I had classic symptoms of bipolar disorder before the paranoia and psychosis came creeping in.

It was over 45 years ago,so my memory is a bit patchy. Waking early but not wanting to get out of bed. Skipping meals . Those are the ones that stand out most.

I’m not sure how to draw the distinction either. I used to cry multiple times a day almost everyday. However, I could concentrate on my very intellectually difficult job and get things done.
I just figured out that what was happening was schizophrenia a week or so ago. I’m wrestling with it all in the moment.

My first diagnosis was adjustment disorder with depressed mood and I was only prescribed Zoloft but I was psychotic the whole time. It all started together but it took a while to get a psychotic diagnosis and start APs. I had no depression before I got psychotic for the first time. I was quite normal.
I only know that looking back now. Had no clue at the time.
