I Have Schizophrenia

so lately ive been diagnosed with schizophrenia. i knew something was off with me since i was 11 you know i went through some pretty traumatic events when i was 11-14 years old. but recently the start of 2018 everything has gotten worse (im 18 btw) anyways ive been hearing one voice since i was 11 but now there are 5 voices and they warn me about the govornment, time travel and me being watched. they tell me to be careful who i share these secrets with, theyve even told me to kill my family members because they are spies.

i feel like im going crazy, but i wanna understand more. i believe in this shit..

Please stay on your meds. If you don’t have meds, go see a doctor. One of my best friends has family members that have been diagnosed, and the meds make the difference between being able to function in society or being confined to jail or a psych facility. I have witnessed this first hand.

@iwhosmiles Honestly I know where you are coming from. Her son was the same way. He is now 24 and in jail with little chance of getting out. Her brother was diagnosed as well, takes the meds, and is doing fine to this day. I know you don’t know me, so there is little reason for you to listen, but I really have personally seen both sides of this and will encourage you again to take the meds.
