after denying it for the first few years I’ve come to the conclusion that not only am I schizophrenic but im more schizophrenic than you are. I mean im reading online about all this stupid ■■■■ like being withdrawn and anti social can be diagnosed as schizophrenia…ha what a load of bull. just because you don’t fit a social norm doesn’t make you a schizophrenic. but tripping out, listening to everybody voices in my head all day everyday is another thing entirely. welcome to my world of schizophrenia.

You’re probably more schizophrenic than me. Last I heard, part of my DX was considered “premature”.
But what do my psychiatrists know?
If I heard voices Id be finished. It’s difficult enough already.
It took me a few years to figure it out too. I think that’s normal. I believed my delusions and paranoia too much in the beginning.

Yeah I spent a few years believe I was some sort of god and all the voices were people’s spirits and that I was hearing peoples thoughts and they were hearing mine. Eventually drove me mad.

Don’t believe everything you hear. I learnt. Just tired they can pick me up at the light.
Hell, I don’t if you’re more schizophrenic than me or not but when it comes to insanity I could sure give you a run for your money for the title.

being withdrawn and anti social are just negatives symptoms…most people here are full blown sz’s…I have sz 17 yrs and it is a real bummer…but at the moment my most difficult pronounced symptoms are being withdrawn socially…my positive symptoms are a little bit under control at the moment thanks to meds

I don’t believe some of the stuff im reading has anything to do with sz. like emotional flatness, social withdraw, and agitation. it’s all normal to me…im not like some smiley face all the time…it’s total bs to me. gives to much authority to a pdoc to determine social norm.
if you’re hearing voices maybe that’s actually something…
I’m diagnosed sza and have been for the last 26 years. When I’m not medicated, I am severely depressed and actively suicidal with plans 24/7. Either that, or I am manic and talking non stop to anyone who will either listen or just be a sounding board. I also hallucinate in all five sensory spheres. I experience paranoia in the form of mindreading and telepathy, along with paranoid and grandiose delusions, and delusions of reference. My mood symptoms are not related to my psychotic symptoms.
