thanks. I wouldn't mind "Schizophrenia" as a diagnosis if my problem was primarily psychosis, but...its not. so...when people 'round here talk about my 'schizophrenia,' I see that as an abuse of psychiatric labels, to invalidate me.
I don't know why my mind jumped to making it a social class issue. Feelin' a lil Marxist today, LOL.
My psychosis is -bad- during agitated, manic phases. Thankfully, I've only had a couple of those. I've had episodes of severe, psychotic depression...not fun (at all), but the psychosis then is...different. Not as in your face, pronounced. More...whispers, a vague sense of unease and paranoia, apprehension. Like being haunted.
