Do I have Schizophrenia or OCD? What's Wrong With Me?

[confused]

just to see if i can post

[keep it real]

GO PLACIDLY AMIDST THE NOISE AND HASTE, & REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE. AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT surrender be on good terms with all persons. speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.## Avoid loud and agressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others , you may become vain & bitter; for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your acheivements aswell as your plans.## Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possesion in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.## Be yourself. Especially do not *feign (fake) affection. Neither be *cynical (like or characteristic of a cynic; distrusting or **disparaging((to bring reproach or discredit upon; lower the estimation of: Your behavior will disparage the whole family.)) about love; for in the face of all aridity it is perennial as the grass.## Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to sheild you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and lonliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself.## You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & the stars; you have the right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is sunfolding as it should.## Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labours & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.## With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.####

Do whatever makes you happy, even if everyone talks crap about you. If nobody talked crap about you and you werent happy that would be stupid.

The universe is unfolding as it should keep that in mind BUT ONLY if you follow what that writing says.

THe universe will unfold WRONG if you do stuff like :

not get enough sleep
eat wrong/ excersise
The 5 things you need to be smart
1 nutrition
2 excersise
3 challenge
4 newness/ surprise
5 love - you dont love someone if you dont force them to do something they need to.

Hi I have OCD and I hear my self thinking alot. It's the same thing over and over again. I have had it my whole life but recently since my younger son has passed away back in 2006. I get these thoughts that say I have to hurt my kids to save them. I was told I have classic OCD. I get very bad anxiety. I found out thinking I had Schizophrenia that they don't repeat things over and over again. They also don't try to stop there thoughts and also they don't get really had anxiety or panic attacks. OCD people get all these. Schizophrenia and OCD are alot alike but very different.

It's me again from last year.
I'm doing better but I still get periods
of harsh paranoia. Also I think We should
always try to be happy and when we have insults in our head or paranoia say "stop!" and then "be happy" to drown out the bad thoughts. This helps
a lot so do this and that can help you or me feel much better.

I think the world as we know it is inside a computer, i thought this before the matrix movie and i don't think it's anything nearly as magical ... I just seem to think that there are natural universes and some develop life inside computers since that life would be more numerous that we are more likely to be inside a computer.Also I don't think that humans in a natural universe have dreams or hallucinations... I know this is hard to swallow :) but hear me out.... It would take a specifics gpu processor to process visuals while sleep... god.. no one will ever believe me.. There is a link that I would like to give you... http://www.simulation-argument.com/simulation...

I myself am a software engineering technician and we now know that is is possible to create live in computers and simulate a time-line in a shorter period of time than the time occurs in the computer... if this is in anyway interesting to you contact me on AIM at darksilverfluid.... this is probably a dangerous thing to believe and I think it's just a matter of personal choice to believe it or not... but i think of schizo effective disorder and schizophrenia is a form of experiment or punishment done by the programs operating government.. also i believe that they are possibly sadly anti American in some ways... explaining why even youth are picked on with these schizophrenias

I have been seeing a psychiatrist for 6 months at least...So I have improved.
But I sometimes get bad relapses where I get really paranoid about people.
I've resolved to attempt to be a peaceful person. I'll try hard to be peaceful. I'll try my best and when I'm paranoid I'll pray to God to help me.

hey joe sounds to me like you are a little schizophrenic although some of the things you talk about could lead to ocd....i have suffered from ocd for seven years and i still do although its gotten much better, ive never told anyone about it i have conquered it on my own, i feel your pain ocd is a living hell, although schizophrenia is probably worse or just as bad...but i just want you to know that u can over come it, this world is full of evil but there is also good, block yourself out from the evil and stop the way u think, revolve your life around YOU and do not let other humans and thier evil ways make u suffer, grab hold of a bible....

I have a form ocd that has to deal with relationships...rocd. It screws with my head like all of these other things I'm reading on here. I just want to say that you guys are so strong to be going through all of this, and I just want to say that I am genuinely very proud of each of you for the fact that your here trying to get help..even if I do not know you. My mother had psychotic issues when she was younger: hallucinations, loud noises in her head like a train, dissosciation from her body, ocd. I feel like I have only experienced the tip of the iceberg compared to some of you on here. God bless you Joe, Cassie and Will and whoever else I have not read about. Get help, my mom went through these things throughout her childhood and finally got help and now she lives a normal life. I have strong beliefs that your problems will go with work and time.
