Negative symptoms, thought broadcasting, and paranoia. These are much easier to handle when I am on med’s.

If I can better identify the better or closer I get.

Common categories:

• Positive symptoms: Hearing voices, suspiciousness, feeling as though they are under constant surveillance, delusions, or making up words without a meaning (neologisms).

• Negative (or deficit) symptoms: Social withdrawal, difficulty in expressing emotions (in extreme cases called a flat affect), difficulty in taking care of themselves, inability to feel pleasure. These symptoms cause severe impairment and are often mistaken for laziness.

• Cognitive symptoms: Difficulties attending to and processing of information, understanding the environment, and remembering simple tasks.

• Affective (or mood) symptoms: Most notably depression, accounting for a very high rate of attempted suicide in people suffering from schizophrenia. Anxiety can also be present and may be a direct result of the psychosis or come and go during a psychotic episode.

At this moment i am having Positive symptoms, hearing voices again. Nightmares and fears. Uggh

Mild unformed voices, traces of delusions, post processing the psychotic experience in a “what if” sort of way. It was still the most interesting thing that happened to me, as horrific as it was.

today: feeling better than last week. cooling off a bit and able to sleep better. woke up feeling happy that could be a sign of mania, not sure. I have no one to push me forward, so I’m trying to motivate myself and not get shut down about my ideas. I want to be a business leader, but so many people are low motivated to achieve more than a regular day job. I’m not into proving myself as an accessory to someone else’s idea, unless it’ll advance my progress. I’m tired of living in a town divided between rich and poor, and everyone in it for themselves, but never going anywhere. So I guess my main symptom is frustration.

Hey me too. I have a business opportunity that you can take a look at. It fits your criteria. Let me know okay. Thanks

Auditory and often visual hallucinations, delusions of persecution and reference, false memories, shitty short term memory, OCD, anxiety, GERD, tremors, insomnia, agitation, uh wait that’s enough.

Caring what people do and say? Does that count as pathological?

Chronic slipknot and Eminem addict. Also a smart ass. That’s a legitimate DSM disorder. Talking to myself for hours, then I start to talk to people I think are bugging my room.

ICD-10 code 295.32.mouse
“Chronic paranoid schizophrenic who can kick your ass and must be treated unethically, body is registered as a lethal weapon.”

Napoleonic complex, Oedipus complex, Electra complex, DayQuil, NyQuil, ect.

Chronic schizophrenia addict. Patient is addicted to schizophrenia. Patient is primarily obsessed with schizophrenia, psychology, emo girls (whoops) gays (uh oh), lifting weights, redheads, Shiba Inus, the color black and converse sneakers, oh ■■■■

Patient also thinks he is a character from a Tim Burton film- “Jack Skellington” from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Ironically, patient has chronic nightmares which he confuses with memories.

Today I woke up annoyed as usual to have to face another day of this head. I drank my morning coffee, which is not good(my head gets loud) but I need it to even get out of bed. Then I get super paranoid about going to the gym because I feel like my head is a radio. Anyway I did my cardio and blasted my jams and went in my own little world, but when I was done and took my head phones off the madness begins…so I pop my AP and a klonopin and wait for my brain to calm down. I’m trying to take as little haldol as possible because I’m pretty sure it’s toxic for my body. I hate dirty meds.

Something I battle daily: feelings of worthlessness. Mostly in regards to my opinion being worthless not my life right now, luckily.

Take Haldol at night…every night. Sounds like you need it.

As for klonopin…you wanna sell me some?

Here I am caught up in deep thought again
Swallowing a klonopin
Nodding in and out on the ottoman

I take haldol as soon as I’m done working out. Otherwise I feel too apathetic. My klonopin keeps me from going to the liquor store. I also take Ativan for instant attacks.

Fair enough. I respect your advice and it may help with that particular symptom but it isn’t so severe and I am not heavily experiencing symptoms that come with schizophrenia occasionally no matter what a person does. It seems to come with the package. Luckily the current forms of medicine are meant to treat the symptoms and their severity. Besides though I deal with that symptom daily, I don’t let it get to me nor stay too long in my head when I remind myself I know a few people who value me and consider what I may say.
