me I think?

Postby jana on Wed Oct 07, 2009 4:46 am

Hi everyone. I found this forum and thought maybe I could find out what's wrong with me. Ugh I hate saying that, and I really hate talking about myself, but the Internet wall of anonymity has my side... right?
Anyways...
I've always been a loner, always been called weird, always developed fantasies, I'm sure certain people can read my mind and I'm afraid of them, some times I think I can control others and some times I think I make it rain, I cannot read a book unless it is about science or involving escapism or some type of fantasy world, I have extreme social anxiety, but I also think everyone is in love with me, and I'm very good with people if it's a one time thing, because I study them and know exactly what they want to hear. I get strange urges to do things such as jumping onto things or cracking my neck, and I scratch my head all the time. I over analyze everything, and I don't understand why people do the things they do. I don't get along with any one, and when I make friends it's very temporary and I can never relate to them. I can't stand being so lonely any more, but I'm also scared, and I know there's no one I can turn to for help. I'm 22, I have a boyfriend who I frighten some times, but I have no idea why. I'm also very paranoid about him leaving me or developing plots to make me upset, even though we never fight. I love him so much and I want him to know, but I'm afraid of everything. I can't talk to him about this, or anyone for that matter, I don't think anyone will take me seriously or I'm scared they will think I want attention. I just don't want to be lonely any more and I want to feel like I'm a girl.
I took the SPD test and answered yes to most of the questions, but I'm scared I'm just saying yes to say yes, if that makes sense. Do I fit the SPD profile or do I need to do more research? I really hope I have found a community I can be a part of. Thanks for your help and for reading. :wub:

Hello!

When I did the SPD test I was unsure on many of the questions as well. I also fantasize, I usually spend most of my day daydreaming.

Hi jana,

based on what you wrote here, I think you have reason to believe that you have this disorder. But you can't really be sure until you see a professional about it. Other disorders can present themselves in a similar manner to schizotypal - the paranoia that you speak of is a component of various other disorders such as schizophrenia, paranoid PD, social anxiety, etc. Aspergers and schizotypal also share certain traits. So I think you should see a psychiatrist to get things straightened out - especially since it is putting a strain on your relationship.

You're most welcome to hang around here :)
