I also want to point out that the feeling of being sick&#x2F;tired after your &#x27;episode&#x27; is also very common. As I&#x27;ve been told by a doctor, this is due to your brain going in overdrive for a few days, and then crashing. Typically it results in a a deep depression.<p>It always starts out small like this though, and it&#x27;s extremely common for a person after their first few episodes to still not believe they have Schizophrenia, so please don&#x27;t trust yourself.<p>I should also be clear, we could be talking about Schizoaffective Disorder. Schizophrenia is sort of umbrella term. I find it&#x27;s often used incorrectly. Lots of people who suffer still have prolonged periods of being completely normal and lucid, some even go into year long remissions. It&#x27;s a complicated disease, and you&#x27;ve displayed the tell-tale first sign almost to a T.
