And when I told early intervention this many years ago they told me that it’s the denial part of having sz.
But when I got mood swings they turned that to schizoaffective.
Sometimes patients know when something more is going on. I never denied the psychosis.
I do think I have mood swings , I feel that’s the best way to describe my symptoms than sz
Or maybe I faked the whole thing that crossed my mind too. Maybe I don’t have mood swings.
I don’t know what my health condition is either.
I accept psychosis. But I also claim it was all avoidable and also reversible.
So I ping pong between psychotic and non psychotic. Which is enough for me to say I do have a form of schizophrenia that is currently managed relatively well
Schizoaffective also describes it but I feel the moods get in the way more once the psychosis is under control.
I don’t really agree with my current psychiatrists diagnosis of me.
I think she just gave me bipolar disorder so I won’t be stigmatized as much.
I’m pretty certain of my old diagnosis of schizoaffective.
Most people with bipolar disorder function in society.
I am not fully functioning.
Yeah my last psychiatrist and therapist got it right.
So did the last psych hospitals assessment of me.
Schizoaffective is more accurate.
I think on the one hand schizoaffective fits but once the psychosis is under control it doesn’t really affect me like the moods do. So that’s why I feel the bipolar describes my symptoms more but doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t have schizophrenia I do feel in denial most days.
I think my old pdoc purposefully misdiagnosed me cuz people don’t think I can handle my real dx or it would put me/others in danger.
My partner feels I stigmatise myself before anyone else does
I know I suffer with bipolar symptoms from time to time.
But I think that I can become psychotic without experiencing significant mood symptoms.
This probably puts me in the schizoaffective camp.
Plus my paranoia is off the charts when fully psychotic.
I get the paranoia when anxious myself which could be a sign of schizoaffective too
Hmm.
Strange To Note Dear Readers, , ,
Paranoia Could Be A Mythical Treasure Found In The Wild Forests Of Commonsense.
Odd, Unusually Unusual i Admit. But!, There Could Be Some Sort Of Definitive Truth In That, , ,
