Anxiety or something else?!!
Ok I'm like so scared right recently I have been repeating alot of things in my head I've had anxiety for about 4 months now and I was obsessing about turning skitzo and stuff I would repeat things in my head like my symptoms I guess so if I would tell a doctor then I would listen closely for things like my own breathing to see if I would hear a voice now like 16 mins ago I was txting y friend and I started thinking about my day and how it when then I started hearing my friends voice in my head like things that he would say when I typed in medhelp on the search bar I though I heard "do u need help dude" in my head I was so ******* scared I started shaking I'm so sleepy right now but idk I'm like so scared right now what if after all this time I am skizo and I never new it I have no fam history of mental problems I'm just sad because if I am skitzo I'm gonna miss my family because I love them and I will probly never be the same :(
Ok my anxiety started after joining my school soccer team for about a week after I had a feeling thAt I wanted to pass out and my heart felt weird like I just wanted to rip it off. This was 5 months ago then I started to freak out like if I was high I had tried weed about 3 week ago before this and I hated it. This feeling lasted for about 15 secs then it wore off after that 1 hr later same feeling and same length of time of it. I was taken to the emergency room they said they tough I was dehydrated after that I went home and drank tons of water I started feeling better until one day I made the stupidest mistake I took 1 hit of weed and after it wore off I felt anxious after that day I looked up a **** ton of google stuff about weed and anxiety and read that it could trigger skitzo if used alot of times and if you have the disorder already in you and side then I can't let go of that tough I hopefuls makes sense thank you please write back
The first thing you need to do, RIGHT NOW, is calm down! You're working yourself into a full blown panic situation that is probably being made worse because you're Googling all your symptoms.........the real AND the imagined ones. Are you?
What happened in your life four months ago that triggered the anxiety? Think very hard about all aspects of your life and see if you can isolate a specific event that set off the anxiety alarm.
I don't mean to be critical, but your post is rather difficult to translate. I'm having a difficult time getting the time lines straight in my mind.
Was it before or after the anxiety began that you started to worry, possibly obsess, about being schizophrenic? Since no mental illness runs in your family, I find it just a little unusual that a 16 year old would know much about schizophrenia unless they had spent time looking it up on the Net.
If I'm understanding your post correctly, you haven't, as yet, seen a doctor about your fears. That should be your second step...........making an appointment with your doctor for a very thorough physical check up. IF there IS something going on, and I personally don't think there is beyond some anxiety and a developing dose of hypochondria, it's is far, far better that they find out now while you are young and healthy. We all know what it's like to be terrified of a possible diagnosis from our doctors. But you really must accept the fact that it is better to know than to let anxiety and panic take over your life. If you do have some disorder, it won't go away on it's own, it will just continue to get worse and you will have wasted precious time that could have been spent in treatment. The poster above talking about dementia, while I'm sure he meant well, was the very last thing you needed to read about right now. Dementia is virtually unheard of in people your age. Let that idea go right now, as well.
Calm down.
Call your doctor.
I very seriously doubt you are schizophrenic, but only your doctor can tell you for sure.
I know you are scared, but it's all part of growing up and facing some pretty scary stuff.
As one poster said, even if you WERE schizophrenic, you would NOT "lose" your family or friends or your life as you know it. Modern day psychopharmacology would allow you to live a very normal life. But I don't think we even need to be discussing this. I think we are putting the cart before the horse.
You know what you have to do.
Please keep in touch, OK?
Peace

My wife had similar issues with anxiety, hearing things, fatigue. We new she was anemic but until she saw a hematologist it was never diagnost completely. She received intravenious iron and gets a B12 shot a week. She also saw a homeopathic doctor for hormone treatments. The doctor said she would have had full blown deminta if they had not caught it in time. She is doing better now then any time in our 26 years of marriage.
