So I'm gonna post this in both schizoaffective, anxiety, and psychosis because I don't know....
My pdoc thinks I might have schizoaffective disorder because in her words, I don't "look like I'm psychotic". Or whatever that means ahah. I don't know if that's a relief or not but I'd really like an official diagnosis just to know what the hell is wrong with me. :/ My hallucinations continually get worse every day but my pdoc just thinks they're anxiety/trauma- based even though they started before my trauma???? Whatever. I just wanna know what's wrong with me.... She upped my dose of Zoloft and Geodon so I guess that should help, hopefully. She also mentioned partial hospital which I kinda do kinda don't want I don't know. Instead, I'm changing from individual therapy every other week to now once a week so that should do something. So I'll have individual every week plus three groups each week and a fourth group every other week. Hopefully I'll feel better in a couple of months but I'm not really holding my breath. I'm just so sick of everything, especially life. Ugh. Oh, and now I'm officially diagnosed with PTSD, WHICH I ALREADY KNEW I HAD FOR YEARS LOL. And tomorrow is the anniversary of my best friend's death so yay. I'm having so much fun. *notice the sarcasm*  Hope all is well for everyone.

I think you need to sit down with your doctor and discuss this, explain to her that your hallucinations happened before the trauma and ask her what she means by saying you don't look psychotic.

I did, that's the thing, Blue.
I told her and she said that "it's reasonable to have hallucinations as a young child but around when you hit age eight (when I had my trauma) is when it gets worrisome" Whatever. I just always feel like I'm not being heard but I also feel like I can never say what I'm thinking, like I can't explain it correctly. It's infuriating. I hate living. I just can't stand it and I'm only alive so I don't hurt my family. That's it.
