Over the past half a year or so i have been experiencing many schizophrenic symptoms. I am emotionless around my family and friends. I dont care about anyone and am indifferent about most issues. I hate being around people and feel like i'm better than everyone. actually i know im better than everyone to be more precise. I feel like many people don't like me. sometimes i feel like my friends and other people are like looking through my eyes and listening to my thoughts. and if i don't do everything perfectly, they'll criticize me. and there are always voices or thoughts in my head commenting on everything that i or others do, the things i see and stuff. and the thoughts warn me about dangers sometimes. they also tell me strange stuff about how i fail at life, and i suck, and i need to do certain things. I also have several imaginary friends that pop up randomly and talk to me. some get angry with me, some warn me, laugh at and or with me, some are funny, and some are smart.
I also get really excited for no reason, and i often get really antisocial and hate everything randomly too. i find myself attached to things and don't like change. i get paranoid about noises in my house, and if im in class or something and pople look at me, i feel like they are in my head saying bad things about me. i also find myself caught up in sort of daydreams or something. i am talking to the personalities in my head and my imaginary friends, and i forget about the world around me.i stare in the distance and look oblivious to everyone. my family and friends think i am just a lazy dissorganized antisocial teenager. but i tell my problems to a select few people and they understand for the most part.
please comment and or email me your comments on my issues. i would really appreciate an answer. these voices and what not are getting irritating and im not sleeping well. thanks

I would suggest you print out a copy of your post and bring it with you to see a pdoc (psychologist or psychiatrist) and get some real help. I don't know what your diagnosis is but a pdoc would and maybe you could start feeling better with some treatment.

Voices can be controlled with medication that is prescribed by a psychiatrist, I know people who have had their voices subside by medication and it is a wonderful thing...keep writing here...we care about you

No one can tell you if you have schizophrenia unless it is a trained professional who knows your case. Not all of these things sound like schizophrenia, well not mine that is, but I can not rule it our nor can I confirm it since I am not a pdoc.

I hope soon you get your answers and I suggest you bring with up with your pdoc so he can try and help you to find out what is going on!

Wishing you all the best... (((((((((((nick)))))))))))

Hello. Are you positive they are schizophrenic symptoms? Sound like symptoms of another problem to me. The day dreams, personalities, sleeping problems etc.

I am very guilty of trying to internet diagnose myself... it's a bad trap to fall into! But also remember the docs may not be sure themselves of your specific dx. If it's deemed necessary, you might want to try meds, the dx doesn't matter much if you are on the right meds (though I often don't listen to my own advice, lol)

I see many symptoms that can be schizophrenia like the daydreaming. there is a book that we are reading for a psych course called I never promised you a rose Garden. its supposed to be a true story about a girl who had schizophrenia and had a daydream psychotic world called Yrie, she would hear voices inside her head and out of these Yrie characters (alternate personalities)telling her to harm herself in the most hidious ways. I now work as an intern for the hospitals mental health unit and I have met many schizophrenics that are indifferent, antisocial, distant, flat affect (lacking emotions) and many of them enter catatonic states where they stare off into the distance and forget the reality of the physical world around them, Almost everyone of them have some sort of paranoid ideas/thoughts. And they all have imaginary friends that stay at their sides to protect them from the evil alters.

granted this isnt a diagnosis just observations of commonalities of what you posted with those schizophrenics I deal with as an intern on a mental ward. so its best that you contact a psychiatrist or mental health agency for accurate diagnosis and medication. If what you have turns out to be schizophrenia there are many medications that can help relieve alot of these symptoms that you posted about.
