it kinda scares me. it's closely related to schizophrenia, except you know what you see/hear/think isn't really there and it drives you nuts.

idk what to do.

kinda like the drunk when u know ur drunk, so it makes it ok to drive thing?

ummm but yeh, there are others like u, so its not impossibly to remedy
trying to diagnose yourself with a mental condition via internet information is a very bad idea, you should seek professional help from a reputable doctor and even multiple proffessional opinions. You're only harming yourself by attempting to diagnose yourself with a mental disorder
your probably just paranoid or a hyperchondriach (i think thats how you spell it) incase you dont know what that means it means that you Exxagerate what you think is "symptoms" because you have information on a disorder. i recomend seeking medical advice incase it is an actual disorder, it doesnt sound like depression from the descrription at all.
Instead of self diagnosing go to a doctor and get a referral to a psychiatrist. If you do indeed have this you can help yourself with medication and long term psychotherapy. Some of the symptoms hit close to home to me, getting anxious and paranoid!
doctors are stupid...if u recognizing u have a aproblem...then u have a problem..duh!!!!!!!
i finally know my illness thank you ha cause i know theres something really wrong in my head and i have like manic depression meaning i just want to slash my wrists and die every moment and i just want to cry if i do something wrong
I think you may have posted this a year ago- but if you still check these comments out I'd just like to say that one of my friends has psychotic depression. He is quite well as long as he is taking meds, although stress can being the symptoms on again.
Hope you have found some good care/a proper diagnosis. Like everyone, a balanced lifestyle and supportive friends/family help alot with this sort of thing.
all the best.Have faith in yourself- you can manage this.
Yes I have the same thing. The best pills that I've tried were zoloft and zyprexa together for about a year & 1/2. It was extremely helpful, but i gained 30 pounds in 6 months, so I switched to seroquel and stayed on zoloft, and it was almost as good. now of course i don't have insurance and am off pills and dealing with it on my own with no help from pills or people, and hey I'M ALIVE! barely
WOW, SCARY. GET SOME SLEEP
Some of you poeple are acting likee dicks, First of all I know exactually what your talking about. I have somehting similar to that. And medication can only help to a certain extent.
For someone to say I think i'm pyscotic means they are not pycotic.If you were pycotic you wouldent no it and you would deny it becasue you would think your delusions were real!
