I get this a lot because I work
However for me to do this I had to change my home to somewhere less busy and triggering
Working from home also helps as I can control the temperature, lighting and sound. When I worked in an office I had multiple relapses
I also tend to not trust the healthcare workers with everything going on in my head
It has been done through blood sweat and tears
Looking at me with a snapshot of very recently gives the impression that the decades of struggle did not happen
Plus clozapine makes head admin less

My pdoc says I’m one of his most psychological patients because I think a lot and read a lot but he still knows I’m psychotic most of the time.

I think i’m emotionally stronger than I let on, or i’m good at masking bad emotions. This often leads to trouble for me and outbursts for others. It’s making me feel really emotional rn tbh, I wanna cry and since i’m on my ones - I should be safe to do so, but part of me feels like it’s just not the right way to deal with things because it does not work in the long run - it’s not a solution

Probable ADD. Majorly struggle with organising and planning. Multistep tasks are like kryptonite is to Superman. Disabling effect = bullying related trauma + probable ADD > positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia/schizoaffective.
