Paranoid Schizophrenia.....I need advice

I know this is a public forum but fellow members, this is not the right place to talk about your opinions of psychiatry or offer medical advice (a definite no no).

OP, hang in there for your children and remind yourself you have keep these symptoms controlled previously and there is no reason you can't get back to functional living again .

If you can focus on your well being (conscientious thoughts) first, it will be beneficial since you can gain strength intern becoming stronger support for your children. Lastly address your husband when you feel up to it.

There are plenty of support websites / services available for you if you need gathering them u2u me and I can help google away

I understand since I have been diagnosed for schizophrenia, presenting similar symptoms for 3 years until 2 weeks ago they found a neurological cause (now I am fine).

Stay strong and remember all bad things come to an end.

Don't get me started about the bull crap that some of you all write on this forum.

Anyone with the slightest of intelligence will read and take all oppinions in consideration. An idiot would listen to one persons view and take it as fact. I even never do that after twenty years of study.

No one is giving any psychological advice. We are giving are views just like you do on other parts of this forum.

See if you would of read my first post and comment and not jump to conclusions you would of seen that I wrote no one can just instantly give a diagnosis.

Sorry but you just proved your lack of logical thinking and intelligence buy jumpung to conclusions.

Added:

Well all obviously feel for truthseeker and wish for his/her well-bieng.

I was going to write before I seen your comment that I hope to seen more of truthseek in the light hearted parts of this forum.

To the people who asked, I am 43 I was taking lectopam since I was 19 years old, and no I was not abusing any other drugs. I seen so many things, beautiful and horrifying, and I actually thought God was speaking directly to me at all times. To say I am in tune I don t know about that but I felt as if I were.

I see a psychiatrist every 6 weeks, and am not on risperadone, as someone stated I may be on, I go for a needle every 2 weeks, and this has stoppeed the episodes.

As far as my children my daughter comes in every week, and stays 5 days, my youngest son still will not speak to me, why I don t know, my husband promises he will be there for me this time, but he said that before.

Am I happy now, yes I am very happy...I have been told by so many people not to go back and it just confuses me, he is a good man but I stabbed my daughter with scissors when I felt like I was possessed and was trying to get them to help me, I was so scared cause I felt evil, and they were blocking the doorway, and my husband sai, ......... She just tried to kill you...............and that took me out of whatever episode I was having, my poor daughter understands what I went through, but my son whom I did nothing to does not and hates me.

As far as meds now I take seroquel now, 2 at bedtime, and the needle every 2 weeks and that is it..
I am still reading replies so if I missed a question sorry.

Thank You to the one who said to say..............crazy like a fox ..........I will take that and run with it.

All of the people I know diagnosed with schizophrenia are in the church, Christians. My strongest advice is be very careful of Christians. They have many tools specifically focused on schizophrenics.

You are not possessed by demons. You do not need protection from demons. Demons do not exist. They are a fabrication of anomalies in your neurology.

The reason I though I was possessed that night was I smeeled a smell like gas, and it would not go away I asked if anyone else could smell it and they all said no...then I felt a sense of evil in me, and my mother in law always said she bore the anti-christ when she bore my husband, their house number whre he grew up was 666, their phone numer adds up to 666 ...........862-6156 3 sixes in it, and we were living in a house a different one then the one he grew up in and the numbers were 666.......that is why I felt evil all around me, and was seeing demons.

I am glad you are fine now, thanks for the support you can never have enough of that.

I know a lady that has been labeled as such, I'm no Dr, but I've been around all these illnesses and I think she's Bipolar, not Schizophrenic.

Are you saying I sound like I am bipolar.........


BTW when I stabbed my daughter with the scissors, I never stabbed her I spliced her arm a bit lleft a little mark....
