I think I have schitophrenia because I have all of the symptoms of people who do! On top of that, I've been dealing with self-harm for a while now! I can't talk to my family about any of this, but I'm too young to drive myself anywhere and I live in a big city so my parents won't let me go out by myself! I really am at a loss as for what to do. Please, please help me, I really do need it!
Thank you!

Is there a preacher at church or a trusted family friend or even your medical doctor who could help? You could tell your Mom that you had to go to the Doctor for another reason, and then be alone with the doc and discuss the issues?
You could also call a T's and try to set up an appt...you probably do need to at least check once and see what they say.
I hope it works out well for you.
Thanks for the advice! I think I should be able to find a doctor or someone to help me. I'm working on becoming closer to my mom- because we aren't very close- then I'll ask her if I can see a therapist, 'cause i'm underage so I have to have her permission. I'll probably go to a school guidance counselor next semester so that will help also.
Thanks for the help!
I emailed :o)
I don't think you should just diagnose yourself with schizophrenia as its a very serious thing to have however its a step to recognise that maybe something is wrong. Do you attend school or college? they should have someone you could speak to about your worries on such things as this and who can direct you in the right way. I've visited the doctor frequently without anybody in my family knowing and i see a counsellor weekly to talk about my worries and whats going on in my mind, there will be someone who is able to do this for you and point you in the right direction to help you. Talk to a teacher/tutor? if not, just visit a doctor and tell them your symptoms?
I hope everything gets better for you, good luck with the self-harm also, i know what its like, I'm currently dealing with it too and it can get better for us :o) if you ever need to talk, just give me your email and I'll be right here :o)
good luck and best wishes with everything
Thanks for answering! I'm actually homeschooled, which I hate. I'm underage so I can't drive. I might talk to my mom about getting me a therapist and I'll just tell her that I've been feeling really down lately.
I hope you can get better with your self-injury. I might e-mail you if I feel really depressed, if you don't mind; I really don't have many friends and only one knows about my self-harm and she won't talk with me about it. If you want, you can e-mail me at l7_hay@hotmail.com. I don't know what your e-mail is, and I don't know how to get it because I'm new to this site, but you can e-mail me and I'll e-mail you back.
Thanks for answering!
