I just dont know what to do.

Hey there,
I really feel for you, I wish I could say I know exactly what you're going through, but I don't. Just like no one gets my stuff either. Everyone has their own demons they have to face, and sucky as it is, that's life, and I hate it too sometimes. But you are worth fighting for, and don't let anyone tell you different. I have found that when it comes to meds and diagnosis for anything, 2nd, and 3rd opinions are not a bad thing. Be sure you're seeing the right doctor that gives a damn and knows their stuff. Sometimes they don't know shit, no matter what their title says. Meds are tough, I take stuff for anxiety attacks and they don't really work well if I drink either. It's a balance you have to find...I'm probably not helping much, I'm just another lost soul trying to deal with the crap thrown at us by the world, and wanted to say that in my own way I get your pain, and I care.

Hi Jeremy:
Hang in there, my son has SZ, You need to find a doctor you are comfortable with. Keep looking you will find one, SZ is hard to diagnose, you might not have this disease. You also may not have the right meds, it took us several tries to find the right medication. Meds take sometime as well to help you quiet the voices/hallucinations & taking alcohol w/them doesn't work.

What we have found out that a routine is good and this will help you keep focused.

You are doing something that is right by seeing the doctors and acknowledging that you have an illness. You need to also let your mother know so she can help. Ask her about your father if he is SZ? (Not trying to pry, but this illness is really genetically linked.)

It will get better for you. Don't give up. You are a special person.

I know it's been a bit since you posted this, but I feel for you most definitely. I have been diagnosed with Schizo-Affective for going on 5 years or so and I too have paranoia of saying the wrong thing. I apologize for everything that comes out of my mouth just about. I have been through 9 therapists and found a keeper.. I'm merely 21 so don't give up hope just yet. I've been on some nasty meds in my opinion and finally found a good one. With Schitz, you have to be patient. I have faith that you will be better with time, you just have to allow yourself that time and those stupid people that get in your way.. they just add to the ever winding path. Eventually the voices with stop patronizing you. The paranoia will subside if not go away (everyone is different). You will get through this.

Well, i am on over comming schizophrenic. I lived with high imaginations for 13 years. but it started out as worry lonely ,anxiety, depression, stress, and a new enviornment that i didn't feel comfortable with. God told me to get interested in somthing i liked,turn the t.V. off and the radio...because the louder i tried to hear it the louder the voices...i didn't know that when i was listening to these things that it lulled my brain...i relaxed it and tuned everything out. i wasn't useing my brain right for some reason...and He also told me to pay attention real hard(use all sences that God gave you). He got me on a good eating habit.No caffeen, very little sweets and a good inviornment with family and friends that support.I went from total schizaphrenic ....not able to comunicate,understand the general things in life ,or take care of myself by myself...so i have come a long ways...i was antisocial because of this by i fought my way through. i said , nothing is going to keep me down...and with God's help ,i get up .i said this prayer to God...(PSALM 61:1-4 ) " Hear my cry,O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed;Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been a shelter for me.A strong tower from the enemy I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings." When things got hard i stood on what God was teaching and fought And told Satan this....(ISIAH 54:17 )it is written" No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue which rises against you in judgement ,You shall condem for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord. .....God is on our side if we are on His.

Hi, jeremy...hang in there you will make it through this. If you think you need a better doctor, please do so. Sometimes when we doubt ourselves too much, it just clouds our judgment but then again we are the ones who knows exactly what we need.
