Paranoid Student

I’ve been observing one of my peers behavior. He always looks behind him, he’s walked out of the class a few times, and he stutters a lot, better yet, he has a word salad. Could this be what I think it is???

It could well be. I have yet to encounter anyone else who seems SZ.

Yep, certainly could be. I hope the guy will be okay. It’s rough being a student with psychosis; I’ve done it, and it’s awfully difficult to focus in class and study when you’re at war with your own mind. As I’ve mentioned on here before, I was a med student at the time of my first psychotic break, though I stayed in my apt, missing class, for the worst of it. I was too paranoid to leave my apt, thought one of my classmates was sitting in his car in the parking lot across the street with a rifle in his lap, waiting for me to emerge. But yeah, really hope he will be okay.

I have met a couple people (not at school) who are very clearly mentally ill. One woman told me all about her experience living with a family of sasquatches and how they played catch using her little body and taught her how to fish with her hands. I was thinking: "wow, she is pretty far out there…"
then I remembered how completely f*ucking whacky my biazzaro delusion sounds.

They are out there. Often times they just don’t speak to us or sit near us so we never know.
