seriously?

maybe i’m just having a phase…
what worried me though is that most cases peak at 20-28 years old and i am currently 16…

I’ve started to think that it is just a phase also. I think it will just pass on it’s own eventually

what, in the past 3 minutes youve decided to ‘let is pass’…
OK, i wish i had your confidence

I think you maybe are just psychic. Or overly sensitive.
Schizophrenia is a much more severe disease. It interferes with normal life
in a big way. Particularly it doesn’t allow you to sleep properly
because you hear voices, etc..

No, I mean in general. I have been thinking about it for a while. I thought I might have s.p.d. before now and that is just the way I have been viewing it. I never looked up about it I only knew what others told me that’s why I was so surprised by the symptoms you listed

yea but it would explain so much…

i’m obviously no expert and i hate to self diagnose this on me cus i proably have no idea what i’m talking about, its just that on Wikipedia it goes on about loads of different symptoms, it doesnt have to be extream things like the constant voice in your head ect…

and its the fact its more than one symptom, not just paranoia…

No it doesn’t. But you are living a relatively normal functional life
are you not?

nowadays almost everybody has a degree of paranoia.
Stock market crashing. Mortgage payments. No money. Paranoid.

The one about someone calling your name is a bit puzzling.
But perhaps you have a name that is easily embedded in other sounds.

No it doesn’t. But you are living a relatively normal functional lifeare you not?

yes, but the point is that it has to start smoewhere and i feel like i’m slipping…

and its not that kind of paranoia, you wouldnt understand it without living my life for a while, nobody understands it…

i forgot to mention the jazz music, i hear it often even though i never listen to jazz…

the music reminds me of a lady who said she could hear a radio station in her head.
She phoned the police often about this problem. They came over and couldn’t figure it out. Finally an officer got real close to her head and listened
and sure enough he could hear the radio station too.
It turned out that the lady had a funny metal filling which was picking up the radio signal. When the filling was removed and replaced radio station ended.
Do you have any filings?

no, i brush my teeth…

well then maybe you do have a very mild form of schizophrenia.
Doesn’t sound too serious. And many people who have it function well enough.
But if it is of concern you can have it diagnosed.
I hate to see people go on drugs though.
Trying to avoid them if you can.

alright…

its just that it started about 4 years ago and has (from my perspective) steadily got ‘worse’…

and no, whatever it is, doesnt cause problems with my life but what if it keeps getting worse, i mean theres no way to tell how far it will continue, if i have it, and i’m just a bit scared that it could escilate to…

and that fact that the guy on this blogg i mentioned said he’d been diagnosed with moderate-servere Schizophrenia before he even got the paranoia…

thanks for you advice thoguh, i feel a bit better knowing my situation may not be as bad as i first though ;)

I don’t think you’re scitzophrenic. I have a loved one who is and you would be much worse off if you had. I do think you have anxiety and or paranoia. I had a similar problem that started when I was about 16. It slowly got worse though. It started as just a fear that I was going to be killed while taking a shower and got to the point where I was so terrified that I had to shower with the curtain open. It really is something that can take over your life. If you are against taking drugs, then I suggest going to a counsler of some sort.

Shizophrenic is really not that ’soft’ but I think you should anyhow try to seek for help. Then better you destroy this, if it is shizophreni or something like that at the beginning, before it gets worse like by MsNay.
And most of the times, if multiple personoality, paranoia or shizophrenic, it often starts when you are small, that it just starts with 20 isn’t true.

But even if know its not a ‘eral proble’ I think it’d be the best if you let a professional look at this. Really, I know some people who said in the beginning ‘Oh its nothing’ and as years went by, (3-6) they really had big problems, and when you wait to long, you can’t be helped anymore.

You shouldnt take it too lightly, even if I do not want to make you afraid, just dont think thats its ‘no big deal’.
And if then the result is that you’r ‘just’ a physic, well then you may be able to get control over that and become some professional? Would be cool, right?
So, better let someone look at this.

thanks for that, i might see the school nurse but i’m gonna have to think about it incase it is just a phase caused by stress or what ever…

my main concern was waking up one day to find that this paranoia or what ever it is has got to the point where i dont realise it… I’m guessing it doesnt actually happen that fast but its the main thing that bugging me,

thanks anyway ;)

Well, I dont think that the schoolnurse can help you, but its good anyhow if you ask for it, and no, you wont just wake up and think ‘omg, I’ve got paranoia!’ Dont worry there.
