Today I draw this. it float out of my mind and onto the screen. I went to my psychiatrist, I see him every 3 months and I suggested a condition to him that I thought I showed signs of. so I made a list on my phone of what I experience and handed it to him. he then said “I actually have a note here from when we first met that says STPD” he then goes on and explains that I am right on the mark and that he has been thinking that I had this since we met. I was blown away on how I was right on the money, he then asks me lots of questions relating to it and ended up diagnosing me with it. that condition is SchizoTypal Personality Disorder. It is on the schizophrenia spectrum but it is not the same as schizophrenia. since the meaning of the name explains the reasoning aka schizotypal means “prone to psychosis” it means that I am prone to transient psychosis during stress which luckily I am being treated for years with a medication called risperidone (all though it only treats the psychosis and not the disorder). there is no treatment for schizotypal, there is only treatment for the anxiety and transient psychosis. Schizotypal is defined as eccentric or odd behavier with struggle in socialness and making friends. we also experience paranoia towards people and magical thinking. people with schizotypal usually experience illusions as well where we constantly see things in the corner of our eyes but they usually end up being some sort of object. I experience illusions since childhood and it has worsened over time to the point where I see em 3 times aday. but the thing is that the schizotypals understand that there not real but will think that they are about to see a monster or something paranormal.

I make this extremely clear, I am very new to this disorder but I know enough to know that I shouldn’t be afraid or shameful about it. I am truly blessed to have the mind I do, without my unique way of thinking I think I wouldn’t be making the things I do today. I hope u all enjoy and have a good life. if there is any schizotypals out there. Please don’t be ashamed of yourselves, there are people out there that are like u. u are not alone. see ya everyone
