Someone answer me
I don't know for certain that I have schizophrenia. But all day long there are familiar voices in my head. Family members from my dad's ex marriage. My kids sometimes. They bag on me all day. My ex step mom especially, everyday all day. My dog sometimes trigger me and I think he's trying to tell me something. If he points his nose to left foot it means good and if he points to my right I'm doing something wrong. Earlier I was shopping and my ex husband was in my head calling me lazy.
My ex boyfriend and brother are always "around me" like I can see a not distinct figure of either one. And I know who's who. Like an aura. Lately the one of my brother has been super excited and happy. The ex is always putting in his 2 cents on my day to day. Idk what I did to deserve this. But I hate it and feel like it's something I've brought on myself.
Maybe I really am just missing something. Like I'm heading straight for *** with no way to get help.
Does this sound like schizophrenia?
@turkeybby There are no experts here who can diagnose schizophrenia, and we are not allowed to give medical advice. If you think you might have schizophrenia or any other illness, then a doctor is the best person to ask about it. Doctors can prescribe medications that many people find helpful.
I know some people (in real life, not here at 7 Cups) who have schizophrenia, and the problem is not voices in their head. The problem is voices outside their head, in the room or outside the window, or in other places. This makes me think that voices in your head do not mean you have schizophrenia.
But if you see people around you who are not really there, or if you often see something like an aura, then I think that's different because it's not just in your head. But I could be wrong. A doctor will know.

Hello, Turkey,
Intrusive thoughts and negative self talk are very real, but not necessarily indicative of Schizophrenia. Definitely get a second opinion.
I hope you’re feeling better today! 💕
You just sound a little f. .ed up honey, just keep in touch with people who really appreciate you, and not bullies and abusers.
