Anosognosia = lack of insight.

When I was in hospital once my psychiatrist asked me if I believed I had schizophrenia and I said no I didn’t. From that she was able to deduce I was still ill I guess.
I believe I have it now. And I did prior to going to hospital.

In a way you have a point. That doesn’t apply to everyone.
Even my brother recognizes that I have Anosognosia when I become unhinged.
I guess my case is extremely complicated because I believe in aliens, time travel, mind control, and simulation hypothesis and it’s 100% real. I believe I was experimented on/tortured and given schizophrenia. So mine wasn’t a natural case. I do have the genetics, I guess, because some people just don’t get schizophrenia going through what I went through. But I also believe schizophrenia is schizophrenia, whether natural or not. I guess the worst thing is knowing I’m in a time loop and I always get schizophrenia because I lack free will and I always make the same horrible mistakes I do because the memories come too late. I sometimes think even what I smoked around August 27th 2011 by itself wouldn’t have caused schizophrenia. It was trauma that caused it. Trauma caused by humans and possibly aliens.
So yes, I think because of this I suffer from a little bit of Anosognosia. But I have programmed thoughts that tell me to take my medication because I’m schizophrenic. I guess it helps. I also have programmed thoughts telling me to watch the news. I strongly believe if I didn’t take my medication, I would have OCD-like thoughts/Intrusive thoughts telling me I’m not real, nothing exists, it’s all an illusion, etc.
They say if you think everybody else is crazy then your the crazy. There is also the idea that when your crazy you don’t speak. How you do both these things at the same time??? I donno. I can relate somewhat to both.
Sometimes something I say, I think is normal, my therapist will say whoa that’s strange. So yeah
I think this one could be a little like the old medieval trial of witches. If you drowned you were innocent but if you didn’t you were guilty with all the consequences that went with it. Damned either way.
Really thing should be based more than on if you think you’re not crazy you must be crazy. Indeed it must be or the majority of people in society would be on CTOs!
Having said that I have had mental health workers, who are often not very bright at the best of times, pull the line of this thread title.
It must be very difficult to go through all this, with all the stress that those ideas must generate. Sometimes after a traumatic event it may help to talk about it with someone you trust or a psychologist. I believe that a psychotherapy (talking about our sufferings) can heal our brain/heart in many ways.
I hope things will improve for you!

Thank you. I have talked about it. It helps tremendously.
No. A lot of normies don’t think they are crazy and they truly are not crazy.
you know what’s funny?
i was just thinking about this.
sometimes i don’t believe i have schizoaffective.
i believe that i can just snap out of it and be okay.
but other times i look back and say, “wow, that was me?”
…
right now, i doubt that i am crazy. cause the voices tell me i’m overreacting. but that doesn’t make any sense?¿
