My cousin is schizophrenic and he went over some of his symptoms with me the other day. Lol now i catch myself thinking about them all the time. I’ve never heard voices or hallucinated or anything like that, but for some reason i have a fear of developing it now. Anxiety isn’t helping either and i hated that he told me his symptoms! My thought process has changed since i started getting anxiety over it, and i have no idea why i keep asking myself certain things in my head. For example, he told me that when he gets around large crowds of people, he thinks everybody there is talking about him or staring at him. Then out of nowhere when i was with a big crowd after the encounter i randomly started thinking the same thoughts that he does when he’s around big crowds. I know these thoughts are delusional and everybody isn’t looking at me or staring at me etc., but why the f*** did i start getting those thoughts? Thanks for any help!!
