Talking to myself

[ParanoidDepression]

I havent seen a doctor cause im to scared to go and talk to one, or even ask for help with it. I sit there the whole day talking to people in my head but their so real, i see them as part of me. Their the only ones who i can really talk to without a problem. Ok so im only 16 and my dad keeps telling me that im too young to experiance stress and things like that, he doesn't know anything about this though. Seriously people that used to be my friends have told me that im a schizophrenic...if thats how you spell it. People i THOUGHT were my friends sit and laugh at me when my back is turned, but... its not just them either, everyone does it. i hate sitting in exams and things like that cause i can always hear people sniggering and laughing and i HATE it. Isn't there anyone i can talk to.

If you think you can help me then please PM me. i cant take this much longer.

I agree with rmjmj in that getting some help is the best thing you can do right now. PLEASE talk to your dad, tell him exactly what you posted, so hopefully he can understand what you are experiencing. Then, regardless of his reaction, seek out help from a school counselor or school nurse. Even if you could speak with your family doctor, that would be a step in the right direction. One of those people can help you get in touch with someone who can help. It sounds like you are in a lot of distress...hang in there!

the symptoms you are having doesn't necessarily mean you are schitzo it Could be many many things. Things as simple as stress. However I think it is very important that you get professional help  Don't be afraid to go to the dr you are at the age when these symptoms do tend to reveal them selves my son is schitzo and it can be scary but the sooner you find out And the earlier you get treatment the better it can be managed. As for your father don't worry it is normal and typical for parents to be afraid to even imagine there children having any problems I strongly suggest you go to a school councelor or even the nurse and talk to them make sure you inform them that you have already spoke to your father and at this point he is not supporting your feeling of needing help. If that doesn't help you van go to the mental health agency in your area without an adult and ask to speak to some one   If you don't know where to go let me know the state you live in and I would be very happy to locate a mental health agency in your area if you would like to discuss this privatley you can e mail me ***@****.
