Hello again. Ok, I am bored, so here are a few other things on my mind.
Oh by the way can I just say, Ed_UK, you start a lot of very interesting posts! I keep seeing these big threads started by you! So keep it up, its good.
Right. I think I will ask about diagnoses. Like I said in my post before, the doc says she will think about diagnosing schizophrenia next year, as she doesnt like to give heavy diagnoses in the first year of illness. And plus of course, it may turn out that I dont have it. I suppose only time will tell. BUT, you guys may understand this better than me, can I be schizophrenic if I dont hallucinate?? I thought that was kind of the *hall mark* of schizophrenia. Are there many schizo's on this board? There's lots of chat about APs but people dont always say what for. I mean it could be anxiety, psychotic depression, OCD or whatever.
Since my first post my doc has increased my seroquel from 300mg to 750mg and actually I am feeling a LOT better. I think that is why I am interested in thinking and talking about this stuff right now. When I am ill I don't have a lot of insight and tend to think that my thoughts are fine, and that I am genuinely being punished. And it gets VERY scary. But since for now they are better, it would be good to try and pull apart the ins and outs of things.
So if anyone has had any experience with schizo or anything, it would be good to hear about it.
Thanks guys. I think i should be off to bed now :)
