Is it schizophrenia?

Question

The problem is with my cellphone. I check my phone a lot of times a day. Sometimes I feel it vibrations, but when I check it it's nothing - no messages or calls.In the mornings sometimes I answer my alarm signals... I don't give my cellphone to other, becouse I'm afraid, what they can do to it, or even I will miss an important call. Once I heard an phone ringing, I picked it up and talked very interesting things. After some time I realised, that isn't my phone and I don't know that caller... Was an such incident happen to you? Should I make me worried about this?

I am not a doctor, but I've worked with clients who have had various mental illnesses, and this doesn't sound at all like schizophrenia-schizoohrenia usually has the hallmark signs of paranoia, frquently hearing voices that aren't there, and deep delusional and hallucogenic thoughts-it differs from bipolar disorder, although during a manic state, many of these symptoms are also present,they just go away when the manic episode ends, whereas in schizophrenis these symptoms are always present-but back to the point, you sound like you have a phobia about your phone, and you may be somewhat obsessive compulsive. If this preoccupation with your phone consumes a lot of your time, please see a psychiatrist who will be better able to diagnose your condition-you don't want the problem getting worse or starting to effect other aspects of your life-right now it's the phone, but you may start obsessing over other things, too. Best wishes to you
