All in all, I think I'm schizophrenic, but I don't think all of my symptoms relate to it and I don't think antipsychotics are doing me much good (personally), but I am starting to understand the methods of treatment and gain more respect for psychiatry.I also have had some cool theories, some of them medical, some of them about theology.
First time I experienced psychosis I was thirteen.
Sometimes I question that statement that as long as you think you are going crazy or the simple fact that one has anxiety over it doesn’t me that the symptoms can’t stem from A prodrome for example.Welcome! My mind feels blank always and it kinda freaks me out.Yes I have that problem too. Because of all the stress my condition is causing me I am more and more trying to isolate myself or at least I now prefere beeing alone which I didn’t prior to all this. I was misanthropic, nihilistic, hopeless, unable to control my attention or thinking.
Don’t let it be anything to do with mental health.Check your hormones (my testosterone was very low and once I started supplementing, the fatigue improved drastically).Watch funny shows (binge them if you can).
There is a lot of information online about schizophrenia symptoms, but not a lot of stories leading up to psychosis. Neuroimaging studies have identified patterns of brain abnormalities in various stages of schizophrenia, but whether these abnormalities reflect primary factors associated with the causes of illness or secondary phenomena such as medications has been unclear. Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with being ultra high-risk of developing schizophrenia and also had a short psychotic episode.
I’m scared that I’m in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia as well, it fucking terrifies me so much. From age 22 to age 32 I went to college, graduated with honors, met my now fiance, built a business, and bought a house with her. They're scary, even terrifying but I know now what they are and what I can do to minimize them and that they eventually pass. Feel like I can’t make sense of shit anymore. I was either depressed, or so manic that I would stay up for days. I used to be so witty and funny, and now I it feels like I’m numb to everything I used to enjoy.. used to be social, now I dread hanging out just cause I’m always anxious 24/7 and I won’t have fun. i just ignored the dpdr and just started to remember that it doesn’t even matter if i am experiencing dpdr to just do what i want to do and not let it stop me. i completely lost my able self. It’s still possible to have pretty strong symptoms even hallucinations with depression and dpdr but the fact that you’re aware is a good sign.It's strange when a post hits you at the exact same time you're going through the exact same type of situation...I am having a really tough time putting my thoughts together but I will do my best. Mailboxes are people was anotherNew comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castWelcome! It was a rough adjustment and my parents got tired of how I was acting so they took me to a therapist.Therapist didn't help much, so they took me to a psychiatrist. But it's the way I obsess about them beyond any perceived usefulness that is disturbing.See, something like the weather being related to people's thoughts doesn't strike me as bizarre. Since schizophrenia is a significantly debilitating disorder, it is important to treat symptoms as soon as they appear.
Most concerning is the rambled and nonsensical thoughts I get mainly when I lie in bed and the these thought blocks. That's totally the kind of thing I would come up with...so, when do these thoughts become something you would classify as delusional?When I was very young (my schizophrenia started around age nine with paranoia and delusions and hallucinations. Couldn’t follow a game or show. Human brains are remarkable at recovering.Always have podcasts on and train your brain to focus on what they’re saying. In high risk individuals, or those who have a family history of schizophrenia, looking out for the prodromal stage is … I cam home after a year and a half of school, quit pot cold turkey, then started getting extremely angry. When I was 21 I was convinced I had schizophrenia, I mean there was some pretty damn good evidence to back up that theory. I just want my own self back. In a group situation im the one that is always quiet because I don’t know shit to say. Some things that sort of help me is saying, if I get schizophrenia, then I get schizophrenia, and I’ll deal with that, worrying isn’t gonna stop it from happening, there’s always that uncertainty that’s what anxiety latches to. Got sent to a hospital, where they diagnosed me with major depressive disorder.
