I haven't exactly been diagnosed with schizophrenia but my diagnoses reads: major depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms and ptsd.i see things that scare me,hear even worse things (and I know there's a difference between thoughts and outside hearing)and when it's really bad I'll see blood on my hands.and while meds were "working" for a while theyve stopped giving me that calm feeling and replaced it with being paranoid.so I stoped all my meds (lexapro,lithobid,risperdal,trazadone,benedryll)
