A movie released that year and it had my favourite actor in it. I watched it when i was deeply in psychosis and I identified with the character somewhat and was like hey that’s me. I have schiz too.

I saw girl interrupted and realized I had a mental illness, tried to get myself diagnosed but my therapist at the time said it would probably be borderline if anything. Well, guess what, not that.

I thought about how I wanted to tell my friend’s mom “told you so” after I got diagnosed in my early 20s who was supposed to be some masterful expert on mental illness or something who told me if I had schizophrenia “we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now” when I was sent to talk to her when I was 15 but whatever I don’t even know her son anymore and haven’t for years.

It’s funny, my symptoms and personality are a lot like how John Nash is played in A Beautiful Mind, so even before the doctors diagnosed me with a schiz spectrum disorder, other patients in the hospital were telling me, “I know what your problem is! You think too much like John Nash!” On the other hand, even having seen the movie during the first intense years of my psychosis, I never made the connection. To me, John Nash was sick, while I had let my brain get spiritually corrupted - two different things. Only after being on antipsychotics for a while did I notice the “coincidence” of how similar our stories were.

Just to clarify - I’m aware that John Nash is very unusual even among schizophrenics, and I don’t mean that I am a quarter as smart or impressive as him. Just that I’m an eccentric math nerd and heard myself getting interrogated by the FBI, kind of like him

When I took an abnormal psychology class at school they would be naming different symptoms for different disorders, and I would be thinking - check, I have that; check, I have that. I started to realize that I am a pretty sick person.
