isn't schizophrenia related to believing electronics are watching u?
a while ago, i was showering and i thought my leg was absorbing water. i got very scared. i also thought i could pull my forehead down over my face. the stuff disappeared and my therapist called it a "psychotic break." the past few weeks I've been feeling terrible. yesterday i saw the ground moving in front of my boyfriend's car. it was only one section; nowhere else was moving. i also saw pictures of my family on FB & texted my siblings they are brainwashed and my mom did it. i was severely abused growing up. i feel scared. my therapist recommended i go to the hospital, but why? I'm not a threat or feeling suicidal. just very depressed and scared. maybe i have dementia, but I'm only 34. i don't want a schizophrenic diagnosis. am i worrying too much or does this sound schizophrenic? thanks

No one here can diagnose you but it does sound like some kind of psychosis type thing.
Don't worry about what they label you as, it's not the end of the world to get diagnosed with a psychotic type disorder, it's between you and your doctors, no one else has to know. Perhaps your therapist is worried you will have another break and that's why they want you to go to the hospital? to sort things out before things get too bad?

Hi, have you done any drugs lately? Marijuana or anything? You should probably do as your doctor advises. Good luck.

i too have felt movement on my feet and experienced the ground moving, it was like the road was slowly pulling away from me. but that only happened when the voices were loud and i was up for over two days.

There are many levels of severity among psychosis sufferers. I've had experiences similar to yours, and it has only gotten much worse than that twice in my life. I am functioning pretty well. So psychosis isn't a death sentence.
