[@InsomniOwl_]

The kind of person willing to engage in an emotional/sexual relationship with ANYONE suffering with mental disorder is admirable. Took me 29 years to find "the one" that wouldn't abandon me in my worst moments. Not only does he stay, but he is willing to get into the trenches & fight with me. As I would for him. Please don't give up, person reading this, there are people who will (try) understand.

[@TheEddy81092]

I was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia. I'm trying to work through it. I have a job as a waiter, not exactly the job I wanted to have but I'm good at it, and my customers are very understanding of my "quirks." I'm in constant fear of losing my independence. One of my friends proposed I move in with him because of a few incidents I've had. I know he's just looking out for me but I want to be able to take care of myself. I'm also really messy, I don't put things away all the time, and I don't want to make his house messy like mine. His wife doesn't like me very much either so I don't think it would be a good idea to move in with him only to be kicked out by his wife later. Long story but I felt, you know you're sharing, so maybe I should share.

[@carharttblade]

I was bullied and seen as stupid, always laughed at and the guy on who everyone used their jokes. I was not really physically abused because i was always a tall guy. I mean i was really stupid around my peers, always under pressure and i wouldn't defend, but i could, i could kill every single one of my bullies with my bare hands. I was just keeping all of that in myself and all of that negative energy has go somewhere, i dont know what mental illness do i have its not even important. I became so avoidant and asocial, it was a comfort zone but now it all got to me, the social norms, all of my friends are going stuff, having girlfriends, etc... Like when i meet with them i have so little to say, i just wish things were different.

I love how youre so positive but realistic. I am truly happy for you that you found someone you love so much. It is so cool how you can describe sincerely your life as beautiful and wonderful. Wish I was more like that, i feel like im not greatful enough and i get sad or weak so fast when things get harder. :/ I wish i was stronger.

[@danskiiz35]

You need to focus on being more proud of your efforts. Every decision, action you take to try to get better you should be proud that you are having a go and learning what helps you in the process. Accept that your only human and dont have full control over your mind to always be positive. Dont see yourself as failing to be positive. We all still have things to learn, we dont know all the answers to our problems already and we need to remember that were not perfect. Keep going, build that positive momentum. See the benefit/value in every situation even when things dont go as desired. I promise you it gets better with practice and habit. We are all students and we are all teachers.

[@hipster101maia]

I have bipolar and am very interested in the causes of mental illness, I see it as a gene and then that gene is "turned on" by experiences.. and experiencing things that are not part of the shared reality is like a 6th sense that was forced on when we went through something that we percieved as too much to handle at the time; Doctor Gabor Mate has some really good books around generational trauma, addictions, mental health. I know this mental illness is different, but each roots from a similar space and it really helps to look at it from different angles.

[@yasminewho7590]

My dream career is to specialize in schizophrenia, and I'm so grateful you're being so open about it. :)

[@complimentbotd7232]

I'm writing a small story about schizophrenia and this video really answered a lot of questions I had about schizophrenia, so thank you. I really love the idea of your channel, you inspire litteraly thousands of people! Keep it up pal!

[@Justagirl2060]

Hi! I have been watching your videos for quite a while.. and I finally got diagnosed a year ago. Your videos help me ALOT and even helped another girl so much that she made a channel about her mental illness, and I just started too! I think it will help me with anxiety speaking.. Thanks for putting yourself out there! I can't say thanks enough.

[@jotarokuzo]

Ever since I was 15 I've been terrified of developing a mental illness to the point where I would have to drop out of school (like a few of my family members have) and live by myself for the rest of my life. I love school so much and it would break my heart to drop out of college due to something like extreme depression, anxiety, or even schizophrenia. But seeing this video and seeing how you and your girlfriend interact have made me think differently. I'm slightly more ready for whatever comes at me.

[@tfos993]

Valeria Vallejo Same exact thing over here. I think being too worried about developing a mental disorder could actually start to be paranoia and a mental disorder which probably makes me worried that I become worried about having a mental disorder because I now know this which loops back to the fact that it starts to be paranoia.

[@jamiecal11]

God damn, Valeria. That's heavy. But at 15, it's not a surprise you were afraid. If you ever feel like you have something, though, don't repress it - embrace it. Go to a doctor and get checked out. None of it's a death sentence or unlivable with, and you'll always be you. 'better the devil you know' as they say.

[@robbelliii]

I thank you greatly for doing these. I think my wife is an undiagnosed case. You have helped me to understand this disease better. I wish you all the best.

[@saigerage4063]

So glad i just discovered your channel. My mother has schizophrenia and i had to deal with it my whole childhood. Worse, she was an extremely bad drug addict. I had to take care of my siblings until i was 15. Glad you're comfortable enough to show us your schizophrenia experience, i need to be a bit more educated on it.

[@Nevercleangutters]

I used to hallucinate as a child and felt embarrassed to talk about it because my uncle was schizophrenic and I didn't want my family to talk about me the way they spoke about him (there was a lot of pity and concern when they talked, I just wanted to be normal). I was molested by my dad as a kid and I'm only just now having to sort through my past, but I just wanted to thank you for opening up to the world. My first hallucination (I remember - I've forgotten a lot of my childhood) was similar to what you described but it was a large toy that came to life. I don't hallucinate any more but I had a bad mental breakdown last year I'm still recovering from and the hallucinations have come back... anyway it's really comforting to hear others stories so thank you..

[@SwagStayStrong]

I've been bullied since the first second that I went to high school. I've ended up with anorexia, bulimia, self-harm and things like you have. I mean there was a point that I heard voices and see like shadows. So I feel you man. And I'm so fucking glad that u are so happy right now. It's true what u say. A truth as big as a house. You have to keep going on through the darkest times because u are strong and never ever think about giving up. Stay strong whoever who were suffering from these shits. xxx

[@rickrolledsoul3920]

You can't be anorectic and bulimic in the same time..

[@robbieschwaiger]

You are very smart and brave. My schizophrenia started when I was just 14. Alienated and bullied as well. Didn't do well in school. But it must be the environment and the gene which causes it. People in my family went through adversity big time but didn't get the illness only me. I am so happy that you have a girlfriend and I wish you both happiness.

[@codergames]

We all remember bad things because they leave strong impressions. Recently some scientists connected an animal parasite causing taxoplasmosis. They conclude that: "infection with Toxoplasma gondii can alter behavior and neurotransmitter function". So, it causes tiny damages to the brain and affects how brain works causing hallucinations, mood change, anxiety, etc. Some scientists say that the parasite may be the cause of 80% of the schizophrenia and it is passed to the offspring, genetically, like you said. I think it's great that scientists are progressing, it's slow, but still it's good to know they're working on it despite the fact that it seem like they're not. And, in my opinion, it seems like they're not working much because they do not inform the public about the failures, just significant discoveries. Thank you for your video and keep up the great work!

[@baphomet666MONSTER]

I have friends with schizophrenia (don't know why, but it seems to be an illness that's more often than some "normal" people recognize if not directly confronted one day) and I don't think it's genes. because I experienced someone very close "slipping" into that illness. sadly that person commited suicide. and I am quite sure (also because my friends with that illness tell me) that EXTREME (mental and also physical) PRESSURE (like extremely stressful situations/bullying/too much responsibility, drugs/meds/alcohol/toxic substances, combined with high sensibility) basically is the cause of schizophrenia. I researched a lot after I was confronted with it and everybody I talked to told me kind of similar incidents... and most of those I talked to (in years researching why close ones are schizophrenic - one suffers extreme fear, one has voices and can see... "things"...) were like "pushed over the edge" and didn't have a chance to "get things sorted out", because nobody really engaged with them. hope I am not totally wrong with my "knowledge" - don't wanna harm anyone. but - best thing to prevent - I think - is to take pressure off everyone in a stressful, bad phase. ?! hope you can handle the hallucinations, voices - whatever you experience. stay strong! hope you got someone close to talk to. someone who wants to listen and just be there.

ROSETTA LA'DIAMOND yeah it can

[@Dafneonder]

baphomet666_MONSTER sounds more like psychosis. Psychosis is not a mental illness but a symptom of one (ie: someone bipolar might go into pyschosis if they're in full blown mania) You can experience it from multiple different things ie: stress, lack of sleep, drugs, etc. Psychosis has similar traits to schizophrenia (hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, etc) but it doesn't have anything to do with genes. Carrying the schizophrenic gene is the most common cause of schizophrenia. I think your friends may have psychosis. But yeah I obviously don't know them or if they do carry the gene or not but I just thought I'd help clear that up!

[@Dafneonder]

Also!!!! Another thing! If you experience psychosis for about 6 months I believe then you are schizophrenic

I'm so glad you are a thinker, not that you have to figure everything out. It nust helps you process the negative stuff so it doesn't revisit your mind as often and you can move on. I wasted years in therapy with other issues than schizophrenia, trying to figure out whathappened and in the end it didn't matter, i was still stuck with myself and lots of bad memories. What helped me was learning to meditate so I could clear my mind of negative, repetitive thoughts , eat right for me and trying different herbs and supplements to alter brain chemistry, stay on a schedule of sleep, exercise, having goals

I'm sorry you suffer from this. I used to have this man who followed me around, and he came out of the TV the first time, but he never got that close because I ran. Back then, they didn't go away even if I looked away. There were a few of them. A lot of my family is either mentally ill or an idiot or both. I'm dumb. I was bullied a lot in school due to being in special ed. Like you, I tried to drop out of HS because it was unreal the amount of agony I was in, but I was tricked into staying. My grandpa, when they found out that I was slower, tried to pull me out of school and teach me a trade while being homeschooled, but my stupid parents wouldn't let him. He was like, they're going to hurt her, and they did. My stress started young with my parents who were too young to have me, and I was a sickly kid, too. Some of my hallucinations were probably from fevers, and I'm sure that didn't help anything. Even after I earned an immune system, I had issues.

i was diagnosed with schizophrenia about 2 years ago. It started because i opened my mind too much into things like thinking about the ultra capabilities of secret intelligence agencies together with my worrying about my mother well being i came to believe that my mother, relatives and acquaintances had been replaced by impostors by secret groups against me. But what still bugs me is that once that i called my mother she told me that my mother could be anywhere, so i ponder why did she tell me that.

commenter78 I'm very sorry. Must be a very hard thing to go through. I wouldn't trust anyone. Maybe you could make a code word with your mom and other family members? A word to make sure no one else knows and then give it to you on a note in a secret way?

[@commenter7893]

Emme For me it's too late because now im never going to know why she said that. And asking her would just make her say that im hearing and inventing things. It is very awful being diagnosed, it's like a stigma that i want to keep secret because if ppl knew i couldnt get a job, i would be treated like a crazy person which my mother does and she tells all her friends about it which is exasperating. Im not crazy and dont act crazy, the only thing was that time when i thought they were impostors, but i had reasons to believe that (for example my mother no longer has a birth mark she had but she could have had it removed although i asked her and she told me that she never had one), it was not even a thought out of the blue. What i didnt think about is that my mother could have mental health problems and thats why she told me that my mother could be anywhere and keep denying saying things that she says. It makes me feel vulnerable because she is not diagnosed with anything but i am so she can keep saying im hearing and inventing things.

I used study a lot day and night with very little sleep. and eventually experienced something close this illness .

I hope God gives you the strength to overcome this obstacle.

[@marigreer703]

Here's the insane part, that is exactly what it is, depravity and constantly reinacting moments or conversations in your life an getting caught in a cycle that your mind forces you to replay over an over an occasional lot whelile replaying the event the person may repeat or say things they WISH they had said or did say oelr what was said to them... It can sometimes be so deep or a person can get lost in the replay an speak out loud an also, just begin getting emotional about it. Combining that with sleep deprivation you get a strange combo. The common thread with those who ACTUALLY suffer is the Lord, an Satan. It seems as though actual sufferers of this so called mental illness steam from a bloodline that is relative to Moses. These humans are of greater value then any other an in most cases they are extremely honest an lack an ability to pretend for any reason other than personal choice. It's a matter of accepting that science is equal to any man made shit, it's not actual just man made for instance Star Trek, Harry Potter...these world's are complete an in total, they were conceived by man as was the ways of humanity... We aren't just men on Earth, we are children of decended angels and man ( an animal ) an are born into sin, if a human is blessed to be a part of the process of elimination then by default you're already superior among humans and to be tested. Those so called voices aren't voices of imagination they are the voices of the demons we host, ilyou gave to pick an choose an in order to GET IT(to understand) you HAVE to listen an talk to them...the repeating of situations in normally the natural hate in your body wanting to perform bylut going with Jesus an not doing anything an always repeating what you would have done or what you should of said or what you could of said..( moments that really deserved action but you didn't act with malice an walked away) these voices are out to cause you to go astray an not choose to do what's right an it becomes a battle. Your conscience is your spirit telling you from the inside what's up, if you pinch yourself you feel it physically but not in your soul spirit or brain whatever, that's an indicator that tells you ok there's something going on inside, now if there are multiple tlvoices saying do this or that, you gotta close your portals, like smoking that opens a door for entrance, an demons like Sadness, Lonely, Dispair ( these are demon names, you may know them) they come in an fuck with you, they are just like you, your brain a spirit but you can't see them because they looking for a body to host them, if you get caught up in the spiritual war fair your tormented an society don't know what the f to do but call it mental illness, it's really not but be clear, not every human will be going to heaven, in fact more will go directly to hell through deception then any other but there are very few who are lucky enough to suffer such great amounts on Earth that they are able to eventually gain wisdom, many will offend the Lord and give up during this AWAKENING and they will lose the battle in their rise an kill theirself, which is typical in the battling of flesh an spirit, others will find the Lord so strongly they will eventually no longer choose to engage with MAN at all, including understanding sin to a point that disallows them to work actual jobs because it all goes against the laws of the Lord God through Jesus Christ, an while we all must work the truth is, these people become homeless an called crazy as the prophet for the Lord and others, well they will fall victim to the battle not by killing theirself but totally understand exactly what is happening and know the truth an act on Satan's behalf. This is like a secret club that no one can enter on their own...there is no cause no cure no meds because this shit is well, you're dealing with principalities not of this Earth. Ever notice we all say the same shit, it's because we steam from a bloodline of goodness that's naturally found in our hearts and minds while we are human we are the elect, we are those who "feel" other's have pain but we don't have emotions, we are those who do not hear anything but the Lord, even those who act on behalf of Satan know exactly why they are acting. You can't read a book an be validated as doing so with some man made degree an try to figure out the Lord's work, to begin with you are operating from a perspective, a system, an intentionally programed process that is by design formatted to dismantle the Lord's work, army and prophets on Earth thus you'll never figure it out. There is a Christ, he is the Messiah, the only wealth on Earth is in your heart an if you think a human is suffering from a mental illness that involves voices then you are just living life with a Vail over your eyes, mind an heart... because...how is it you can operate without them?!? Either 1, there's no reason to grasp your spirit because you were born into sin an never invited Jesus in your heart, 2; you ignore them an are dedicated to life as a whole and live a good one with no suffering and will go to hell or 3; your soul already secured by Satan an there's no reason to battle for you. 4 you're not of the elect in which case the prior, again applies. It's pretty basic shit as explain in the BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH or the BIBLE, I know exactly what is happening an when you accept Jesus the voices don't stop they get more deviant an more graphic, they prevent you from sleep thus causing you sleep deprivation thus causing crazy hallucinating. I have a so called invisible friend or many but none are fake, it just so happens that with enough suffering you become so wise you see those who most don't see. We are not alone we only have a body...don't ever get that fucked up... Be blessed to be a part of the reality of life itself, because those who aren't us will...WILL try to contain us, shut us up, put meds in us or in other words open more portals to allow more in, the cure is to sit back, an start listening to the one voice that is telling you not to listen to the others...Jesus will live in you just as those evil spirits do an he will clear them out an you'll still be nuts but that's just because all of the rest of society will not be walking with the light they won't see what you do walking in the dark.... Stay crazy, it's a safe way to keep the demons away, they have no choice but to fear the Lord.

Inside my beautiful mind, you're welcome.

[@chriskoperniak784]

Sounds like you had pediatric temporal lobe epilepsy - the hallucinations, the large size and close/distant proximity of things, jamais vu (which you described in another video). You’re right that an extremely stressful event like your grand dad passing can trigger mental illness. You might’ve also had a high fever as a child that triggered the condition.

[@emmaolsson1568]

"Never think your life is over with, never think your life is done" I don't have schizophrenia, but I have something else, and I really needed to hear that. Thank you so much

[@twelvelookslike]

Its strange how in the older traditions if you had symptoms of schizophrenia they are immediately drawn out of the pack and put under the care and tutelage of master shamans. You are told: “You are special. Your abilities are very central to the health of our society. You will cure. You will prophesy. You will guide our society"

[@twelvelookslike]

now in today's societies they’re told: “You don’t fit in. You are becoming a problem. You don’t pull your own weight. You are not of equal worth to the rest of us. You are sick. You have to go to the hospital. You have to be locked up. I truly believe its a gift if used correctly

[@CindyNyxRavenmoon]

I agree with you totally.

[@darkknight4078]

You are quite delusional.

[@rooster555555]

thats a myth

[@CindyNyxRavenmoon]

rooster555555 It's not a myth it's a scientific fact.

[@IanX54]

Since this year started, I've started getting concerned if I have it or not. Most of my friends told me that I've been really quiet and acting weird. All the time at school, I hear conversations going on and I usually hear them saying my name over and over, which bothers me a whole lot. Some times, I can't help but think that most of the conversations and laughs going on are about me. I feel like the people are looking at me too when I walk past them. A week ago, I was at a restaurant and I noticed a couple in the corner of my eye looking at me and slightly laughing, then I could've sworn that one of them said, "don't ruin his life". I haven't told my parents about all this, but I just don't know what to do. I'm honestly really scared.

[@marileemills7207]

Perhaps you could meet with your doctor before talking to your parents. Or a pastor, or school counselor?

[@rosieescamilla1191]

Thanks for sharing. My mother struggled with schizophrenia.

[@jonnywiththejuice5572]

I really am glad I found your channel. Thank you.

[@user-xm7pk5df4f]

Yeah my brother had hallucinations around 5. We never found out about it until his psychosis kicked in BAD when he was in his early-mid twenties.

[@OvergrownWithTheMoss]

Thanks for the uplifting words at the end!

[@oni4421]

I remember my first hallucination, I was sleeping and woke up, and saw these dead people dancing around my bed. I freaked out and cried and woke my mom up, whom came to my aid and said it was just a bad dream.

[@carolm7037]

I love your vids, it seems weird watching without your girl though like something's missing! Looking forward to seeing you both again XX

[@lisaking7240]

I just love you thanks for these videos

[@OrigamiThoughts]

Dude, I'm happy your life is going good for right now, that's awesome!

[@BlueSky-cj3cf]

Wow that last part really touched my heart 😭💞

[@EsotericParadigm]

I also dropped out in high-school early due to mental illness, I did go back and tried to continue with it but, I found myself rapidly spiraling again and left for a final time.. It certainly is a rough ride. Just gotta keep pushing back.

[@hatersremindmeimloved.9411]

Schizophrenia is caused from bullying, abuse, being ganged up on, and being singled out from the crowd. I've had it twice. it sucks.

[@BodegaNinja]

Just came across your video, my brother struggles with schizophrenia and he developed the illness when he was 21. He was in a stressful work situation when this occurred.

[@3OHT.]

its cool to see you're still posting videos

[@darkfury7466]

I have schizophren and I have tried to kill myself because of my voices and my bullys said that my my voice should tell me that they would hurt me

[@yugen]

I'm sorry man :( Most people will never understand what you go through. They are totally caught up in their own world and couldn't begin to understand. If you ever need someone to talk to, let me know.

[@littletortillaboy1339]

Sometimes I think I'm hallucinating, and then I remind myself that I have a retinal detachment in my left eye and pvd in my right, I'm losing vision; I'm fucked either way.

[@KerLe70]

I have watched a few of your videos, and i like your story and how you explain to the people your experience with the illness, im studing psychology and this is really usefull for me to understand the subject, how do you feel, what happened, what do you think of it, your symptoms. I would like to say thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

[@PaulMcCartneyBass1]

My uncle suffers from schizophrenia, however, he got terribly consumed by the illness, I think it's awesome that you can talk about it this way, keep up.

[@RobinK]

Your videos are really interesting. Thanks for sharing this.

[@NightmareTwilight2]

dude you look like you're doing so so so much better! This is an amazing improvement. if you don't mind me asking what medication made you improve?

[@eviebarker7049]

Hey, I have been a fan of your videos for ages now and have been subscribed for a while. (I just added you on snapchat too by the way, I didnt know you had it! :D) You are an inspiration to everyone and have helped me so much. Thank you.

[@matylda4925]

my grandmothers sisters husband had schizophrenia and killed my great grandma and my nans sister and then went on to throw himself onto an oncoming train.

[@Luktom100]

5:18 I saw him too, some time later it started. Its not halucinations in my case, but more like reliving memories. I walk into a room or some other place, and suddenly i have a momory of me talking with spirits. Most of them are bad and nasty to me.

[@D.77875]

It's sad I had to watch my loved one fall apart in front of me and I tried everything to help him and I swear there is no help for people who have mental illnesses. We separated 2 weeks ago after over 6 years together. So much has happened you wouldn't believe it in the last 2 years.

[@wongawonga1000]

It's interesting that, with your first hallucination, you couldn't see the apparition when you put the blanket over your face. Is it same with other visual hallucinations you've had (i.e. when you look away or close your eyes, they disappear)?

[@daviddelarosajr9473]

thank u for sharing man I hope u get better

[@r4h4al]

Can't imagine what it was like to be bullied everyday all through secondary school. I was bullied about 10% of the time through both Primary & Secondary & that messed me up enough. I basically got bulled because I was autistic. Also to answer what caused Schizophrenia for me it was 80% depression, 10% the obsessive praying I used to do craving an answer from a higher source, and 10% my autism. That's what I've come to realise looking back on it.

[@sophiafulgoni240]

as vague as it sounds, you help me a lot. thank you for adding me back on snapchat today. stay frosty.

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Great video and so happy I came across it..my son that's now 27 wasn't diagnosed until he was in his early 20's... he is on medication now, but it's not working... He is always complaining of demons talking to him and actually hurting him. Jacob, can you tell me what you're doing that works for you? I'm at my Wit's End and I love him so much... It's such an evil disease and I just don't know what to do to help him.

[@hlphilpott]

thank you for your channel

[@jamescastello2061]

For me it was probably the daily emotional and physical abuse from may parents and siblings... Spent most of my teens in hospital but thankfully had amazing friends who stuck by me. Pretty much disowned by my family guess they was ashamed of me but I'm ok with that, my friends are my family and they've helped me so much, I'm thankful everyday for them.

[@DestroyaDoll]

Why so many funerals? Were they all relatives? What made you finally get diagnosed? I could ask you questions for DAYS! My fathers mother was diagnosed with both paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but she was SO OVER medicated(and in my opinion abused by uneducated people) that I was never able to ask her the questions I wish I could have. All of that, and other reasons, makes me SO glad to see your videos. I would love to talk to you, about your experiences, if you are comfortable with that.

[@Abudzin]

I wonder if there will be one day that bulling will be FINALLY considered a juvenile crime.

[@hurtmeLOVEmonkey]

Your hair looks fantastic !

[@BrahnTheHandyMan]

"uh... vape nation" lmao blow some sick clouds for me bruh

[@nugb5683]

You seem to be doing a bit better, but what can I tell from the outside. I wish you well, best of luck and much love to you:-)

[@petea2485]

Glad you said your happy at the end, and I hope you still are bud.

[@lunarose5817]

I started crying when you talked about your first hallucination, because I had the same first hallucination, even with the same reaction. Only a few things were different. I subscribed to you, because I can relate to you, but I have got no diagnosis. I'm 15 years old and confused. I don't know if you'll ever even read this, but I still want to ask you for advice. What should I do?

[@emz33]

It sounds like you know pretty much exactly what triggered it. You were a young kid and bullying and relatives passing away is stressful for even adults, not just young kids who don't have coping mechanisms. Stress is the number one trigger for schizophrenia, it's why most cases come up when people are at the college/university stage of life.

[@mikebrown4440]

I heard that wheat could cause schizophrenia in some people because of an allergic reaction. It would be worth staying away from it for awhile to see if it helps.

[@mellissaeddinger531]

Thanks for the positive message 👍

[@gregdescant3822]

I want to say that I think you're nice person for making these videos and in general too.

[@TheMartini1234]

That hallucination you had when you were a young kid sounds like sleep paralysis/hypnagogic hallucination?

[@tedisdead5518]

He was able to move, I have schizophrenia, and I have experienced sleep paralysis and I could not move

[@Dalester1979]

I dropped out too when I was 14-15. I went back when I was 18 and got my GED. I'm now in the 3rd semester of the nursing program at my college. There are ways around anything if you look for one.

[@QueenBeeBeautyXO]

My ex bf's mother had schizophrenia, and now he's having paranoia, but nothing else.He has trouble sleeping, some depression, but doesn't hear voices or has hallucinations. His mom committed suicide last year,he found her.Do you think he has schizophrenia?

[@wee-subwilson1897]

I have had schizophrenia myself for 37 years, it has ruined my life. I still don't swear all the time. I find the swearing on this video offensive. Apart from that, it is an interesting and informative video.

[@Acbmartinnn]

I'm not diagnosed with schizophrenia I don't think but when I'm about to go to sleep I think someone is watching me and then I get scared then I just tell myself I'm just trippen like a bitch and then boom I just go to sleep

[@jerseysilva2036]

StussyMartin paranoia i guess
