Well, I was talking to my girlfriend and I was really happy, then a second later I was like really emo, so I made a joke about being schizophrenic.
She didn't know what schizophrenia was, so I explained -- then I thought to myself "hmmmm maybe I DO have schizophrenia" so I went and looked it up on a website for more details and this is what it came up with:
QUOTE
"People diagnosed with schizophrenia usually experience a combination
of positive (i.e. hallucinations, delusions, racing thoughts),
negative (i.e. apathy, lack of emotion, poor or nonexistant social
functioning), and cognitive (disorganized thoughts, difficulty
concentrating and/or following instructions, difficulty completing
tasks, memory problems)."
I was then like "uh oh..." because quite a few of those symptons apply to me.
So I am thinking I should go get a psychiatrist and get examined for schizophrenia.
Now, the help part. Suggestions on how I tell my parents that I want to be tested for schizophrenia.
and my parents are always teasing me about being crazy, so I don't think they will take me serious.
Please Help!!
