The reason your losing touch with reality is because of eternal-fantasy influences that drift you into a so called "mode" and this is when you imagine and begin talking to your voices. The cause of this? It isn't entirely sure but they say it is genetic and has something to do with the brain's reward centre (dopamine) having abnormalities. Dopamine can cause hallucinations and pleasure.
It was good you have took the tests now print them and show them to your parents and your counsellor next week.

I believe I could have Paranoid Schizophrenia. When you said about Auditory hallucinations, do you mean they are an external voice like people around or are they voices inside the head, but you don't believe it is "you"? Because I get internal voices a lot, and a voice that seems to read my thoughts/what i read aloud...i'm not sure if this is normal or not...
I do have bad "friends". "No" for example. I am sure I can sense his presence because I feel uneasy/scared/worried when he is around. I feel like they follow me everywhere, but i forget about them so they are not a constant problem.
What made me think i was schizotypal was some sufferers have unwanted thoughts/images. I have had these since the age of 7 and was always looking for an answer. So I thought i had OCD (as i also have compulsions, perfectionism, false memories etc).
What frightens me is, I always have this feeling of paranoia, and my world feels so real to me. Like i know all of the small facts about it, and I can visit whenever I want. I'm really worried and scared about all this.
but thank you so much for the support and help.
