Sorry to hear that.

I just hope you start finding some answers.

Disagree with the psychiatrist = psychotic… Apparently.

I know I am profoundly mentally ill, but I sometimes wonder if I qualify as a schizophrenic because I have only known for sure that I had hallucinated once. It was three o’clock in the morning, and I heard the loudest, most unnerving Indian war cry. It was so loud that if it had been real people would have come running out of the dorm. There are a couple of times when I heard strange things that I don’t know if they were hallucinations or not. I have had a lot of delusions, and I do engage in a lot of magical thinking. I keep it to myself because I know that when I talk about it my med’s get increased. I’m also a loner with very poor social skills. I do have emotions, but they are rarely about anything real. I think of things that make me feel a certain way. I live inside my head, and I like it that way. Reality can’t compete.

I’ve come to finally understand I’m schizoaffective because of the voices and delusions and depression and mood swings I’ve had for so long. Also understand the voices better and realised there are two spirits in my head.

Me too. I can’t deal with reality very well! It makes me anxious, depressed and angry and paranoid. I love to escape with novels, music and movies :blush:

If your doctor says you’re schizophrenic, you’re schizophrenic.

Pretty simple.
