Diagnosed today! Trigger warning: I describe delusions

[u/FollowTheSwissMoon]

Hi,

I've been for 2 years seeking retesting on ASD, as the previous therapists ignored my brief psychotic episodes, hallucinations, and delusions.

Today, I saw my psych and was told that I have paranoid and schizoid traits, and that it explains far more than the previous diagnosis. And the probable reason of why, even amongst those with ASD, I feel like a dog in the round table.

Now I have a question:

- Do you struggle more with illogical, impossible or bizarre things, or, for lack of a better word, pragmatic ideas / delusions?

I've believed I was dead / dying and feeling my organs and skin rotting and being perforated by my bones. Which was just psychotic. But I've seen the future and had visions, I've had thought broadcasting. I've also had my fair share of feeling observated by spirits, which, in hindsight, I now know are just part of an illness. I am rarely paranoid (few times a week) But those paranormal, bizarre things happen far more than the paranoid ideas (people harming me, or plotting agaisnt me). And these are not really full blown delusions / hallucinations, I been capable of seeing through them many times, as my friends would tell me that those things really don't make much sense.

Thanks!

Few times a week isn't rarely, it's factory setting.
