I sometimes am aware of a voice in my head speaking utter gibberish. It does not feel as if this voice is coming from me, it feels like it is speaking TO me and I should be speaking for it. As if I should be interpreting this gibberish language. I feel the need to vocalize it. When I speak the words out loud they make no sense. I feel as if I should recognize what it is saying and be able to interpret it.
My family has a history of schizophrenia, depression, and bi-polar disorder. I have never been diagnosed with any mental illness (however I was at one time prescribed Lexapro for depression as a teenager, which I stopped taking after I realized that I wasn't depressed... I was a typical angst-y teenager). I have recently, however, been having a lot of trouble in social situations. I become anxious and I shut down, losing all will to speak and interact. Shortly thereafter I begin to feel isolated and deeply depressed. This doesn't change until I am only around people that I am mostly familiar with.
I realize that I probably have social anxiety disorder, but do I have schizophrenia?
