schizophrenics experience months and even years of symptoms getting worse before treatment or people take notice.

>>26452887
I'm in the Marine Corps, but I feel the same way. I might go see mental health soon, but I don't wanna be a bitch at the same time. Might just try to ride out my contract.

Nobody here has it.

I started slipping about a year ago.
They started psychiatric evaluation on me one month ago.
They haven't identified anything with me, but I haven't been very open with them yet.

>>26452651
Many of those points fit on me D:

>>26452885
i'm perfectly aware that everything wrong with my life is my own fault but i still don't plan to do anything about it

>>26452885
you seem to imply that there isn't any overlap. that isn't true.

not saying that what you said isn't wrong btw

lately i've been seeing people who aren't there in my peripheral vision

>>26452651
>all of these things describe me except for being clumsy

My dexterity and reflexes are great but all those other things hit the hammer on the head. Fuck.

>>26454328
Oh wait I forgot the last part, I don't hear voices or people telling me to do things or insulting me...although I do talk to myself a lot...like a whole fucking lot. Like before I would only talk to myself when something big happened, like let's say for example someone tried to bully me or punch or something like that...when I get home, I'd start talking to myself and explaining what happened as if I was talking to someone else...then I start talking about things I would have done and what I'm going to do next time if that thing happens again. I only used to do that when something drastic happens but now I find myself talking to myself more and more often even over little things.

>>26454216
I see that too. Sometimes it's just flashes out the corners of my eyes...sometimes it's just dark shadows...Sometimes I swear I can see full blown hands reaching out the peripheral of my eye and soon as I turn it's gone. I just assumed it was side effects from 3-4 years ago when I used to stay up for like 4-5 days straight and have horrible headaches and see shadows and shit.

>>26453037
Move mirror? Or move bed

besides taking medication, it helps to just learn and remember what is considered normal and true and just cross-reference your thoughts and actions against what they should be when things are going bad mentally.

The voice would say everything in first person, like "I bet the Devil my soul that I can't run to the wall and back in 10 seconds", stupid shit like that, and I couldn't turn it off, I'd get so scared sometimes I'd start crying

>periods of great self esteem followed by crushing depression brought on by either a failure at a trivial task or sometimes by nothing in particular, followed by a period of cautious silence, trying not to feel anything to avoid the crushing low I feel.

Thus, I spend about 60% of the conversation staring at random points in space rather than the person, but I can't help it, because otherwise if I make a conscious effort not to, I stare directly at the person's eyes, but it makes people uncomfortable

>give up on things, everything. I just can't finish a damned thing.

>lately at night when I'm nearing sleep I hear what sounds like a room full of voices.

It sounds like the background in a movie, just like this

I started forcing myself to stay quiet though and I stopped regretting talking so much because I was anxious. It brought some other problems with it though.

Also I'm from the south and I had a speech impediment when I was young that sounded like I was British too, weird huh. I also happened to just "find some friends".

Yep, I recently made a post on r9k where I explained how I was wrestling for control of my mind with a council of aliens who kept forcing me to preform OCD rituals in order to keep them satisfied, this was along a bunch of other stuff. Anyway, some helpful axons pointed out to me that this was obviously a little more than OCD so I booked an appointment with my GP and upon talking to him he said I show strong signs of early schizophrenia.

I think that terror may be a phase as you have the doors opened a crack and break down the structure you think you're standing on without knowing what's happening to you. Then you reach the ground and you realize that it's ok, that ideas are a construct and every thing is nonsense. Then you can still build a structure and be a person all while knowing what is an illusion. Ask yourself who am I

Psychosis. Funny thing is that you'd think you'd be the first one to recognise it, but for me at least it always turns out that I never realise I'm losing my mind when I actually am. It's really scary.

My genuine advice is to find someone you trust who has known you for a good amount of time and ask them if you've been behaving strangely. Make sure they realise how serious you are being.

>>26453157
Constant panic attacks are fucking panic disorder you pussy.

>>26453303
>>26453387
NO. NO NO NO none of you fuckers understands what paranoia is. Things only count as paranoid delusions when you are suddenly and irrationally CONVINCED that someone is out to get you. Anxiety or obsession does NOT count. Paranoia is also generally really bizarre shit, like people are trying to poison you through air vents.
no I am not well right now

>>26453476
This man talks sense, although that fragmented speech does come on pretty quickly. I've got really good at faking being sane when I'm out of my mind and climbing the walls.

Just imagine you've just taken twice as much acid as you'd be comfortable with and you need to speak to the cops (it always feels like you're talking to the cops). That is what I'm dealing with here.

You're probably too old to turn out schizo by now. Weed isn't good for your mental health. I have periods of heavy stoning, but it's really obvious that it isn't a good influence in terms of stability. If you're depressed, fuck that whatever makes you happy man

weed improves the streamflow gently but can be suprisingly powerful over time. i think if you're schizo you should try getting into eastern philosophy and dealing with yourself, the mental health care is a pretty universally fucked thing

>>26453850

The only consequences are treatment. Unless you directly threaten someone ("when I leave this office I'm going to take my gun and shoot up a school") you'll be fine. You can talk about violence and suicide as long as you don't say you have immediate plans.

and don't stay around negative people, they suck and rub off on you.

>implying they're not

I'm probably borderline. I spend about 80% of my time alone and have done for the past 8-9 years. I only see my mum and when she dies I'll probably lose it.

I've had delusions where I was convinced that cars parked outside with their lights on were waiting for me to go so they could follow. To the point I would change my route.

I've always played out scenarios in my head of things that haven't happened, like being made fun of for example. I think everyone laughs at me in public (although this it probably true since I'm just awkward looking and dress cheap and lazy.

I have most if this except for downright hallucinations. Can it still be schizophrenia then? For example when I was younger I was socially awkward so I created a fake personality of myself as a popular kid. I still have this but it has manifested differently now. I also often get the feeling inanimate objects are staring meanly at me and want to kill me, sometimes I believe that if i don't do my OCD rituals that an external, evil force will make sure something bad happens. This force does not like me writing this post.
