Exactly what is schizophrenia?!


Question: Exactly what is schizophrenia.?
I am 29 now and I promise you when I was 26 I started hearing voices in my head. I used to look around the house trying to figure out where they were coming from. I checked my closet, under my bed and outside my window but I have yet to find anything. Then shortly after I started hearing voices I begin to worry that I was mentally ill and started having really bad panic attacks until one day I told my family to take me to the pscyhe ward.. But when I got there I relized that I am not as bad as these people. These people could barely communicate senseibly and here I was I had my bachelors degree and I have always been able to keep a job and I functioned well in society and didn't have a criminal record. But I was with people who I actually felt sorry for. Even the doctor told me that I was just going through a bad time in my life and went on to say that I am not bipolar but that I am just severly depressed. He said it would get better. Well it did get better and I have been taken off my medication since the doctor said it would be only temporary anyway.
But occasionally I still hear voices and I explained this to my doctor. The voices that I hear are relevant to time and place. For example I know that I am allergic to tomatos but each time I am about to eat something with tomatos a little voice will say "you know what happened last time you a had a tomato." Maybe it doesn't seem bad but it sounds like a person could standing besides me. Sometimes I feel like something is touching my hair and skin when nothing is really there. The main focus now is trying to figure out how to tell my doctor with them trying to put me back into the psyche ward. What happened to me.? My mom says I just had a nervous breakdown. My dad says to not let stress build up he says that I should speak up anytime I and dissatified with something or someone.

Other than that my life is pretty much back to normal I have a job and I am planning on going back to grad school.

One thing I gain from this experience is patience. I am more tolerant with people who are more difficult to deal with. I love even those who feel have mistreated me. Overall, I am a better person but I don't to have go through all of this again.
