I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia because everytime i come off meds i have another episode. I've been hospitalised 4 times now and am slowly getting better. I also had blocked thoughts, it was like i couldnt think properly and there was a 10 second delay before anyone could get an answer out of me. I would hallucinate bother visually and auditorily. Just so you know that with the right meds and time things can get better. Its also good to have someone to talk to that wont judge you. By the sounds of it some of your friends have been pretty supportive which is great. I just hope you get the right support here.
