Wonderful idea gettinbetter201!!

Parinoa- I've delt with this my whole life...ever since I was about four..hard to belive I know but I have. I'm really tired of thinking everyone is out to get me and it making me miss out on certain things and keeping me from a distance from people. Over the past few years my social skills and my ability to communicate has really decreased and it gets worse and worse each year.

Schizophrenia symptoms- I'm not sure I have schizophrenia but I have almost all the symptoms...and they are starting to increasingly get in the way of my life. I've had them for about three years now..and I didn't realize it until I took my on-line psychology class. I'm trying really hard to accept the fact I may have schizophrenia or psychosis..it's hard. I've had the voices for so long I just thought it was normal. This is probably the biggest issue for me right now seeing as it is increasingly affecting my day to day life and my ability to perform in school.

Thearpy- This kind of goes back to the two items above. I've always been someone who is very closed off. I'm someone who hates to ask for help. Starting thearpy is scary for me..it means I have to admit I'm dealing with these issues and that there is something wrong. That scares me to death...but I know in order to live the life I want to and to be able to have a sense of reality I have to go and see a therapist..I have to get help for these issues..

Once again great question getttingbetter201!!
