The noises and sightings, what is this??
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have depression and anxiety, and my therapist has told me he believes that it’s a possibility that I could have schizophrenia. At first I had a delusion that all of our memories are fake, or implanted or something, but that has passed. Then I started having positive and negative affects. Positive wise, I gained hearing noises and seeing things that aren’t there. Negative, I’ve loss of communication and can’t respond correctly in the correct situations. Loss of wanting to even do anything. I’ve ended up cutting myself a lot too and I’ve been inpatient once, psychiatric ward adolescent. Although it was a short term hospital, sundance. I’ve heard noises like someone I know talking about me, but knowing they’re nowhere around. I’ve heard stomping noises, right next to me. I’ve even felt that I’m being pulled and poked at sometimes. I even had a dream that I had schizophrenia and I was hearing voices in that dream and everything. Is this really schizophrenia?? What’s going on??

I am 17 and have had similar experiences to your own. It started with major depression , sleep paralysis with visual hallucinations every time I woke up.. Also, the voices just would not shut up. I wen to a psychiatrist and he put me on 200 mg of Seroquel and I worked up to 700 mg. At this dose, the hallucinations went away. Only a few times a month.. in the morning I might get 1 voice break through the medicine. I can handle that perfectly by listening to music and tv... keeping myself grounded. I really don't think that you are suffering from schizophrenia. It could have been triggered by your depression/anxiety or if you had bipolar disorder.... I take 50 mg of Zoloft and 200 mg of Seroquel in the morning. Another 200 in the afternoon and 300 mg of seroquel when I am ready to fall asleep at night. I really call it my miracle medicine. I had to drop out of high school and get my diploma through homeschooling. I was getting too many flashbacks in school. But I will try 1 college class in the Fall and see if I can handle it. I have never cut myself... but I have heard that the hallucinations die down when a person does that. Not sure if it's true or not. I am really praying for you... I know what you are going through... it can be so frightening until you really get the proper meds (your weapon) to fight off this enemy ... we need to be soldiers and never go into battle against a very powerful enemy with out our shield, helmet, breastplate... just think of your meds as weapons that will eventually totally destroy the one thing trying to destroy you. Hugs xx

If your 18-30ish could be schizophrenia or bi-polar....you need a shrink for that diagnosis. I'm not a doctor.
