Well my mum said I was always abit different but the psychosis really hit at 17. Why - well most probably from my dad. He's been in/out of psych wards. So it's most likely a family inheritance
I have never been certified. My parents didn't want me to have anything on record and there was a fair amount of shame involved. Not understanding me sometimes worried/challenged people but their subsequent reactions to me often made things that much worse. Example: the violence, being locked in a room, held down for long periods.
In my world, I was operating just fine. The fact i spent an entire day not moving from that one spot in fear of the sharp kitchen utensils flying at me was a reasonable act of self preservation. I was living my own normal.
I hope you are feeling better today Bluey moon : ) It's beautiful out here
