Answers:

Schizophrenia is when you hear and see things that are not real. They are called auditory and visual hallucinations. Seeing scary images and not being able to get them out of your head is NOT schizophrenia.

Things like this happen, and it's common and normal (I believe so because I do this, as well).



I know how you feel. Sometimes thoughts race through my head and I don't know how to stop them. And while they are my thoughts, they feel like they are someone else's because I don't want to be thinking them. I would go to your doctor to talk about getting on something ot help subside the thoughts. I like lexapro, while it's costly, it cuts straight to the insane thoughts and helps you deal with things on a day to day basis. Best of luck.

it's normal not be able to control some thoughts, especially those that are fearful to us. Mine is driving, I can picture my whole family being AND dying in a car crash. I hate thinking about it but I do because I'm terrified of driving at high speeds with my little one. Of course, if it's something like your hearing another voice in your head and it's not yours, then I would say you may have schizophrenic tendencies.



A psych evaluation by a psychologist might provide some more meaningful answers. Remember, it's just an evaluation. It's up to you what you do, if anything, with the information.



You should go get yourself checked out problably. It wouldnt hurt
