I was told the other day that I most likely have this by a psychiatrist. I'm am so scared. Seriously the shit we experience is so real. I don't know why they are saying the stuff we see or hear is not real. It's there.

[GlowieCollector]

I thought I could finally stop LARPING as a schizo. I went to get a bunch of psychiatrist to look at my diagnosis of schizoaffective but apparently I'm so good at LARPING that they won't change my diagnosis. Now I gotta wait for someone who went away awhile ago to get back just to see if this entire mess was worth it.

Entering(submersion 3 times with a certain prayer and crossing yourself) in water springs of orthodox saints (which are near or in monasteries)give very much power and sureness to people with depression, panic attacks, schizofrenia and other soul illnesses untill they reach the eucharisty that heals all soul illnesses. There are some springs of mother of God Maria that also heal all soul illnesses.

I have this disorder and I manage it well. Its only one part of my life. The way you mispronounce it is pretty rude and shallow. Get a life, and try being nice

I think my son has this, and refuses therapy. So sad...

[lisadiconti]

Can you go into more detail and list other negative symptoms that could occur besides just diminished emotional expression?
