Anonymous asked: The Wikipedia page says you have schizophrenia and psychotic disorder. Is this true?

The Wikipedia page says I was diagnosed with them.  That’s true.  I don’t have them, though, any more than I have bipolar, which is also mentioned.  The people who wrote that on the Wikipedia page are counting on people misreading it in exactly the way you just did.  I went through a lot of different diagnoses and misdiagnoses over the years, which is pretty standard if you’re in the psych system for awhile and you have any problem that’s even marginally complicated.  I’ve had physical misdiagnoses as well, but nobody dwells on those because it’s not as sensationalistic to say that they thought I broke something but I actually sprained it.
