I am 17, so it’s still very early for me, but I’m afraid that I’m experiencing early warning signs of psychosis or schizophrenia
I’m wondering if any of you can relate to this, or if you think it’s probably not anything to worry about.
I always fear the house is burning, I smell smoke, and I can’t sleep because I’m so afraid. I check all the appliances and heaters, and theres never anything there, and my family looks at me like I’m crazy.
I have heard small things occasionally, usually more frequently when I’m stressed out. The first time I can remember it was when I was 14. It’s often someone calling my name, or family/friends talking when there aren’t in the house with me. It’s never more than a sentence, and usually less than that. Sometimes it sounds like its in a room adjacent to me.
I have believed secretly since I was 14 that a family member of mine is inhabited by an evil demon/alien. I always kept it to myself, and two weeks ago I finally told my therapist about it after four years.
I am terrified of the inside of my house, I’ve had two panic attacks because I was alone, in two different house I’ve lived in. I think there are demons/monsters in certain rooms that wait for me to pass by. I have trouble sleeping sometimes because I think they are watching me.
I see my psychologist tomorrow, and I don;t know what to say to him, because I know he wont really believe me.
