I’ve lost my mind and going insane. I don’t know if it’s sz or just plain crazy here. It does all calm down sometimes or I focus on something productive, but then it just goes crazy. So much random nonsense going on. Like, a robot malfuctioning. I know I’m schizotypal personality disorder or maybe schizoid.

Do you have schizophrenia too? I do. I feel like I’m only diagnosed with schizophrenia because of the time period I’m in. Otherwise, it would be something else possibly.
I feel like I actually was a mad scientist!

I felt in 2015 or 2016 I was being politically diagnosed with sluggish schizophrenia. They did that in the Soviet union. I read that on wikipedia. The mental hospital I went to always ignored me and says I’m delusional.

My latest diagnosis is schizoaffective. I have odd religious ideations, scizotypal behaviors, and think people are plotting against me amongst other things. I’m sort of passive though, so some people probably think I’m normal or well behaved at least.

I wonder if I just have bipolar with psychosis or something…not sure. Dont know.
In my case I might say I’m a mad poet, despite my pitiful output. I think I have been dx’ed schizotypal too. Isn’t that where a person’s inner mental life means more to them than common, everyday discourse? If that’s the case, it is very good for a creative life to be schizotypal. You do have to stay in touch with the ordinary conventions, though. You don’t want to lose yourself in solitude. It can be a delicate balance.
What’s the difference between schizoid and schizoitypal personality disorder?
I had a delusion I had or have aspergers or maybe even schizotypal autism, a condition for geniuses. Only 1000 people on the planet have it and the worlds smartest people have it. It’s a delusion though. My IQ was originally 140 I think. The people that have it are like 180+. It makes me feel like a narcissist or something…
I think schizotypal aspergers/autism is a man made condition. It is only recognized in eastern Europe. I had a delusion I have aspergers or even gave it to myself to be smarter or had it cured…
I solved the riemann hypothesis in a past life using a time machine. I think it’s a causal loop/bootstrap type of thing.
I probably wasn’t the first. Ran a simulation too. Genetic engineering?
I think I have adhd but people doubt it or dont believe me…
Am I a fake?
shzizotypal avoid social because of fear of people, while schizoid feel no need to be with people is the main difference.

I’m fairly certain there is a lot of overlap between mental disorders. They just call it one thing or another if you seem to fit a certain mold at the time.

You’ve shed new light on the situation. I’m wondering about the 180 IQ figure, though. Any kind of creativity is very valuable, but I don’t think it is measured on intelligence tests. I’ve heard one theory of creativity that says that “remote associations” are the foundation of a lot of creativity. Einstein believed that imagination is more important than intelligence. There are problems with getting your emotional gratification apart from the rest of humanity. You always have to watch out for false flights of fancy that you put too much of an emotional stake in. You can also lose touch with ordinary manners and conventions, and become eccentric. Also, no matter how great your imagination is, it takes a lot of backbreaking work to produce anything of lasting intellectual value. Writing books is hard. It’s not something a person should do if they have better alternatives.

The 180 thing was just a number I picked. Can’t find a lot on it anymore. They just have above average IQ, I guess. Might shift the IQ curve right…

Today it’s schizophrenia, tomorrow bipolar.
When I was studying
I learnt about experiments on mice and calorie restriction aswell as on some other organisms and increased HEALTHspan aswell as lifespan so I decided to experiment on myself like a mad scientist and reduce calories I ended up with a bmi of about 13…really bad. I got addicted to calorie restriction
For example I found it hard to lift my head off my pillow in the morning so weak
You’re not fake, but a bit confused.
Where are you from?
America, born and raised. Why?

Oh OK, because you mentioned eastern Europe in your previous post.
Ya, it’s only recognized in like Russia and Finland. I don’t know. It’s part of a delusion I have. My great grandmother is from Finland but ethnically Swedish.
hi @BrianTex. I always have a racing mind, it doesn’t feel good as it’s accompanied by painful emotions. Supplements may be helping, I’ve just started trialling them.
I’m an adult survivor of child abuse so I did a lot of research about how child abuse effects brain development. It causes an overdeveloped alarm system and there is weak connection between left & right hemispheres. That makes sense to me as I’m very anxious & my intellect, although strong academically, is of no use to manage my emotions. I can change my thoughts fine & have loads of insight but it does nothing to relieve my painful emotions.
What’s your emotional life like?

I totally feel like this. Experimenting with different supplements to minimize the SZ symptoms and headache.
Once I figure out a winning formula I will definitely share it with people. Simplicity seems like key here though, not too many supplements or pills, just a few winning ones, like antipsychotics, a good multivitamin, and low oxygen reduction potential water. Maybe digestive aids too. And a diet tilted towards antioxidants.
I failed on the last one, eating junk food, and my brain state is suffering as a result.
