A couple of years ago, in my old school, my best friend died in a car crash and I saw it happen, lately I've been seeing her again and again at school and at home, I say hello and talk to her alot and it seems like she is actaully human, she doesn't respond nor does she leave until I've finished a sentence, my other friends think I am mentally unstable seeing as I talk to something that isn't there when I feel it is, I haven't told my parents yet and only a couple of my friends know, is it normal and have I got schizophrenia??

Not normal. If this is real (I doubt it, but just in case...), you should probably seek the help of a mental health professional. Hallucinating is not just a symptom of schizophrenia, but also Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other conditions. Did you ever go to therapy to deal with your friend's death?

I think you are grieving. Thats normal. There is literature on this. Talk to your parents.

I'm not quite sure if this is normal or not...but I still think you should seek some help. Talk to your parents, talk to your friends about it they should talk to you and help you out. And you should also see some therapy.

It is real, and no I never had thearapy after my friend's death, I thought I never needed it since it wasn't a serious case. My parents don't know about her death.

it is very normal to see people you are very close to after death.
our culture doesn't recognize it but most native cultures do.
tell her what you feel you have to.
you will stop seeing her once you have told her the thing you need to.

Its not 'normal',but its 'common' to see people after they have died.You need a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist.I suggest seeing one immediately-unless you want your pillows turning into monsters :p

If you were fairly traumatized by the event, there's a good chance that it knocked your mental health off balance. I've grounded myself in rationality, so I interpret my more paranoid thoughts (not hallucinations) as exactly what they are. I'm not sure that it's schizophrenia unless you truly believe that these hallucinations are real rather than imaginary-- but then you wouldn't be able to diagnose yourself.

i'm not sure this is an authentic post :/

But just in case it is, have you been taking any medication, like antidepressants or something? 'Cause that may have something to do with it. There are some drugs that don't make you see things, but make you remember things that didn't happen

I would see a psychic.
It's not going to be very helpful to you to be seen talking to someone that no-one else can see.
A psychiatrist is likely to tell you that you are not really seeing your friend and if part of you believes that you are that is going to put you in a situation where you either lie to the psychiatrist and tell them that you don't see your friend or tell them that you do, and then they will be treating you as if you have a disorder.
A psychic will already be open to the idea that you can really see your friend.
I would guess that it is most likely that your brain is playing games with you and you would be better of switching that part of your brain off because it is going to be more difficult to concentrate on your real life with this going on. Good Luck

It is not normal, but as it doesn't make you DO things, it isn't dangerous.

BUT, eventually it maybe become stronger and say something like:

"Its your fault I died-you should kill yourself"

so I think you should go not to a phychiatrist, but in a phychologist.

It has difference

Schizophrenics don't think that their is anything wrong with them. I think you have a need for closure.
