Avatar Posted by gen14laree 66 days ago (Question)
in the past two years, I have been experiacing some very weird things. Thoughts will come to my mind that I don't think and i will have a hugh urge to listen to them and do what they say. a few weeks after my daughter was born, my mind said to suffocate her. I didn't, but it made me feel horrible that I would even consider such a thing. I sometimes see things that arent there. I'll be driving, and look in the rear view mirror and see a car coming up behind me, and I blink and it's gone. Some of my urges are driving into a ditch, touching hot things, ect. I want to know what you think this is. Is it at all normal? am I schizophrenic?
I think my dad is psychotic. He thinks he is jesus, I am an angel, and my sister and her boyfriend is out to blow up the world. He burned down his house a few months ago. if he is, could I have inherited it??

I don't think any of us here can diagnose you. You need to get in contact with a psychologist or a psychiatrist and tell them about what you have been experiencing. It sounds as if it is something that is very frightening for you, and with a thought for your child(ren), I can see why! It's serious when you feel so strongly the urge to hurt yourself or your daughter, so please, see someone sooner than later. It was brave of you to write in for help!

RTS is right. No one here can diagnose you. I did answer the other post you put here recently. You said that you are only 17 years old. But you failed to mention that you have a child.

This is a very serious situation. It is more clear now that you have provided more details regarding your family and the fact that you hallucinate while driving and you have a child you care for.

To answer your question, NO, THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I am very, very worried about you. This is not a good situation at all. There may come a time when you can not pull yourself out of a hallucination and you might truly do some serious harm to yourself and/or, heaven forbid, your daughter. I hope you are letting your boyfriend know just how serious this is. He needs to be doing something to put precautions into place so that your daughter is not harmed.

Is there a close friend or a family member who can spend time with you until you are able to figure out how to get help? I would be afraid of leaving you alone whenever you are feeling vulnerable.

Please try to get the help you need. The things that are happening to you are not normal and are dangerous.

I'm actually considering putting her in a daycare during the day. she just really stresses me out. I'm looking into finding a psychiatrist.

Did you have these symptoms before you had your child and have they become worse since her birth. There is such a thing as "post partum pychosis" but that only comes after the birth of a child. I agree you should find a doctor.

I definitely would get to finding that therapist soon. It does seem to me that you probably do have something like you mentioned, but of course, we cannot really diagnose you over the internet.

Please seek help soon, for your sake and everyone elses.

Best,

Clyde
