hi -
im just wondering if anyone here has schizotypal personality disorder and what it is like for you.
At first, i thought i had it, but i've been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and have since realized that this diagnosis is more accurate because i have actual psychosis (but it is maybe a little milder than most schizophrenics)
also, whenever i read about schizotypal, it alwasy mentions the "odd perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions) i have lots of experiences like this. What is it like for you, if you have these?
eh, one other question. usually, when i read about schizotypal, it states that schizotypal people do not have hallucinations or delusions. But i've also read somewhere that they can have mild hallucinations. Does this mean the bodily illusions?
I dont know if this is true or not. It seems like if one is having actual hallucinations, they would be diagnosed as schizophrenic. Anyways, if any of you have hallucinations, what are they like?
thanks for any input.
