Maybe We Should Change This Forum to: All Mental Health

Post on here if don’t have schizophrenia, never been diagnosed with schizophrenia, but have other ailments that keep you coming here.

They have a Dx’d Other forum now.

ok, you mean this site? Well, lately, I’ve been seeing bipolar on here, some kind of misdiagnosed calling it psychotic disorder, and lots of people who don’t reveal, are unsure, or just want to talk.

People on here don’t know who they’re talking to, and don’t care. the person you exchange with for weeks or months, might suddenly come out and say, I have OCD, that’s why I’m here.

I’d be in favor of that. One of the things I live about this site is its acceptance of others. I don’t want it to be exclusive.

yeah, gonna have to be. I bet you’d be surprised how many people here have never been diagnosed schizophrenic.

I just hope they don’t get offended when I call them "normies " to their face :grimacing:

I have psychotic depression.

Isn’t that like schizoaffective? You have a mood disorder and a psychotic illness…isn’t that the definition of schizoaffective? Correct me if I’m wrong :slight_smile:

I have no clue. I don’t pay much attention to the label. But I suppose you might be right.

what did they determine by the ‘psychotic’ part?

explain your symptoms.

Yeah sometimes I doubt I have bi polar…I’ve been depressed but never manic…and drinking a ■■■■ ton of coffee doesn’t count as manic to me… So I think I’m schizoaffective depressive type. But yeah not paying attention to labels is good.

Grandiose delusions… for example urging my therapist to call the president because I thought a dictionary was warning me of the Apocalypse… stuff like that.

Depersonalization - having no feeling of self whatsoever. Very nightmarish.

To reply to the original topic… yeah I mean if the site hosts feel like selling out and getting big $$, with this kind of software we’d get a lot of new people

Weird you never went full blown sz.

I did a little pot, no other drugs,
this illness was natural born.

I don’t know, some people have a permanent condition,
others, breakthrough behavior from lifestyle they can grow out of.

No ones said that to me… its interesting to hear that.

The nurses in May 2014 thought I was a lifelong goner.

All SZ who did pot are SZ because of pot

Just kidding :slight_smile:
