I'm seeing and hearing things that aren't there, and I'm loosing my memory alot. It started like 2 weeks ago and I started to forget simpole things, I washed a tomato 4 times before I remembered I washed it before, I left the kitchen getting verious items because I forgot what my mum was asking me for. I'll read something and forgot what I read in minutes. I don't use drugs and I never have and I am so confused. I see men and women walking around in my house that aren't there or I might see a dog, sometimes, a bird but they are not there. I might hear cars that aren't there or a train.
strange how it hit you all at once. i would say this but all i can say is go and see someone soon. like right now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia
wow ok yea i had no idea sweety.. it does sound like shitsophrenia & i know i assumed it was just depression begfore but schitsophrenia does make sence (and dont take that as a label to define or limmit u only a possible factoir ffecting you) i think you should think sbout getting help, itw not that big a deal just will take a lil help to understand & treat it you should not ignore iot though\
Hmm schizophrnia may be the best guess but I have done some research . On one of your post you said you were a vegan. Now I am just taking a guess ( you need to see a doctor ) but maybe you could have protein deficiency here are some symptoms Mental and Emotional Risks Apathy Depression, anxiety Irritability, intolerance, moodiness Decrease in mental alertness, comprehension, and concentration Thoughts focused on eating, weight and hunger Self-absorbed, self-focused, decrease in wider interests Preoccupation with own body, judgmental of others' Lowered self-esteem, feels self-worth depends on being thin Physical Risks Weakness, fainting, fatigue Cold intolerance Gallstones Gouty arthritis Cardiac disorders Elevated cholesterol Anemia Headache Elevated uric acid levels Loss of lean tissue Nausea Diarrhea, constipation Edema Hair loss, and thinning hair Hypotension Abdominal pain Muscle cramps Aching muscles Both slowed and increased heart rate Heart abnormalities, arrhythmias Death p.s.- again this is just a shot in the dark you must see a doctor
People with schizophrenia generally don't know something is wrong, like they don't realise that what they are seeing and hearing isn't real.. I thing that's right anyway.. So by you coming on here and explaining it to try and find out whats wrong, mean you probably don't have that, so try not to worry too much.
Visual hallucinations are very, VERY rare... people with schizophrenia usually just have auditory hallucinations. Plus, this came on very suddenly. Go see a doctor ASAP.
I agree in seeing a doctor...I don't think it's schitz though. I've known quite a few with it and they don't see it as weird, it's perfectly normal to them. I know it's kind of...what's the word....crazy? But I think it could be stress and maybe you're having psychic experiances, seeing people and animals, hearing cars and trains...I would suggest exploring this side of you. Have you tried having conversations with these "hallucinations"? Do you just see them briefly? Do you get a good vibe or do they seem threatening? Good luck...
God, if you see a physician, please do your homework first. More than likely you will be misdiagnosed in the beginning, then probably put on anti-psychotic prescription drugs for the rest of your life. You are young, so it's easy for someone your age to easily slip into a theta brainwave state, hence the hallucinations/hearing voices, but I also believe it could possibly be nutritionally related as well. If you are vegetarian you could be experiencing a form of mycotoxin (fungus) poisoning, i.e., aflatoxins, especially if you consume a lot of nuts, especially peanuts/butter, and organic produce. Memory lost and hallucinations are common symptoms of mycotoxin sensitivity. Also, if you live in a damp climate, or are exposed to any kind of mold and/or mildew, the symptoms of such exposure can make one feel as if they are going crazy. Back in the dark ages, whole villages were accused of being witches because they were having all kinds of hallucinations, and on the border of insanity. What was eventually discovered was that their main food source...grain...had been over-taken by Ergot (another form of mycotoxins) and consumed by the village residents unaware of its potential dangers. http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/wong/BOT135/LECT12.HTM
You are correct. A+ on the psych test. Darlin, we cannot even come close to a diagnosis here on the internet. The best you'll get from us is a shot in the dark. There are so many different neurological problems that could be causing these memory lapses. You need to see someone quickly. Please keep us informed with what happens with this strange phenomena and we will be here for support after you finally find out what is causing it. Good luck.
It could absolutly be something physical as well, nice find Lulso on the Iron deficiency. In any case, see a doctor asap because something major is happening.
geez idiotic meat eatters why are ya always pushing meat on people who are totaly against it? sure u can thr\ough out a million symptoms & maybe 1 or 2 might seem simulular but arent you ignoring the biggest sympotoms that are in no way explainable by protein deficiency? show me in that list where it says halucinations? why are you trying to change her diet when thats in no way a factor? why are so many meat eatters so threattened by vegans? oh you tripped & fell myust be because you dont eat meat oh you forgot to do your homework must be because you dont eat meat oh you sneezed you must meed a big fat hamburger geez try again
if its not a mental problem then this is the most likely culprit in fact was it you that said you had a mould problem in the basement? i remember theres some reason u dont go down there wasnt that it? if theres a mould issue in the basement it camn affect the entiore house & your mom too whos already semi nuts (no offence) you need to look into that & if thats the case get it cleaned up immediately, no excuses
Now if you are a real veggie you should worry about proteins and DONT eat soy as protein source dont want to cause polemics but soy and its derevates are all poison deadly poiso after 1 year drinking 2 cups of soy milk per day i got fucked up good ,hipotiroidism
more bullshit some people are alergic to soy but ive eatten a ton of soy for 20+ years without a problem i eat soy nearly every day where do u come up with this crap about soy being deadly piosion? soy is in almost everything you eat, yup meat eatters too damn ignorance
