Only 20 questions though, only part worth seeing as good about that is that the test was likely made with their target audience in mind.

"you're schizo turncoat? pet pet"

I'm technically Schizophrenic (so not schizoid if that was the assumption from my shortening it dumbly). Even then around half of the symptoms are treatable in my case. Before finding what worked for me I was over time reaching a point where I'd never leave a continuous episode, and even now it's more like an awkward balancing act where I cannot allow me to trust myself too much.

Actually my trying to help people's closer to a hobby since I can't afford to go back to college. Instead I'm sitting on a Graphic Arts degree since I definitely didn't get into college from a superior GPA. If it's "my calling" then the cell phone of fate's still buzzing in my pocket.

As is any help I give's unprofessional, but it's hard to argue with results. People more readily talk to me for the same reasons people are more open to communication in things like AA, seeing me as "one of them" instead of some dude with a clipboard. There ought to be more services like that (without all that God nonsense anyway).

"Just don't advise the people that should be on the pills o_o"
The pills tend to make them worse than when they started even when they're extreme enough cases to warrant it. Once they develop a tolerance all hell usually breaks loose. It's on the listed side effects that they tend to cause the very things they treat, and even while still "working" it's still a mess. After so long they'll be on a cocktail of things to treat the things other meds are treating for the same reason with a shredded and confused sense of identity.

Young age pill popping's the worst though for the "one step one cure" mentality that follows them.

I wouldn't use the term schizo to describe schizoid, and I wouldn't pet you if I thought you meant schizoid. 

Good for you. Are you young, medium, old?

Oh, well, just being sure since if you had it'd have been my bad for leaving it that open ended.

I'm in my mid-twenties, which I'd optimistically consider fairly young.

No, that's medium. 

(just kidding)

Good for you. Keep on the path you're on.

"No, that's medium. (just kidding)"
It is arguably medium and it's creeping me out. I keep seeing people I once knew with kids and it's just... weird.

"Good for you. Keep on the path you're on."
Thanks. The path I'm on's helped others gain more control over themselves without the need for pills if not help in trying to find the root of their actual problems (typically from former misdiagnosis exacerbating existing problems), alongside something about me granting comfort to other "crazies", so I'm inclined to agree~

It's a mess to watch people try to quit pills, especially those that had no business being on them in the first place. I'm constantly thankful my folks turned down the "advice" from others.

That's what happens when you get old. Can't tell ya how many little cupids I have in my newsfeed this past valentines day.

It's good you've found your calling. Just don't advise the people that should be on the pills o_o

Calling can be getting paid for it, or doing it for free. 

Would it be possible to pick up some kind of mental health certificate at a community college?

I see you as that kind of person too. You're a nice, level headed asset to this jungle gym of a place (though it has gotten a lot better lately)
