Alien Abduction and Psychosis

hello i dont know if i was abducted or if i may have some mental illness like schizophrenia. i seem to suffer from all the symptoms of schizophrenia. i remember clearly all the experience with the aliens but i dont know if it was my imagination or hallucination or dream. i believe they gave me the abilities to make aliens obey me and telepathic abilities. i remember i called out to them to abduct me cuz i hated my life as a child and i wanted to see if aliens are real. i got a lot of people hurt cuz they obey every little thing i said. i think i made my family fbi agents. there was this girl at school who could hear my thoughts and i forgot to mention i name them when i first met them as a child and they told me she would be going to a certain school and she was there and had that same name i gave her and she would repeat every thought in my head. she the only physcial proof i have if i only i got her contact information i would know the truth but it didnt happen. i was depressed and i smoked a lot of pot. i also read pot can give you psychosis

Hello, and welcome!

I would hazard a guess something is going on from a mental standpoint, sure.

At what age did this start for you?

Also have you seen any professional about this, mentioned it to a doctor, etc?

I'm not very well versed on how likely it is that pot can bring on psychosis. I know if a person has a mental health issue it seems pot can be a real crap-shoot. I'm not schizophrenic but I do have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, which, despite being classified as an anxiety disorder, does share some traits with, and can even be a precursor of, schizophrenia. And I know for me (and a number of people who have posted to the OCD forum) that some things don't play well with pot, and OCD is often one of those things. It will exacerbate the disorder. The trope about folks getting paranoid when high on pot? OCD kicks that into high gear for some of us. It also triggered painless migraines in me (something I already had experienced, but pot triggered an episode) characterised by visual aura- which you could say is a sort of hallucination, in a way. OCD isn't quite delusional, but it sure flirts with it and can occasionally stray into delusion- and I've flirted with delusions more than once in my life. I stay away from the pot.

But I'd really like to know at what age you began to feel like this. It's my understanding Schizophrenia typically presents mostly in a person's 20s to I think maybe early 30s. I have extended family history of the disorder, and while they were always a troubled child, I believe the diagnosis of Schizophrenia happened in their early 20s.

at 8 years old. it could also be false memories-that would explain why i have those memories-the experience with the aliens.

Eight seems awful young if we're talking Schizophrenia but I'm sure it's happened before. False memory- that could be interesting. Lot of folks with OCD struggle with that- after a while you obsess over something long enough and think and doublethink and overthink and overthink some more, you get to where you don't know what's real and what isn't anymore.

i am truly terrified if any of this is true. when youre young youre dumb and naive is why i wasnt cautious of those aliens as i wouldve been if i was an adult. youre absolutely right, i cant tell what real anymore if these memories are truly false memories. nice talk talking to you, you sound like you actually care. me and the aliens got so many people hurt including myself is why im so afraid of any of this being true. im ridden with guilt over everything that may have happened. i believe i made my father have a stroke and my mother allergic to the floor and my sisters and the girls i liked whores in saigon. the first two actually happened but i dont know about my sisters and the girls i liked. i also think people can hear my thoughts and obey my intrusive thoughts because the aliens gave me telepathic abilities.

Do you see a doctor for this?
