Schizophrenia Support Group

I can't tell you whether or not you have schizophrenia. You need to see a psychiatrist for a diagnosis. Honestly to me, simply being paranoid is not enough to warrant a dx of schizophrenia. You should research it and find out if you have some of the other symptoms. Then, go see your family doctor and talk to him/her about it. If they feel you could possibly have it, or any other mental disorder, they will refer you to a psychiatrist.

I really hope you don't have it, but if you come to find out that you do, be sure to come back here for support.

Best of luck.

Grandiose was right. None of us can tell you whether or not you have schozo. Do some reasearch on it. Go to webme.com and look up schizophrenia or schizoaffective. See if they reflect you in any way. Print if off and the symptoms that you are going through highlight and bring to your pdoc. That will help them diagnose what you really have. Just being paranoid does not suggest that you are schizo. Could just be your personality. Best of wishes to you.

I am so sorry that this is something you have to deal with. i completely understand how that feels. i come from a big family middle child, and im now 26, and its like i shut everyone in my life out at some point because i feel like i'm doing things for other people.

even my childhood interests, its like i was into them for other people and not me.

Im trying now to sort of spend time alone and not get weird peoples thoughts in my head. if you need to talk im totally here for you. i remember reading something saying that the longer it takes you to figure yourself, the better its going to be.

I've met a few other people who understand how it is to feel this way. they are in a way my soulmates and they understand my reality.
