Am I Schizophrenic?

well I don’t trust anyone because of stuff that happened in my past. and if I have problems that really bring me down, I sign on to two different screennames, my own and a fake one, and talk to myself. I pretend I’m someone else giving me advice, and it helps me through it. I realize it’s not a real person but I can’t get through things if I don’t do that. and when I’m alone, I’ll talk to myself as if someone’s there, and although I know someone isn’t there, I basically go into another world and talk to someone else. I have tons of friends… I’m not some weird kid really… but I can’t talk to my other friends about the things I talk to myself about. and I’ll catch myself just talking to myself in my head.. like asking questions and answering them. also, I feel like I’m never alone. I always feel like a ghost is in my house, or especially in mirrors (it sounds weird… and no, it’s not an idea from a horror movie. I’ve had a fear of mirrors at night when I’m alone for a few years). is this a sign of schizophrenia? or another disorder?

Answer #1

Maybe it’s just your way of expressing yourself…but if it’s hindering you from having a normal relationship or if you get too paranoid you hurt someone then that’s bad…you have to seek professional help…but just go to psycologist and ask just to see what’s wrong …could benothing..or could be something…better safe than sorry…

Answer #2

I do not think so, but you may find a lot of relief if you can just seek out some help. The first step is to talk to your doctor, or your school counselor. Either one can help you get assistance.

Good Luck!!
