/sci/ - Science & Math

And then theres me thinking people can read my thoughts, thinking people are against me and implying negative things subtly in their words, truly think all authority hates me, and sometimes i get this weird state of mind where I think I am a genius or more physically adept than a navy seal and could take on anyone or could outsmart anyone if i put time into it.

My IQ, memory, and abilitiy to do math has decreased as well. IQ was 130 as a 10-13 year old. It is now is like 100-110. Ever since I started having troubles doing math. 11th grade, I kind of became a loner that time too.

I don't hear things, unless thinking I heard someone calling my name in the other room counts. Rare though. No voices giving me orders. No visual hallucinaitons, unless seeing sparkes/flashes of light when on the toilet counts. Sometimes in the bathroom when taking a shit I see sparks with trails of light. I assumed this was due to me exerting too much effort shitting.

Then the confusing part, which makes me unsure.

The hollow mask illusion. I saw the hollow face the first rotation, but afterwards it was popped out. And depending on the image, I could easily see the hollow mask. others, I couldn't at all. My brother failed every time.

Schizos are supposed to pass almost 100% of the time. How is it, I have such weird results?

Other signs of schizophrenia:

You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Your sexual adjustment has presented problems for you. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.

Are you male or female? And what is your current age?

You're retina is falling apart. Enjoy your blindness.

>>5540061
I have the need of others to admire me. I hate it.

Sexual adjustments means what?

>>5540064
>>5540064
I am 24 at the moment. First abnormalities happened around grade 10-11. American.

>>5540065
Are you serious? Im getting freaked out now. Why is this? I have an eye doctor in my parents insurance. Can they stop it?

Dont make me worry man please. Details.
>>5540066

>>5540069
I am by no means no doctor. However you do have signs of possibly being schizophrenia. Further more I am guessing you are a male and you are at the correct age to start having it come on more. You should go see someone.

>>5540061
damn...
Not op here, but is the messiah-syndrome also considered as a symptom?

>>5540075
>>5540075
Yeah I'm a guy. What about not seeing anything

>>5540079
You don't belong here. Science is a girl thing.

If you think you can diagnose yourself being a schizo, you don't have it.

>>5540061
This is such a vague description it seems like it could apply to a majority of society.

>I'm a loner
>My verbal fluency was abnormally low when tested
I think these two have a connection. If you don't talk with people a lot then you won't be as good at talking with people.

Welcome to modern medicine.

>>5540079
I mean to say, you may start getting your symptoms worse. You could start having more and more realistic hallucinations. Go see a real doctor. You just meet the common denominators for having it.

The delusions there are the scary part. It's typical of paranoid schizophrenia and also paranoid personality disorder to have thoughts that others can read your mind, thinking people hate you when they're just normal, delusions of grandeur that you're more important then you really are.

That being said there's other stuff besides schizophrenia which can produce psychosis. You probably should get on some antipsychotics to try to prevent anything from getting worse.

Do you want info on what's actually altered in a schizophrenic's brain or what?

>>5540099
I am not the OP but please info would be interesting.

this thread is stupid. You probably have to take a 200 question test to get diagnosed...

If you think you have symptoms you have to see a doctor...because ADD and a half other disease have many of the same symptoms....theres a big difference between those two alone

>>5540052
Depression, any social disorder, and downsyndrome meet your diagnosis too...

shame. down syndrome and or schizo...

>>5540052
how are you not fucking BANNED yet, get a god damn blog you raging fucking faggot

SSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEEEE

>>5540086

...that's exactly the point

>>5540090

oops

>>5540052
Dude those are systematic of not giving a shit

I just read that post and it scares me. I'm 23 and I have delusions of grandeur and paranoid thoughts. When I started going to college I could talk fine. Now I slur speech and can't think of the right words to say while talking.

>>5540125
What are you talking about?

>>5540055
the sparks when shitting is an eye problem i have too. it's caused by the pressure i think. i forget what it's called. go to an optometrist

>>5540061
This is high quality trolling. It's like reading a very long fortune cookie; a series of generalizations that are close enough to the mark that most people will identify with it unconsciously.

Hi /Sci/,
This guy has been posting on sci every day for 7 days now talking about himself. He doesn't have schizophrenia, he does have a personality disorder and he does have a drug abuse/addiction problem. You can play with him all you want, just don't support any illusions about 'helping' him.

>>5540061
Did you make that up, or read it somewhere?
I'm curious if it's actually being used seriously somewhere.

You have to see a psychiatrist to get a real assessment. The thing about symptoms in medicine (and this goes for psychiatry as well) is that you can have dozens of diseases that all have extremely similar lists of symptoms. For example, major depressive disorder and psychostimulant withdrawal are nearly identical in their symptoms.

All the stuff you listed can also be found in other psychiatric and neurological disorders. For example, problems communicating (stuttering, nonsensical sentences, slow speech, losing track of thought, having to think up preplanned things to say before you approach someone, etc) are also symptoms of social anxiety disorder.

Some of those symptoms are also normal depending on how old you are. Teenagers and 20-somethings usually have very grandiose thoughts and fantasies. IQ often changes dramatically between childhood and adulthood.

And all of this could also be caused by a brain tumor in just the right spot.

You have to see a psychiatrist if you want a real answer.

>You have a great need for other people to like and admire you

Isn't that everyone?

>>5540185

i have also seen this same thread created several times in the past few days, so i second this statement

I haven't seen this thread before and I feel as if I'm on the same boat as OP. but going to the doctor isn't really on my list of priorities...

>>5540255
>>5540185
You guys must have shit memories. The other guy was a methhead and rambled. OP specifically stated that guy inspired his thread.

Are you all retarded?

What about the hollow mask illusion? Why can I see through it sometimes, and not at others?

i actually believe my friend has mild paranoid schizophrenia and he certainly exhibits a majority of the symptoms. But it's 'mild' because it only occurs when he smokes with marijuanies. He says he can hear us (his friends) talking about him while he is in the room with us, or even 3 rooms away.
He also believes or holds this belief that he is better than he is. Doesn't have a job, dropped out of uni, yet he still thinks he is super smart, good looking and physically well built. Its crazy!
its so hard for me to tell him to stop smoking weed because then im afraid it could make his condition worse and he will truly believe that we are talking about him behind his back.

>>5540623
Weed causes me to be delusional too. It sucks. I have to use hard drugs

>>5540623
Paranoia is heightened awareness, your friend is right. You are a faggot and are talking behind his back, you're doing it right now.

OP I have quite literally identical symptoms, down to seeing flashes of light while taking a shit.

>>5540747
What is this shit light flashing?

>>5540747
Reading that shit was concerning for me too i see flashes of light pretty often and i also hear people calling my name all the time

I'm not schizophrenic but by a set of coincidences I had been tricked into believing so. People watch my window at night. I do stuff and just listen and I hear them saying "He's weight training?" or "What, what is that?(when I'm practicing to SHANK THE FUCKERS)" or watch me paint something like a carrot thinking it's a johnson so I have to paint it fast as piss. Why don't people think about who they use?

>>5541542
What is this?
