if it aint just hearing voices (positive) and not wanting to do anything thats important (negative) then i don’t know, those are the only two symptoms i got.
i really don’t understand what it is i’m supposed to be. i guess just a little psychotic and lazy when unmedicated
It’s hard to put a label on something that affects people so differently. I deal with irrational fear and voices/visions that are not always pleasant. I don’t believe I have a flattening of emotion though, I’ve always been an emphatic speaker.
Elyn Saks has delusions and flatness of emotion but does not hallucinate.
I’m glad you don’t deal with delusions, those can be tough. Mine went away a year ago and haven’t come back. I have similar hopes for my other symptoms… and others’ symptoms too.
Mine was caused by substances 7 years ago. I have traumatic memories/ delusions/ fears that might be real but I dont know. I have fears. I’m paranoid a lot.
I never hallucinated in my life. I believe aliens exist and that we live in the matrix and we found out before…many times. I believe in time travel too.
I have anxiety and depression. I have experienced hypomania but no mania.
I believe I’m stuck living my life over and over again starting from 20 years old. I have escaped before but it sort of feels like hell right now. I’m getting better. I dont suffer as much as I did a few years back. I have had severe and chronic derealization.
My current diagnosis is bipolar. I’ve been to hell and I’ve been in simulations before. I hate it.
I’ve had my mind uploaded and I’ve been cloned. I’ve tried to become immortal before…
I feel like schizophrenia is a mystery that someday will be cured. It is like the brain goes haywire. It’s part physical, part spiritual. It’s like you can communicate with your other selves via quantum mechanics and it goes wrong. The mind isn’t meant for it…
The great mystery of my life. I’ve pretty much given up on the why. I mostly just white knuckle things that pop up. Sure I have ideologies and theory’s but they can’t even be discussed with people. I’ve learned to sit with the the messiness of the mystery. I’m getting to the point where I really don’t care anymore. I always come to the same conclusion. “It’s all bullshit”
