I finally got lucky and found a therapist who gets me. Never heard of schizoid (we learned together) but has super-solid attunement skills. So... there's hope.
Agree on Divided Self (assuming that's the Laing you mean?) really good read. The Masterson/Klein book is pretty good too.
I wish more of us were given bupropion right out of the gate (is also the only daily med that helped me). SSRIs are generally not going to be our friend and when some people are only willing to give meds one or two tries, I think a lot is lost...
Naw, you're not insane, as long as you don't hurt anyone or yourself. Don't think in absolutes (insane or sane). I suggest taking a psychology and philosophy course at the local community college. These will help you a great deal in understanding how your mind works and connecting you with more resources. There is a great deal of knowledge from thinkers past.
