It was fascinating because sz
had all the typical symptoms
we all know about madness.
Now it’s not fascinating at all.

You know i lied to my doc once, i still remember, but i just said what he wanted to hear.
He asked me who did you think i am when i first visited him,
I said a high rank military officer, but infact i thought he was the bishop of my place to get rid of the devil out of me.

I read a book called “The Betrayal of the Body” by Alexander Lowen, which was first published in 1967.
He talks about schizophrenia in it.
I was shortly afterwards misdiagnosed with depression. This was 30 years ago.

I knew about it. When I was 18 I read Mark Vonneguts book about his experience with getting schizophrenia. Also, a young friend of the family had become schizophrenic in his twenties. I didn’t know a lot about it though.

I was 19 when I was diagnosed. I knew sz meant really carazy and your life is messed up for the rest of your life. I didn’t know the actual symptoms of sz. I had it since I was 16.

Yeah knew about sz from my second cousin. Total loser and junkie that topped himself 25 years ago. No one bothered to goto his funeral. He had a paupers council service. He ripped off his mother for thousands, and sold the house illegally from under her.

I’d heard of it before and believed I didn’t have a good diagnosis.

Yea, learned about it from an Italian tv series called La Piovra (the Octopus), wherein an important mobster’s daughter suffered with it.
Then asked mom if she could tell me more, she said well, some unfortunate people get it and if by age 30 it hasn’t found you yet, you’re in the clear.
I got it at 30

I thought I was developing multiple personalities. I’d heard of it but knew nothing about it. Came to the old website and was soon educated. Knowledge is power even for having a mental illness so learning is good.
