Thanks, and congrats! I was diagnosed with "indeterminate psychosis" or whatchamacallit, and then later my new psychiatrist added "observation re: paranoid schizophrenia" to the diagnosis, but I told the initial bunch (when I was hospitalized) I had all the textbook symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia (because I'm interested in psychiatry, psychology, psychoanalysis, and such, so I was 95% sure that's what it was - I was severly paranoid, I heard abusive voices, I had delusions of being mind-controlled, I was suicidal, I was "dreaming while awake", the works) but they wouldn't believe me, haha (as they do with people who've been through a recent psychotic episode, eh).
I read this neat little book called "Why psychosis is not so crazy?" and it helped me a lot, it's a neat little read and I highly recommend it (10$ in ebook format on Amazon). I also read "The subject of psychosis" by the same author which is a hefty tome on psychonalysis, which further elucidated some issues, but I would only recommend it to people seriously interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis. And once I understood WTF had happened and why, whatever symptoms I had left started going away (they were gradually decreasing on their own, and hopefully subs helped as well, but after these books I feel totally free of the darn thing).
Take care!
