I know I did this thread in the past but I was curious to know what your symptoms are?
Mine are: anhedonia, avolition, racing thoughts, obsessive thoughts, restlessness, anxiety, depression, mood swings, visual and auditory hallucinations, delusions, paranoia. That is all I can think about at this moment.
Right now it’s cognitive impairment, racing thoughts and a lack of motivation. It all makes coping with stress very difficult.
Right now my voices are muted, but I’m still scared of thought broadcasting, so I keep my earbuds on and stay inside. Also have moderate negatives that stop me from working. Hard to say how much of it is schizophrenia and how much of it is just being lazy though.
I hope to put some time on my home business after lunch.
Mild Philosophical thoughts like questioning reality, obesity, and zero drive to complete tasks.
some negatives but mostly positives, racing thoughts, mostly auditory hallucinations, sometime visual hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia, and maybe some delusions.
before I was diagnosed sz. I just thought I had an anxiety disorder, which was holding me back. I was diagnosed sz. in the prodromal period prior to hallucinations at age 26, I started hallucinating at 27. at first I thought they did it to me(the hallucinations) when in the hospital. because I never hallucinated before my exposure to the doctors.
Psychiatrist said this:
27 year old male presented to the partial hospitalization for increasing psychosis and paranoia. Patient reported that he sees people and she shadows. Patient reported sleep is “, appetite is good and energy level has been average. He reported some anhedonia and level of ambition has been down. Denies any feeling of helplessness or hopelessness. Patient reported he quit taking his medication 6-7 months ago. Patient reported that” people are after him". Denies any thoughts of wanting to harm himself.
Also,
Patient reported that his symptoms and paranoia are due to somebody is influenced over him. Patient reported that he has been having some paranoia where people are looking at him and talking about him". Patient stated that there is nothing wrong with him". Discussed with patient other concern.
FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Schizoaffective bipolar type with psychosis. Generalized anxiety disorder.
I wonder how much is just paranoia due to Aspergers. But I’ve never seen people. That must be hard.
I was told 10% of aspies get schizophrenia.
You seem high functioning despite a lot of symptoms. You must be really smart.
Do you think it’s your personality or character that sets you apart? Like I’m afraid of failure and I have low confidence.
I have been diagnosed with asperger’s syndrome as a child. I have been told that I am smart. I don’t know if it is my personality or character.
Recently, I have had bizarre delusions, but I’m stable now. I’m more rational and I can identify and label irrational thoughts. I just reject them and try to ignore them. It was pretty bad for awhile. It feels good.
I sometimes think when I’m psychotic, I can see into my other lives/other dimensions. I think reality can be very strange. I don’t want to open that book. I’m much happier being stable.

Anhedonia, avolition, lethargy, apathy, auditory hallucinations, delusions, disorganized though and speech
Anxiety, depression, lack of feelings. I only get anxious when I have to deal with people. The depression is pretty bad; it won’t let me get even the most basic things done. The lack of emotions gets to me a lot as well. It’s bad.
My symptoms are similar, but I have no anxiety.
