“Schizophrenia” is two things

@Eddi,

It's not optimistic :) it's a legitimate skill to recognize the consensus reality and adapt to it as needed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus_reality

The idea is, in a clinical setting it's normal and natural to label symptoms and develope a diagnosis. The consensus of those people is one thing. But in other settings, among your friends we accept your beliefs and their trajectory. For us, your friends, it's a different consensus.

The challenge becomes adapting to the different consensuses. It's a skill.

Next time I see my psychiatrist (and I haven't seen him since the beginning of the pandemic) I am going to calmly explain why I reject consensus reality

Telepathy should be protected by the first amendment, as freedom of religion and speech. There is nothing wrong with talking with your mind, but it is easily just as bad to interfere with the mind even in a medical setting. I would just like my mind to be faithful. Good people are willing to be silent, but evil people won’t be respectful. If you here someone believe they are schizophrenic but still talk to you they are crazy.

Well, I'm not sure what's to be gained by doing that. Going from the info you've provided in the past, I would expect disintrest in the topic. Then the question is, if the Dr. doesn't want to talk about it, how do you respond?

The thing is though, they actually ask me about it

As though that by doing so they can gage my sanity

OK. well, if they want to talk about it, then you have a good reason for calmly explaining it. :) Just watch for cues that would indicate they're finished discussing it. And of course, don't get agitated if they don't share your views.
