I think this was the best catagory because I can relate to psychotic disorders in general. I just wanted to list some of the symptoms that have been a problem and see if you can give me any insight as to what's wrong. Also I'm in my early 20's (male). Thanks.
-Extreme isolation (socially and from society). I don't have a job and I don't want one. I can't work or communicate with people very well. Simple tasks can often be difficult.
-General paranoia when I'm in public (no specific fear)
-Can't hold friends
-Can't hold a conversation. I have absolutely no ideas in a conversation, nothing flows. My speech is poor quality in general. Short empty responses when talking to people.
-I don’t show emotions and I can't control my facial expressions. This may sound silly but I actually consider this a problem. This often leads to miscommunications with people and is probably the reason alot of people don’t like me.
-Angry mood swings that can often last for hours. I often yell and break things. It can be so bad that I often feel like going crazy on everyone (I feel like talking it out on anyone I come across).
-aggitation, hyper moods, short attention span. I have difficulty focusing on anything. I have difficulty taking pleasure things.
-very apathetic, poor grip on reality.
-bad hygiene (is this worth listing?)
-Sleeping disturbances. This hasn't been a problem lately but 2 month ago I have woken up (multiple times) hallucinating spiders in my room (unrealistic, huge spiders). It usually takes me a while to realize this is impossible. Even then, I still shook out my sheets and made sure there were no spiders around.
Most people would label me as lazy and irresponsible but I feel the problem is that I can't adapt to life.
