Am I insane?

Ok well… I’m an 18 years old guy and I’m kind of depressive… I cut myself sometime… anyway its not the point… I had a though month… I lost my girlfriend… then I started to take alot of drug… only weed to start… Then I started to take chemicals… For some reason, when I was really high, I pretended to be someone else… I called myself another name and I pretended to be a psycopath… it was scaring me… then I started to hear voices in my head… so I stopped everything. now I have past 2 week sober, nice thing! but I’m still hearing voices sometimes… from now on I’ve always been a pacific person, I never hit anyone and really don’t like violence… But since I created that psycopath character while taking drugs I have visions of murders and blood baths… and everywhere I mean, like yesterday I went to see an improvisation show because my friend was in it… at the end of the show I felt angry for no reason and then I saw a girl near me… I saw her throat… and I just wanted to cut it, I had images of me killing her right on the spot… Why the hell am I hearing voices and seing things like that? Is it skizophrenia or what? I need help…

The drugs possibly stimulated something that was deep in your subconscious. I suggest seeing a therapist.

Turn of the computer, schedule an appointment with a pyschiatrist, you dont needa tell your parents or anyone the real reason why..just tell them you are having troubles and that you need to do this, they will understand. For your own sake I really feel its important you do this. You don’t want these feelings to continue, its not healthy thats for sure.

I’m sure it will stop, but Mathieu, you need to first co-operate with all she says and also…have the strenght of will yo tell yourself these thoughts are ridiculous, and that they are NOT want you want to be thinking or doing. When you can deny the validity of these visions as absurdity, then you are on the road to recovery. And always keep your pysch informed.

I agree. A good open talk with a therapist can help you sort out all you questions and issues. You said you never had these kinds of thoughts before taking the drugs? Did you by chance take any acid? You can have flash backs if you did. Sometimes confusing and bizzare thoughts can just be a bad side effect to using. After stopping your mind is trying to get back to normal.I suggest you tell her exactly what your feeling and she needs to take it seriously. Hopefully these will pass. I hope you don’t go back to using again. Nothing good ever comes out of it,as you are now seeing first hand. If you don’t get the results from this therapist, please seek a second opinion. All the best to you :)

No I never took any acid, only speed, extasy and weed… but maybe in too big quantity… And no like I said I’ve never been a violent person so these images or thoughs or whatever it is… its not comming from me… or at least not from my concious…

lack of sleep, stress. you have something deep inside you subconscious. it needs to be helped, and fast oyu dont know how much time is left. it will be rough. im sorry i can not solve your problems, you may need to get another therapist. if she did not urge you to stop doing drugs then i think she has grown too close to you, you can still keep her as a friend but you might need to talk to someone else. taht once you are done you dont ahve to keep in contact with

You might just have a second personality or have skitophrania.

you should go see a doctor and he can proscribe you medication to help stop the voices and maintain your acutal personality while keeping your other one at bay.

Also its perfectly normal for people to have morbid thoughts, its if you decided to act apon them that is crossing the line.
