Thanks! My friend. Appreciate you, brother 🙏

Now that's an interesting question! I don't know of any book that understands this thing outside of the brain chemical theory. I would say, however, that psychologist Carl Jung has a pretty good understanding that extended beyond the widely accepted chemical imbalance theory. The problem, however, is that I don't know if he has a particular book dedicated to the subject. I haven’t really looked that up aside from what I've read through Google searches on him and his thoughts on the subject. I'm hoping to put something out that fills that gap, considering I got through it and feel I've a pretty good grasp on how it works.

Honestly, it didn't take too long when compared to how I suffered. It’s hard for me to tell because you just get so caught up in living that you stop paying attention to time and all the nonsense that's happening within. It's so seamless, and you just keep going because you're no longer looking back. Your eyes/mind is forward. It's just life. You get caught up. You get better as you tackle the challenges and claim that territory within. You slay one giant at a time until you're the last man standing. The time it takes depends on you. That's the best way I can put it. It'll vary per individual because the capacity for each individual is different. Hope that helps

Not sure! Some folks hear voices outside their minds. I experienced it like that as well. I've also heard voices coming from objects, within walls, and from other people when they swear they haven't said anything or said what I accused them of. I don't think it's strange that voices can come from parts of your body when it comes to this condition. Voices can come from anywhere or like it appears they're coming from anywhere. The reality is they're not coming from any other place than our own minds. Schizophrenia is a world of illusions. It's a world built on deceptions.

Yah, that's a tough one. I recommend working with your nurse to try tapering off and seeing how you do. The problem most people make going this way is that they don't take the time to first build a solid foundation that'd hold up when the storms of psychosis crash against the structure of the minds and so the whole house comes crashing down. They lose their senses and get carried away by illusions. My advice is to first build your understanding of this thing. When you stop medication, there must be a 100% certainty that no matter what comes, you will not fall under its pressure. If you can withstand the pressure without breaking, then it'll have to break. It'll leave and try to break you another way. You withstand it. It'll leave and try to break you another way. You withstand it, and if your conviction is strong enough, it'll never trouble you again. If you have holes in your conviction, then it'll try to poke through those holes until you learn to seal them up. Essentially, it's about mindset and attitude. This affects your perception. Learn to fight for your perception. If you understand these things, then you'll do well. But again, take the time to build the foundation of your mind. This is a mental struggle. Build up the mental through understanding. That's the key 🔑

Thank you :)

Thank you! My friend :)

Hi! Thank you. I appreciate your kind words of support. To answer your question; No, I no longer experience any schizophrenia symptoms, thankfully.

Thank you! I wish you all the best as well :)

@@themorningmist99 Thank you so much!

It's not that simple. These aren't just thoughts. They're entrenched beliefs. They're like a mighty tree whose roots sink deep into the depths of the earth. You don't get rid of a tree by pulling off a leaf, and neither do you get rid of these by simply saying it's not true. It's deeper than that. Saying it's not true but still believing it's true will still make it true to the mind. This is because the belief is rooted deeply. That's the problem. We've to uproot the beliefs, and that's a hell of a task. It's why most people still struggle with this stuff. They tried telling themselves it's not true at the beginning, but the mounting evidence was more convincing than those shallow words with zero evidence behind them. This, therefore, caused the belief to sink deep into the subconscious, which is the soil of the mind, and from there, this wretched tree begins to flourish and bear its wretched fruits of madness and self-destruction.

I'm doing great! Thanks for asking Still living above and beyond Schizophrenia, and I won't stop 🙂

Hi! I'm doing well. Just been super busy, and to be honest, also been a little unmotivated. That being said, I'll be posting a video soon. I can make a video on that... detailing how I managed things. I'm no longer symptomatic

@@themorningmist99 Glad you keep going! That will help a lot! Will keep an eye on it. Blessings and thank you!

I understand this completely. It's almost like subliminal messages that you find by reading between the lines. Your mind plays with words or phrases that sound alike and chooses the worst ones to latch on to and call that truth. It's a hell of a game it gets caught in. It takes more than saying, "it's not real," to rise beyond it. It'll pressure you by attacking you again and again and again until you break and believe it. The emotions are like floods that drag you under the depths where you hold your breath in fear of running out of oxygen. The panic is that intense. The stress and anxiety are overwhelming. You become weak. It drags you deeper and deeper until you're in total darkness. It's tough to struggle back to the surface when you've sunk to certain depths. Definitely talk to your doctor. I wish you luck 🙏

Hi! I sure can. Thanks for the request.

Yah, meds can be a trap by simulating symptoms one would experience from the illness itself. Some folks find some relief, though. I wasn't one of them. I identify with your son's experience more than with those who find relief.

Hi! @Aleksandra. I'm doing good! I've just been pretty busy with life and was just exhausted. There was a lot going on in my life, but thankfully, things are settling down. I'm hoping to share a little more in a video I'm planning to make on the upcoming Friday when I'm home. Thanks! For checking in, though. I appreciate it. I hope you're doing well, also.

What's the point of them letting you know they hear you? Any ideas?

You can get through it. Don't lose sight of who you are and focus on being the best version of yourself no matter whether they're in your head or not. It's about control. External control or internal control. Focus of internal control rather than being controlled by what others say or do. None of that matters. The only thing that matters is how you choose to respond. Therefore, all the power is in your response. That will be the determining factor. Good luck

Me too, and I deal very well with this. I just don't mind, I think it is actually a very good way to see the world, the secret is just not to take it too seriously

Hi! Welcome to my channel :) I haven't been medicated since 2012 when I last visited my psych doctor. I haven't looked back since. Hope you're also doing well, my friend :)

@@themorningmist99 Thank you for your answer! Gives me hope to hear that you can be un medicated and still function even if you have schizophrenia diagnosed. Have not had good luck with medication myself, i have tried 7 different combinations. They have all kept the delusions away but my social life, confidence, and sense of purpose and self disappear when im on them.

I understand what you're describing. This is something both illness and medication can erode. It's your sense of self/ perception. It's a very difficult struggle, but there's a way where there appears to be no way. It's not hopeless. I was said to be treatment resistant. I just perceived the illness differently than how the doctors perceive and presented it. Don't ever surrender over your hope. It's far more important than you may think.

You're welcome!

God bless you as well. I pray for your healing and recovery. The perception of reality (the world around and within us) can be a treacherous thing. I hope you find your way to the truth.

That's awesome :) Yes! I certainly did those things that I wrote under that video. To this day, I'm still 100%. No psych doctor. No meds. No symptoms. No regrets. I know it's a challenging journey, but I pray my story and other video(s) were able to inspire some hope within your heart. Hope is in short supply with this illness, but that's what makes it so much more valuable. All the best to you and your son. I pray he finds his way within the mist that's always ready to persuade and capture the mind away from finding its way out. If you've any questions or suggestions, please feel free to share.

Tell yourself you're not that important, so it's got to be something else that's going on.

I suppose it was Marijuana induced. I felt suddenly struck by panic, confusion, and visual hallucinations. That was just the start of my descent into the darkness of madness.

I like this. Thanks for sharing 👍

Hi! Love you too ;)

I've heard of it happening like that before. It's why if we build on understanding rather than how we feel, then we'll be better prepared for the storms when they inevitably arrive.. The experiences may not always be "bad." Some experiences can be pleasant and even comforting. But, there's always more behind the good feelings. At least that's my take. Others certainly feel different... but they're also still suffering 🤷‍♂️ The reason why it tends to be bad is because it is a thing of destruction. It's no different in nature than physical illnesses such as diabetes or cancer. By that, I mean they steal your health and would leave you in absolute ruin if there's no intervention. This is why I can't see any good coming from them, even though the experiences might seem pleasant at times. Yet, there's another side to the pleasant feeling it offers. It's like some animals using lure to catch their prey. They offer the image of pleasure, but the price for falling for the trick is very steep. Most of us with these conditions don't seem to understand this, and hence, why they continue to suffer in spite of supposedly making friends with "their" hallucinations. I didn't start to fight this thing until about 6 years into it when it nearly drove me into an early grave. As long as you have breath and the will, you can fight and beat this thing. You only truly lose when you refuse to get back up after being knocked down. That's how I see it. That's part of the understanding that I built the foundation of my mind on. Don't ever give up or lose hope. No matter what comes, don't you do it. Thanks! For the questions. I think I might make a video on this topic 🤔

@@themorningmist99 i would be interested to hear that

Hi! Machaon. Let me tell you the truth of the matter, there's no one who cares enough about your life to be sitting in your head listening to you all day. If it were true, they'd have real problems. That would be a waste of ability. We don't have anything of value inside for them to take. When you really break it down, the notion is just silly. Shake yourself and awake to the truth and let the real battle to reshape and retake your perception begin. You can break through the illusion, but you must recognize it as such first, and then maintain that awareness as you move forward. I'm surely not in your head, and neither were you within mine. Yet, I would've sworn on my life that you were. Hopefully, this will awake your mind to hold that question between you and the belief that people reading your mind is reality. Good luck, my friend
