So do I sound Schizophrenic?

Lately I had a Psychotic episode. I completely lost sense of reality, I felt different to everyone else and felt like I was being watched and people where out to get me, I was scared and I could not control my own thoughts, I have a voice in my head which is not mine, it comments all the time on what I am doing but I don’t control it, I think about things I don’t want to, and I am scared to make eye contact with people because I feel like they can read my mind.

I used to think that the Devil put the thoughts in my head, I feel like the world is against me and I see shadows running along walls and I believe that Ghosts are following me, never letting me rest, they’re always there. I constantly have to be on the lookout for Ghosts, and sometimes I hear people shouting my name, but nobody is there.

I never smile and I react to things inn appropriately and sometimes I am seen as cold, because I laugh at things when I get nervous, and if anyone looks at me in the slightest way I get really paranoid and think they want to kill me, I suffer from Severe Anxiety and was recently detained and was in a Mental Hospital for 3 weeks. It drove me mad in there.

I was already on an Antidepressant, but now I’m on an Anti-Psychotic which treats Schizophrenia and Bipolar, I am really clumsy and get really frustrated easily and have angry outbursts, I am really sensitive and my moods constantly shift and I can love someone one minute and they mean the world to me and the next minute I despise them, I have a fear of abandonment and always have nightmares that I’ll be left alone one day.

I sometimes feel like I am on a mission and I am the only real person in the world and I wonder if people are really alive like me, I know it sounds weird, I feel like I’m not going anywhere and I can pace up and down a room for ages because I do not know what I have to do, my thoughts race and my Mum says I always mess up on my sentences and say things which seem sensible but I am really just very random and the things I say have nothing to do with any situation.

Pictures of people scare me, as does looking in the mirror, I feel like the eyes are staring into my soul and it makes me uncomfortable. I feel like everyone is against me and that I am alone in the world, and I get really obsessive with my religion, I don’t know how to be a normal person and feel like someone controls my thoughts. Am I Schizophrenic? My brother suggested I was and the Anti-Psychotic I’m on is for it and Bipolar?

am i depressed?

I have an avarage life – good job – good pay – living in my own place with my partner but my feelings inside are up and down constantly – like a rollacoaster! to extremes when i am crying over nothing (and cant stop) to being the most social outgoing happy go-lucky girl next door. And i have kept a diary of my moods and its not just when i am due on….
Aug 2007 i took a turn for the worse and after being out on what seemed a normal night out with the girls, turned into me going on an almighty low and tried to take my own life by over-dosing – i thankfully survived and took up councelling sessions but i still feel very up and down, lots of enthusiasm and excitement one moment – to being unhappy-insecure and ‘feeling empty’
My counceller and psch-nurse says it could be from when my father died at a significant age of just 14.
I really dont wanna go on anti-depressants.
Do you think this could be depression? if so what type????

I have been in this particular weight loss program for over 2 years now . Since then I had loss some weight but then gained it back. (twice) Also, sometimes I go thru these depression moods and will binge on sweets. I don; t know what the block is that;s hindering me from reaching my weight loss goal ; I needs to lose about half of my weight.

Effects of Anti-Depressants..?

A very good friend is taking anti depressants…

I’ve noticed some pretty big changes in her moods and general emotional state….

What are the effects of anti-depressants..?

* Makes you a bit impatient ?

* More blunt in the way you speak to people ?

* Generally a bit zombified ?

* Sleep more than usual ?

Sometimes she can be a bit hurtful (towards me) which I never had any problem with before…

I went to visit her at her house a while ago, and we didn’t talk much, she just lay down on the couch, she put on a DVD – even though we hadn’t caught up in ages…. She just zoned out and said hardly a word….

I suppose I’m wondering whether I should be making her aware of her behaviour or not…

Any information or suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answers…

She’s been on anti depressants for a few years now…

How do mood changes work when a woman is on her period?

I know they typically happen during the premenstrual cycle, but do their moods change during their periods too? What kind of moods do they typically express, and are woman usually crabby during when they’re on their periods?
