Hi I'm new. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2004 but never told why and I didn't really remember anything, so I always just denied it. Lately though I've been wondering and started looking at videos about it on youtube and it helped me remember some stuff and also realise that some things I did and do are actually symptoms. I thought it was just me! I'm glad I'm not alone here anymore. It does all add up and make sense now. I just got my meds increased yesterday due to paranoia, suicidal thoughts etc coming back. I hope having this forum will help as it wasn't talked about much on the site I used to be on. I hate all the stigma around the name schizophrenia, I'm still normal, no one would ever guess unless they could read my mind. My best friend says it's no big deal, I wish more people thought that way. If it helps anyone, my old psych said it was just a label so they know how to treat me. Well I look forward to maybe getting to know some of you
