News of Schizophrenia Forum

I was abused a lot growing up and had many experiences that I would definitely describe as “covert” sexual abuse within the family that really set me up for a sexually dysfunctional mindset as a grown woman. I have always thought of myself as Asexual which I know my repulsion towards sex comes from the various abuses I have experienced. So my asexuality comes from a strong fear of physical intimacy. I have always avoided ...

I’m 21 years old. Ever since my parents’, brother’s, and sister’s death at a young age, followed by abuse by my new parents, I haven’t been “all there” mentally and spiritually. Grades have always been straight A’s, but I can’t seem to function well. For example, at work, I’ll be doing something completely wrong... putting dishes in odd places like in the microwave, etc. I sometimes laugh randomly (mostly as a coping mechanism when the ...

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was 16, I'm 22 now. The last few weeks have been a nightmare. I'm convinced my mothers boyfriend is trying to set me up. I have secrets like most people but i have one in particular that would get me killed where i am. I live in a 2 bedroom condo with my mother. One night I left my door open while watching a movie and I heard ...

Alright, I'm new. Hi.

My voices are different I feel. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this. But let me explain things in their entirety in as short of a post as I possibly can.

I sometimes hear voices that are loud and sudden and most of the time don't have any rhyme or reason. Those I'm not as concerned with as the ones I am that, essentially, are demonic. I believe to ...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my story here of being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia for almost a year and eventually receiving a diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Encephalitis (which is a type of autoimmune encephalitis).

I want to spread this information in order to help people receive proper diagnosis as there could be other out there suffering from autoimmune disease without knowing it. I was treated with antipsychotics ...

Hey everyone, I am wondering whether you also experience the following.

I had voices which have pretty much gone since starting a course of Olanzapine. Do others find it difficult to know whether they were right to start a course of medication? Even guilt for doing so?

While I really did not enjoy having voices in my head a lot of the time, it is also the case that the voices were not just negative ...

Hi,

My name is Scott, and I am briefly going to tell you an extremely smallest version of a real life true story that has real implications for Schizophrenics on Planet Earth. Over the past 26.5 years, I have been able to manifestly prove that the amazing assertions by schizophrenics throughout the mental health forums regarding the ghostly and alien origins of the telepathy they are unable to avoid, is in fact accurate. ...

Ever since I was young I was pushed by these impulses, Something would trigger me and I will hear complete aggressive sentences ( These sound internal like a louder version of my thinking voice) and it will give me directions what to say,(I know they're directions on what to say because of the tone and words used - even if they do not directly tell me to say something) if I ignore the voices they ...

So for many years i have been extremely uncomfortable about sex, mainly the thought of sexual predators trying to abduct me. It started when i was 8 years old and there was an old man staring at me and following me around an arcade. The adults present informed me that this guy was a creep and to stay away from him which in some ways planted the seeds of paranoia, though it was not as ...
