I know my old docs were against giving me a schizophrenia diagnosis before because I was under 18 and they thought I would "grow out of it". And other docs gave me an initial psychotic disorder NOS diagnosis (which later became schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type) because they hadn't seen me "long enough"...

I'm just not sure based on the rules from the depression forum...
Quote:
We're okay with people discussing their somewhat vague thoughts or feelings they have about wanting to commit suicide. Such posts should be marked with a trigger icon when made, and usually posted here in the Depression forum.
We're not okay with people discussing their specific intentions, plans, methods, or such in a way to suggest they are currently in crisis and in need of immediate assistance. So we do not allow talk of specific plans, methods, or intentions. We're not a crisis hotline, and are not setup to deal with people in such immediate need. We believe that when a person is at that point, they should reach out for a real-world resource in getting help.

Like it's pretty specific, but it didn't happen in this world and I'm not in any danger right now...
Whatever, I'll just say it.
My mom was supposed to drive me to the new doctor's in the city, but she wouldn't drop me off at the building because she had another appointment to get to. Which normally wouldn't be a problem, but the voices have been discussing the next step in the mission for a while that is dangerous... and it involves something that I had to walk by to get to the office (non-specific enough?)
So I managed to walk past it by reasoning that if I went in that direction, either my mom would see or the docs would call me for being late or whatever...
But when I got to the office (where I was meeting with the social worker) the voices and visions started up again... I couldn't really follow what he was saying because I was off in another world doing.... what they wanted me to do... So I just kept nodding and eventually "came back".
EDIT: I should clarify that often when I have visions, I don't have total control over what I'm doing in them (if I'm in them)...
But after the session was over, I was alone on the street again and almost did it. I came really really close.
Somehow a frozen yogurt store ended up saving the day...
