This feels like a safe place then with all you lot here. I was diagnosed with Tourette's and then later in life I decided I didn't want to have tourette's anymore so I didn't have it then. Same with ADHD and dyslexia. I wished it all away, and then it was gone.

How do you deal with schizophrenia? What are the symptoms?

 Jada is right: this is safe enough of a place to talk about it, Delora.  I am curious what led to the diagnosis, why now, etc.  How distracting is it?

 Well ok

So I first started hearing voices because of my abusive teacher boss Chris 

 

But they were super mild and I ignored them 

Even though I had much worse things happen to me sooner in life 

 

However during boss Chris I did use weed 

 

Although also before it. 

 

But he would say things purposefully to trigger my PTSD over and over again and would laugh and enjoy it it's a long story that's the same class I met my current girlfriend in 

 

Later however, this week, I found out my best friend died via suicide this month. She was 27 years old.

 

And I lost it. The voices started to be a lot more frequent and I was screaming and crying until I was basically sedated lmfao 

 

Now I'm on abilify but the bottle isn't the brand name but it's the same thing 

Plus some kind of adhd med 

 

Lol

 

It is distracting af sometimes I get so overwhelmed I just want to stay in bed and close my eyes until it goes away

 

If anyone wants to have some fun with the guy DM me I hate his guts
