I need to know more about this as I am going to a psychiatrist for the first time next week and I want to be as informed as possible so I can improve quickly.
I have one main thing that I'm convinced about that may be true (you never know)and it has gone on for almost 20 years and is about to tear up my family. I feel like no one will really tell me the truth. Anytime I hint at what I think, everyone denies that they're really thinking or saying things.
Other situations have come up at work in EVERY job situation (new job about every year for the last 5 years). I always think people are against me, talking about me, slandering me, etc. I can always point to reasons why I know they are doing this, but when I try to confront it, everybody, even people who I'm sure would be truthful, denies that it's happening at all. Is this schizophrenia? I never have hallucinations except when I'm going off of an antidepressant.
I am not paranoid about Nazis or space aliens or anything that is beyond the realm of possibility.
I guess this really doesn't have to do with medications, but in a way it does, because I need to know what meds treat this.
