    Hello,

     

    Your were wise to write a SharePost here.  From what you've said, it appears you have the insight that something is happening to you that is remiss.

     

    About 22, in the early 20s, is often when the first symptoms and signs of schizophrenia appear.  You seem to be hearing voices.  The quicker you get help, the better the outcome.

     

    Get help now to put your mind at ease. 

     

    You have admitted the voices tell you to stab yourself.

     

    If you can't get someone to drive you to a doctor, go to the psych Emergency Room of the local hospital.  They may admit you to the inpatient unit, it may or may  not be a long stay, but you will be placed on medication that will hopefully work on the first try.

     

    Also, if you go to the hospital and tell them what your experiences have been, the staff will draw blood work to rule out any other medical condition before making the diagnosis of schizophrenia.

     

    Please, put your mind at ease.  Let us know how it's going if you'd like to write another SharePost.  This is a community of support and encouragement for people to get better and live well even with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

     

    Best,

    Chri
