I've never been diagnosed or treated by nurse practitioners before-
bc I haven't been entirely honest, necessarily.
When I was young, I'd see apparitions of ghosts- I'm a very spiritual person to this day. I've also experienced these things w other people, so I don't think it's necessarily 'inside my head', you know?
But on a daily basis, I have conversations w myself. If I'm alone, out loud... if not, I keep it to myself.
I don't usually hear voices.. mostly just energy/vibes and I respond to what I feel is being said.
So because of that- I suspect it's from my childhood trauma.. that residual violent, humiliating energy that is engraved into my mind, still trying to commandeer the narrative of my life. I am paranoid often, but that could also be the trauma. My GAD/cPTSD collaborating in negative ways.
But I also worry, since my ignorance on schizophrenia and similar disorders, that I should seek diagnosis, then treatment, when I have insurance again. What is schizophrenia like? How would you know?
