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.
