I've been told by doctors that I have Paranoid Schizophrenia, but I am not sure whether or not I'm just psychic.

In my first hallucinations, I heard a voice say that we are all connected by the pineal gland in the brain (at least i think that was what it was showing me) - and saw a picture of a brain. There was talk of a pcychic network.

I get impressions of other people's minds i.e. in the past i have believed to have channelled people i know and even Einstein. . I will all of sudden feel like them, as if i was them. It was really distressing when it first started, but now I manage it by just letting it be there and then it disappears.

In the past, i have witnessed the birth of baby Jesus - I could see the energy. I saw the people that surrounded him and how in awe and loving they were, and i saw Jesus the second he emerged into the world and it was beautiful, truly.
These are strange but positive things, but my illness has brought me so much negative too.

And i felt as dense as stone and numb - which was really scary and I tried to make a clay pot whilst feeling this way but was feeling overwhelmed by it.

Has anyone else got similar experiences?
