I have paranoid schizophrenia and was on the streets for several years and experienced hallucinations and also voices. Now I'm no longer homeless and I'm doing alot better. :)

[@ilovesesshomarusama716]

I’m unsure if the visions are fake or real. I always suspected that people like you are experiencing a blending of dimensions. Higher densities. But the medical world isn’t ready for that. I think it’s an overactive third eye. The paranoia comes from a lack of trust after experiencing things no one else can understand

AngelTM a lot of it’s the medication, at least for me it is. I do not have schizophrenia, but I have many other disorders (neurological & autoimmune) that manifest in physical and emotional symptoms. The medication makes me so tired and really keeps me feeling like I’m functioning at half the level I really should be. I used to be a fun, spontaneous, energetic person but the medications and constant symptoms (physical and mental) have just worn me down.

Josue Brown I got told something similar and I went on to have one heck of a good time trying to fit in is not what you should be doing you need to accept that you ain’t well but think about it you have time to exercise with weights assuming that you would like to work on your figure/physique and then you can learn how to repair things and do all kinds of funky cool stuff but no lighting up your farts to impress women as it doesn’t impress them you probably know that already what about riding and repairing bicycles that is fun once you have a good idea about how to change a wheel and an inner tube maybe you can do odd jobs that you can learn from an elder that likes being around you because you have good manners learn how to plumb in a washing machine learn how to paint a room and do it well and you get paid we’ll go on don’t give babe you will learn how to cope you will be the best person you can and when you do that nobody can take that away guess what I am trying to get a valve trombone so that I can go busking to make a little money and meet people that aren’t about your diagnosis try doing something that you have not done in years go and get life by the throat make sure that Josue is a somebody not somebody with a diagnosis but the person that is really good at cheering people up I know that this might sound stupid but as long as you do your best you are as good as anybody else and probably better than many go on don’t give up do be my KZbin pen friend if you want God Bless and Good speed

I had a brother who suffered with Schizophrenia. He heard voices. He hear insults and when people laugh, he thinks they are laughing at him. Whenever we were in public, he put on his headphones and turn it up loud to drown out the voices. He had meds, but he said he didn't feel any different than when he didn't take the meds. His disorder doesn't dictate who he was as a person. He loves his family. He loved animals, and he cared about people. When he saw a homeless person, he would give them money if he had some and say God bless. He was smart and compassionate

[@napoleonaquino9347]

It has been said that about 10% of the worlds population have a third eye/ear - meaning they can see and/or hear spirits. To those who can hear/see spirits - you are NOT crazy, your brain is NOT acting up, the spirits are REAL !! Unfortunately traditinal modern medicine which is only about 350 years old, rejects ancient peoples beliefs (of more than 2,000 years) in the existence of spirits. Nowadays, if you tell a schizophrenia patient he might be influenced by spirits, doctors will think you're also CRAZY ! But no amount of DENIAL can negate their existence ! Like it or not ! Spirits communicate by telepathy - mind to mind, that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. Spirits can also DISTORT speech. For example if your friend is talking to you nicely as usual, you'll instead hear him/her MOCKING you, so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you paranoid & anti-social. They want to isolate you, for themselves !! You're their TOY !! Spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people) they desire. They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS and/or VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. I've had more than 20 years of this experience so I studied/researched them. I know how and why they operate as such. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or by experiencing traumatic events like rape, bullying, deadly accident or near-death experience If the problem is spiritual, the solution is also spiritual ! Get close to GOD. I also found out listening to Worship Praise Songs helps block the voices, even drives them far away !! Use a headphone/ earpiece so you don't disturb others. Good luck and Stay Safe.

She should get a service dog. It seriously helps. I used to have severe PTSD and my service dog was able to watch my back and alert me to people too close or people who walk up by me and people kinda naturally kept their distance when i was with my dog. Also, the times i thought I heard stuff but wasn't sure if i really heard those things I'd look to my dog and if they didn't alert me to a sound, then i knew it was all in my head. As a kid i just thought i could hear ghosts or spirits. Now as an adult it's not as often and its different things you can hear. Part of me was wondering if she was vaping weed. For some, weed can really help one sleep, relax, turns off that part of your brain for a little while, calms the anxiety etc. For others weed can cause them to have stronger symptoms and make them worse.

[@nba7776]

Listen, to those hearing voices in their heads, like me, you are not crazy. Unless you suffered a horrible head injury in the past, or you binge on meth or LSD regularly there's nothing wrong with you medically. Don't waste your money on endless therapy and medicine. The medicines only make you calm, often sleepy. But they are not permanent cures. So I did my own research and found the root cause of the problem. Like me, you belong to the unique 10 % of the worlds population that can hear and/or see spirits and entities. Yes, they are real and communicate with us regularly. They speak on a certain wavelength or channel that only we can hear/see. The spirits belong to three basic groups - angels & demons, spirits of dead people, and nature spirits or elementals (dwarves, fairies etc). I have already dealt with this sickness for the last 22+ years of my life, 18 of them - medicine free. I am OK now. Of course, not all schizo-episodes are caused by troubling spirits, but most of them are. Spirits talk to us telepathically (mind to mind/or inner voice) and directly(outside voice) or by using mediums/other people. They can distort speech to give it another meaning. For example, a friend is talking pleasantly to you but instead you hear curses and mockery. That way you become angry with him/her. Sometimes you think you can read other peoples thoughts when in fact the spirits are just creating an illusion. This is where your paranoia / persecution complex sets in. The bad spirits want to make you paranoid, to be isolated socially. They also want to harm you and others physically and verbally. How do the spirits enter our world ? Normal people are protected by an invisible force-field or an "aura". When you have a sinful lifestyle/vice, or are a victim of sexual abuse, bullying, or with unresolved anger, bitterness/sorrow, rejection, or suffer great financial loss, death of a loved one, or loss of faith etc, that aura is affected/broken. Our third eye/ ear is often activated after a traumatic event. When that happens the spirits can get to us. We usually start hearing voices, seeing visions/illusions, imagining things etc. You can also pick up troubled spirits from hospitals, asylums, morgues, haunted houses, dungeons etc - places of great misery & suffering or death. Like people, there are good and bad spirits. The bad spirits purpose is to isolate you socially and cause depression. My experience (90%) were mostly bad. Like magicians, the spirits can create all kinds of visual and/or auditory illusions- like breaking glass, slamming doors, dragging chains, seeing shadows, pounding walls, crying babies, angels appearing, missing small items etc. The spirits can imitate your parents or friends voices. They can even speak through animals. On the other hand, the good spirits only intervene when things are life threatening or when you're about to commit a deadly sin. They also give ideas and inspiration for projects and investments. Some of the good spirits are our own dead relatives or loved ones. You must test the spirits if they are good or bad. Some bad spirits can also pretend to be good at first. Most doctors know only the physical/medical aspect of our condition. They ignore the spiritual realm. So they come up with all sorts of theories about our fucked up brains and bodies, or our past shame/guilt or unconscious desires etc. That we are suffering from a chemical imbalance etc. They can't cure you permanently because they really don't know what is happening and they refuse to accept the idea of outside force or spirit activity. Its like the blind leading another blind. But, don't go to mediums and channelers, they will only bilk you for money. Go instead to a priest or pastor who will help. But beware, a few of the bad spirits will fight back and may even return later.

My birth mom has paranoid schizophrenia. I was taken away from her and put into foster when I was four. She was so mentally unstable that she unknowingly almost killed me. My adopted mom always portrayed schizophrenia as scary. She frequently implied that all people with schizophrenia are crazy and aren’t capable of accomplishing anything in life. Whenever I hear mental health professionals ask questions that pertain to its symptoms, it scares me, even to this day. My adopted mom frequently told me to keep my mental health in check so I don’t end up like my birth mom. Yet, she was in complete and utter denial that I had mental illness even though I have documented diagnoses for two mental illnesses and one neurological disorder. It’s hard to keep your mental health in check when you have to literally go on your knees and beg your parent to get you professional help. It’s hard to keep your mental health in check when you have go behind their back to get medication that is necessary for you to function even though you’re of age. It’s hard to keep your mental health in check when your parent says that you are choosing to be depressed and live in darkness. It’s hard to keep your mental health in check when you aren’t aware that being anxious, sad, and tired all the time isn’t normal. Words can’t describe how nice it is to be able to see an unstigmatized perspective about what having paranoid schizophrenia is like. My perspective on this mental illness is forever changed. I’m glad that she is able to get the professional help she needs and has people who genuinely support her instead of dehumanizing her because of her mental health struggles.

@@sierrachoco5271 thank you. I love individuality. Respect to you as well. My first two sentences were in reference to historical fact. Ancient (and much more advanced civilizations) regarded their “crazies” as the “shamans” of their communities. They held them up rather than try “fix” them like we do today. They were aware that we humans only detect a small amount of the infinitely available information and that a few individuals were able to detect a little more than the others. The larger community respected and trusted these individuals to guide them in areas where the herd lacked those extra senses. There are tribal communities that still do this to this day. The rest was my opinion about it. Subjective yes. I was born long enough ago that when I was a child and exhibited “symptoms” that were uncommon with the rest, I was tested and moved into a “gifted and talented” class with the other few like myself and our education was highly accelerated and advanced. We were teased by the others much how “elites” (not a bad word btw) are ridiculed in modern adult society today. I’m certain that today id be diagnosed add, adhd, bi-polar, psychotic and schizophrenic. For sure. Probably more. Instead I spent my life performing a highly intricate trade and acquiring rare skills so, my “gifts” have always been highly in demand amongst discerning individuals. They too say I’m really lucky because society usually “medicates” people like me into nothingness. (Society) When those people stopped participating in society altogether I didn’t have anything to do, and back out in society I was labeled with all these “illnesses” and I spent a few years diving into the modern industry of “self help”. I went everywhere from mental homes to “healers” and more. I labeled myself with every single label there is. I owned it. I felt “sick” and I was desperate for “help”. I’ve recently gotten back with my flock and I’m back to being around people who value creativity, ambition, drive, etc… and I now see what happened. I’ve put it into a children’s book about an eagle being raised by penguins. I see how you can disagree with my opinion. We are all unique and interpret things differently.

Sometimes you think you can read other peoples thoughts when in fact the spirits are just creating an illusion. This is where your paranoia / persecution complex sets in. The bad spirits want to make you paranoid, to be isolated socially. They also want to harm you and others physically and verbally. How do the spirits enter our world ? Normal people are protected by an invisible force-field or an "aura". When you have a sinful lifestyle/vice, or are a victim of sexual abuse, bullying, with unresolved anger, bitterness/sorrow, rejection, or great financial loss, death of a loved one, loss of faith etc, that aura is affected/broken. When that happens the spirits can get to us. We usually start hearing voices, seeing visions/illusions, imagining things etc. You can also pick up troubled spirits from hospitals, asylums, morgues, haunted houses, dungeons etc - places of great misery & suffering or death. Like people, there are good and bad spirits. The bad spirits purpose is to isolate you socially and cause depression. My experience (90%) were mostly bad. Like magicians, the spirits can create all kinds of visual and/or auditory illusions- like breaking glass, slamming doors, dragging chains, seeing shadows, pounding walls, crying babies, angels appearing, missing small items etc. The spirits can imitate your parents or friends voices. They can even speak through animals. On the other hand, the good spirits only intervene when things are life threatening or when you're about to commit a deadly sin. They also give ideas and inspiration for projects and investments. Some of the good spirits are our own dead relatives or loved ones. You must test the spirits if they are good or bad. Some bad spirits can also pretend to be good at first. Most doctors know only the physical/medical aspect of our condition. They ignore the spiritual realm. So they come up with all sorts of theories about our fucked up brains and bodies, or our past shame/guilt or unconscious desires etc. That we are suffering from a chemical imbalance etc. They can't cure you permanently because they really don't know what is happening and they refuse to accept the idea of outside force or spirit activity. Its like the blind leading another blind. But, don't go to mediums and channelers, they will only bilk you for money. Go instead to a priest or pastor who will help. But beware, a few of the bad spirits will fight back and may even return later.

I agree. Mainstream religion is psychosis and that is very common.

[@chriswhited]

my mother was a paranoid schizophrenic. She would give me half a dollar so when i came back she could verify who i was, by matching up serial numbers. she would think that if we took her somewhere and then brought her back home, that it was a DUPLICATE of her apartment and that "people" were watching here. This was caused by drugs and my father, and genetic tendencies all mixed together. My father was a piece of shit. So he tells me one day that schizophrenia is hereditary and that i'll probably get it. A doctor told him this. So now when you get intuition you start to wonder................am I going crazy? But this is how my father dealt with people he saw lesser then himself in order to keep them in his sphere of control. Always create doubt about everything but him. it did this sorta alan watts thing to me. Worrying about worrying because worrying is known to lead to serious health issues. Now make someone paranoid about being paranoid, then making them paranoid about themselves when there is no reason either in reality or clinically to be paranoid.

[@beandipgirl7151]

Stay strong. There are many things that can cause illness, if anything you could just have anxiety. You got this. Even with bad anxiety I thought I was going “insane”. I thought I needed to go to a hospital and sometimes I’d feel like I’d see something out the corner of my eye. I personally wouldn’t have been surprised if I had schizophrenia because of how reckless I felt. Don’t worry. Trauma even from someone’s words is a huge thing. In the end these experiences will only make you stronger btw.

[@amberfebruary]

I'm sorry you were forced to worry about that. My aunt is the one that stopped me from worrying. She told me that I was too old to worry about having a mental illness. Most people start having symptoms either as teenagers or in their early twenties. After a certain age you can stop worrying because even if it runs in your family the probability is low.

The amount of people who are experiencing homelessness and who also live with schizophrenia is astronomical. No support, no access to treatment, no choice. It's honestly horrifying. So happy that the stigma of mental health illnesses such as schizophrenia are being desensitised. Bravo!

It has been said that about 10% of the worlds population have a third eye/ear - meaning they can see and/or hear spirits. To those who can hear/see spirits - you are NOT crazy, your brain is NOT acting up, the spirits are REAL !! Unfortunately traditional modern medicine which is only about 350 years old, rejects ancient peoples beliefs (of more than 2,000 years) in the existence of spirits. Nowadays, if you tell a schizophrenia patient he might be influenced by spirits, doctors will think you're also CRAZY ! But no amount of DENIAL can negate their existence ! Like it or not ! Spirits communicate by telepathy - mind to mind, that's why ONLY you can see or hear them. Spirits can also DISTORT speech. For example if your friend is talking to you nicely as usual, you'll instead hear him/her MOCKING you, so you'll get ANGRY. That's how spirits make you paranoid & anti-social. They want to isolate you, for themselves !! You're their TOY !! Spirits can also SHAPE SHIFT - appear in ANY form (animal or people) they desire. They can IMITATE other peoples LOOKS and/or VOICES and pretend like real people. Spirits can also produce SOUNDS like knocking on doors, footsteps, crying or screaming people, scratching on walls, police sirens, barking dogs etc. Their plan is to ISOLATE you socially .. for themselves. Make people think you're CRAZY .. even if you re NOT. I've had more than 20 years of this experience so I studied/researched them. I know how and why they operate as such. You can get schizophrenia from various reasons like a serious head injury, use of illegal drugs, practice of black magic, or by experiencing traumatic events like rape, bullying, deadly accident or near-death experience If the problem is spiritual, the solution is also spiritual ! Get close to GOD. I also found out listening to Worship Praise Songs helps block the voices, even drives them far away !! Use a headphone/ earpiece so you don't disturb others. Good luck and Stay Safe.
