I think I’m odd or at least I think other people think I’m odd. I think I give off signs by my mannerisms etc. If I could read people’s minds I’d probably hear them thinking “hey,look at that weirdo”

I read your post in that link, I definitely have suffered from all the delusions posted before and I still suffer from some.
Same here! People always look at me strangely and glare, smirk, or just outright stare.
As a result I don’t go out in public, much anymore.
Sometimes I think I’m “normal” and then I find myself in a situation I can’t handle. A couple of weeks ago my parents left me at their home to watch their dog, as they went to Florida to visit my brother. The stress of them leaving triggered me and I starting hallucinating again. Before that, I thought I was in good shape. I guess I’m mentally ill.
I didn’t use to believe and it ended up badly… now I do believe, I look after myself, take meds, know my limits… I can manage myself very well now, look for support if need to… when sb told me I have disability it made me angry and thought it’s not true. But when I started to think about it, yeah, it disables me from many things… but well, it’s not that bad. It’s not the best diagnose but you can live with it… take care girl, look after yourself…

Reading some of the things I have said on here makes me think I have word salad.
After reading about it, I am often paranoid about having it, too.

it seems strange sating this but in my time yrs ago in this hostel they pushed as long as i took the meds i was as normal as the next gut one psychiatrist said it’s the same as if you had the flu, i give you drugs to treat the flu i then say you haven’t got the flu
Dated nowadays as i have to prove illness for money to live on and when i tryed to work they had no doubt there were issues, also the ex cons in one area who had been housed under mental health grounds would say they werem’t ill as they weren’t on drugs for it, however the neighbour who complained to the papers about the housing of mentally illl people in the area was complaining about them
I know I have issues with depression and anxiety and whatnot. Secretly though I don’t really know if I believe I’m psychotic really. Deep down I feel I know which experiences of mine were and are true. However I allow myself to take medication on the off chance that I am crazy and it could make it all go away.
Most of the stuff I experience is not pleasant. That’s putting it nicely.
