    I see things.
    Hear things, hear voices, see things people don't.
    It's scary.
    I saw a person on a rooftop and said to my friend, "do you see that???"
    She just said "see what? there's nothing there!"

    Hi.
    How sure are you that you have Schizophrenia? All hallucinations doesn't mean that u suffer from Schizophrenzia. Schizophrenia usually develops gradually, although onset can be sudden. Friends and family often notice the first changes before the victim does. Among the signs are:

    • Confusion
    • Inability to make decisions
    • Hallucinations
    • Changes in eating or sleeping habits, energy level, or weight
    • Delusions
    • Nervousness
    • Strange statements or behavior
    • Withdrawal from friends, work, or school
    • Neglect of personal hygiene
    • Anger
    • Indifference to the opinions of others
    • A tendency to argue
    • A conviction that you are better than others, or that people are out to get you


    My best advice is to visit a doctor all by yourself first, and then get your folks involved. Normal people usually find it very difficult to believe what you are saying, and they might just tend to dismiss all what you say. So visit a doctor first, and then get your folks involved if the doctor agrees with you!
