And then he goes to point out that I have to sleep with the light on, and i halucinate regularly. Then I argue that I have never been diagnosed as having schizophrenia.
And he asked if I ever actually told my doctor about those things that I heard and see. And I said no, I'm not going to tell my doctor that I have those issues and I harm myself! They'll put me away forever! Anyway he suggested I should so they could tell me I have schizophrenia.
But that just started the conversation and thought. Is there really a point to going to the doctor to be labled as some thing if you function well enough in society as it is? I don't see a point.

Unless your boyfriend is a doctor he canīt give you a dx of schizophrenia. If you hallucinate regulary I would tell a doctor. It doesnīt mean youīve got schizophrenia, but would be worth talking to a doctor about. ..and no they wonīt put you away forever, tons of people experience this and selfharm. Please go see your gp or a pdoc eventhough your scared or don`t feel like it. They canīt release any info about you to other people unless you agree and tell your boyfriend to be supportive of you instead of putting some label on you.
