i’ve decided to completely dedicate myself to symbols and patterns

Hey this blog went silent for a bit because I was un-diagnosed with schizoaffective (long story) and I felt kinda weird posting here but now they're thinking of re-diagnosing me with schizotypal so uh? Hey how's it going I guess
demonic possession wouldn’t even affect me, i would just assume it’s The Symptoms

told someone i'm schizophrenic and they ask "are you sure it's not just your mind playing tricks on you" bro what the fuck do you think schizophrenia is
me: you literally have a disorder. this is symptoms
me: no perhaps my soul is rotten
im sorry for being a white boy with a broken heart who listens to the magnetic fields
I accept the schizo label because "bearer of the curse" isn't in the DSM
did you know that approximately 20% of people on the schizophrenia spectrum never hear voices?
also: 20% may never experience any hallucinations at all.
it's really important to mention because not knowing that really hindered me in accepting my diagnosis, and it's likely that there are others out there on the schizophrenia spectrum who may not realise it or accept what they're experiencing (a common thing for people w/ schizophrenia).
i thought that in order to be schizophrenic you needed to constantly hear voices, like my uncle (and like the media often represented), so i kept denying the diagnosis when my psychologist, doctor, and later a psychiatrist, were trying to convince me that it's what i have.
even when i felt like maybe i had accepted it, i was still also really dismissive and in denial because of such a lack of public awareness over how much it really is a spectrum condition.
i experience auditory and visual hallucinations when i'm under stress (and am very sensitive to even the slightest stress too), but overall they are certainly not what i consider my most common symptom.
paranoid delusions, cognitive problems, as well as avolition and what's called the negative symptoms of schizophrenia, are what i experience every day.
hoping that maybe speaking about this will help raise awareness about how people's experiences can be different.
pin for all my fellow paranoia havers that are so brave and strong every night walking to the kitchen

I have theories that even I don't give a fuck about
