It is possible(not typical I guess but no impossiblity) to have schizophrenia without delusions/hallucinations, you can have the thought disorganization, catatonic symptoms/behavior, and negative symptoms and not experiences hallucinations/delusions(or experienced they only rarely). This was typically referred to the disorganized and/or catatonic subtypes of schizophrenia before those got removed from the DSM-5.

Hallucinations/delusions are the most talked about symptoms of schizophrenia because they do tend to be dramatic(like people that's what they talk about how the media portrays it it's all about voices and delusions and stuff stuff tsk tsk hahaha and of course things like voices telling me to kill myself then **** yeah that's a big problem complex). But there is so much more to a diagnosis of schizophrenia than just those two symptoms.

The reasons I can't function as a "normal" person in society doesn't have as much to do with "hallucinations/delusions" as it does with my ****ing thought disorganization being like it is it's wju I don't want to be around anyone because people think I'm nucking futs becaus I often don't "make sense" I guess..?? , ditto with my catatonic symptoms and negative symptoms. Granted, according to my treatment(what) team and people that care about me, I am constantly "hallucinating" and "delusional" on some level all the time. It just gets in my face then I it fades into the background again... But the reason I can't work is because my thought disorganization flares up many times a day even on meds(deads) and that makes communicating with people at all calling falling talking pretty much impossible, and my catatonic symptoms... I was catatonic for over three hours yesterday afternoon. I was doing well but now I'm not. It isn't my voices, or my so called "delusions". It's my thoughts splintering, my cognition being awful in general, and my catatonia ****. Don't even get me on the negative symptoms **** I can't even talk about that negative means negative thoughts that lead to insanity so I don't talk about that.

And I hate writing long psots lliiek this because I swaer the more I try to talk be it threw typing or talkin the less I "make sense" as I go along this early fall day call the.
