To me its that we’ve experienced a drastically different reality than other people. Sure everyone on earth has their own version of reality, but certain things are just naturally accepted as truth by everyone. We’ve all experienced things that have told us that may not be the only truth and that’s something no one without a psychotic disorder would fully understand.

If I was an outsider to psychotic things, probably the tactile hallucinations.
sex with a ‘ghost’ would seem ‘interesting’ to me.

I sometimes feel that I am not ill anymore. But then voices come back and drive me crazy and I kinda admit to myself that I am still psychotic.

It made me realise that nobody really cares.
Everybody else (normies) are struggling to keep their heads above water too and don’t have time for mental illness.
Even people who are paid to deal with you don’t really care and are looking for an easy life.

I’m really schizophrenic and I take meds. Sometimes, I doubt it.

I sometimes think there’s nothing wrong with me…
It feels like I faked it all

It’s funny; the ones taking meds usually don’t need it, and the ones who are not taking any meds probably need it.
A tricky question. There’s the thoughts I often entertain(I’m not ill just socially dysfunctional) and what I do (stay on meds because contrary to antipsychiatry propaganda they are not prescribed like handing out jelly beans to children).

I know I think I am not ill and that’s what I’m going to tell them next time I see my nurse practitioner.

There’s def something wrong with me. I don’t know if the term schizophrenia actually describes it well enough for me. I feel like once I figure out the source of it I can do something about it. But the meds do help regardless.

I am not sick. the rest of the world is ill. I’m not doing anything wrong. hahaha

That’s a good way to look at it.
Yes, is better. Because how painful would it be that you have to admit that you have a progressive brain disease?
I could be wrong but maybe that’s what Terence McKenna would say? I thought I watched a video years ago about him talking about Shamans and stuff…

When somebody get psychotic and talk nonsence then some bystanders laugh…and they laugh out of love and joy. I have seen it.
Reading your post reminded me of the number of people who turn their back on me during my last episode. People I called friends, and I thought would be there for you. They showed their true colours.

I am ill with anxiety and delusions unfortunately I am quite aware of it. Juggled my medicine recently hoping this works.
