possible have schizophrenia please read symptoms?

hello i have been diagnosed this year with clinical depression and gen./social anxiety disorder I have self diagnosed myself with 'psychotic' features but i do not know if that is correct. i have keep a short list of thing to discuss with my therapist day after tomorrow....can anyone read these things and tell if they are schizo or what??

- heard chattering while in the kitchen coming from living room between a man and woman from the 1700's or 1800's it was an upbeat convo but i couldn't make out any words except the lady laughing. i have no idea how i know at that point they were from another era, my "mind" just told me that. sigh. this happen twice and scared me I thought ghosts was in the house.

- think I seen the man and woman one time, very faint like ghosts in the living room standing there talking as if i wasnt there. this happen once and they were wearing old style clothing....happened only once

- one night while sleeping a month ago a radio station started playing in my ear. it was a song by Lady gaga that I like for about 15 sec, crystal clear in my ear, then it switch like I could hear the tuner turn to another station and it played a diff. song for maybe 10 sec. then it all stopped.

- heard a baby crying twice at nite in the house, there's no babies in the house nor close neighbors

- thinking at nite someone will try and get into my window or is hanging on outside my window, then panicking - i live on the second floor.

- got convinced for a week God wanted me to commit suicide. I got over it when friends online convinced me God would not want this to happen.

- sometimes while watch TV or sleeping, i hear feet walking in the hall but no one is out there.

- think i hear someone in house calling my name but when i ask they say no this happen a few times.

- do not like look in mirrors for a long time, b/c i am afraid my reflection will do something like move a diff. direction or smile at me etc.

- i am very jumpy and scare easily.

should I show this list to my therapist? I am very embarrassed to do that... what do you think these things add up to? thank you.

Usually the ability to recognize that what your expereincing are possible hallucination/delusions usually doesn't indicate a schizo spectrum diagnosis. Whether it could be psychosis though thats something for your psychiatrist to decide on. Nobody hear can tell you whether you have schizophrenia.

Ok thank you for the reply

I hope I wasn't being mean was I? Please say if I was. I didn't mean to.

i know people on here can't diagnose me. just was wondering if anyone with this disorder have any similar experiences....no you weren't being mean. i shouldn't have asked such a dumb question anyways. tc.

Well no its a fair question. I'm afraid I just can't give you an answer though. What I can tell you is that there are two distinctions that makes it easier to tell whether someone has schizophrenia. Which are thought disorder and negative symptoms. I think its clear though that you don't have thought disorder just based on your writing which is a good thing. But ofcourse if you have psychosis make sure that it gets brought up with your pdoc.

Hallucinations can be caused by many different things. The best thing I think you could do is go to your doctor and tell them what you told us and they will determine wether it's mental or biological, or even anything to be worried about at all.

I was just wondering.

1. Do you live alone? Also, do you watch a lot of TV?
2. If yes, do you watch a lot of Horror/Ghost stories?

To me, it appears as if you are acting out the hair-raising 'horror' sequences from such TV shows. They just put together a whole lot of things to 'horrify' you and make your blood curdle - like your mirror image doing something other than what you are doing ! Some shows claim to be based on so-called real-life experiences. Anyone with a highly imaginative bent of mind could react the way you are acting, at the moment. If you are seeking medical opinion also, mention your pastimes and habits of watching such shows on TV, if you happen to do so. Best.
