Hello.. I have had mental health problems but they seem to be expanding into different symptoms.. I will describe below.

Sometimes it feels like a malevolant being is trying to take over my mind, at that stage my thinking becomes all confused and I find it hard to put words toghether because my mind goes completely twisted.. also I seem to stare at the wall blankly.

Also most of the time when I have these episodes I feel like running away and living in the forest and never speaking to anyone ever again.. also sometimes I have suicidal thoughts. Sometimes it feels like thoughts are being placed in my head by another being (ghost).

Do you think this is skizophrenia or something else?

Also I have anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder.

Would like your opinion, thanks again.

Also now sometimes when I am talking to people my mind gets all confused and I start to stutter (its really embarassing). It feels like I am trying to think of what to say but then theres a block and so I have to try and rethink what I was going to say.. or sometimes it feels like words are trying to take over the words that I wanted to say.

Also sometimes it feels like this other personality (bad one) is trying to take over my mind and is doing things that I know are wrong and dont want to do but its too hard to control because my mind is so stuffed up.

If you read around on the forums here, you might recognize symptoms here & there which are associated with specific disorders.

It's really not encouraged, tho, to go around self-diagnosing your perceived problems. If you want to get a better handle, maybe try the quizzes. Look at the top left of this page, where it says, "PsychCentral." Directly under that is a menu line, and the third item from the left is "QUIZZES." Click there.

Even with that in hand, please consider seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist who diagnoses mental health issues. You really don't want amateurs messing with your head, do you?

Roadrunner is right! For example, in this forum we tend to have more people on the schizophrenic spectrum. I know I'm more likely to see schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder than other conditions, simply because it's where I'm at.

Your symptoms could also be due to serious depression (there's such a thing as psychotic depression). Or it could be something else which I don't know about.

As Roadrunner says, get a doctor's opinion. If like me you find it very hard to talk about what's wrong with you face to face (I was practically non verbal when I first saw a pdoc) you should consider writing down your concerns and handing them to your doctor. That will break the ice, and he or she will have more of an idea where you are at.

Good luck, I hope you get the help you need.

Cool, thank you very much guys for your good and sensible advice.

I might see someone, will have to see what works out. I thought maybe I might have more Dissociation because I dont hear voices or see things but will have to see.

God bless.
