I think I might be schizophrenic, but I'm afraid if I bring my concerns to a doctor, they'll tell me there's nothing wrong even if there is, because I already think I have it. What do I do?

If you have the symptoms, it is fair to assume that you have something. Whatever it is, only a doctor can diagnose it. See multiple doctor if you have to but don't self medicate yourself.

Doctors are there to help you! Maybe you have another condition, one you may not know of. No matter what, they'll listen to your concerns and try to help you as much as possible. If they don't, speak to another doctor!

You must believe in their judgment as health professionals. Most MD's won't be able to directly diagnose that and if you choose, they will probably send you to a specialist to get you evaluated closely.

I understand how you could be feeling nervous about rejection. It's something that so deeply affects your life that you'll feel even more trapped if someone doesn't acknowledge and validate your struggle. I think this is a common worry specifically of people who struggle with mental illness. For no reason should you being open about your struggle ever make a professional say that it wasn't real. I think you should bring it up to your doctor and would also suggest telling a therapist and getting professional insight. Remember that you're not alone here on 7 cups, and your concerns are real. No one should have to go through that confusion alone. Good luck!

I can understand how you may be concerned with how a doctor might see you after telling her your suspicions, however, they are there to help. Your concerns are valid and should be shared with a doctor that you trust and respect. While I cannot tell you what to do, I will say that you know yourself better than I do. If you feel concerned, it may be best to share with a health care professional. What do you think about that?

I would say go to a doctor with your symptoms but allow them to diagnose you at first instead of immediately sharing what you think you have. If you can go right to a psychiatrist instead of your PCP you may have more luck. But most doctors do tend to get annoyed when patients are too adamant about their self-diagnoses, but if there is an appropriate time to share what you think you may have, that is fine. Just tread carefully.

This is such a sensitive topic! And while i can make suggestions, they may not be right for you. Only you are the expert on you.
This is most certainly a thing you need to discuss with your GP. They will refer you to a professional and it will be investigated. This is not something that any medical professional will take lightly as prevention practices are very necessary. If you are indeed schizophrenic, a rigorous recovery plan will be put in place.
Dont forget the wise words, "if you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." It reigns true for this as well.
