I guess the fact that my brain feels under pressure and I have done unexplainable things for unexplainable reasons means that this diagnosis fits me. Still I despise being thought of as a psycho, I think there is a lot of stigma around psychotic symptoms and those that experience them. I understand apprehension with psychosis and psychotic people, I mean I have seen and heard some crazy things done and said by psychotic people, So I understand why people fear psychotics. I guess I still feel people think it is choice on our part that causes us to behave and think in strange ways. I do not try to make anyones life more difficult than usual, I only try to get my needs met with what tools and skills I have.
