My psychologist told me that she didn’t think I have schizophrenia. I don’t know what she bases that on because I suffer from psychosis and take antipsychotics. All she told me was that I may have some sort of personality disorder that triggers psychosis. Do you guys know anything about such a disease?
Honestly most therapists don’t have a clue.
My therapist ignores my symptoms and likes to downplay my psychotic disorder.
I would listen to a qualified psychiatrist instead.

Tell them to get back to you when they’ve become a psychiatrist.

Your psychiatrist is pulling your leg. Taking these insanity medication.

Maybe it’s giving me a false sense of hope that I might get well.
What you need your wellbeing for ?
Working i think
Forget about your wellbeing. Learn to meditate under a tree and live on beans and water. Like in my country. You are lucky not to eat cabbagesoup everyday.

You still can live a happy life. Wait till grass grows over the graveyards. And your eyes will open like mine.

In US there is a personality disorder called “Schizotypal personality disorder” where you can have psychotic episodes
In Europe the same MI is considered a kind of mild schizophrenia and not considered a personality disorder - it’s called Schizotypi - and that’s my diagnose.

My old pdoc thought I had a personality disorder, my psychologist thought I had an anxiety disorder and kept pushing me to go to work… ended up psychotic again.

I dunno, my parents thought i am a 6 cylinder, but i am a 4 cylinder. My pistons don’t work properly. A Porsche cost so much more than a VW beetle.
