I am absolutely convinced this time I have sz.
The first time I had psychosis I spent years trying to convince the docs I had something else… When they finally agreed, I now am tryign to convince them otherwise… I really am struggling to trust the pros. I know the diagnosis does not matter much to most people, but to me its an obsessive thought.
I understand that it is important to know your diagnosis, because it keeps confusing you.
I’ve had 4 different diagnoses over the years but the majority opinion has been schizophrenia so I just go with that. But honestly I stopped caring about the label, I’m just glad the meds work.
I wouldn’t worry so much about the labels. They dont make too much difference. What matters is your health and wellness.
I used to be that way too. It’s a very obnoxious obsession tk have, everyone tells you it doesn’t matter but it feels like it does. Uncertainty is untollerable to some and mental health diagnoses are always uncertain because there’s no physical tests to prove the diagnosis is right. But I promise you at the end of the day the diagnosis is just there to get you on the right treatment, and lots of diagnoses have similar treatment plans. So as long as you focus on symptoms and not diagnosis you’ll get the right help.
