I knew something was wrong when I started hearing voices. Before that I was just seeing "spirits" and having visions which I thought was the result of psychic powers. Hearing voices is something you hear about as shorthand for crazy. Now I just use "psychotic" to describe what's happening to me. Whether it's a result of a mental disorder or something else... eh I still have trouble answering that a lot. Especially when the symptoms are more subtle... It's like as soon as one delusion is gone another one comes to take its place.
