Schizophrenia???

On going problem since I was little, except now this past week they've gotten worse. Everyday now I have random hallucinations, audible and visual. Which doesn't scare me I just wonder why I see a figure walking then disappear when I get a full perception of what it is. Not only that, Whenever I walk somewhere I am always faced paced. Mainly for the fact, sometime at night when I walk through a dark hall I feel as if somethings chasing me, and stalking me. I also feel I've slightly altered myself into a slight form of depression, not the whole ugghh emo cut cut ****. Just I have felt no motivation whatsoever to finish my application for community college and to get a job,
I forgot one thing to add to my cocktail of issues, I have a lot of past memories I don't like. I let them go but every now and then I think of them.

When I do I feel as if I'm trying to push them away. My body tenses and twitches, and its uncontrollable. I have control over it sometimes. Like I won't do it when someones around. Except for once around my best friend and all he said was, wtf?

i think the hallucinations may be due yo your lack of sleep, as you don't seem to have mentioned any of the other main symptoms of schizophrenia. But go to your doctor about it and they can help decide if it is due to lack of sleep or something mental.

I don't think you are suffering from schizophrenia. I looked at your questions in your profile back to 10 months ago and there was no mention of any problems but one (Mental Disorder?) which again didn't sound like hallucinatory schizophrenia. In my experience when you suffer from schizophrenic hallucinations that is all you can think about from dawn to dark and day after day as they are debilitating violent and unwanted. They make it impossible to function normally. But I could be wrong.

It sounds to me more like some normal teen age personality adjustment problems. I disagree with one answerer who said hallucinations were not normal. Some 40% of the human population reports having had an hallucination at some time in their life. Look up "hallucinations" and "schizophrenia" in a Yahoo! web search. In the many links that come up wikipedia has good summary's. If you still feel you have a problem after such research consult your family GP physician for a possible recommend to a psychiatrist.

Good luck with your research, good mental health, peace and Love!

Lack of sleep can - at some point - cause hallucinations. To me, what you are describing doesn't sound like schizophrenia ... one of the most severe mental illnesses that exists. I am not a mental health professional, so a psychiatric evaluation might be a good idea. You might want to consider seeing a neurologist. There are other things that can cause hallucinations.

Perhaps some counseling can help you deal with the issues from your past.

It could be the start of developing schizophrenia. Many people with schizophrenia have negative symptoms which includes depression and lack of motivation.

Also, the twitching and tenses could be tics. Tics can be a part of schizophrenia as well.
