Do I Sound Schizophrenic?

I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by a mental health team (psychiatrist, therapist) because the Haldol they put me on made me more stable. Why I'm off my meds, I'm unresponsive and caught up in a fantasy world or daydreams.

Here are my symptoms:

-Seeing people as predators who play dominance/submission games
-Feeling persecuted, like people are out to get me
-Feeling like people are threatened by me, jealous of my superior qualities
-Feeling like I'll eventually be sabotaged by someone to humble me and make me mediocre
-Isolation
-Maladaptive daydreams/hallucinations? involving me fighting for my independence and respect as a free adult
-Difficulty with grooming, cleaning, chores
-Seeing myself as having absolutely nothing in common with people

What do you think?

We can't diagnose people here, but it sounds like that if there is something wrong with you, it could be Schizophrenia, yes. It could be a wide range of things. Could possibly be anxiety with minor depression (the depression would cause the lack of grooming).

But overall, I think that they may be right, and I only say that because it sounds like me. The lack of grooming and hygiene is classic Schizophrenia. It's a symptom that a lot of people don't know is a part of the disorder. The rest sound like paranoia that stems from Schizophrenia. Again, I'm not diagnosing you or anything, but generally, if you have just one of those "people out to hurt me" thoughts, and they're here and there, it's just simple paranoia stemmed from anxiety, but if you have them constantly, it could be Schizophrenia, mainly paranoid Schizophrenia.

It could be but more important than a diagnosis is how are your symptoms affecting the life you want to lead and do you want to possibly improve it with drugs and/or therapy? It can be dangerous and worsen if left untreated so I would see a different psychiatrist ASAP for a second opinion. Other similar diagnosis include bipolar, schizoaffective, borderline personality disorder.

Perfectly normal to feel special, or superiority don't worry you are not alone there is many special people in this world, and nobody care about them.

Use your gift do not be afraid to use them, and walk in love all we can do is sow seeds, and plant them, and water it.

Reason we get paranoid is because our society doesn't accept it as a social norm, but there is many of us out there we just know that we are not alone, and there is more out there. Just keep this in mind there is people out there that is very good, and you may think you are special, but there is other that is even more special.

There is a saying when you think you are very good, but there is always somebody else better. The reason you are like that is because you are awakening, and noticing it, and it's like this seeing you see, but not perceive, and many people just not perceiving, but they are getting the same thing as you are.

All of us has a secret hidden talent every one of us, and a person that is very good can see what each individual talent are, and isn't that incredible? Like for an example what you are experiencing there is people that can see what you are seeing, and these people has a name they are called ascending master.

Modern society is a real mess that is made worse with every passing day and half of what you experience is more than likely to be true of people where what you feel is actually what it really is in some capacity however this is never an easy position. Society prefers that everyone stays numb and stupefied that we all carry on a soulless empty machines but that is not how reality works. We all get dealt cards that are often not easy to play but all in all we all have to make do so my advice is to pick through what you have so to speak that gives you advantages and work with that as there always has to be an upside to every downside.

The trick in this is finding balance then knowing when it is delusion and when it is intuition, when it is intuition it should never be ignored as people have found that by experience to be more true than many would like to admit. As for delusions look for Good help not just any help and I have my own opinions regarding big pharma, Good help won't push meds telling you that it is the solution but will work with you to get through the problems. Should you be open to spirituality that can do wonders at sorting out problems both real and of the mind/spirit.

cant diagnose on here but some symptoms you mentioned certainly sound familiar for sure

I am not diagnosing you because that is not a role I am qualified to do and it is against the rule but from what you say I think you're answering your own question. Look up symptoms of schizophrenia. You have a lot of the symptoms of schizophrenia or possibly even Schizoaffective Disorder. Talk to your Pdoc for me info.

Thanks folks. I'm starting to come to terms with my diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. I thought I was schizoid for a while because I'm a loner and can be indifferent towards criticism and praise most of the time. But I am able to form bonds, unlike schizoids, for example with my mother and my partner. So that's not it. It's schizophrenia.

I was confused because my "voices" are audible like people's voices. So I thought maybe it was pure ocd's intrusive thoughts. But they are auditory and visual hallucinations (sometimes even tactile when I'm half asleep, think sleep paralysis).

I think the most obvious sign that it's schizophrenia is the need isolate myself, followed by the fear of being trampled on my some sugary sweet psychopath.
