No, I don't think you would qualify as clinically schizophrenic.

The things you say that might get you labeled as such all revolve around a series of conspiratorial beliefs that you have about simulation theory. A conspiracy theory alone does not make one schizophrenic. Nor do your beliefs about the nature of reality and the afterlife, your beliefs aren't any more schizophrenic than people who have 'faith' in their religion, we'd have to label half the planet as schizos

Now, if like weegspeegs, you started accusing every member of saidit of being a secret archon who was involved in this conspiracy, then I would start to think you might be schizophrenic and whacked out of your gourd, but as it is, I think you just have a belief that isn't that usual, and seem pretty sure about it

The overall profile sounds a lot like me though. There's more to it than finding "crazy" worldviews believable. The chronic stress and cognitive decline is the biggest red flag for me. I have almost every warning sign there is.

And perhaps I am somewhat delusional for thinking certain conspiracies are such a big deal, even though my theory may be correct. My crusade against "the cabal" of reddit got to the point where the admins went way beyond normal permabans, on two separate occasions. Even go1dfish thought I was going overboard, he once was worried that I might be doing drugs because of how fixated I was on it (I never have). And he's not one to jump to such conclusions, nor is he exactly known for not throwing tantrums about reddit himself. My conspiracy theory turned out to be true and so did many others, but perhaps I wasn't so realistic in dealing with it.

I do think you exhibit some of the warning signs of someone who might be predisposed to having a mental breakdown if you aren't able to manage your stress levels. But I honestly don't think you are acutely schizophrenic. Reddit is a cabal as you pointed out, and I've gone overboard and thrown tantrums about magnora and soundsituation banning me for stupid reasons. Stress can really take a toll on your mental health even without you having full blown psychosis, and I think you are right to be concerned about it

A lot of my stress comes from being stressed even when there's nothing to stress over. Which is a schizo symptom.

But it could also be the other way around. I don't have enough mental energy so I start glitching out. I think it's possible chronic stress caused it.

Either way there's no way I'm not going to have a breakdown soon. I should not be possible for me to have even made it this far.
