You Must Feel Gulty For Some Reason, Something you must Have Done Or saw In The Past Or even Now, its Not Schizophrenia, I Think Its Phsichotic Depression, The Best Thing For You To Do Now Is To Go Get Help, Regardless Of What You May Have. Your Mothers Not Going To Feel Heart Broken Or Failure Of Raising You. Trust Me: Its For The Best.

If you're the only person who can hear those voices and no one else can, then it must be schizophrenia. In this case, you should seek help like going to see a psychiatrist and a family doctor for your health. There's nothing wrong being mentally ill. You only have to disclose those information and not to reveal it based on your will. You can still do normal activities and be active in society.

Buggy, didn't you know that smoking choof or marijuana can cause Schizophrenia. What's more, if you have a family history of Schizophrenia it raises your odds of becoming Schizophrenic enormously.

Well, the damage is done, now. Get yourself to a Doctor pronto. Stop using. If you have Schizophrenia it's an illness. No one is to blame. Certainly not your mother. Using, combined with hereditary factors plays a big part. You're mum will be concerned, as most mothers would be, nevertheless, seek the help you need, now. Before it's too late.

If you think you have Schizophrenia, you may not be too far in. If you know that you may have Schizophrenia, that's very unlike unmedicated Schizphrenics.

They don't know they are. They believe everything that is happening to them is real. Perhaps it's not too late to stop the onset. You may just be having a temporary psychosis. Nevertheless, just as important to seek treatment.

That person who thinks you have psychotic depression probably doesn't know what she's talking about.

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. You're lucky you know it's happening. Get yourself to a doctor and tell him/her everything. If it's necessary, you'll be put on medication. Being labeled mentally ill will not ruin your life. Not getting medication for it could. The medication has helped me a lot. I haven't had serious symptoms in a long time. I've found occupational success and life is fine. I'm relatively normal. If you get on medication, you will probably be all right. The only thing to fear is not getting meds (if they are indeed needed). Good luck. I think you'll be fine.

hi my boyfriend smokes as well and started hearing voices and also got bad depression.you definately need 2 see someone 2 help you.he has stopped smoking but his symptoms were not as bad as yours because it isnt hereditary in his family.it is more important for you to get better and i know your mum would be worried if she knew, she would want you to get better that would be the most important thing for her,she wont feel she failed because she hasnt.with the right help,support and medication you can control the symptoms just be strong and you will slowly but surely get over this.

stop smoking weed/ cut down

stop watching t.v/cut down

do stuff to stay occupied

ignore ur thoughts

revision:

stay occupied releases energy
breathing connects u to urself

o yea and in order to open urself up to certain experiences u need to meditate on them meaning taht u need to spend time just sitting there be4 ur going to do something and contemplating the action

all the weed did was slow down the development of your brain. dont stress over that. it didnt cause the schizophrenia, it just helped a bit.

chilling out a bit will help. dont be so anxious. when you are in the bus, and feel like people are looking at you, just relax, and let things be. dont try to control them. once youre relaxed and letting things be, let yourself be in the moment. youll notice youll start to get better this way. dont try to control your emotions so much. just let them flow through you, and you will note that they become a lot easier to handle. youll start to feel some kind of wormth within you.
dont stress out over this meditation, but you should do it constantly. this does the exact opposite of what is happening to your brain right now. right ow you are killing it with your paranoia and all, but meditating the way i told you above will help a ton.

another important thing is not to space out too much. dont stress over this, but you should space out less and less every day as you do this meditation.

i havent experienced schizophrenia, but i have horrible anxiety problems that bring depression and mood swings and a bunch of other shit.

just chill and let it be, and you will get better. or at least youll prevent the disorder from being as bad as it could be.

i would say you dont keep yourself occupied too much on stressful things. dont watch tv and dont play video games. do things like walking arround and observing nature, etc.. that will reconnect you to reality. dont worry if things are real or not. the answer will come to you soon. but for now, i can tell you one thing. absolutely everything is real. when you hallucinate, its real. its just the hallucination is you watching your subconscious mind. soon you will learn to see your subconscious mind subconscioualy.

dont "ignore" your thoughts. just let them be and go through your mind untouched. dont dwell on them.

you can trust me on this, because i know very well what im talking about here.

another thing that came to mind. stay off meds unless you get something really bad. then, dont abuse them.
meds dont cure schizophrenia, and they dont increase synchronized activity in your brain (which is what you need).

you obviously have a lot of negative pent up emotions so try expressing them maybe that'll help

I don't know if you're still reading this...hopefully you've told your mom and sought help with a psychiatrist by now. I am a scientist researching schizophrenia and came across your blog b/c I was interested in what people experience during the early stages of schizophrenia.

Neither you, nor your mom have done anything wrong. Schizophrenia is a disease in the brain. Like a genetic heart condition, there is nothing you can do to avoid it. But, there are ways to deal with it so you can have a relatively normal life and be successful like Andy (the person who wrote above). Like someone said above, it is good that you realize the problem - it could be b/c you're still so young and aware of your genetic risk. And One With Nature was right, you did not "give yourself" schizophrenia by smoking. It probably slowed down the process or helped you feel better. Like I said, its a disease deep in the cells of your brain and not something you did wrong. It is very good that you are seeking help and know there is a problem!

Like someone said, you should try to remain calm. Ignore other kids. They probably aren't looking at you, and even if they were, the kids who make fun of other kids are the ones who are insecure themselves. They think people won't notice their flaws if they constantly point out the flaws of others. After high school they'll come to see the only thing they are good at is putting down other people and that skill is useless after high school.

The most important thing you can do is see a psychiatrist and do not give up if the first medicine he gives you does not work!! There are a few different types of medication for schizophrenia and we are constantly trying to develop newer ones that work better. Some meds work well on some people with schizophrenia and other meds work better on other people. See a psychiatrist and remember, its not your fault but its not too late to help yourself! You can do it!:)

There's no evidence to say smoking or eating dope causes schizophrenia only that it will make symptoms worse in those who already have tendancies towards it, but hearing voices is a major symptom of this illness you need to seek help as soon as possible.

Your mom will not be dissapointed or mad at you. You must understand, and so must she that mental disease is just like all other kinds of disease, you can't control getting it. Just like a fever or a cold. You're not to blame or to be ashamed.

Hi... Im replying on the scientists message... I would just like to say, that someone in that blog said that people with schitzoprhenia do not realize their symptoms? I am just concerned, because, i have a friend that is schitzophrenic and he used to realize theres something not right about the way he was feeling and acting. I suffered major depression for several years, and I also suffer from anxiety disorder. i was molested for several years by my stepfather , which has had heart surgery and it sounded like a clock watch. a tick tick sound. he passed away about 10 years ago.. Im not going to explain everything in detail now, but about 5 years ago a suffered severe panic attacks and paranoia. I always think people are following me around while im driving long distances, because they want to kill me. I hear my dad's heartbeat and I also see ghostly figures. I dont see them all that often anymore but i still hear things as well. Have have weird thoughts, more like racing thoughts, and i dont trust anybody. I have been having this for 5 years, sometimes it goes away for 3 months or so, and then it comes back. I have been to a pshyciatrist before and he still didnt give me any answers, besides the fact that he gives me medication for depression and some drug for pshycosis. I stopped taking it, because I dont really know what Im drinking it for, because there are no answers. I have never been diagnosed.. regarding the hallusinations, dellusions and parranoia. I just wish someone can give me advise and tell my what this could be. Could this be part of depression or am I schitophrenic? I also experience racing thoughts and I also have disturbing voices or is it thoughts of wanting people to die. It is in my head as well, but I dont know if it is my toughts or what it is. Then i think but it is not something I would say to myself anyway.. Anybody with answers on this.. please also be so kind to reply on this letter.. Im in the same situation.

I am a paranoid schizophrenic. I was diagnosed at 14. I know what u r feeling it is difficult to live with. I hear voices trying to control me. people think im crazy. I got help from my councelor and got medicated....you should too it really helps!!!
