brightsurfer said:Hey, anyone here dealing with an F23 diagnosis? Just curious what kind of symptoms you guys actually dealt with

I've got it. I used to deal with auditory hallucinations—and smells too, all the time—until I finally started treatment. How about you?

crimsonmoose53 said:I’m looking for some clarity here.

Does anyone here have experience interpreting the F23.1 diagnosis? Specifically, I'm looking at "Acute polymorphic psychotic disorder with schizophrenic symptoms." My main question is whether this is technically considered a specific subtype of schizophrenia, or if it’s an entirely different mental health condition that just happens to present with similar symptoms.

The situation is a bit confusing because the same individual has been assigned two different codes: F23.1 and F23.0—which is "Acute psychotic disorder without schizophrenic symptoms."

Could someone help me understand the distinction between the two? A little extra context or a deeper explanation would be greatly appreciated.

That’s a separate mental illness that just shares similar symptoms—basically, it's psychosis. I'm not sure about the other one, but maybe that F23.0 code just means there aren't any hallucinations.

I’m dealing with psychosis and I'm pregnant right now—has anyone else been through this exact mess? Looking to swap stories and see how you guys handled it.

Nicholas Peterson said:The real issue here—and it’s a significant one—is that you rarely encounter a psychiatrist subtle enough to actually read someone's gaze or their body language, things that often communicate far more than any standardized clinical test ever could. For what it's worth, I carry an F23 diagnosis myself.😛

I've got that F.23.2 diagnosis myself—and honestly? Every single day I find myself wondering if there's actually any hope left for me.
What kind of symptoms are we even talking about here? There’s no single way to feel—it’s all different for everyone.

P.S. To the OP—look, believe me, your condition isn't that big of a deal—it’s just an illness—and honestly, you're handling it incredibly well, plus you're actually pretty sweet.

graniteraven92 said:Thanks for the advice, nimblecobra79.
Yeah, the absolute worst part is being stuck in this loop—just constantly fixated on one problem and nothing else. Someone actually pretty smart told me the best way through it is to just laugh at the whole mess, kind of like
that guy in As Good as It Gets played by Jack Nicholson.
It all comes down to that: learning to accept (and even embrace) your own crisis..
Not exactly easy, though..
And that bit about love? I've got nothing to add—I'm 100% with you there.
Thanks

👋

Whatever.😉
But yeah—once you actually own the problem, it loses its grip on you.

I've definitely been there.. when things were hitting the fan, I’d pray to Jesus—not just some vague thought, but really focusing on Him being right there in front of me. Honestly... it brought such a sense of joy and pure bliss that I found myself thanking God for the struggle itself. It reminded me what actually matters in life, and that love is genuinely GOOD and totally within reach.

Maud, what a beautiful story.

I'm with you on that.

Nemruth Dag said:So, what do you think it actually is? An astral attack... or just fear that somehow concentrated in one spot, which she picked up and then manifested internally like that? 😉

I’m thinking it’s both.
Only, I don't buy that she "picked up" the fear—it's more likely she developed it because of that assault she went through.
And you—you basically stumbled right into the headspace she created.

Basically, there's this entity (looking like some creepy old man) that's clearly trapped and feeds on fear; it sensed her trauma and used it to manifest in her dreams like that. You just happened to drift into that specific slice of the astral plane.

It's a sign for her—and maybe for you, too—that you both need to toughen up, spiritually and mentally.

p.s. Dreams show you exactly who you are and how you're doing, regardless of the persona you try to project.
So yeah, dreams are useful tools in that sense.

graniteraven92 said:I can hide it from most people—except, obviously, the ones I live with or see every single day. But even they don't get it. I constantly hear these incredibly infuriating comments, like "you're just imagining things" or "just try not to do it."
And my social life? A total wreck. For instance—friends invite me on a ski trip to Colorado, and even though I'd love to go, I can't. I'm terrified I'll be stopped from doing my stupid rituals, or that I'll spend the whole damn time obsessing over them. That's my first thought—so I'd rather stay home than go somewhere where people might realize how "crazy" I am.
I'm burning so much energy trying to mask this disorder, and it’s wearing me down more every day.
As for relationships? No way. Not a chance. I mean... I could manage it before, and I did have a girlfriend once, but now that things have gotten worse, it's totally unrealistic to expect anyone to deal with me like this. That’s probably what hurts the most. I feel like an invalid, except I'm the only one who knows it. I have to keep it hidden from everyone else.
Maybe I just haven't found the right psychiatrist, but honestly, I'm starting to doubt one even exists. The whole reason I made this post was to find even a tiny shred of hope.
Thanks.

Look, I know it feels heavy, but it really isn't.
We all have flaws that are basically illnesses in their own right.
Some people lie, some are selfish, some are... yeah, the list goes on.😉
Every flaw or illness—call it whatever you want—shows up way harder when a person is unhappy or lacking love.
Being in love doesn't necessarily mean being in a relationship, or even having perfect connections with everyone around you.
The easiest way to find it is simply by thinking about someone (anyone) you love deeply. When you send love out, you automatically receive it, and suddenly every little problem seems irrelevant—which it actually is.

What's bothering you isn't even a mental illness; it's a spiritual void caused by a lack of love.
Besides, every kind of ailment—physical, mental, or soulful—stems from that exact same deficit (a lack of trust in God), occurring when our spirit isn't fully immersed in love.

I hope that makes sense.

Just relax and accept what you're going through. Strengthen yourself with other qualities—especially knowledge. Knowledge is a massive, accessible power that leads us toward a justified kind of optimism.

And remember, the impression you leave matters. If you remain bright and kind despite the struggle, people won't even notice it. And that's the main thing, isn't it?

delija said:Nah, you pay for your sins.
Karma handles the collections.

For instance.
I drank like a fish for 30 years—up until 1981.
Basically, I was wrecking my body; trashing my cells.
Then, back in 1993, this massive pain hit my liver area (literally OVERNIGHT).
Every single medical test showed I was perfectly healthy—but the pain stayed—for THREE whole years.
And then, just like that, it vanished.

I smoked like a chimney until 1992.
Right after I quit, I ended up with throat cancer.
I beat it fast—but I still deal with issues from time to time.
According to doctors, I’m always fine.
So yeah, karma's still working its magic.

You want to know how I see it?
Sin causes a weak energy flow—which leads to physical deformities—and that's why our consciousness stays so narrow. Because we're stuck in that narrow mindset, we don't see reality; we just become victims of illusion. Everything negative is an illusion.
Pain is just a sign that you haven't broken free from the illusion yet.

Our deformities, these illusions... we can fix them by actually loving other people.
When you love someone, that love (energy) enters your system and corrects all that mess mentioned above.

It's similar to what those holistic healers try to do.
But the catch is—if a person tries to compensate for things they think they owe (things they haven't "paid off" by loving others and living by the Law), they just end up creating problems or illnesses in other areas of life.
So, you might help someone fix their kidneys, but then that same person ends up sabotaging their own career.

There's a reason Jesus said—go and sin no more.

I'm repeating myself.😬

Anyway, delija, I'm right there with you.😉

hiddenviper9 said:nimblecobra79: hiddenviper9, what about sin?

hiddenviper9:
First off, we actually need to answer one basic question: What even is sin?
Because honestly, it’s not everything the church tries to force us to label as such.

So, go ahead—tell me which specific sins you think would cause cells to be damaged.
But don't you dare bring up "church sins"—for instance, loving someone else's wife isn't a sin according to the laws of Nature.
It's not even against God's law.

So, which sins are we talking about?

Sin is anything that causes harm to any living being.
Sin is whatever goes against life itself.

At the end of the day, it's not really about what we do, but how we do it—you know,
whether we're acting out of love and respect or pure hatred and contempt (toward anyone or anything).

It's a simple example—it's not the same thing if someone hits you to help you (those situations exist) versus hitting you out of sheer spite.
The strike itself isn't the point; it's the message behind it—the thoughts (the energy) are what actually matter.

hiddenviper9, what about sin?

I don't think just talking—or "thinking"—is enough (those aren't even deep thoughts, they're just surface level)—I'm healthy,

because cells, just like you (or anyone else), know the truth—you can't trick or deceive them.

Sin is unnatural; it causes damage to those very cells because we hurt them through our actions. They become blocked from receiving energy, which leads to cellular deformation in our system, and eventually, that manifests as physical illness.

We can't lie to ourselves.

Respecting the Law is the only way to stay in God.

And if we break the Law, love is there to fix those deformations.

So love others and live by the Law as much as possible!...

🙂
.. if you actually want to live.😉

shadowgardener12 said:p.s. 🙂 when you meditate, you aren't practicing "thinking about nothing"—because if you try that, you'll end up thinking about everything—you're practicing letting thoughts drift by without grabbing onto them. anything else is just more suppression, which just creates new conflicts and fresh impressions... and you're basically just exhausting yourself trying to burn off the old stuff! plus, you actually get to meet your own endless inner world.

Fine, my bad—I misspoke—it’s more like one, two😁 and then the thoughts fade out until they’re totally silent.

So, tell me—what has it been like for you when you hit those states?
And do you ever do focused prayer?

For me, those prayers are the best—they just fill me up with love.

shadowgardener12 said:The big difference is really just your mindset during meditation—you aren't supposed to identify with any of those stray thoughts. You just let them pass through, watch them, and realize they’re just echoes from the past. That sense of peace? It comes from finally letting go while you meditate.
And when negative stuff pops up, you just let it drift by—or better yet, you intuitively catch that link between suppressing things and your own mental conditioning. Don't let them take the wheel... otherwise, you're just daydreaming about the past without actually realizing anything, which is just more unconscious drifting.

So, what you're saying is—if I'm ready or relaxed enough, I'll start seeing visions of the future, ancient history, or whatever else exists because my conscious self basically knows everything?

That's what I was thinking; honestly, I'm not even sure I want to know all that yet. 😉

It's weird, though—there aren't even "negative" memories surfacing. Even the bad ones feel almost identical to the good or neutral ones in terms of how they hit me.
But I guess that's just because of this incredible, peaceful state I'm in.

My takeaway is that these snapshots of the past just show up because something has to surface once the mind is calm and loose—and right now, letting go is the easiest thing for me to do.
So, I don't think I need to "realize" or figure anything out regarding the past; it's just showing me that everything is acceptable, and in the grand scheme of things, every single event is pretty much irrelevant.

Thanks for the insight. 🙂

shadowgardener12, I've got a question about meditation.

Sometimes—without even trying to clear my head, mind you—these flashes from the past just start hitting me. They feel incredibly vivid, almost like I’m actually back there again... and honestly? It brings this sense of total peace, just this really beautiful, steady calm inside.

I'm curious why these memories pop up—like, what's the actual connection between the past surfacing and having a quiet, "meditative" mind?

soto said:The real question here—and really think about this—is whether that energy you felt was actually being drained from someone else in the first place... because if it’s true energy, born from the field of Truth, then those leeches you’re talking about wouldn't even be able to touch it... As long as you're playing by the rules of cause and effect in this world, there’s always going to be a little bit taken from you... the biggest mistake is thinking there's only one kind of energy, just looking at it from your perspective... If you want to call it energy derived from Cistoca and Truth, then it can't be parasitized—it’s just given freely and naturally to whoever is capable of receiving it... This energy someone is taking from you isn't that kind, which is why it’s being stripped away—it lacks the necessary purity and strength that flows from the source... You know yourself that what is True can never be taken away... ever.

Dragonfly said:In my view, nothing moves forward until science actually serves humanity instead of just lining the pockets of big corporations.

nimblecobra79, give me a definition for "real science."

Real science is based on facts—hard data.

Sometimes 😁 people mistake whatever some "scientist" concludes from a handful of data points for actual knowledge—except half the time, that "expert" ignores half the facts needed to reach a valid conclusion, making the whole thing wrong. That’s not science, even if they slap the label on it to look legit.

Paul Campbell3 said:😬
Are you actually being serious right now?😲
That whole "science" nonsense is exactly what landed you where you are—completely disconnected from Gaia.
😁

I'm not buying that.

Science—real science, I mean, actual facts—actually helps people grow their consciousness. By connecting the dots, we understand how things work, which makes us more aware, more human, more... normal.

Sure, we lose some things and gain others—you know, human skills and virtues changing over the centuries—but when you look at the big picture, we're definitely coming out ahead.

Joshua Foster5, 👍 👍

you nailed it—I'm pretty much on the same page as you for the most part.🙂

I'd say just have a kid—that's always my advice.

Honestly, I wouldn't pick any of them... maybe Winston Churchill, though.
