Suspect I may be schizotypal instead of schizoid
By Anonymous | Updated 07/01/25(Tue)08:39:01
But I have nobody to go to about it.
My family is pretty judgmental and likes to brush stuff off a lot so I feel like I really can't tell them shit ever.
Last time I saw a psychologist he overlooked so much shit and the result diagnosis was a whole lot of nothing that could help me. I mean maybe it really is true that theres nothing wrong with me, and I am a person that listens to logic over emotion, but I just find it extremely hard to believe what he told me.
I need to find more resources and tips. Should I try to get another assessment with someone else? Should I opt for therapy first so they can really grasp the big picture? During the assessment should I explain first what I think I might have or should I just mention nothing?
>Should I opt for therapy first so they can really grasp the big picture?
Always. Correct diagnosis's can't be made in just a few appointments, you need at least 6 months of therapy and analysis to get a true diagnosis, in some cases even more.

Thank you, can I have your source? if there is one, I just want more evidence this is true before going to my family about a possible second assessment. >>12371360
My sources are official diagnosis books like DSM and my own psychology studies, which both has a requirement of symptoms going on for at least 6 months (or more) and that needs to be under professional observation.
Most younger psychologists and psychiatrists tend to overlook this specific detail and they just diagnose you on sight, which is usually wrong.
So my biggest source is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5
https://archive.org/details/dsm-5-t
If these are too few, I can search for other ones.

Thank you.
I have a therapist that I've been talking to since I was like 8, but I'm unsure if she can give diagnostics in the areas I'm looking. Shes only a child therapist, I'm 18. I suppose I should start searching for an adult therapist that specializes in the areas I'm looking. conditions on the ground here are less than favorable.
i live in a whoredom.
*sip*
that's me in the barrel btw.
so of course their gonna call me schizo.

aren't we all >>12371420
no we "all" are not.
if i met you in a bar and had a beer with you, i'd know after about 5 minutes that you are as useless as tits on a bull. you bring nothing to the game.
nothing.
you're the kind of person who when bad things happen to you nobody gives a fuck.
you might ask yourself why that is?
but asking you to do any kind of honest self reflection is a fools errand.
an act of futility.
i don't like you.
stay far away from me.
Your fortune: Good Luck >>12371386
Op again, would you mind helping me find the schizotypal columns in the dsm book? I don't know what page number it is >>12371545
I own the physical version of DSM 4 and DSM 5 and 5 TR so I had to search it too on the archive.org version
Schizoid starts on the 1390 page, and Schizotypal starts on the 1396 page (on the PDF version)

Thank you. You also seem like a very interesting person. Why do you have a whole psychical copy? https://youtu.be/wFKBN3MGUGI?t=130 >>12371576
I used to learn psychology before I was diagnosed SzPD and quit to become a neet. I had to buy all of these books in order to learn, and after that I just kept them.
Your fortune: （ ´_ゝ`）ﾌｰﾝ What does "something wrong with you" even mean? Are you in pain or suffering? Are there things you want ot do but something makes it difficult or you don't know how? Are you in distress or finding it difficult to cope with life? Are you unable to support yourself, or do normal day to day activities? you're just a dumbfuck >>12371611
Why'd you wanna quit? was it hard to become a neet? I feel like I'm kinda headed down that path unfortunately. >>12371633

I quit because I realized it wasn't for me. I love psychology but I only loved it because I spent most of my life searching for answers for my own brain. Also I quit in 2020 or 2021, around covid.
>was it hard to become a neet?
Not at all. I had to learn cooking and cleaning, but other than that I had no issues.
