Hello, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia on November 2016. I'm a male in my early twenties. It started with the thought that my brother had drugged and raped me. Later, this turned out to be false. At the time I had bleeding hemorrhoids and I still have them, even though they don't bleed and are much less severe. Hemorrhoids can cause a lump-like feeling in the anus, and one night I woke up and had this feeling. That's when I had thought that my brother drugged and raped me, so I went upstairs and woke him up and then I asked him what he had done. He started pushing me and hitting the back of my head, I told him to stop twice, but he didn't. I then turned back and landed a couple of punches that almost knocked him out and then stopped, as I didn't want to hurt him badly. Then I went abroad to another country, where my mother lives(she has Bipolar disorder). I am now in good relations with my brother. We see each other almost daily on skype. And still, there are times when I'm not hearing anything, but all of a sudden I start hearing his voice again, when I'm at home.
I spent 110 days in a psychiatry. I'm taking a high dose antipsychotic(Quetiapine) - 1200mg daily. I've been on antipsychotics for more than six months and I visit a psychiatrist once a month. I can afford medication, as my health insurance covers it. I've tried some coping mechanisms, such as meditation and prayer, which I find helpful. I hear my brother's voice insulting me when I'm at home, even though we are in good relations and we live in 2 different countries
