No don’t get me wrong I always said I was schizo but I didn’t know if I really believed it. But now I believe it.

Well, it’s a good thing, ain’t it? I mean, acceptance is the first step towards recovery as far as I know

Yeah I think it’s a good thing. But it just dawned on me I never believed it either, but now I believe it. Check out my Internal voices thread. I was reading my symptoms and remembering them, then I realized I really was sz/a

Do you have schizophrenia or are you schizophrenia or is that the same ?
Lol I’m schizoaffective. But I don’t understand how they determine one to be schizoaffective or schizophrenic… And no one should bother trying to explain it to me because I will never understand it lol.

I can’t remember the dsm5 thing but i think it’s mood and psychotic symptoms for some time with a two week period where it is just psychotic symptoms.

I’m sza for sure but often think maybe I’m not. Maybe I’m just a weird person and I’m blaming it on a disease.

My pdoc says I’m sz, but my counselor says sza. I haven’t accepted either diagnosis yet.

@Berru just wanted to let you know that you’re awesome.
I realized it 37 years ago. But I just put it out of my mind. Maybe I will start setting aside time to kind of dwell on it and the ramifications.

Hope it sticks for you… it’s better to be aware of the truth in so many ways then to let the delusions have ground at all.
