Schizotypal Forum

Hi, I'm Niki.. I'm 22 years old.

I am diagnosed with schyzotypal disroder.
I'm on meds cos hallucinations + paranoia + delusions make for an extremely stressy life
I'm completely bonkers, dark and morbid sence of humor usually get told off for lolol
Was told it be good to come here and share my expiriences and my mind with others, I'm anything but boring thats for damn sure, I never have been.

Why is this disorder so rare? I'm almost 23 now and finely getting help for this! Frustrating

I'm 20, so we aren't too far apart. I was diagnosed at 19 and i'm am paranoid as any other schizotypal and have a sense of humor that helped get me in some deep trouble in my life. In short, you are far from alone here and feel free to post around because this place is pretty cool. I would love to learn about your experiences because everyone who comes here has a different story with some similarities between them and it can be comforting to have people to relate to.

Hi Nightmare,

Welcome to the forum

hi..

i was diagnosed when i was 5 years old at first... but then my mom wasn't happy so she made the doctor give me a new diagnosis, which was asperger's syndrome... i got cleared of having asperger's n have now been diagnosed with schizotyple again, but i been told i might not recover from it, since i can't let go of my fantasy, my dream world, but it is also the cause of my anxiety too.. i get extreme anxiety and paranoia over daydreams i have n think its happening in real life... but ive seen beautiful things that are supposed to be me hallucinating... like huge orbs of coloured bright lights floating around like u would think of fairys... and me not feeling human but in another world im a mystical creature, like if i died id become that thing and go off to my world. then there is the horrible images, voices, nightmares, and feelings of something demonic following me and i see people who look like ghosts... if i get too stressed out n upset i go catatonic for a while, totaly blank out everything till i cant hear, see or feel anyone around me while im off in my fantasy land that i kinda wish i wasn't half in and half out of.

one thing i always wonderd about is, at night when the lights are off, right under my eyes glows bright warm light n if i put my hands closer to my face it seems to get more glowing... it feels like my eyes are glowing white. anyone else get that?
