Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jonathon and I am newly diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia. It has taken a while to sink in, as I never even thought of it being a diagnoses for me, but after talking to the psychiatrist, it seems to be the correct diagnosis.
My disorder is heavy on the paranoia and light on the hallucinations; even though I have them. I also get confused sometimes and forgetful.
Anyway, I’m glad to be here and be able to talk to people who understand some of what I’m going through.

Welcome @Jonathon This forum has redeemed my views on the intelligence and meaningfulness of other sz folk. I think you’ll find many insightful and sensitive people here.
I write music and dark poetry and post it here in the witching hours and have found this is a nice place to post such in the creativity category. Again welcome bro
Don’t let your mind drift away to far. Try to be more apathetic towards your paranoia state. That is what works for me. You can put your state of mind wherever you want, keep that in mind. If you want to be happy, think you are happy. Works for me.
