19 years old in 1980.

25, had some delusional OCD when I was a kid

Too young to legally drink, old enough to have my entire universe flipped upside down. That’s how it felt at the time anyways.

I forget I have SZ nowadays

I was 19 or 20. At first they said i had bipolar at 15, but that’s cuz i lied to them about hearing voices.

My first psychosis I was 16/17

They did not want to diagnose SZ then. The drugs were blamed

But it came back when I was about 25 and it was undeniable as I was not on drugs

It put me in a very dangerous position holding off on the diagnosis

Understand though why they’re hesitant with this label

If I remember correctly I was 19 when I was first hospitalized for acute psychosis. By 22 I think I had officially been diagnosed with schizophrenia paranoia. I remember feeling off around the age of 16. Something just slowly began to change in my demeanor.
