Is this schizophrenia?? PLEASE HELP ME?

I've always had anxiety and depression. but these past couple of years have been so confusing. I'm a christian and i believe in demons and I've seen them, I've felt them holding on to me and breathing in my face. but idk if thats even real. i don't know whats realistic anymore. everyone i talk to tells me different things and idk who to believe. my mom sounds like she tries to help me and tries to tell me how crazy other people are then the other persons side of the story is different. idk who to believe. its the same between her and my dad. i don't have much of friends. i have my boyfriend and one other person who cares about me. but i feel like people don't like me because of how i act, I'm awkward in public. i feel like my mom is trying to make me believe her so she has someone on her side. I DON'T KNOW WHATS REAL. I'm so confused with everything and i feel terrible everyday, tired, worn out, sick, depressed, confused, my memory has been terrible, i have nightmares every night... I'm a mess and i just wanna know whats wrong with me

    As a Christian myself, my best advice to you is to go and talk to someone in your church. As in, a pastor, etc... Exorcism is primarily a Catholic belief, so if you are Catholic, TALK TO YOUR PRIEST!!! But if you aren't Catholic but go to church, talk to your pastor or reverend and tell him what is going on. Bottom line, you need the help of a fellow believer... Someone who can guide in the right direction.

    However, if you don't really believe in exorcism, God, Satan or whatever, then you absolutely need to get some psychological help.

    Schizophrenia is a personality disorder characterized by audio or visual hallucinations (or the hearing of voices).

    It's fairly common with roughly one in 10 having experienced it at some point in their lives.

    It's onset is usually coincidental with adolescence or a stressfull event.

    Sounds like you're having a tough time of it.

    What your experiencing may be the onset of something more serious, or it might be you growing up and trying to work out what is 'right', right for you and right for other people. You are right to seek answers for it.

    However, I don't think Yahoo answers is the place to find them.

    The only advice I could give you here....

    Take more regular exercise.

    Take things at face value. More confidence in what YOU believe about situations.

    If you're going to work out how the world works, you're going to have to do it slowly.

    Attempt to make some space for 'downtime', where you can think about things clearly, form an objective view of things, be clear about things before you approach them again.

    Get more exercise.

    Oh, yeah, and Wear More Sunscreen.

    I don't think you have schizophrenia. Definately paranoia. Maybe time to see a doctor for some meds.
