Great videos. I am schizoaffective. I've had it all my life and am 37 right now. I have a couple episodes this week and have been reaching out to others that have my issues just to let me feel less alone. You make me feel less alone.

[@aokijimartinez2572]

Lennon Lange I do too. Thanks for your comment.

[@quimerincafeinado5298]

I think you can't figure out how much your videos are helping me to accept my disorder and don't panic every time I hear entities or voices. You have saved part of my life, a big part. Thank you really much.

[@jltrek1234]

Hey. I'm a psychiatrist and I just wanted to say that what you are doing is incredibly meaningful and impactful! You will be able to touch the hearts of many whom mental health providers will not be able to connect with. It is great to hear someone talk about the positives and negatives of psychiatric treatment. The only thing that I disagree with is completely coming off medications, though depending on the individual, i would be willing to do so (with more frequent sessions). More often I will lower the dose to a fraction of the original dose, sometimes even lower than a typical starting dose and monitor since many of the side effects are dose dependent. All-in-all, keep up the great work. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next Elyn Saks :-)

[@sk8ernutdw]

People have recovered from this illness through vitamins and nutrients and fruits and vegetables without the needs of medication. This is why doctors don't tell you this crap. You know the fact that medication can shrink the brain volume and cause problems with side effects. You're probably paid by the big pharma companies to report them how the drug reacts like every doctor out there and in fact you do NOT study the brain. You only study the mind and behavior. Most people never realize they are supposed to get a brain scan and stuff like this. I researched a boat load of info and it turns out people can cure themselves without medication. It all has to do something with your brain lacking Vitamin C and B3 plus more. Instead of exaggerating you're killing people and shortening their lives by prescribing them dangerous meds. It's like getting a lobotomy. No excuses.

[@chromberries7329]

Kal-El oh, you have schizophrenia? and you cured it through eating oranges? oh yeah, sure. you, in fact, do NOT study the brain, nor psychiatric medication, hell you probably don't know shit about psychiatry. you think this person went through what, 10 years of school for nothing? just to mindlessly prescribe pills? get down from the clouds babe, ain't no antipsychotic physically addictive. sure, I guess you can become dependent on them, and you might have withdrawals if you quit them out of the blue, but they're not like oxycontin dear. man, while you're at it, tell us about them damned autism-causing vaccines. maybe you need some meds.

[@JesusSaves194]

Justin Lewin Don’t need psychiatrist or meds , just Jesus . The voices you are hearing are demonic, I am not your own

[@Minty1337]

from my experience I don't have that feeling you mentioned, but what I do instead of relaxing is ignore it, I figure out if something is fake, and if it is I try to ignore it, its hard to tell sometimes, but I try to ignore it when I can and I just have stopped caring about everything and I more or less treat the world in its entirety as fake, I joke around constantly and I enjoy everything and I laugh at terrible things and I just float through and joke around with it. I also laugh at my own hallucinations, especially the voices in my head

[@topgtom]

Derpy Hooves don’t suppress it, what resists persists

[@cierasherrod7026]

Thank you for sharing these videos. It's helped me so much.

[@codergames]

Dude, you're so awesome! You figured it out :) ... just a word of advice and warning, getting off the medication, any medication, needs to be very gradual to avoid withdrawal symptoms.

[@FutureAbe]

You're fucking awesome, brother

[@fruitmyshirt9482]

You seem like such a strong person... I really admire your positivity, you are very inspiring !

[@moodybunn]

you are so calming to watch! I'm going through psychosis rn and you're really entertaining to me, thanks!

[@rodriquemanuel4977]

Sorry to hear that you going through psychosis at the moment. Just know that the bizarre thoughts that you are having aren't real and don't under any circumstances listen and do what the voices tell you to do. They like to f*ck with a person. They have been f*cking with me for years and they still doing it to this day but I don't believe what they say nor believe the outlandish thoughts that enter my brain... The voices told this one girl that she was the messiah and that she had to sacrifice her life for the sins of others and she tried to kill herself too. It's so messed up how the voices screw with a person...

[@vitamins17]

I was in the foster system and started showing signs near the end of high school. I told them why i wouldn't come out of my room for 6 months. They said i was lazy and kicked me out. I was able to get my license, get through 2 years of college, and get a internship at a big tech company on my own. During that I've been homeless multiple times,and currently in a bad place. I let my illness get the best of me time to time. Its hard for me to keep a job. But even now I know I'm capable, happy to be alive, and proud of what i have achieved. Support is harder to find without family, but mostly not giving up on myself is what keeps me going.

[@persona-wo8bi]

Damn that's impressive

[@artisbeauty0822]

I'm glad that you're positive about it, I have a cousin who is schizophrenic, always been curious about the illness then found your videos. You're a pretty stable person, sometimes it doesn't seem like you have the illness I know that's weird to say, but its true you're aware that you're having hallucinations, you're aware that you have delusions, as long as you're aware of whats real and whats not then I feel you've got it under control. I've met many schizophrenic's who aren't as stable.

[@jonathan9380]

Thank you for making this, there are loads of vids on how to spot the symptoms but not how to deal with them. Its also nice to have someone to relate with, this helped alot

[@dakotahope599]

thank you for being so light about this topic, despite it's hardships dealing with it. you are a lovely person and i love your outlook! hope you, your girlfriend, and family are well ♡.

[@giovi9992]

So glad to hear that your parents are so supportive and unconditionally caring towards you.

[@angelusavila2409]

you are an important person and a very giving person, Jacob

[@CindyNyxRavenmoon]

I'm so happy for you Jacob! I hope your stability continues.

[@roofontop9545]

I've watched mostly all your videos from a while back ago and it really helped me to learn and relate to it and felt like I wasn't alone even though I have quite different symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. I still have these broken tissues or whatever is broken in my brain and also feel them on my hands and plus fatigue when I go over my limits like going for shopping for 3 or 4 hours or talking to people for a long amount of time continuously. But your videos just help me, I can't explain how but I really like watching them so thank you!

[@RaferJeffersonIII]

Watched your vids for years. My ex wife had a Sczphrnc Dad and she always was scared of hospitals and dr. She always held bizzare delusions but if she talked through I could talk her out of them. She suddenly changed and became withdrawn and we split up, the next 3 years I was helping her every 6 months as she could not hold down a job, and every one of her housemates called me to explain she needed help. Can't live with the guilt that my leaving her made her stressed and much worse. I tried to get her treatment but she refused and accused me of all sorts. Such a tough condition but I am glad you are doing well.

[@dakotahope599]

rafer Jefferson iii hope you are doing well too! and all the best for her. i know you care about her greatly

[@MrNobodyLand]

I have SO MANY comments that I could make as i watch this in agreement with him. It's just so nice to know that someone else GETS IT, like right on the nail so similar to what i deal witj

[@legionDC]

Gotdamn! I ❤ you, Jacob. I'ts like I'm watching myself w/o the girlfriend. I loss my girl-friend(s) because I was trying to get by without meds. Your family, girlfriend, and others giving you love and support is excellent. DO NOT brush them off what-so-ever!

[@HovektheArtist]

This is good to be shared, i applaud you, and similar to you playing music loud, i get auditory hallucinations predominately so i always have one earphone in and always play something to block it out and it helps a lot, for me support wise, theres few but they are great

[@vivelavidacontento9683]

I have schizoaffective disorder. ....and it sucks....

[@vivelavidacontento9683]

+heavenly bliss very hard!!! but hopefully I will overcome it!!!!

[@josephcole3725]

I also have Schizoaffective disorder Deppressive type

[@vivelavidacontento9683]

+Joseph Cole sorry to hear that. do you have an email where I can contact you???? it would be awesome to share some experiences.

[@JoyLykes]

I feel for you. My boyfriend is too..it hurts watching him suffer.

[@Minty1337]

I just have schizophrenia, I got lucky with it, but by what I have learned, just don't take anything seriously and you don't get depressed as easily or as much.

[@stormmaverick]

Stress triggers me. I don't even like to listen to music or watch tv cause I will hear voices more with entertainment. Hear fewer voices when I'm outside smoking. Try to quit smoking, but the schizophrenia keeps me stressed which keeps me smoking. I'm tired of hearing voices that always bring me down. For some reason 99% of the time it's voices of celebs dead or still alive.

[@sunshine27253]

You are wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge; you are helping people.

[@ashleyduran2415]

Thanks, this really helped. I do find with my schizophrenia when i'm goofing off about my hallucinations and delusions it's a lot easier. ohhh and stress, the whole thing about relaxing is majorly true. god, i hate it though

[@bluenova1835]

I like your right hand. Usually, I only like people's left hand, but your right one is actually pretty cool.

[@_mvr_]

I admire you for being so open and honest about what you feel. keep up the good work bro really like your point of view on things

[@SwagStayStrong]

Thank you for everything you do

[@mikaelavalete870]

YAY so excited for the next video with you guys(:

[@aliranesh9036]

I tired of hearing voices that threaten and insult me and they dont even real

[@SeVenZilver]

Thank you very much for making this video I have the illness and I will definitely try your coping mechanisms with mine because it's starting to hit me really bad RN. I'm a struggler ;-;

[@SeVenZilver]

You earned a sub because you're helping me so much with this just this video alone.

[@staceyneese7139]

Your video is really helpful. My son is diagnosed with schizophrenia back in the beginning of august of this year he's been to hospitals after hospitals nothing seems to be helping him. He's getting violent now. This new medicine seems to work somewhat. But your video gave me good info on what he's dealing with, thank you for sharing.

[@Search4truth488]

You said you can feel a hallucination coming on. What does that feel like?

[@InternalMind]

Like when you can feel a bad dream coming up and you try to wake up

[@supermac18rocks12]

Everything starts to grow a glow like in a dream or exactly how a movie would depict that its now a dream. Thats just me though, i'm sure some people cant feel it.

[@Bradleyyjohn]

it's like an instinct

[@HovektheArtist]

Like theres an slight itch in my brain or some kind of buzzing or humming i can feel in my body

[@StevoLaz]

Thank You For this for the longest time I didn't wanna believe I had this mental health issue. I would just take the meds to make my parents happy, I tried coming off the meds when I felt stable but it didn't end up working out in my favor but my personal experience i need the meds in order to live a normal life.

[@abelmedina7702]

Thanks bro very inspiring keep making videos

[@luislheartYT]

Thanks for sharing what and how you're dealing with the illness. Sharing your insights surely helped me think how to proceed ahead. My name is Deb .

[@TnDon]

All your videos have been so informative. Kudos to you for sharing your experiences with us viewers.

[@yasmina8348]

Loved this video!!! Can you maybe make a video about how you deal with the paranoia that comes with it? (People are out to get you and not feeling safe)

[@igotdgnty]

Much love bro ✊ you’re a big impact

[@aeyde]

Just wanted to say thanks, you saved, and inspired me to deal with this shit.

[@kyleclark627]

It's rough when you live with a family that just doesn't even want to comprehend what's going on in my head. No support has made mine really bad lately

[@Neonmirrorblack]

You look a lot like Cillian Murphy. Reading, blasting music (headphones) and video games are also my coping mechanisms. My issue isn't mental, although I have probably developed an anxiety issue over time. Anyway, watching your videos right now because a neighbor of mine knocked on my door last week asking if I wanted to hang out. For the first time in his two years of being my neighbor, and he's schizophrenic. My mother was bipolar and schizophrenic, and that was impossible for me to deal with growing up. But her situation was a lot different, as was the way she personally dealt with it.

[@MrNobodyLand]

Just within the first literally 34 seconds (currently have it paused @ 34 second rn) i can see feel what this guy goes through. Key words and how he's saying things certain ways, facial expressions etc. Damn i hate being schizophrenic man. Ok, pressing play now...

[@humanitycomesfirstgrewal6921]

Feeling proud of you god bless 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@igotdgnty]

Keep your head up bro 💯✊ stay strong 💪

[@sarahbucket8037]

aw thx for sharing :) I'm so happy for you and your girlfriend.. I always get happy when I see your vid pop up :)

[@rollingguitarist1172]

I was just diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar😐thanks for the help your tips really calmed my anxiety down

[@saradantas1029]

Well said Jacob 👍👏👏👏 btw, you look very clean! I saw one of your video talking about hygiene, that it's hard and all, but you are looking great and fresh! 👍

[@ashlynnmichellemiles3683]

Thank you for this so glad to know I’m not alone I got my schizophrenia around 17 or 18 my parents have also helped greatly I’m having a hard time picturing a love life I’m glad you’ve found one gives me hope but like I said I’m just so glad I’m not alone

[@nightowl5557]

I have schizophrenia......

[@skrunklycreationz]

I need help... The voices in my head keep telling me to hurt and kill my bunny. I love him so much, I don't want to hurt him. I don't want the voices to take over.

[@marcempunkt9737]

I wonder how it would be to have a job when someone has schizophrenia. Would it be possible to work with symptoms like yours, because for example you need to cool down when you are going to have a hallucination and work isn't really a place where you have the opportunity . Do you have a job right now or are you looking for a job?

[@betsybk11]

ty for sharing as often as possible.

[@DamianKenny8]

This actually helped a lot thanks man

[@camellia1942]

This is an old video but I want to know if I really have it or not.. I know most if not all people will suggest therapy or refer a psychiatrist or something but I can't afford it right now. I'm 17 male and I've been having hallucinations for 3 months now, I see dark figures and stuff in my periphery but everytime I see towards its general direction it disappears and it is happening daily now.. I only used to have hallucinations when sleep deprived before I thought it was normal but now idk.. and secondly I hear weird clicking noises that nobody hears, I hear voices and every night I start feeling watched and hear voices.. usually female but sometimes male. Because of these terrors I haven't been able to get much sleep now since these have been occuring daily now. Nobody in my family knows yet btw. And I am really paranoid about being watched.. like really REALLY paranoid. Unnecessarily sometimes. I started to believe that my house is haunted or something.. but after researching bout schizophrenia, idk

[@zararakkar9544]

Yes new video on Monday! Jacob is there anyway you could do a general q&a just about yourself and we can ask you ?

[@ايناساحمد-ع9خ]

It so hard to have schizo people don't understand what I'm passing through even my parent if i have argument with them they call me crazy i have shizo scince i was 17 it was was hard super hard in that day i was shocked from many things and i woke up having schizophrenia the man i loved said he just simply don't love me mum and dad devorced... And till nkw they are having argument... and left my friends and when i left i realized i was not important to them it dosnot chane anytying And now the one who i loved is now with a girl so on i heard they engaged then i realized how hard life is i woke jp hate my self donot love it anymore but it's hurt i just said everything

[@michelleimolina19]

[@xevsetter1201]

Your right I really need to de-stress. my meds help with alot with my sczoaffective ect ect. I realy enjoyed your last vid as well.

[@lyndsaypost4548]

Stress is beyond awful for OCD as well. I suffered from OCD for over 8 years and whenever I was stressed out or nervous (mostly because of school) oh my god it got so bad... i couldn't even function. So I kind of know what you mean

[@nah1047]

Thanks for sharing. I love your vids. :)

[@starboyonyx]

I just realized you're so handsome

[@Dcslawfirm]

Bro the problem with me is that I think people can hear my thoughts, I don't get any hallucination or anything but I get paranoid and I don't know what to do, I think of all the things I am not supposed to and then I think everyone know it and I get more paranoid. I just don't know what to do. Help

[@Luke68ish]

I have got a couple of questions : can you keep schizophrenia under control by using Prozac? Also how difficult is it to deal with stress, any kind of stress for a schizophrenic? many thanks.

[@submarine1090]

I love the comments under this video

[@wendy54321]

I would love to see you and your girlfriend go hiking or go to an amusement park together. Kinda like a travel video. Thank you for sharing your story Wendy

[@rarecockneyguvnor4945]

I wish you all happiness in the world. I want to pray for you God bless you.

[@nerodmcry5775]

I have all of those synpthoms , but im able to controll them , most likely Im a person that my mind cant stand quietly i keep thinking bullshis and voice on my head , is really makes me to suffer but i dont show any external reacions , its very hard to live with it

[@Alisa-bp1yp]

Did he remove the video of him and his gf cause i couldnt find it? x:

[@Sam-fe3pr]

Alisa B I can't find it either!

[@rachelfoley7168]

I have paranoid schizophrenia.

[@Ortegapsyxho]

thanks for sharing I deal with schizophrenia and this had helped me a bit

[@gingerbihhh]

i think something important you brought up is the therapy, verry important! everyone should seek the professional help they need. its as if u break a leg! go to the doctor ya know! seeking help is the hardest step for some people

[@MultiKalleman]

Im not sure if i have an mental illness - but im feeling sad i look in the mirror and get paranoia over what i see my eyes are wiggling (dont know the word) and staring like i look ive been possed or something. I feel like i do it to feel special/important bcs i dont even know if i would feel happy if i wasent struggeling with this since i dont even feel like life is that awesome bcs breakups and stuff. Im scared of allways being sad and mad about my life and that i didnt accomplish anything and my life was a failure which i could have been so much better if i just did this or that. I find playing video games good as an distraction of the mind jatter but whenever i have to do something like family gatherings or something i just get so anxious and its like a fight against myself everyday fuk mannnn... wtf am i doing

[@suzannealsop3394]

Love this video. I have schizophrenia too. Much love x

[@BambiTimes]

Hey quick question for yea. I beileve my dads schizophrenic I've told him several times that,that's what I think he has and he refuses to believe me (Which is part of being schizophrenic) but yeah I was wondering if you'd know how I can help him to beileve me?

[@priscillamathews4671]

Great advice Jacob

[@TheBeardedwierdo]

Dude I played video games during my second episode. I paid no attention to the video games I was battling satan and shit (literally)... Needless to say my stats went to shit haha... Also you say you read books to help? I can't read at all when I'm hallucinating.

[@thecomicgeek1894]

I don't know if I have it but I have all the symptoms

[@evesillen6323]

[@chadleydelport4118]
