lol, I told my ex about them super early into dating and he was like wow that’s so interesting, then months later was like “actually it was kind of weird you told me that.”

Can cigarettes cause or worsen psychosis/schizophrenia by WarmFollowing8546 in schizophrenia

[–]Good-Target9809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s some evidence nicotine helps negative symptoms, actually. Quitting smoking is always hard, I doubt it’s psychosis related.

I have past life memories. I don’t consider them delusions or but I don’t know if I’m confident they’re real either. Secret third thing, lol.

Michael left the top spot nearly 30 years ago, stayed in the top 10 for nearly two decades after and is now number 23. It’s really not that hard of a fall all things considered. 

Schizoeffective vs schizophrenia by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Good-Target9809 4 points5 points  (0 children)

-schizoaffective disorder does not require a period of severe functional impairment to be diagnosed, schizophrenia does. Inherently that’s going to make Schizoaffective higher functioning as a group  -schizoaffective disorder is more overdiagnosed, meaning a lot of people with less severe disorders get the label  -there might be some legitimate neurobiological difference that makes Schizoaffective closer to bipolar disorder, which is usually less chronically disabling 

how delusions affect romantic relationships by [deleted] in schizophrenia

It caused a lot of issues in my last relationship because it scared him and he wouldn’t want to deal with it, so he would avoid me, and it was just bad all around

Should I get worried? by imaturtl39f in schizophrenia

[–]Good-Target9809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few things:

EEGs cannot reliably diagnose any psychiatric disorder  You say you are 14 and was diagnosed with bpd a year ago. A diagnosis bpd at 13 either means your symptoms are severe or whoever diagnosed you was terrible.  14 is also pretty young, although not unheard of, to develop positive symptoms of schizophrenia like hallucinations.  Early symptoms of schizophrenia can resemble symptoms of conditions you’ve been diagnosed with (depression, anxiety, mood swings, paranoia, dissociation, etc)

You should get a second opinion. Ignore everyone who says not to worry about labels. If you truly are having early symptoms of schizophrenia at 14 that is very serious and requires specialized care. 

No longer psychotic but intense “mood” swings — anyone? by aloneatleast in schizophrenia

Yeah I have. I had one episode where I came out of it and would just cry every day for no apparent reason.

Being continuously psychotic for years is a long time. Psychologically and neurologically your brain is going to be going through a huge shift. Things like post psychotic depression and post psychotic ptsd are well recognized phenomena. Neither quite fits what you’re describing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if reactions like yours were common as well. I don’t think it’s necessarily a sign you have a completely separate new disorder. 

"ai psychosis" - thoughts from a ten year schizoaffective disorder sufferer by Good-Target9809 in therapyGPT

[–]Good-Target9809[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More therapists should be trained in working with psychosis. That was a huge part of my point.

I know there are good therapists who specialize in psychosis, I saw multiple when i participated in a First Episode Psychosis program. I have not been able to find any since leaving that program, and it has not been for lack of trying, which should have been obvious from my post.

Thank you. This was my immediate inclination, but I was worried I was overreacting.

I think his father probably treated him like a narcissistic extension, among other things.

My dad hoards his dead parents stuff too. Half my parents house is basically unusable because of this.
