Hello,

I have schizophrenia however you won’t even know it unless I tell you myself, I only have delusion of reference and delusion of persecution. I feel like people want to harm me or mocking me. I don’t hear any voices though which is the major symptom of schizophrenia. I am afraid of water and soap too.

    Thank you so much for those kind words. ❤️❤️❤️

    So the “delusion of reference” is I feel like everyone is looking at me (not in a good way but like judging kind of way). To explain this a bit more I want to share an observation made by my father. He knows that I have “delusion of reference”. I was standing in his shop beside him and I didn’t know he was observing me. After some time he told me that he noticed a thing, I was continuously checking if those customers were looking at me or not. He was right I was periodically looking at the customer because I thought they are looking at me.

    However since when I started taking medicines I am not feeling that way as much as I used to. I still sometimes feels that people are looking at me but it’s not that bad.

    If you want to know more about my situation I have wrote almost everything in @schizophrenia@lemmy.ca community.

    Thank you for reading this 😊
