So, I Read This And Went Down A Bit Of A Research Rabbit Hole, And These Are The Articles That I Thought

So, I read this and went down a bit of a research rabbit hole, and these are the articles that I thought would be the most helpful/ interesting/ compelling.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6526283/ This is an academic article from the NIH that's more about SZPD in general and is what I started with.

I looked into @i-am-a-dragon-dragon suggestion of Esme Wijun Wang's book The Collected Schizophrenias, and while I couldn't find a (legal) place to download it for free, I did find this interview that Esme did with PBS about her history with her diagnosis.

I found this book Self Study: Notes on the Schizoid Condition, and this website has a link to a free pdf https://press.ici-berlin.org/doi/10.37050/hs-01/index.html

This old NYTimes article is more of an overview/case study about a man with an unspecified Schizoid disorder. I found it really compelling because it does have a happy ending so to speak

https://www.brightquest.com/schizoid-personality-disorder/caring-for-someone-with-schizoid-personality-disorder/ This is more of an outsiders manual for helping people live with SZPD, and giving some overview for therapy options.

If you want more reading, I recommend going to the References section of the Wiki article on Schizoid Personality Disorder. There are a lot of links there and while they are very high-brow academically written, they are very thorough.

I hope this helps! good luck.

I know this is something of a long shot, but I feel like of all the Tumblr users I know of, you’re the most likely to have an answer.

Recently, I was diagnosed with szpd (Schizoid Personality Disorder), which explains a decent chunk of my life struggles.

Do you have any stories, advice, or resources that you can share with me?

I actually know very little about SZPD or related disorders, so I'm going to turn this out to the floor to see if someone has recommended reading for both of us.
