> I am sorry but your posting to me was scrambled, all over the place, and not making sense. I was having a hard time following most of what you were saying. It was like you were bunching alot of things together (your problems, my problems, medicines, etc.) I was getting confused. No offense at all but, I just didn't get it.
I'm sorry, perhaps I was being too clinical. My main 2 points were 1) what was the optical issue and 2) a lot of people are concerned with TD with the atypicals, which I wrote a link to on a previous posting on the board that although anything can happen, and all we know is that the sun will probably rise tomorrow, serious anxiety can be quite dampened by a small effective dose of Seroquel which is now believed to be probably the safest atypical at around .1% TD risk.
What you were saying about the confusion, yes, I was projecting my illness simply because I was saying that people can have comorbid (multiple diagnoses) such as OCD + something else, but with the right tuning of medication can have greatly improved functioning in life.
I guess I projected because frankly I feel sort of alone in my complex and I wanted to know how you felt and what was really diagnosed. But that's your business obviously and you don't need to say it.
Point being anxiety doesn't necessarily lead to paranoia, extremely anxious situations can include a little paranoia, but all of these things are biological for the most part, with psychological components. Your body changes over time, its just how one is born (one can argue all of the nature and nurture but for myself I know I was born a bit differently)
Lastly I was just making a suggestion that there could be a bit of obsessiveness over the concept that there is paranoia or psychosis going on -- and there are multiple definitions of psychosis, a word I don't particularly like since I can certainly carry on a conversation and my intellect is quite intact.
Anyhow, if it wasn't useful, well -- as is said here, maybe don't believe all you read, or reread it if you wish. I was just trying to be helpful and I know I tend to ramble. I always have had run-on sentences -- its not a pathology :)
Do take care-- tidings
