News of Psychotic Disorders

Does anyone feel like there is other layers or something sort of "behind" what we know and accept as reality? Things that interact with us but on a level were not aware of?

I've been slightly paranoid my whole life. Had ideas but never really embraced it? Didnt know if it was abnormal but just ignored it and tried to function.

Right now. Big breakup, traumatizing situation might have made it worse.. bur I've seen ...

Hi all,
Wondering what experiences those diagnosed with psychotic illnesses have had with weed. Do you find yourself suffering with panic attacks/ strengthened psychotic symptoms? Do you think weed worsens your illness based on personal experiences or does it sometimes assist you with alleviating negative symptoms as I’ve sometimes noticed?

Hello fellow forumers.

I'm new here so nice to meet everybody. I hope to get some light on this matter before I actually visit a psychiatrist.

I have also posted another thread in the self esteem subforum.

It seems to me that I am on a destructive path using patterns that I now realized that had been going on my whole life since I was like 4. I'm 34 now and stuck in a rut. ...

Example: Had trouble starting my car before going shopping. She had told me to call if it wouldn't start after shopping and she would come get me. She needed to be at work and I was to babysit.

Hi, thank you all for sharing your journey's!

My husband was recently diagnosed with paranoid delusional disorder Persecutory type. This has rocked our entire world. We have had so many ups and downs due to his illness. I didn't know that many of the issues we faced in the past were due to his illness. There was a time where he "knew I was cheating on him" by the way I scrolled on my phone. ...

Very confused about my mental illness of thirteen years. Always been very quiet and reserved since child. At 13 to 18 , would retrace steps, rewrite words so my family's souls wouldn't get destroyed. Was obsessed whether I could be in synthetic reality and that other people were not real and I was alone in the universe. Believed I might be getting signs when I would watch TV and be thinking something very specific in ...

Sometimes I’ll say something and later be met with the exact same bizzare statement on television or satellite radio or whatever. I’ll look up production dates to see who predated under the suspicion that maybe I’d been ripped off or something. It’s odd and I’m trying, really trying to understand this sort of thinking or intentions if true. They say with delusions the delusional can’t be swayed but I’m on the fence due to the ...
