> do you know what your psychotic symptoms are?I do experience paranoia and weird thoughts also lack of motivation and difficulty when it comes to future goals but not sure those last two are psychosis symtoms.
I have difficulty experiencing positive emotions and experience negative emotions far more intensely.
When pressurised/stressed i can become highly anxious/frightened/irrational/paranoid/and vocally very expressive ie prone to heated ranting and raving.

> i hope you feel better soon. how are you feeling today?Today has been a goodish day ie low levels of anxiety and paranoia.
Things can and do change on a day to day basis though.
