Here are my original diagnoses and my current ones, made years apart by two different doctors. I speak on the effects of the medications I’m on and what I still experience after the major psychotic episode I went through. This is the final post in this little series of posts.

As time passed, the mental illness started to affect my school life more and more. I developed self-destructive habits and got into unhealthy relationships while the anxiety and schizophrenia continued to wreak havoc on my ability to function.

I recall a few specific incidents after the move to Missoula, some aspects of how schizophrenia affected school, and how it caused me to develop panic disorder, which I am still recovering from. I mention the comfort of music and a memory of my first friend in Missoula.

In this part, I expand on my experience with my romantic relationship around the mid-point of my major psychotic episode, especially during an exotic trip with him. This includes how the voices reacted to him, his mental illness, and how that affected me.

In this third installment, I explain why I quit the volleyball team, how schizophrenia stole soccer from me, and a brief bit about my withdrawal from my social groups.
