Yeah, like one of the only things that I didn’t relate to was the whole section on seeing illusions and hearing voices and stuff.

And I’m sure some have killed themselves too.

I never said it was praise worthy…

And you know what, you’re kinda right. I’ve decided that getting professional help is too expensive, fuck that slave ship.

Reading on Tim Mclean, I looked up warning signs for Schizophrenia, and I think it’s time that I get a professional opinion…

 

Religious delusions- that you are Jesus, God, a prophet, or the antichrist.

 

Delusions of grandeur- the belief that you have an important mission, special purpose, or are an unrecognized genius, or famous person.

 

Thinking people are working together to harass you

 

Frequent moves, trips, or walks that lead nowhere

 

Intense and excessive preoccupation with religion or spirituality

 

Inability to form or keep relationships

 

Increased withdrawal, spending most of the days alone.

 

Becoming lost in thoughts and not wanting to be disturbed with human contact

 

Inappropriate responses- laughing or smiling when talking of a sad event, making      irrational statements.

 

Sudden irritability, anger, hostility, suspiciousness, resentment

 

Depression- feeling discouraged and hopeless about the future

 

Low motivation, energy, and little or no enthusiasm

 

Suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideation

 

Rapidly changing mood- from happy to sad to angry for no apparent reason (called labile mood)

 

Severe Anxiety

 

Feeling indifferent to important events

 

Hypersensitivity to criticism, insults, or hurt feelings

 

Staring, while in deep thought, with infrequent blinking.

 

I’m just going to stop there. I should ask about it, see if I could get my healthcare to cover it.

It’s funny because I knew your condescending comments was you trying to say that… but I was waiting for you to actually be a little direct with your comments for once.

But now that you can look back and read what I was saying, you’d know that I didn’t self diagnose myself, I was just expressing some concern and considered getting a professional opinion on it.

And you did imply it, though your comments are so indirect that it’s really not that easy to actually get the point of what you are saying.

I think I’m skitzo after reading that. I think 85% of that describes me. I could probably get ssi   

by those standards, half of america is schizo.  

  

  

are you sometimes unhappy?  eating too much, or too little?  

having trouble performing tasks that are difficult?  feeling that your job sucks?  

are you easily distracted by startling occurrences?  do you dream when sleeping?  

have you heard a joke and thought, ‘that was funny’, but still didnt smile?  

do you squeeze the charmin?  jog in cold weather?  buy really cheap vhs tapes from pawn shops?  

have you used a personal insult on an inanimate object after stubbing your toe on it?  

keeping old magazines that you never got around to finishing, but expect to read someday?  

do you look at pictures or posters on your wall, and idly wonder if it would look better on the other side of the room?  

  

if you said yes, we are sorry, but YOURE FUCKIN NUTS!  

  

lucky you, though!  we have a medication for that.  

it wont keep you from being nuts, not really.  but it will keep you from having too much money, which keeps us from having too little.  so ask your doctor about our shit, basket case.
