Controlling Your Thoughts

Does it seem like I have schizophrenia?
I took a thingy that has some of the symptoms and deleted the ones that didn't apply. Examples of Physical Symptoms---- --Overly acute senses- lights are too bright, sounds are too loud. --Staring, while in deep thought, with infrequent blinking. --Clumsy, inexact motor skills --Sleep disturbances- insomnia or excessive sleeping --Movement is speeded up- i.e. constant pacing Examples of Feelings/Emotions---- --The inability to experience joy or pleasure from activities (called anhedonia) --Sometimes feeling nothing at all --Appearing desireless- seeking nothing, wanting nothing --Feeling indifferent to important events --Hypersensitivity to criticism, insults, or hurt feelings Examples of Mood---- --Sudden irritability, anger, hostility, suspiciousness, resentment --Depression- feeling discouraged and hopeless about the future --Low motivation, energy, and little or no enthusiasm --Rapidly changing mood- from happy to sad to angry for no apparent reason (called labile mood) --Severe Anxiety Changes in Behavior associated with schizophrenia ---- --Social isolation- few close friends if any. Little interaction outside of immediate family. --Increased withdrawal, spending most of the days alone. --Becoming lost in thoughts and not wanting to be disturbed with human contact --Replaying or rehearsing conversations out loud- i.e. talking to yourself (very common sign) --Finding it difficult to deal with stressful situations --Inability to cope with minor problems --Lack of goal-directed behavior. Not being able to engage in purposeful activity --Deterioration of academic or job-related performance --Inappropriate responses- laughing or smiling when talking of a sad event, making irrational statements. --Frequent moves, trips, or walks that lead nowhere Examples of Cognitive Problems Associated with Schizophrenia ---- --Ruminating thoughts- these are the same thoughts that go around and round your head but get you nowhere. Often about past disappointments, missed opportunities, failed relationships. --Becoming incoherent or stringing unrelated words together (word salad) --Frequent loose association of thoughts or speech- when one thought does not logically relate to the next. For example, "I need to go to the store to buy some band-aids. I read an article about how expensive AIDS drugs are. People take too many street drugs. The streets should be clean from the rain today, etc" The need to go to the store to buy band-aids is forgotten. --Racing thoughts --In conversation you tend to say very little (called poverty of speech or alogia) --Suddenly halting speech in the middle of a sentence (thought blocking) --Often not responding appropriately and thus coming off as cold, distant, or detached. --Difficulty expressing thoughts verbally. Or not having much to say about anything. --Difficulty focusing attention and engaging in goal directed behavior --Poor concentration/ memory. Forgetfulness --Difficulty understanding simple things --Obsessive compulsive tendencies- with thoughts or actions Examples of Delusions---- The most common type of delusion or false beliefs are paranoid delusions. These are persecutory in nature and take many forms: --Overpowering, intense feeling that people are talking about you, looking at you --Overpowering, intense feeling you are being watched, followed, and spied on (tracking devices, implants, hidden cameras) --Thinking that people can read your mind/ or control your thoughts Examples of Hallucinations---- --When people hear voices inside their heads, it is as if their inner thoughts are no longer alone. The new voices can talk to each other, talk to themselves, or comment on the person's actions. The majority of the time the voices are negative. I'm extremely paranoid. I see things in the shadows. I'm scared of stupid things. I know a lot of people don't know that they're becoming 'sick', but it says that they often don't know, not that they never know. Oh and also (I just feel like mentioning this) whenever I look at pictures of people I get really freaked out because I swear they're looking at me. Sometimes I even see them blink.
