Hello there
Well im quite worried about being psychotic so i decided to make a topic here.Lately im having this detachmemt from reality to a very high level. It may be DPD(depersonalization/Derealization) but i may also be psychotic.
Id like to ask about hallucinations and Delusions.
What exactly is delusion and hallucination?
Before i go to sleep i imagine many things "like for example i am deffirent from others and stronger" it helps me calm my mind and put me to sleep but Is this Delusion?(Btw i used to do that since i was a kid but something like daydreaming)
Hallucinations? Sometimes i talk myself or when i imaginate i make even a dialog.
I dont know about these stuff and id like to ask u since you guys know many things.
I have been feeling like i lose touch with reality i do things robotly and i dont have enought money to visit a therapist
After reading so many things on the internet i really have forgot what is like being logical.
Are those emotions/feelings normal or Psychotic?
what made me write here is that i did a test with the baby about veing psychotic the first 4 times i saw it i couldnt realize it but know i can see it

A delusion is a false or erroneous belief that usually involves a misinterpretation of perceptions or experiences.

An hallucination is a false or erroneous sensory experience (auditory, visual, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile).

I recommend seeing a psychiatrist if you believe you're having delusions and/or hallucinations.

Once psychosis come it comes hard , usually. So you will know it, (impossible to hold a job and coexist in social settings are examples) and the people around you will know it (they may ask you to go to a doctor, or even possibly escort you to hospital).

Schizophrenia is just one outcome (1% of the population), some people (Most!) will not get that far , maybe they have protective biological qualities or better coping mechanisms. BUT..could go on to develop general anxiety disorder , or OCD or bipolar without psychotic features.

OR they could just grow out of it , just a phase..

Here's a useful site from Canada just googled it. http://www.cmha.ca/media/fast-facts-.../#.VtLSYLPLfqA

If your not from Canada , the figures generally wont alternate that much from whatever western country you live in..

To me it sounds like the early stages of Schizophrenia. I remember it being like this when I was younger, I had similar symptoms then it got worse with conclusive thoughts. Constant trauma brought it to full blown.
