At a relatively young age I was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

To explain it simply it's basically a disorder that effects my ability to think, behave, and feel clearly.

Paranoia is a very common effect of this disorder, and something of which I suffer immensely. I am probably going to ask you something more than once, or twice, or even three times.

I also suffer from visual and auditory hallucinations: so don't flip your shit if I talk about them.

Memory gaps are something I face as well. So if you tell me something, the chances of me forgetting it are VERY high. Don't take as me not seeing importance in what you told me. Please. I promise I see everything you tell me as important. Memory loss is just part of my disorder.

Again, I'll probably cry for no reason. Or laugh for no reason. Just don't get freaked out.

Often times I will just withdraw from people. I will hole myself up in my room and not be able to talk to ANYONE. Don't take offense to this. Sometimes I just cannot talk to people.

Other constant issues that derive from my disorder are: inability to trust, confused thoughts, personality changes, lack of social awareness, retreating to my reality, and again, paranoia.

If you have any questions at all that I failed to cover, please ask.
