Psychosis at 14?! | My First Hallucinations

[@Jabafish]

I also had psychosis from the age of 14. I got full blown psychosis and went to a psych ward for 8 months. It's very rare, and I almost never hear people talk about it. Make it a conversation!

[@isu.f.osevenathing4932]

Psychosis isn't a mental illness so no you didn't have psychosis you were psychotic... Psychosis is a mental state you go into from mental illness or drugs (sometimes even stress) so you either have a current mental illness that triggers psychosis or it was triggered by something else but you didn't have psychosis

[@amys0482]

​@@isu.f.osevenathing4932 This is semantic hairsplitting. Psychosis is a noun. Psychotic is an adjective.

I have a hallucination similar to how you explained your first one. Their name is Artemis, and they have helped me through breakdowns. I really appreciate having them around. :) I started having hallucinations and delusions back in 2021. With all the voices in my head I genuinely believed I was splitting into more people. These voices have their own personalities and everything. (All except one, he's just a nasty voice) Loved how you explained internal vs external hallucinations. Sometimes I doubt I hear voices and that they're just thoughts and its nice to have a refresher. ♡

So glad to help! And it’s really cool to hear you have a good one too. It’s a misconception that all voices are bad and it’s nice to hear I’m not alone in my own self-made good influences. Thanks!

How can you hear a voice - auditory hallucination if its sound like thoughts and its not audible? I dont understand

[@lattysmart]

@@Fox45-q7bthey don’t sound like thoughts, they sound like voices. Like voices that are not yours. But seeing as they’re coming from inside your head and not outside, you can rationalise it to yourself quite easily as someone who is in denial or just doesn’t know. I didn’t know auditory hallucinations could be internal until very recently, I thought they were always external. That’s why I would make myself believe I was just somehow making up these voice myself and that they must be thoughts.

I don't hear many people's experiences that are related to hallucinations, and everything I have heard was on TV, so it's probably not the best way to hear others' experiences. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your journey. I appreciate your vulnerability and honesty.

[@shushrii]

Thank you for talking about internal hallucinations, nobody ever talks about it! I’ve tried looking for more information on them but all I usually find is external. I used to think I had a type of schizo-disorder, but turns out it was just DID. I still experience psychosis, I’m not sure what the root of it is, whether it’s from some type of schizo-disorder or just PTSD. Honestly I’m too scared to find out and seek diagnosis for it, the world is shit, especially to the mentally ill and I don’t wanna be diagnosed with any more issues. If I am then I’ll have to confront them. Which I’m afraid will lead to even more patronization and disbelief from “professionals” who are too out of their depth, scared, or ignorant to help me. Sorry this ended in rant, I got worked up as I wrote this, but I genuinely enjoyed your video! Thank you for talking about these things

[@SchizoKitzo]

The lack of information on internal hallucinations definitely contributed to me not getting help sooner! Like if I knew they were a thing, I probs would have been diagnosed sooner. So comments like this are why I made content on them. Best of luck with your journey, and I’m glad you know you’re not alone!

I too was fourteen when my hallucinations started. It was so scary because I would hear insults said in foul language inside my head and I couldn’t make them stop.Being a Christian I prayed and asked God to set me free but it lasted a whole summer long. Then it suddenly stopped and only came back the summer after. Had I known medication could help I would have talked about it to a doctor but I had no idea what was happening to me.Thank you for being so open about your experience.

It's very strange how much our western "schizophrenia" has in common with the eastern "shamanism." I also learned about how schizophrenia and autism are closely related, and how both of those groups are much more likely to experience psychic abilities and telepathy than "regular," neurotypical people. It's really fascinating. 🤔

[@joeking433]

Yeah, I can relate. I knew when my father died out of the blue. I started pacing and had this really strong urgent panic that I had to leave work and go see my parents. It was overwhelming for about a half hour but I couldn't leave! And then my mother called me that night and said my dad had died of a massive heart attack at about that same time. And I've had hallucinations where when my mother was dying my brother looked me right in the face and said, "I'm going to dye your hair black in the casket". But of course he never said that.

[@JeffreyWilliams-dr7qe]

Same Brain right!

[@PauliJotinas]

I would like to learn more about this. Are there books you read that you could recommend?

[@darkstarr984]

Whoa! All the internal stuff took me intentionally making them for months and even years intentionally to get to a stage where they’d happen on their own. It is different than internal dialogue. They basically replaced all the negative experiences I had previously over my teens, and I had started doing this when I was 5. Which is why my mom thought I had a disorder, but apparently it’s not considered one for me, but I have also never been evaluated for autism despite ticking all the boxes in the DSM-5 criteria.

[@aaronengland5622]

I'm not exactly sure when mine kicked in but I was pretty young. thing that got me was sometimes mine were actual spirits and despite being very aware of my mental health issues and what they appeared to be I was like "nah, I'm not crazy" cause there was actually something there sometimes lol. Like other people would see the same things. the most trustworthy one for me though was my dog reacting to the same nothing I was reacting too in the same way. Like I felt something was watching me in a specific area and that it was very malevolent in nature and for several minutes I'm just like "no, there's nothing there" and then my dog suddenly gets up and looks in the same direction and also starts freaking out. like you could tell she was actually terrified and my thing was "wait, I can't talk a dog into thinking it saw the same thing I did" so for me that was more trustworthy than when people witnessed things I was seeing. Unfortunately, I put off seeking any kind of treatment for a LONG time because I was just like "nah, I see spirits. not schizo, just gifted" lol.

[@denelian116]

Way too long after you posted - I'm sorry for your loss of a foundational relationship. I was taught, back when I was a psych major (before I had to drop out) that the *reason* the various "schizo" disorders are so difficult is because _perception IS reality._ Even now, after accepting you have schizo- affective disorder, it appears that you feel that they're as real as they ever were. This is the first video of yours I've come across, so I know nothing further of what you shared (about to fix that) but I can still feel for you the loss you must feel. (And be just a smidge jealous - I have PTSD which *occasionally* means some terror- laden hallucinations, and many meds that don't affect others that way cause me to hallucinate, but, ya know, the same PTSD terror. The ONLY not terrifying hallucination I've ever had was med induced - I had a VIBRANT Tony The Tiger floating in the center of my vision for over 3 days once. And no it was not the normal "please knock me out everyone looks like a monster and there are HUNDREDS of them", it still kept me from functioning for those 3 days (I could not SEE ANYTHING but Tony. I couldn't read or watch TV or _anything._ It was less bad, but yeah)) Anyway, thank you for sharing (my step mother is paranoid schizophrenia, and I think my step sister is developing it, so I found you doing research into what it's like, because I'd like to help them...) and I'm off to watch more!

[@SchizoKitzo]

Enjoy the vids! ^_^

[@gckinsey]

I really enjoyed this one! The way you explained internal vs. external auditory hallucinations was super clear & helpful. And your description of hearing voices in your head also helped clarify the difference between hallucinations vs. an internal monologue (which I could see being a point of confusion for a lot of people). It was fascinating to learn about your first experience with an internal auditory hallucination. Twilight sounds like he was an awesome friend, and after hearing your story about him, I understand why you were sad to lose him, even though you later came to realize and accept that he was just the result of a chemical imbalance in your brain. If I'd had someone like him around in my head, I would miss him too! It was also super interesting that your mom thought of him as an angel. Having grown up & lived my life in the Bible belt, I know what you mean about the line between religion and psychosis being blurred (and have seen multiple friends & family members blur that line in various ways). So I can see how that would pose a challenge to you getting the help you needed. Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting (and very personal) story!

[@SchizoKitzo]

It took me SO LONG to figure out how to explain that my voices were like thoughts that didn’t belong to me. Like in the years leading up to when I actually realized I was hallucinating, I could never put into words what I was experiencing. What’s interesting is that I do have an internal monologue because I’ve grown up thinking and having conversations the whole time. So I don’t know how to not think in words! I just don’t always get opinions now 😂 But I definitely have had plenty of people over the years ask me what the difference is between my voices and a internal monologue, and I basically tell them that the voices are there as part of the monologue in their own way, but they don’t sound like me or act like me and I cannot control them. Then they usually go “ohhhhh” So I’d like to believe I’ve gotten better at explaining it. Maybe I will make a video to explain more in depth! Anyways, enough rambling, thanks for sharing your thoughts, GC! I love your comments

[@kindlin]

I've had a distinct kind of internal auditory hallucination a few times, and thankfully only a few times, because it sounds like a large group of angry people all yelling to be heard -- not yelling at me or anything in particular, mind you, just yelling. And there are so many different voices they make a wave, a kind of pressure in my head. It's never lasted long, kind of builds up and goes away over a few minutes, a few times an hour or for a few days and then maybe years later. I think it's becoming less common, it's been maybe a year since the last feeling, and a couple years before that. Anyways, this video definitely got me thinking about these episodes. I know I have some kind of mild/undiagnosed autism/ADHD, and might as well add psychosis to the list as well.

mine is a girly voice but its actually very kind though still annoying. she keeps on saying sorry when I watch the hallucination simulation.

[@dtr_cpg]

Thank you for the description. I hear my thoughts sounding in different voices, mostly male ones, but I am a girl. Sometimes these thoughts tell what I, personally, don't agree with, but other times they tell just random staff and sound like they are drunk. I thought it was common experience though. I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, but I couldn't understand, why. I hear external hallucinations rarely and don't think that in my case they are due to the disease, because they are usually after sleep deprivation or in the hypnagogic period, which is normal. They are less annoying and much more beautiful (psychedelic) though. These external ones are sounding like nothing in consensus reality. very crisp, and with a reverb thing.

[@SchizoKitzo]

It’s interesting how my internal ones are also so totally different from my external ones as well. When it started being external I would have thought I’d just hear what went on on the inside outside but that wasn’t the case. I hope you have a good day!

[@AtheistBassist]

I like the names of your others, cuz mine are former coworkers of mine. There was chief, with the distinct thick upstate new york accent, there's C, with his snarky Chicago accent and comments on my every move and tells me how to be sketchy, and then there's B, with a insidious monotonous voice. When I'd try telling some sea stories to the VA, C's voice would pop up and interrupt my thought with "ok now you're just making shit up" . B's favorite phrase to say was "he's faking it".

[@SchizoKitzo]

I have voices that comment like that too! The making up things etc… like making me doubt myself and lose confidence. It’s the worst! Even if I know they’re lying to me it’s still frustrating in the moment. Also, sea stories sounds really fun! I’m sure you have some good ones. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly I’ve been down the DID path myself in all of this, and I actually thought that’s what they were years ago! But yeah, big difference between that and schizo disorders but it’s a relatable fear. So, you’re not stupid :)

[@zedbody]

its so funny you brought up saying “I think in conversations” as an excuse because… I DO think in conversations, that’s the only way I think, it’s always talking to someone. But I don’t think it’s a voices thing because a) I don’t usually quite hear the responses, I just know what it is, and b) it’s not just one person, though I don’t really consciously get to decide who, it’s usually people I know. As much as I try I just haven’t been able to think only to myself - the “internal monologue” thing doesn’t make sense to me because I literally don’t know how to do that! (though, I do have at the very least tendencies towards weird and maybe psychotic Things, and nobody I’ve talked to knows what I mean about dialogue. maybe its a general messy brain situation)

[@scoshyyyy]

This video has me considering if I have voices. I’ve previously explained it as compartmentalisation, thinking in conversation as you said, as anxiety or adhd, both of which I’ve been diagnosed with. But it’s always been more separate from my thoughts than that. Sometimes it’s part of a sentence and doesn’t quite get through, especially if I’m talking to someone or focused on something. I spend ages trying to figure out what that sentence was going to be which wouldn’t make sense if it was coming from my brain. I clearly found this at the right time. The clearest voice I’ve ever had is my godfather, who died a few months ago and has been in my head the past few days since my mum kicked me out. He only says “it’s okay” or “you’ll be ok” when I’m stressed out, sometimes when something irritating happens, even if i barely noticed it, he’ll start swearing at it but it still comforts me because it is his voice, his mannerisms, his tone. I even feel him, like how you described feeling twilight. His presence is there. I’m very spiritual and while I’d like to believe he is (positively) haunting me, it may be the start of something more serious as I’m at a very high-stress point in my life.

[@jessicaandmat]

I have this condition also, I've heard voices for as long as I can remember, internal voices and only years later did I find out not everyone had this experience. My voices got me through the hardest parts of my life but when I was doing well the voices would break me back down until my life was always hard. Medication broke the cycle but I must admit, when things are getting real and hard, i miss them... but not enough to go back... never

[@TibiSum]

Awe, listened to the rest. DID is fundamentally different, but does provide a space from which empathy is easily accessed with regard to these beings you describe. Humans are not born as one self and we sort of try selves on as we adapt to the world around us in early childhood development and are generally expected to begin to integrate into one self at around 7 or 8. With DID that process fails to happen, meaning that the fragmented selves can start to exist on their own and new fragmentation can continue to occur. My selves are actually real, but because we were developed to address trauma, it's still necessary for us to work together in order to be a healthy system in one body. We each have developmental delays because we came along at certain times and have not integrated to one self. But I do relate to having people inside to talk to. For me, that happened way later, when we became coconscious, rather than having only one alter front with the rest shoved back in headspace. I love them all, even the very, very old ones who are still a bit scary in presentation. I have had everyone go into headspace and freeze me out and it's beyond painful. Despite the differences, these are survival adaptations and began in childhood to assist us in our overwhelm. So whether or not they are "real" is secondary to what they mean to us, so long as we are able to maintain a reasonable amount of control, for the sake of safety. I def think you are allowed to miss them. For you, they have been fully realized friends and would have their own personality and nuance. And again, they were developed in a child brain that required their support. The fact that they don't exist in the world does not diminish memory of them. I'm glad you can see them for what they are, both as how they helped you when seen as real and how it is helpful now to fact check psychosis now. It's super important to fact check. Safety first. Always. But yeah, we can love our openness to experience as well. We don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

[@KevDiver]

Another good one! Thanks for sharing your experience. Surprising how it manifests in kids. I never knew.

I never knew either 😂 jokes aside, it was early onset, but I’ve heard of people getting psychotic symptoms even younger than that. I have a long running theory that I was having symptoms when I was even younger, but they were few and far between so they don’t really “count”, because when twilight showed up it was happening all the time from then until well, now basically. Big difference. Thanks so much!

[@HarryScholar-ut1lv]

I am also a survivor of Schizoaffective disorder. My main symptoms are wild mood swings and delusional thinking. I had not been diagnosed until I was 34. This had been because in 1999 I expected the end of the world in 2000. So, I had this delusional belief that if I joined the US Military, I would be sent to the battle of Armageddon and my life would end like a war hero. I joined the US Navy on December 1, 1999. I had a complete breakdown within 15 hours of arrival at US Navy boot camp in January 2000. Spent the rest of my time in the psych ward Naval Hospital Great Lakes. 51 days later I was entry level separated from the US Navy. I have been on anti psychotic and anti depressant medications since.

thank you so much for sharing this ❣️ just out of curiosity... Have you ever tried to get Twilight to return? i feel like maybe since he was the first, and he began turning his back after more came, maybe he felt the space became too crowded & he could no longer have his connection with you. Especially with Orion seeming to dominate the space where he was once the only one. Have you ever tried to make the others leave and have just Twilight return? Are you able to communicate with them in these ways? (i know you can't exactly control them, and they just appear, but have you ever tried to have authority over who gets to be there in some manner?) also since Twilight was seemingly a helpful one, has he ever tried to give you advice on making the others leave? or warning about them? (this is less important, but im also curious about what Orion & Twilight's arguments were about, and what the dialogue between them consisted of)

This is a really interesting aspect .. Now I can't understand , my head is full of thoughts to and I always have inner conversations though it's in my own voice , sometimes it's guilty thoughts that just eat my head off and other times it's impulsive , and it's like not having any names and when I just tell them to shut up they do.. Now i don't understand are there inner voices/ thoughts or internal auditory hallucinations?

[@Welsh_Aussie]

Inner conversations is your inner dialogue which everyone does. If you think about it, anyone can make up A conversation in their head and even imagine what the other person may say back to you, and sometimes you may even imagine it in their tone. That’s just an imaginary rehearse conversation. I’m not schizophrenic but I think the difference with internal hallucinations is that the sound of the voice originates from inside the head rather than outside the head and it sounds like a separate entity speaking directly to you. In other words the voice sounds real but it’s just inside the head but still heard as a real voice, and not silently like an inner dialogue/monologue.

@@Welsh_Aussie oh , this is such a nice explanation , thank you so much for clearing this up, I suffer from major depression so mostly I have guilt thoughts ,but sometimes these thoughts start coming in a continous non stop flow manner which becomes little difficult to bear So to clear up I asked, Thanks again 😊

I’ve seen myself dead so many times with hallucinations.

[@JeovenileDelatorre]

I got external auditory hallucination and they dont tell me theyre names. You dont have to actually talk to cummunicate with them , you can talk to them in your head like a telepathy.

[@DrJoshuaJ]

My first hallucinations were a product of sleep Deprivation and hearing a voice inside my head just before falling asleep. That’s not psychosis, which you characterize very similar to my own experiences.

[@emmaeassom1921]

Thank you for sharing sorry similar experience where I built a friendship that then turned against me

[@SchizoKitzo]

It’s hard stuff, sorry you had to go through that and I hope things are better now!

[@valariemgutierrexa.k.a.map6085]

I get rid of my schizophrenic symptoms by seeing the voices ( hallucinations) in person, "hear" IN Toronto....no medication required. They look worse in real life.

[@unfortunate.spaghetti]

there is a voice in my head that doesn’t belong to me and they claim to be sent from somewhere (they won’t tell me) but they say they are there to stop me from killing myself (as i have very heavy suicidal ideation). but them trying to help isn’t helpful. they will resort to any measure to make me feel better in my mind (they tell me to harm myself and others). i don’t listen to them but they also constantly tell me everyone hates me and they are the only one who will ever understand me because they are inside my mind. i feel it is very detrimental to my health. anyway, i was wondering if this is normal or could it possibly be a symptom of psychosis?

[@TheA-Hoopers]

I've had psychosis for as long as I can remember.

[@caineelliott7039]

Damm straight away see it's so relatable see mine was my protector he was trying to protect me from my dad and people, knew everything about me saw all the pain I was in but it would say things to do to stop things from happening but weirdest thing was everything it ever said would happen if I ignored what he said it happened the way it said it would but the weirdest thing is it would tell me who's behind me tell me what their dressed like if they are riding a bike it was so fucking real like a actual person who tried his best to protect me get me away from situations but then created the worse one I ever had making me loose the only person who truly cared about me the only one who spent enough time to realise I hear a thing but when I lost her my brain became psychologically damaged that created a new thing it destroyed my protector replaced it with a animal creature part that's part of who I am but I feel how damaged drenched in its own blood almost completely feral from fear pain and lack of human communication which has now made it almost impossible to live in society because I have a savage nature when hostility and aggression is presented to me I think the part that is that animal is what's left of my protector I think, just it has control over me now I'm extremely impulsive now so I can stop it from coming out using some sort or chemical to stop what's ever goes on in my head but I tried to get sorted for years ago to be worse off, starting trying again just recently but I keep thinking it ain't gonna work still don't know what's the right place what to do because I'm completely uncivilised I'm a natural person have a completely different thought process but I hallucinate more now days seeing stuff but don't really hear things anymore just sounds knocking shouts sometimes like a beginning or end of a mighty scream or when I do have interactions with people idk I'll hear completely different to what's said which if I have bad days I ditch the appointments I have because of that

[@HappyIslam]

I am sorry for you. my aunt had schizophrenia too. In addition to what your therapist told you, try the following: As muslims , we believe in one creator named ALLAH. Shouting Allah is the greatest and he is the most merciful alot until your inner brain memories it. Try to be conscious as much as you can during sunrise and sunset. Stop drugs and alcohol. Free advice from a human to his brother.

[@haphazard_traveller]

my issues began around age 4 with seeing small creatures that looked like grey aliens in my room, playing with my toys. i would end up screaming and my mom said I was having night terrors. i had horrifying nightmares throughout childhood. in my early teens i began seeing shadow figures (not always scary) and hearing a terrifying voice in the phone. sometimes my friend would hear it. she is neurotypical with some issues of depression. i had an attack in my bedroom in which my bed was banging against the wall and a voice was mocking me for calling out to jesus. in the end i was diagnosed as having petit-mal seizures and put on meds. the symptoms went away. in 2015 i had a really weird experience smoking weed and that's when the voices began, intermittently. in 2015 i turned 31. by summer 2019 they were unbearable. what do you think about people who claim the experiences they have are a result of psychic abilities? do you believe in psychic abilities? when i hear my voices, i say their words along with them. they get so mad "why can't you listen???" idek man

do you have any advice for someone who thinks they might be hallucinating? i have been having a very similar experience to what you describe, although, much less intense and frequent.

is twilight give you new info ? like things you didnt know ?

[@exlipse3813]

i have a question: how did you know you didnt have alters or it wasnt plurality? do you feel like it was obviously different to you?

[@SchizoKitzo]

Well i wondered, in the beginning, but I didn’t have massive gaps in my memory, was always me all the time according to everyone I knew, and the voices were very…. Simple. While they do have personalities, their “memories” are the same as mine. Finally, DID typically happens in childhood, during the ages of 7-9 when personalities are forming. My symptoms as I knew them started when I was 14 and I don’t have evidence before that. Hope this helps! It’s a good question!

Interesting I wonder if this diagnosis you received if you were assessed again in 2024 perhaps elsewhere if you would be diagnosed the same. I feel that it might be different now.

[@Jeffei-qs7kp]

This means my old fashioned slide show run through a 80s vending machine is not hearing voices.

[@HarryScholar-ut1lv]

An additional note: some of you may wonder why I was not diagnosed until I was age 34. That is because I had a basic background in psychology and for the most part of I had been able to hide my psychotic symptoms.

[@beckykeeler1789]

All my voices to are good, I don't care what people think of them. They are the good friend everyone would love to have. And I believe they are from God being a Christian. Because they have helped me through the worst of time in my schizo affective disorder. I think one of them is actually God. They keep me moving to being not only a better person, but help me to get through problems,and sorrow.

[@Arlene_witha_y]

A part of me wonders if this person you hear is your past life human body. Or some sort of spiritual guide.

[@Mishalalzahrani_]

Internal auditory hallucinations, nice... One psychiatrist wondered if I'm psychotic or not, like genuinely worried after I answered that I have ****al ideation whilst smiling (ikr). So, can schizoaffective be that with MDD? Thanks

[@SchizoKitzo]

SO schizoaffective disorder has two types, depressive and bipolar. The depressive type (which I think is what you might be referring to) is when the mood disorder side resembles that of major depression. Psychosis still has to happen with and without a mood episode to be diagnosed schizoaffective. Talk to a doctor about it if you have specific questions about you!

You and me both!

[@lucianaromulus1408]

@SchizoKitzo I'm so fascinated by your case specifically (though admittedly I just found your channel) since it seems you have many positive experiences with your voices. I suppose its unhealthy of me to ask, though me not having any form of schizophrenia just has me SO curious, I guess I'd want to hound Twilight what happened lol do or did they all have very specific personalities ? I wonder if there's any relation to the Condition of DID? I have so many questions. Though I suppose it's obviously no fun for you, especially if you can't just, turn it off.

[@Morenob1]

@@alpage9306 Schizophrenia is caused by having your 3th dream eye opened either by drug use, or by having an rh negative bloodline, which make you able to see interdimensional beings what people call aliens these days or hybrids but are from an overlapping dimension like the hat man or shadow figures. Strange creatures like black blobs are bodiless creatures that project themselves to you based on your own memories like an awake dream.

was it truth only people get high have induces psychosis ??!!

I don't think it works that way, I think there is some evidence more people who do drugs end up hearing voices than people who have never done drugs but not everyone who gets psychosis has got high
