I don't think I can help, but I would like to tell you of my personal "schizophrenic situation" which I still somewhat deal with.
But, unlike your condition. My "situation" & "symptoms" may differ from yours.
Before I give you my story I would like to know, via private PM or by using this thread (to possibly help others) certain factors that pertain to you.

1. Gender ? (Male/Female)
2. Age ?
3. At what age was the OCD professionally diagnosed?
4. At what age do you recall when you first started to have those symptoms?

**Note: I would like to know on how long did you wait or start to have these
different feelings before you were diagnosed ? Most people tend to
wait years or even admit to have a problem. <--- (sort of my situation)

5. Was your diagnosis seton by a "traumatic experience" or "drug abuse?"

#1 "...symtoms began than only bus violency startred in 19 years of age..??"
#2 "...symptoms were strated from my childhood age when i started knowing myself..??"
#3 "(Now, in 11th grade)...my symtoms rise a lot and me felt ill.."
#4 "...It was because death of my father.."

First of all let me say, "Hello again." Also, I'd like to apologize for this very late reply-
"I'm sorry for taking so long with a reply." (work,work, work...busy with the military). -ANYWAYS-

#1 Your wording has me confused-??
-I don't understand when you say, "(your)...symtoms began than only bus violency..." ?????

...Your 20 yrs.old now, right? But, you say that your symptoms manifested (more violent)
within the past few months (since you were 19yrs old) ???

...In any case, (*First) "I am NOT A DOCTOR", you have a Mood Disorder >??
Your emotional mood could be the main underlying reasons to your OCD.

Whether you are or are not violent or depressed. It sounds like a "Fixation".
You may be fixated on things that are irrelavant and does not need cont-
inued analyzing. I call this an onset of, -continued "Paralysis by Analysis".
Which could be the psychosis "OR" a(n) undiagnosed "Bipolar II Disorder".

Paralysis by Analysis
A form of psychosis, which impairs & hinders your sense of relevant reality
due to your continued emphasis and/or compulsion to dwell on things you
are not ready to let go. Which leads you a state of uneasiness and fear.
Along with a case of "Anxiety" (although; all of us suffers from it -in one
form or another). But, in your case. That feeling of apprehension and fear,
& anticipation of something that may or may not be relevant to reality.

...Not to mention, with the death of your father; a temporary case of PTSD
(Posttraumatic Stress Disorder), that only "Time" & "Understanding" will
solve. Any symptoms related to your fathers passing "IS NOT" a underlying
reason due to your history and diagnosis of psychosis & symptoms of OCD.

Unless your history is incorrect so therefore you may just have a PTSD.
Which I believe is treatable so therefore temporary. Your history is "KEY".

I don't know exactly what goes through your mind on a daily basis. OCD;
The anxiety your feeling may cause you to become fixated and thinking
about the new changes that "YOU" (as a individual) may not be ready for.

But, that's Life though... it keeps changing with time. Every single person
on this planet has a different story. But, with all stories that person faces
the "fork in the road" (as they say). Choosing "a path" is neither right nor
wrong; bad or good, positive or negative. It's a matter of taking a step.
...then another, then another. Your pace, your leisure, and your "Choice".

Because- Once we've taken that step ...We have changed and we are not
the same person as the day before. Nobody is the same person as the
day before. Everybody and everything changes because of time.

Time is always moving forward- Time is inescapable w/ time comes change.

SpicyTreat, my suggestion: "Never walk down the same path twice..."
"Never retrace your steps. (New Path)."

Whenever your walking to a destination; choose a path (whether: more/less deviating) or direction that will get you to the same destination. But, keep in mind to "Choose" a path/road/way that is different that you used yesterday or the day prior.

Because, once you "know" and "realize" that your going and doing something "different", those compulsive and repetitive symptoms that you suffer from may one day disappear. Always "CHOOSE" to deviate from the way you've always done it before. My Motto..."Been there...Done that"

SpicyTreat...

Regarding your history. Did you honestly "recall" symptoms or feelings:

When you were Age: 7yrs. old ??

When you were Age: 13yrs. old ??

When you were Age: 16yrs. old ??

Do you own/drive a car/truck ??

Do you work or go to schoool or other ??

* Exactly, How many people (relatives/friends) do you live with ??


-Hope these questions aren't too personal...just would like to know more
considering your history is key.

-thanks

OCD as a Disorder cannot be diagnose to 17 years old individual even if such behavioral characteristic is prevalent. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder has so many variation and you should likely to have a genetically lineage of such disorder to be diagnose.

Traumatic experience doesn't caused OCD nor Schizophrenia. Trauma can caused only PTSD or Mood Disorders and etc. depending if your unable to cope with such experience. On the other hand if your try to have CT Scan and try to determine your Brain production of Dopamine since this is the brain chemical that causes Schizophrenia. Both OCD and Schizophrenia are hereditary Mental diseases and proper diagnoses are necessary for specific alleviation of the disorder or discomfort caused by disorder.

...Traumatic experience doesn't caused OCD nor Schizophrenia.
Trauma can caused only PTSD or Mood Disorders and etc. depending if your unable to cope with such experience.

...Question? So your saying a person who suffers from a possible traumatic experience will NOT show any signs of schizophrenic behaviors or hallucinations (either auditory or visual) ?? So ?? Rather due to the trauma, your saying it's more likely a mood disorder ?? Hmmmm?

Some veterans of the vietnam era, went through a very traumatic experience in which some developed schizophrenic behavior after only a short time in country in which they started to "believe" they were seeing and hearing the enemy while on either long recon patrols or on guard. Also, when returning some began to show symptoms of PTSD "POST"="after" they return home in which some began to believe that the enemy insurgents (aka "charlie") was still on the prowl.

That's why I find it hard to believe that Trauma can't begin- At anytime to *play with a persons mind... either before, during or after a "onset".

I'm no Doc or Psychologist but from what I've experienced during my combat in the Persian Gulf and Iraq during and after my tours. I suffered from compulsively cleaning and sleeping with my weapon in the desert. To this day, I go to sleep at night with a knife in my hand. (HONESTLY). Every single night I hold on to it like it "may" save my life, even though in reality I know there isn't any insurgents "that I know of" in my neighborhood. This compulsion is the only way I can feel safe, and drift off to sleep.

:angry: :hahaha2: :angry: :confused: It's one of my nightly compulsions...

Let me just clarify this, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) cause a person to experience hallucination/flashbacks either through auditory or visual stimulus. PTSD may show symptoms similar to schizophrenia however, a person with PTSD is aware of his mental condition while schizophrenics can no longer identify the difference between reality and fantasy. On the other hand, most schizophrenics manifest "Flat Effect" which means that their ability to empathize/sympathize is no longer coherent and their affective ability degenerated. It should also be consider that these people even with the inability to express emotions they still can feel as other individuals thus but manifest it in a very unusual pattern.

On the other hand, patients with PTSD express their emotion like all other individually and the only impairment they have is their mental vacuum to their trauma and the stimulus that could triggered it.

Aside from this, when I said Mood disorder, I am referring to the nature of the trauma. It could be that the trauma cause a person to become depress or develop and anxiety problem.

I'm sorry about your situation.. NickD

In connection, I believe that these experience you have are brought about by the trauma you experience in the conflict. Though people may say that they got used to it but in reality being face in a life and death situation everyday is a traumatic experience. And once an individual withdraw from it due to early retirement, retirement or resignation a person will in most cases experience PTSD depending on their coping skill and ability of awareness.

In regards to these compulsions, it is only in your hands if you let your fear conquer you or you conquer your fear. It is a personal struggle of your inner demons whether you call it PTSD or Anxiety... it is you who knows yourself the most.

In the past, i occasionally felt abnormally nervous when i slept. It was like sth huge lying its weight on me and i felt nervous. I could not hear anything. It took only several seconds before it faded away. I still don't know what it was.
