Hearing Voices and Going to School

Postby act_vista » Sun May 03, 2009 9:03 am

I was diagnosed before with schizophrenia disorder which caused me to stopped from studying. I'm back to school for half a year now. The voices came back.. Its doing no harm yet. Except that I'm almost forced to stop from studying again only for good that time.

:twisted: Since then, I am lying from my doctor and school guidance counselor about hearing voices because I'm afraid they'll force me to stop attending school again.

I am very well sure that I can attend school without doing any harm to other people as well as to myself. I want to be honest with my doctor so that she can treat me better. But I don't want to stop from going to school again.

I only hear voices when I am going to sleep...

No one should be stopped from going to school just because they hear voices. Are you in high school? I'm surprised that they stopped you from going to school before. What were the voices telling you - to harm others?

why did you do this? :twisted:

wanted to let us know you're... dangerous or something?

if you're only hearing voices at night i don't see how it affects school or studying.

I thought he was saying that others thought he would be dangerous, but he feels he is not.

I can only assume the studying part is difficult because you are focusing on your concerns or memories regarding your nightime hallucinations. I don't have to be currently delusional/hallucinating to be drawn into my memories. Is this true of you?

Is a comprimise possible, where you take meds and still attend school? Or homeschooling that is credited? I don't see why they should take you out if you are not dangerous or disruptive (talking to yourself/hallucinations, etc.) at school.
Nothing appropriate comes to mind.

I'm not dangerous.. I think I'm just different. They stopped me from studying before, saying it's for my own good.. Everytime I insist they're saying I am not in the position to decide for myself no matter what my age will be. BTW i'm already 21 and a 4th year Electronics and Communications Engineering student.

Sometimes I'm in deep thought or I remember a lot of things that I'm not sure if it really happened.. I must admit stopping from attending school before is a right decision because back then I'm already losing focus and can't comprehend anymore. But now I'm well enough to attend school.

FYI: I'm taking meds and on a regular check up with a psychiatrist.
