Hi everyone. I'm curious as to what some behaviors and false beliefs that I had when I was younger classified as. They were disturbing to me because they permanently affected my relationship with a family member.

When I was around 12 I started believing that this family member was constantly watching women. I was obsessed with catching them watch women as they walk away or if they were too friendly as well as what they ...

My friend told me out of nowhere that he suspects that I have paranoid schizophrenia. It came as a surprise.

I’m nervous almost all the time. I suffer from an irrational, illogical delusion that I am going to vomit any time I do anything that has made someone get sick before, even though I know it will not and has not happened to me every other time I’ve done it. It has no basis in ...

They often include forums, tips and tricks, and "thinspiration" photos of girls (some of them are complete skeletons, others I don't understand why the fudge they ...

Hello. I am new here. I have a question. I have just recently heard of this disorder. I am taking a Mental Health and Illness class in college and we discussed this disorder yesterday. While discussing it I began to think of my aunt and her son who seem to have a lot of the symptoms. But after reading the posts on this board I've realized that maybe they don't.

I'll tell you a little ...

Consequently I landed immediately in the hospital. It was the typical persecutory episode, i.e. they were all to get me, I was being poisoned, hearing voices, some religious delusions and song texts and films referring to me, there were cameras everywhere, ...
