| I don't have a future. I am twenty-six. Most of my life has been stolen from me. I have nearly gone blind from the anti-psychotics which I stopped taking a few months ago, and I have no way of defining myself. I can't afford college, I don't have a job or degree at this point, just two years at univ... |

| I think I have Autism, not schizophrenia or bipolar disorder or attention deficit disorder. I have all the hallmarks of early high intelligence, sensitivity to noise and stress, hyper-vigilance and difficult social skills. I don't understand why someone would want to torture and break an autistic in... |

| I am starting to think it has nothing to do with anything at all and that I cannot define myself by their terms. I believe if I had schizophrenia I would have had it in childhood. I believe if I had schizophrenia I would meet the criteria and I have never met their criteria by my own terms or defini... |

| That's odd. I've never noticed this before but I can imagine people doing it. Maybe you should just do as you said and put tissues on the table for them, haha. It might look rude but so is not blowing your nose that's gross especially if they are doing it to purposely offend you. |

| There are people who smoke weed everyday to feel the same effect. I'm not sure my opinion on it. I want to live without medication or substances influencing my life anymore. If there was something that could help me right now, though, I would probably take it. |

| You might have schizoaffective. It's treatable. I would talk to a psychiatrist because the sooner you treat it the less damaging it will be over time. This illness can reverse, but the more time you spend in distress the harder it is to come out of. |

| It all depends. If you have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, it could be that you need a medication adjustment or to start writing down memories so to organize your thoughts. Or if you have Bipolar or Depression it could be a signal that something is off. Vivid dreams arise due to stress and not coping... |
