Fractured reality, you and me seem to have a lot in common also. Im 19 years old, male. Ive experienced many of the things that you are talking about too, its weird I thought I was the only one. Im kind of against taking medication too. For me its not so much trying to stop every single weird symptom that I have, but instead just stopping the scary symptoms and the fear. I found that I can lessen that if I lower my stress level. Im not sure if what I have is schizophrenia though either. I thought it might be caused my some physical disease, but I have been to the doctors, got lots of tests done, and Im healthy. Im going again just to make sure though.

My obvious symptoms are: I cant concentrate, mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, racing thoughts, isolation, bad memory, lack of motivation, slow movement, insomnia (along with bad sleep patterns), unreality, paranoia, weird feelings. I could go on for a while but that sums up most of it. I went about a year with most of these symptoms without ever realizing that there might be something wrong with me. I was scared at first when I found that out, but after a while Im happy that the way I think is not the normal way, and I could get better one day. The thing is that you get so used to the symptoms, that they are normal for you and you dont see anything wrong. But feel free to share anything on here.
