Do I have problems? Should I tell my parents?

Question

Well Im going through a rough stage in my life.

I am fearing that I have schizophrenia, as I am hearing voices.. sounds kinda like they need to clear their throat. It gets mad when it hears laughter.

I also do see some things that others cannot, and even a re-appearing person every here and there. When I start talking to him people give me the dirtiest looks.. like "wtf" looks and it really hurts my feelings. People tell me I'm going crazy and stuff and like, ugh..

But yes, the most annoying thing would have to be the voice that I keep hearing! It tells me to do things and most of the time I don't but I did listen to it once and light a fire in the woods, but then I got scared and quickly turned it out. Maybe I have a split-personality or something? Should I telll my parents about this?

P.S: I'm a 14-year old male.

Answer 1

Tell your parents and your doctor and anyone else who will listen to you and cares about you.

Answer 2

You need to realize that what you are feeling is something that is real. In our society only people who have experienced these situations themselves or who have had a direct family member experience them will understand. I am a schizophrenic, but I have gotten help. We are VERY VERY lucky these days that it can be treated.
I do feel for you . I actually had severe clinical depression as a teen, but my mother insisted that it was just something I should be able to get over. That was the worst thing she could have done, and she did it. In my early 20's I knew since I no support system I was totally on my own when I started having severe episodes. I learned to hide it, but it totally interfered with my life. I went through a period when it all went away miraculously, but didn't have even 1 hour of real , I'll call it, "Identifying support". That is, there was not even 1 person or place that I could turn to where that person or place would be able to take me by the hand and say, "Paul it's okay. We are here now and you can trust us. Let's do this to deal with your problem, or that" I had no clue. So I turned to street drugs. They actually worked, but only to block the pain. Oh' they even stopped the voices and thoughts for a while, but in the end when the quit working for me, not ONLY did I have a non supportive family when it came to my mental health, NOW I had a family who only saw me as a drug addict. In fact they went so far as to say it was the drugs that caused me to hear voices and have grand unachievable goals.
In hindsight I don't know what else I would have done based on what I knew then, but what I know now is this. I can tell you what to do first. Equip YOURSELF. Get a few books from the library and learn how to communicate the symptoms to your school councilor first- he/she is an unbiased party who will put a reality on the 'unrealistic, but VERY real mental problems you are having.
One more thing, IF you have what I believe and so many others out here who are caring about you, and seeing you as being very brave to come out and say, you will also have many other symptoms which might fall under different catagories like, A.D.D., Bi-polar, obsessive compulsiveness, neurosis, BUT here's the big fact YOU are YOU, and with the right help, and your own strength and your families love you will be a STRONGER person in the end. I know I am. I've been off drugs for 5 years and I love my life now. Counciling is important, in fact it's just as important as the medicine.
You are a strong kid I know it. You did the right thing by asking this all important question. I'll pray for you and you hang in there. It wouldn't happen to a person who couldn't handle it. True that!

Since you're kinda young...you may be just going through a phase. Ask yourself how long this has been going on. You may want to consider waiting it out to see if things like this keep going. If that's the case you definitely have to find something to do with your free time or get special help. I wouldn't suggest the latter since the conditions I hear are pretty horrible...but umm what I would do is stay away from quiet places. Quiet places can easily cause your brain to lose focus and wander into random thoughts that may create "sounds" for you to hear. It happens to me...it's definitely never a voice in my case..but I do get the occasional ringing and random tiny blips that can never really be explained.

Aldoria,
It is very important that you let your parents know! I worked with many people male and female who had many kinds of mental health issues. But all of them were manageable with medication. The voices will stop. All of them were very productive people. Now is the time to get help! Please tell your parents, or maybe a counselor at school.

Answer 5

Yes...you should tell your parents. For all you know, they might be hearing and seeing the same things. (reminds me of that tv show " A Haunting"). Never do anything bad even if you think the voice is from God...because God wouldn't tell you to do anything bad. Remember that. Try to ignore it. The more attention you give to it...the more attention it might give you. Just tell your parents and let them decide what to do. If you go to a dr. and they give you medicine that makes it not happen...then it probably was just in your head. TELL YOUR PARENTS...and tell them you are serious about this and that you need help.If I were you...I'd keep this in the family...don't be telling everybody...you might scare them away. Just keep it between ya'll and the dr.

Answer 6

Please tell your parents. It is not likely a disorder like split-personality or anything. My son went through the same thing, only he was 10. It is likely a response to stress. You should see a counselor or therapist that can help you find out where this is coming from. When my son told me, I took him to his pediatrician who recommended someone for him to talk to. After a few months, he was feeling better. If your not comfortable talking to your parents, talk to a doctor during a routine physical or office visit for another problem, but please tell someone.

Answer 7

There is a good chance you my have that, but honestly you are young 14 im 14 lol and you say your going though a rough time in your life it could just be your " imagination ", and all from depression or stuff you know?

Answer 8

you could desire to have a communique with him. manage it so he won't be able to purely depart and contact his or your mum and dad, like for the duration of a automobile holiday. tell him the form you experience, and remind him that searching for justification for all of his movements from exterior sources purely pinpoints how insecure he's. once you have this convo with him attempt to not sentence or factor palms of blame, try fairly to compromise. truthfully there are some behaviors which you exhibit that in basic terms do not mesh together with his. He too would maximum probable desire to get those issues out interior the open. there is not something like a astounding long communicate, some genuine communique to clean the air. in basic terms keep in mind it takes 2 to tango, yet purely one to truly bust a circulate!

Answer 9

You should tell your parents. Few ppl are gifted like yours, just learn to have control over the voices or whatever kind. Develop the way how you can control them, try to see a paranormal expert in your place if there's any

Answer 10

You should definitely talk to your parents about this. If you don't feel comfortable talk to you counselor at school. This could be taken care of with some help.
