Schizophrenia

[Chris The Man]

What are Schizophrenia symptoms?? I'm having thoughts that make me believe I'm a schizophreniac. So please if you know some don't hesitate to list them.

You think people around you are talking about you.

Google says:

The presence of two or more of the following symptoms for at least 30 days:

• Hallucinations.
• Delusions.
• Disorganized speech.
• Disorganized or catatonic behavior.
• Negative symptoms (emotional flatness, apathy, lack of speech)

You deny being [-]eks[/-] yourself.

Apparently neither personality can google...

It's like you're permanently wearing bluetooth headset.

So what are your symptoms?

I don't even know the meaning of eks.

I wouldn't call them symptoms.

- Loss of appetite
- Anxiety
- Depersonalization
- Social withdrawal

Go see a doctor...sounds like depression.

Explain more about the depersonalization, how it makes you feel, how it occurs..

ROFL....really??

Well, It makes me feel unreal and not to be able to feel emotions, I don't feel love for example. It occurs in different manners, sometimes in a shocking way, sometimes in a disturbing way. Let's say I'm in class sitting at my desk, I'll start questioning myself. Who am I ?? Am I for real?? Then I start picturing my face and think what the ***** is that??? Am I real?? Is that enough???

I'm just guessing here, because that is all that anyone (including a trained professional) can do in a forum, but do you suffer from panic attacks?

Not just a little anxious now and then, but full blown events where you are convinced that you are about to die or go insane.

what he said.

It could be a brain tumour. actually it's better to waste time here rather. Did you see the braai thread today?

That's depression, right there.

The best way I can describe it - It's as if your brain (if we presume the brain to be the machine that creates the mind) is kind of floating off to the side of my body. It's very unsettling, ugh.

How the flipping ***** am I supposed to deal with depression??

It's way ****ing easier than having to deal with something like schizophrenia...

Here's a thread on my situation, for what it's worth:
