(2/3) sn't,true. Life is getting so confusing and hazy and I feel fake and not myself. And I've been trying so long to find out what's wrong with me. I can switch on and off my empathy, I have a flat effect, my emotions feel all muffled... SOMETHING is wrong with,me and at first,I thought maybe it could be hebephrenic schizophrenia? But I have no speech patterns like that, I have inconsistent hallunications, etc. What else,is there? Because these psychology books can only tell me,so much,about w
Hey anon! Your part three was not anonymous but since the first two were I assumed you wanted to keep your identity to yourself, so I’m going to answer this one instead of the last one. Part three: “(3/3) hat might be happening. Please help. What do you think?”It sounds to me like either paranoid schizophrenia or disorganized schizophrenia, or both I suppose. Definitely something on the schizophrenia/psychosis spectrum. The best advice I can give is to seek out a psychiatrist, and a therapist. Evaluating your safety and your peers’ safety is important too, if you are at risk of harming yourself or others and you can’t see a psychiatrist immediately, hospitalization may be a good idea. If you’re safe then outpatient services would be good. Psychology text books are good resources, but not everyone experiences symptoms of various illnesses the same way, and text books don’t cover everything every person may experience with any given illness or neurodivergency. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. I’m sorry my answer isn’t super helpful, there’s just only so much I can do from the other side of a screen. A psychiatrist would be your best bet I think. I hope things settle for you soon <3
