			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi i&#8217;m a 22 year old medical student. when i was 10 i first saw a lady in a veil at my school she was walkin across the playground and she suddenly vanished.</p>
<p>when i was 18 i saw a lady&#8217;s head all scarred up floating in front of me and growling like a wolf or dog, and next to me a veiled lady was standing. after a few seconds they dissapeared. a few nights later i kept thinkin that someone is tryin to wake me up and i kept feeling the sensation that someone is touching my shoulder.</p>
<p>when i was 20 i was in my bed, one night i could hear scratching at my door, i checked and it was nother. the next night i hear knocking at my door and i opened it and i again saw nothing. i went to wake my parents up and they said they ehard nothing and it was probibily a dream. but the thing is i didnt fall asleep. on the following night i a child crying. now this really scarred me. i thought my house was haunted and i refused to sleep in my room. i told my family about it and they told me i was probabily dreaming. i thougt i was bein rediculous so i went to sleep in my room the following night and i saw a little boy walk out of the cupboard mirror towards me and he stopped at the side of me and dissapeared. </p>
<p>last year during july it was about 12 noon, it was a warm surrny day and the sky was clear. i looked out of my window and i saw a 7foot &#8220;creature&#8221; slying across the sky, its was glistning gold, i could clearly see the wings flapping.</p>
<p>now i find myself like im not sure how to explain it, but basically im always imagining things i could be doing and i talk to the people in my imagination and i have noticed a few times that i am actually physically whispering whilst im interacting to these people in my imagination. n people have began to notice it aswell. </p>
<p>during the past 3 weeks i have felt so paranoid and anxious, but the difference is that i am aware that these feeling are unjustified and i have no reson to feel this way. </p>
<p>i dont know what i have, as a child i thought i was psychic btu now in med school i have realised i have a serious problem.</p>
<p>im to ashamed to speak to our teachers about it and i was wondering if there are any psychiatrists who may have a clue to whats wrong with me can help&#8230;or if anyone has had any similar experiances&#8230;</p>
<p>plz i would really appreciate it if u contacted me on dr_alle@live.co.uk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was staying at home alone while my friends were studying for college entrance exam. I squatted myself down on the couch with empty eyes. I wanted to turn on the radio, but I was afraid to do so. It would make me weak. The silence broke my heart.</p>
<p>I was shivering. I badly wanted anyone to come, but I was alone. Parents thought I was just stressed. However, I knew I was not all right. I couldn&#8217;t believe the existence of the world. I tried and tried to prove it, but I kept failing.</p>
<p>In the evening, parents came. I acted a nice daughter with a heart filled with disbelief. I couldn&#8217;t explain the way I felt to them, because I was doubting their existence.</p>
<p>It took me some three years to get it over. During the time I stalked two people on-line. I still hurts my heart. People would not understand me, but I just wanted to be saved by them.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel that I may be schizophrenic, but I 'm not sure]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I feel that I may be schizophrenic, but I &#8216;m not sure.</p>
<p>It feels like anytime I go to a party with my friends or anywhere by myself, everyone seems to be staring at me, or judging me when they do. </p>
<p>I have at sometimes felt that I know everything and that I have some sort of knowledge that no one else can seem to comprehend, but I know that isn&#8217;t the case. Even though I know I &#8216;m wrong, I can&#8217;t help to actually feel anything but that I &#8216;m right.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t feel emotions anymore. Its been forever since I&#8217;ve laughed or cried or felt anything but nothing. </p>
<p>My father always told me, &#8216;everyday 51% of America wakes up trying to figure how to screw the other 49&#8242;  This, he meant, over money of course. I &#8216;ve always known that my dad has had trust issues, and I &#8216;ve never had them until now. </p>
<p>I &#8216;ve had some bizarre situations happen to me in my life, not necessarily scarring, but ones where I could have chosen to make an asshole of myself and get what I felt that I wanted, or become the nice guy and have shit rain all over. A bit graphic but there&#8217;s no other way for me to put it.</p>
<p>I know that shit happens, but it seems that the shit that happens to me is the smelliest kind you could have to pick up.</p>
<p>But thats besides the point, because in these bizarre situations, I consider the alternative in that what I feel may not be the case. I might be feeling its so complicating, but it may be so simple. Maybe I &#8216;m jumping to conclusions, too quickly.</p>
<p>Finally, when some people talk to me, its hard for them to reach me. I can see it in there faces to when they try to talk to me sometimes. They try to get a reaction or conversation going, but they see it as the lights are on, but nobody&#8217;s home. I &#8216;ve been called stupid many times when I was younger, although I got into an excellent private school, and going to a great college. Teachers have always told me there&#8217;s so much potential in there, but I don&#8217;t want to try in fear of being judged.</p>
<p>I &#8216;ve always been nervous partially because of the fact that I feel like people are always talking behind my back.</p>
<p>I also have dreams of where everyone seems to be against me unless I say the right thing or be able to entertain them.</p>
<p>I feel like I &#8216;m a paranoid schizophrenic, especially because I have connected with many songs and movies about that problem, without even realizing that they were about schizophrenia. </p>
<p>However, I don&#8217;t want to see help about it, because I want to handle it on my own, not take pills to help me.</p>
<p>Just curious if anyone feels that this is a case of schizophrenia.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[But I swear my body would have shut down had i gone on with that little amount of circulation,  and I love my eye sight...thank you very much. The tightness and increase in blood preasure causes my limbs to feel locked up and my flexibility is strained and forced]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people call me Aftie.   This is what my family calls me.</p>
<p>Mostly what comes to mind right now are the misunderstandings and misJudgements I swim through,  and have at times nearly drowned in.</p>
<p>Some people come to the conclusion that Im mentally ill based on life choices,  an offensive lifestyle that is labelled inappropriate and wrong.</p>
<p>I became overwhelmed.  Delusions and hallucinations were obvious at the age of 17&#8230;but i tried all i could,   to push them away inside me and keep them to myself.</p>
<p>I did not know how to approach others about what was happening inside me&#8230;raised mormon and I felt i must be a nasty-wicked little thing, be doing something terribly wrong to be having this sort of waking nightmare. I was angry and fearful,  and at times i still get this way,  but i have memories and knowledge and experiences I may look to when I feel i can&#8217;t go on, or what&#8217;s the point.</p>
<p>Dancing&#8230;this is what i love most.  My eating habits intrigue most&#8230;whether people are curious or discusted is another thing.</p>
<p>I bring up dancing and food&#8230;.and meds&#8230;</p>
<p>Stretching and light yoga practice release tension and improve my mood and state of body incredibly&#8230;when walking in thrown in for good measure.</p>
<p>People say I have not given the meds enough time to do their magic.</p>
<p>But I swear my body would have shut down had i gone on with that little amount of circulation,  and I love my eye sight&#8230;thank you very much. The tightness and increase in blood preasure causes my limbs to feel locked up and my flexibility is strained and forced.</p>
<p>I love to dance and it is what sets me free and such a reason to love life and live&#8230;when the health of my physical body is hurting and compromised and set off on a drowsy spinning flop of heaviness and exhustion&#8230;when im not up to dancing or my body is unable to,  caused by meds i&#8217;m so curious to know if there are positive things from meds&#8230;how come ?</p>
<p>anyhow,  i feel scattered now.  And im taking seroquel and clopixol&#8230;.im close to giving them up&#8230;they are scary as any episode ive been through.</p>
<p>Please words of encouragement.</p>
<p>Aftie </p>
