i think i might be schizophrenic.

Everybody already knows that I have depression. But I think i might be schizophrenic because i truly think i can read people’s mind. For example, last week I was hanging out with my friends from high school and i ran into old high school people and swear I thought I could read their minds. As if they were judging me…like i thought they were saying something like….my you look awful since high school ended. but they didn’t say any of that

Did you hear it outloud? Because when you have schizophrenia you see and hear things that aren’t really there, if you just thought you they might be thinking it, you probably just have self esteem issues.

it doesn’t sound like schizophrenia. not aloud. I keep thinking that people are saying things to me when they are not. It’s really bad. But I am afraid to tell anyone

if you can still ponder over the question of your own sanity then you are not crazy yet, life is not as serious as the mind makes out, ever notice people think different things depending on what mood You are in?

Depends what the indervidual feels is important, to my daughter the most important thing in the world right now is her upcoming pimple, to me it may be my concern for the people of Colorado braving the current storms and wild fires, we all live in our own madeup world whith our own indervidual perceptions assumptions and concerns, in my reality’ nobody has anything to be insecure about.

Take heart, good sir. You’re not schizophrenic. Not even close. You’re just anxious, that’s all. Overly anxious. Too anxious.

You’re very very very anxious.

But not schizophrenic. A schizophrenic wouldn’t have posted this on help.com, because a schizophrenic wouldn’t have realized that it is crazy to think you can read people’s minds. A schizophrenic would have just “read their minds” without the slightest qualm.

You’re OK. You’re normal. Like the rest of us.
