My sister has it but it crashed into me hard out of seemingly nowhere
No, I was bipolar from 15 and thought my diagnosis would stay the same for life. Then at 30 all the sz symptoms started, now I’m schizoaffective. It was my number one fear though, losing my mind. For 99.9% of people, their worst fears never come true. Mine did.

I had a lot of issues but always put them down to other things. Too quiet or shy with women. To smart. To dumb. Always plenty of excuses and reasons but wish I’d known about the symptoms and stuff earlier. Could have got me into treatment way earlier.
Oh well. No use crying over spilled milk!

I was always scared of going crazy.
I had hallucinations (both audio and visual) and some paranoia (thought my parents were poisoning me) even when I was seven years old.
Then I got depressed and anorexic in my teen years… then had psychosis.
I always knew something was brewing.
I never thought sz was really meant for me, I still don’t. Had OCD since childhood, but seemingly I’ve also suffered from schizotypal disorder during all these decades leading up to late onset sz. As a child I often entertained the idea that other people were monsters in disguise, and I tried to device methods to find them out, but I never thought there was something wrong with me. I still don’t.
I was so not thinking of this. Its a nightmare. I really am sad about this condition it’s just sucking out my life to an extent
I didn’t even know psychosis runs in the family history til after my onset had I known n be educated bout drugs I wud not have touched that nor alcohol
I can remember being asked when I was young about whether I thought it could happen to me or not. I did not think there really was any chance of it back then. Looking back I was a bit odd when I was young maybe, but I did not really stand out. 
This is the punishment of those who know too much,
