Yea, functional is nice 
Idk I wasn’t really looking for answers but one day I came across this term and I was like omg there is a name for what I have!
But it’s true, no doctor has ever diagnosed me I could easily be off the mark, or mine is not a severe enough version or something.
I know i have mixed episodes of psychosis and dpdr quite often.
That sucks man, I’m sorry to hear that.
I hope you have coping mechanisms.
the whole diagnosing thing can be kind of a work in progress, cuz if your symptom profile changes then they can change what they originally diagnosed you with.
its like science, working towards a more accurate and true solution
My coping isnt good. I guess its amazing in some ways that im able to live alone and still care for my essentials, but part of me is sane i suppose.
Maybe what I have is just anxiety. I guess that simplifies it 
I will ask them out of curiosity about depersonalisation anyways.
Anxiety can cause many symptoms. but psychosis is definitely separate from that.
It’s great that we have this forum isn’t it. I think it kind of helps us all cope a bit.
Just cos we see that we are not alone in this mental health condition and this side effects.
Yeah, im sure its helped me a great deal. Maybe more than ive realized. Its nice to feel in common with others and have friends.
Still making me laugh, Monte. I needed that. 
LOL 
Awwww. And I needed a hug, so thank you.
Here’s one more, Monte…
I am afraid of my psychotic self because I was violent with knives and injured someone with a knife.
I’m afraid of my past psychotic self. I effing tried to kill myself. That’s effing tragic.
Fortunately, the voices told me to stop taking more pills before it was too late.
