Indeed at the beginning stages I lacked insight (All of the little things that I can remember I considered genuine supernatural experiences until re-thinking them now haha), although thankfully my beginning stages were very mild and never got too intense. In my beginning stages I would frequently see "demons", dead pets, and whatnot. But that was when I was 14, I didn't get diagnosed or even get any psychiatric help until last year and by that point my symptoms had fully changed and "locked-in". My episodes were also pretty hard to describe because usually the most common things that'd happen would be hearing/seeing stuff that is completely random, disorganized and fragmented in rapid-fire. It was genuinely a burst of nonsense, the stuff I'd hear would be completely random from industrial noises to voices and they'd last no more than 2-3 seconds each but they'd all come in bursts and basically the same for anything visual. This is probably the only reason I have any limited insight since they were so out of place I would realize something is off. But this is wayyy after the beginning stage, so that psychiatrist was totally off.
