You deserve way more subscribers. People need to understand what Schizophrenia is. They need to stray away from the way the media portrays people with Schizophrenia.

I agree ..so Subscribe me guys !!

Dude you're so positive even through your struggles. Love your vids 💙

I'm shook by the placement of your lamp on that table

[@becks5135]

I'm really glad KZbin has helped you 😊

[@Haliotro]

Jacob, this is my favorite video of all of yours I think. Very insightful. I think you are doing such a fantastic service to society. this video is such a great example of the unique insights you can provide for people who have not had schizophrenia and for clinicians who should understand the illness and medications., Also, you seem to be doing so well. Hope you're well and continuing to look to the future and improve . thank you so much!

[@lisaking7240]

I love you jacob you have helped me through alot I watch you alot . My son Chad 4 years ago at age 19 committed suicide with this illness. My aunt Rachael in her 60s now has schizophrenia also. No one ever talked about it in the family which I wish they would have so I would have known more about it. I watch the videos because I have grandkids and two daughters I hope they never get this cause there is a percentage. Keep up the great work. You are helping so many people. You are a wonderful guy.Thanks for everything you do.

[@godprovides1727]

I was unaware of how similar Schizophrenia and Bipolar 1 are. I don't feel alone at all while watching you. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed last night.

[@bonzo6801]

I love your videos. I'm happy that KZbin gives you purpose and you are doing something important by sharing your experience. Your positive attitude about life is also very inspiring.

[@KerLe70]

You are lovely :3 I apreciate so much your videos because I learn a lot about your illness and how it works, everything you say it's like gold for me, i just want to say thank you, Jacob.

[@Sweetirishwhispers]

I'm so glad that you talk about the serious stuff. Thanks for speaking about meds. I hope that you stay well xx

[@louisswitzer538]

You see pal, I've been in and out of mental hospitals for depression. The mental hospital doctor assumed that my "voices" (more of thoughts in someone else's voice) was a coping mechanism with my grandma's death. Then after I got out, I got a therapist, I told him about the voices and he suggested I talk to my medical Doctor, and then I got ahold of risperidone. I've had sleep issues, I sleep for 3 hours, then after I wake up, I get a dose of adrenaline. But with the meds, I still wake up, but I don't get adrenaline. So then it's easy for me to get back to sleep. Stay safe, and sane.

[@JenJett]

Love To Hear You Vent !,,,GLAD YOU FOUND THE RIGHT MEDICATION !!!!!!GREAT INFO !!!!!😻

[@recuperetrecovery6639]

You say that Schizophrenia prevents you from knowing what is real and what is imagined, but I think it prevents us from seeing ourselves and how we relate to the world and how we see ourselves. Voices are simply our own thoughts that register as someone else and the voices of others register as threatening. Doing KZbin videos and blogging has helped me to see myself and how I relate to others in the world and has helped me to love myself, and intern, it has helped me to love others more and not think so lowly of others.

[@MissVioletSage]

I'm so glad you have given a voice to so many & hopefully this is therapeutic for you, you help so many people. 🌙. Tat looks rad! I have 5 myself. :) never bothered me either. Kinda therapeutic in itself! Great video ++++

It's so cool that KZbin has helped you out, and I hope that everything keeps getting better for you. I'm glad I found this channel so I can finally have some sort of understanding as to what schizophrenia does to people. By the way, you are quite handsome, and your tattoo is wicked nice!

[@levigreen2487]

you are amazing. i wish. that you met my son, who es squizo afective and dosent want take meds. i am very woory for him.

[@tobyteddy100]

Jacob it is incredible to see you in this video. I've subscribed to you for a while but haven't watched many videos of yours recently. When I first subscribed, I remember your videos were so long because you had difficulty organizing your thoughts and expressing your points. Watching you talk in this video shows your incredible growth! I hope you continue to do well and grow your channel! Xxx

[@davanbrown6561]

I think there is a cure for schizophrenia

hi Jacob! I have schizoaffective disorder and if really appreciate if you could talk about bipolar disorder in one of your videos? I think you have a good way or explaining things x

[@tink040370]

Cool tattoo Jacob. I'm so glad you take medication and that it works well for you. Thanks for your input about schizophrenia. I think you help tons of people in your videos.

[@Guap303]

Stumbled across your account and have watched a few of your videos I have to say I admire your openness and awareness of your condition. I have an aunt who has severe schizophrenia as well as multiple personalities, But the Odd thing that seems to be common is that she is not aware that she has a mental illness she says we are all the ones who are wrong. My question to you is how do you stay so level minded and how are you able to be so aware of your condition and take your medicine which I'm assuming you do? Great videos by the way! new sub.

[@kristyontiveros6748]

Hi, I am so glad I found your video, I love the way you speak, you make schizophrenia a lot more understandable, I wish for many many people to see your videos, you are so inspirational & def have a gift of speaking & using your illness to help others, your amazing!I would lile ro email you please with some questions.Thank you!

[@blakethesav9999]

Thank you for this , Your gonna help save my brother !!

Hi thank for the Information. My son is having a hard time.he won't take his Medication..its so hard

[@afunkymonkey8448]

how did you realize you were schizophrenic? my brother is schizophrenic & he just seems so disassociated, you can't even have a conversation with him. my family is trying to get him help but good mental help is really hard to get where I live

[@twalsh1801]

thanks for sharing. you speak in a very relatable and natural manner.

[@dantescooo]

Thank s for the video.good info

[@Dm-ni7ti]

Hey jacob. I'm curious since you are a youtuber, do you watch other youtubers? In the area of mental health or otherwise? love the channel btw.

[@sumineset]

May i know what is the name of the medicine you are taking that does not cause weight gain?

[@chrissantos3415]

Thanks for your videos brother i know someone very special to me whom i love soo much that has the symptoms you mention an its hard because theres so much confusion due to the family misleading with their personal diagnosis mostly spiritual. But thank God she is on meds at the moment and i talk to her she told me what medication she is taking and it confirmed what i thought. I hope she can get to your level of understanding it sux i cant see her leave again

[@ShopWornFairy]

Does pain (like getting a tattoo) activate any of your symptoms?

[@Section8dc]

This is some real ass shit you're talking about, I used to live with a guy named Michael and he had it as well, he used to talk to different personalities in his head, he was the nicest guy though and every one loved him, he used to hate to take the medication cuz he said he liked the personalities lol, we used to have a lot of fun and you remind me a lot of him, very intelligent and aware of your illness, he hated it as well and we used to get drunk and he would tell me about it lol, it gave me a huge insight into how horrible every day life can be for people that have it, and how strange and abstract it is as well.

[@jacknimble8723]

diet excercise and the woods helped me.

[@zach.8438]

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia six months ago and I've come to realize and except my problem head on by myself and not fear the illness, also wish I had a beard like yours my beard scruffy

[@colty7764]

Good video man, and tattoo is cool.. but don't get too many of those. I know some people in their 40s who regret getting their bodies covered in them! I have panic disorder, but have controlled it with diet and exercise, etc. I know that bi-polar and schizophrenia require meds, because the symptoms gradually worsen if not controlled. I just know benzos are bad from experience. Good to see you dealing with it all very well, and in a laid back way.

[@jessicaschlotterbeck8420]

This is off topic from skitzophrenia but why did you get Jupiter? I really like it and it's well done but is there a meaning behind it?

[@joeldecoster8816]

i think schizophrenia is going to really increase because of the overwhelming stress and too much information overload, too mant traumatic what ifs to worry about too much pressure and too many neds so much alienation poverty sadness and loneliness, the world is changing faster than we can keep up with

[@crazyeyes666]

what if you only have the nagative symptoms Jacob, whats your advise on medication with that?

[@nellie0903]

I've always been so fascinated about schizophrenia for reasons I can't explain. This video is simply awesome, I really appreciate how you articulate what you deal with, having this disease. Is there an explanation, does anyone know, why the voices schizophrenics hear, are always mean and negative, why are there no voices telling you how smart and handsome you are, for example? Serious question. Do scientists know why the voices are invariably negative? Thanks again and God speed.

[@assiavladimirovna8905]

We support you😁

[@Miltonbosss]

Hello I have a brother who suffers from hearing stupid voices and pshycosis. They just booked him at a hospital and have him on ambilify. What’s a good medication ??

[@srvthesheep4682]

I have a lot of the speech behavioural and mood symptoms but I don't get halutionations or hear voices should I talk to a doctor

[@chrisdillane3097]

What you are describing when you go off meds are the withdrawal symptoms. Look up the withdrawal symptoms for your meds. The only way to reduce them is to very slowly taper off them and have a backup med or supplement for insomnia because insomnia makes psychosis even worse.

[@jesusjesus7640]

GOD BLESS YOU 💎

[@mayarshaheen4934]

my brother have shezophrenia and he takes his medicine for years but he still talk and even should with his voices I don't know if he sees them or just hear them tell me please if I should sit down and talk to him that he is hallucinating or that would have a traumatic effect

[@loveiseverything5138]

What an amazing person

[@josephlowe6584]

The "high alert" symptom you described off medication is so awful ... I've had to deal with too, it's completely unlivable. Thank god for AP medication, despite their many problems

[@sid5652]

Do you have any phobias or triggers? There was this one lady giving a ted talk saying she would hallucinate a really scary clown, and her triggers were red and white because those were the colors of that clown. So ted talks gave her a black rug to stand on Instead of the red rug. Was very interesting. She said she could still see the clown in the audience but she refused to look at it. She just ignored it an kept talking.

[@beam664]

are you in to art and are you making drawings or paintings?

[@leilagc4101]

love the videos! really dont need to answers this but will we be seeing the girlfriend(?) again

[@Ihaveschizophrenia1]

No, been single for awhile.

[@leilagc4101]

thx for answering cool content btw:)

[@bikapix6177]

I was wondering, do you ever have hallucinations of voices that you recognize or of people that you know? or is it only unfamiliar voices?

[@tahah.babikir7698]

Raccoon Kitty That's Rood! (a bit)

[@lydiashultz1716]

Raccoon Kitty I don't know about him, but my schizophrenic friend has said they hear their family and friends voices telling them to kill themselves or other people. She's on medicine though so it helps.

[@feng1369]

I did. and the guy commanded me to hit my mom.

[@111ONEnumber]

It varies, you hallucinate for example, it happens to me the most.. -> i'm sitting on the bus and hearing other people talking about me... interesting (not great things for sure) but most of the time it's unfamiliar, as it can be, since you hear it a lot, it's like some1 is talking in your head silently, and that echoes | it's only my experince though |

[@humanitycomesfirstgrewal6921]

Nice tattoo man

[@kimmoore0427]

For some reason the volume is super low on this video? Can you make them louder?

[@alannacarlson6715]

OMG risperdal sucks so much. I hate that stuff. I gained so much weight and I also had the same experience as you where I just couldn't function on it, and the people at the PHP program would yell at me for falling asleep! I had another really weird/embarrassing side effect on it too. I'm on seroquel now. P.S. That tattoo is rad

[@mirageinmercuryshadow]

Alanna Carlson@ do you feel comfortable about say the embarrassing thing was just wondering what It could be. My embarrassing side affect from psych meds was I could not get fully hard, ejaculat and disinterest in sex. My partner at the time left cuz I didn't give him sex Hahahaha

[@kroosgiro]

guess he doesn't have that problem. he is skinny asf

[@alannacarlson6715]

ZoophreemiaHouse it made me lactate even though I didn't have any children and wasn't pregnant. I guess that it's basically the female version of the gynecomastia that it caused in males.

[@mirageinmercuryshadow]

Alanna Carlson@ probably hey. It's odd the psych meds do this, thy must do something to the testosterone and oestrogen lvls in the body maybe

[@alannacarlson6715]

ZoophreemiaHouse yea I'm sure it has something to do with hormones. I'm guessing oxytocin has something to do with it. either way, risperdal is an awful drug.

[@iulianap5944]

Can you help me giving me a hint how to convince a schizophrenic to accept the treatment?

[@arizo3806]

I pulled my mom's hair one time. She cried. But I wasn't really aware that I was doing it until after I did it. I'm on court ordered medicine. Risperidone. I haven't hurt anyone or even hurt myself since I've been on medicine.except for this one time when I woke up and did it out of nowhere. I'm only on 2mg. though. I thought of my house blowing up cause we had a gas leak. Just recently. There still might be a gas leak. I don't know. The doctor told me my medicine causes diabetes and after taking risperidone for awhile now, now I have diabetes. And I've been hearing how every 30 seconds somebody loses a foot or leg due to diabetes. I'm very paranoid of having to get my foot, leg, or toes chopped off due to diabetes. I can relate to your story but I don't ever hallucinate. Before the medicine alot of involuntary self harm. I'm glad that your doing ok. I hope your doing better with your mental illness.

[@aniioska]

hey jacob, how are you? hope you're fine

[@redsonja2291]

When you say harm people, what exactly do you mean? How severly are we talking about here?

[@zekeh1726]

I agree. The meds do make me care less about the auditory hallucinations. Like I hear it but it doesn't bother me like it would if I was off medication.

[@reneeseabrooks6450]

If someone doesn't take their meds are they always in a state of Psychosis?

[@cyntinasimpson6000]

I know you made this video a long time ago...but how do you help someone refusing to take their medication? The person thinks God is talking to them but it's really demons. I'm afraid for them and I've tried and tried to help them but they are simply refusing to take their meds...what else can I do?

[@viresmelissa]

Literally I've been on medication since 2012 and just recently I like to know what I still have these Illusions I still go into an attack where I think the worst things about to happen I'm always being watched all the bad things about schizophrenia and all the side effects I have all them all I have taken my medicine and I haven't had a problem set and the only thing I can think of why is because when you take a pill every night before bed you're putting in your head that you have this problem and you take this pill to help yourself so you remind yourself every single day that you have this problem will you stop your medication you start forgetting about the problem when you don't have the episodes you have good day

I had an psychotic broke. I have glitchs, sounds that transforms in messages. When i stop taking Risperdal i had voices. And a extrange reality. I was very weak. Now i think im cured but well, the stay me on meds. Is the way! For them. I think i can be off meds. But well. Is difficult the thing.

[@madisonknows5344]

Once I cleaned my friends entire room and put all important stuff in a group invade of a fire.. Now, about year later, I might be getting put on medication for childhood schizophrenia. (that's not it, i guess I kinda feel like you? I don't know. From this video I can kinda relate.) I'm scared to be put on medication cause I don't want to be a zombie, but I feel like it's the best? I don't know.

[@jacknimble8723]

i think its different. i think skitso is a gift

[@rentonneureka]

Regarding difficulty sleeping with auditory hallucinations: Get a little box fan and put it in your room. It does wonders.

[@stoneyvowell1239]

I am really curious about the voices and intrusive stuff!? I assume (which I believe is the low end of the delusion scale) that I have some intrusive thoughts. But I'm not sure if those are different personas / identities. I do compartmentalize them, and identify more with osdd 1 then I do voices or thoughts! And would that really be different than conscience!? But I also understand everybody's experience is different!? My thoughts don't tell me to kill myself or others. I do get some over sexualisation from them or at least one of them. And a lot of times they actually seem to manifest in the body. Such as facial expressions, posturing, attitudes, and just general expressions. Which makes me think of osdd-1. But I am definitely schizophrenic. I'm not really sure what that means!

[@DoomsDay1661]

Im not schizophrenic but really occasionally I hear wispers in my head...and I know its not me thinking its almost like someone is talking in my head but its only occasionally so its probably not schizophrenia

[@louisswitzer538]

Voices I've had about my grandma. (Deceased) But my visual is... Fun. I've had a specific hallucination about what I call the "Chernobyl girl" to my therapist. She has chemically burnt skin, burnt hair, and an arm out of her back. So that was fun as hell.
