The Most Insane TikToks I Have Ever Seen

[@needskin8144]

As someone coping with Schizophrenia, all the warning signs are popping up for this woman. Don't be afraid to get help, there ARE caring people out there that wish to help with these particular mental issues.

[@needskin8144]

@NebraskaTruthCenter It certainly reads that way, doesn't it?

[@Juzokinnie]

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't sure because I'm no expert. I researched it a little because when I talked to my therapist about a mental breakdown my dad had, she initally thought it could possibly be schizophrenia or bipolar so I did some light research on schizophrenia and a lot of the signs are there. She sounds extremely delusional and like she suffers from visual and auditory hallucinations.

I had a co-worker who had Lyme disease. She lost her short term memory, amongst other issues, so if you told her someone was on hold, waiting for her to pick up the phone, she'd forget and you'd have to remind her. Whatever THIS is, is BS. These folks are insane. Lyme is not a gift. From speaking with her, it was a curse and she hated it. For these lunatics to come on any social media, and claim this is so wonderful is an insult to those folks who have suffered from this disease.

[@s.k.1603]

My coworker was on sick leave for 2 years while they tried to diagnose her. Eventually, they diagnosed her with Lyme disease, and her brother gave her info to a naturopath who helped her get back to health since pharmaceuticals weren't working. I remember her telling me she thought she was on Death's door while in the hospital there. So who are these people saying "it is a gift"? They are crazy!

[@sophieabcde839]

They dont mean that type of lyme. The lyme they mean doesnt exist. They call it chronic lyme. That shouldnt be confused with permanent damage from a lyme infection. My english is to bad to explain it better but you should look it up

[@sakatababa]

@@sophieabcde839 lyme disease wreaks havoc on central nervous system. it literally has lyme encephalopathy as a not uncommon effect. it ruins your gray matter connections and it repairs worse then white matter damage. that leaves you will neurodysfunction of attention, memory and complex cognition and emotions. superficially you look ok, you are not a babbling moron but you are not experiencing reality like before. it is larger problem if untreated or treated badly so it is most likely what they are talking about from an uneducated point.

[@aveganeverywhere]

If Lyme disease was a gift then I wouldn't have arthritis or brain fog for several other health issues that I don't want to bore you guys with 🙄. Going back to the short-term memory thing I literally thought my ADHD was just getting worse cuz I didn't know chronic lyme disease was a thing. Although I was bit by a few ticks when I was younger I never got the rash and in the 90s and early 2000s you were taught that if you do not have a rash you do not have Lyme disease 🤷‍♀️. 100 not true and I'm just now starting Lyme disease treatment. Like stated I have other health issues but I don't want to complain too much considering some people with Lyme disease become paralyzed.

Every life has meaning, but most conspiracy theories are made big by people who want to believe they are above others as a privileged few who understand the truth when the reality is they are actually running from truth.

I knew a guy that had undetected lyme for a really long time as a kid. It literally entirely fucked his whole nervous system, immune system, and his emotional regulation. Even just his intelligence in general. The way he typed and texted was bizarre. In person he was pretty normal besides his outbursts or inability to react proportionately to certain situations. He would vent all the time about how terrible it was and how he wishes he never had to go through it. I'm not even two minutes into the video yet but I can just tell I'm going to be disgusted and absolutely enraged. I also had lyme as a kid but I was lucky enough and they caught it before it could do any damage to my body.

My grandmother had lyme disease and it almost killed her. These people are literally insane. She eventually passed due to ALS which they thought as lyme disease again, but unfortunately it wasn't.

[@ghtroglodyte1996]

I'm sorry to hear that. People are crazy as hell

[@DannyD-lr5yg]

That’s very sad - especially considering the Lyme very well could’ve contributed to her ALS 😔 No way to know for sure obviously, but in one study, almost every person with Alzheimer’s tested positive for Lyme. Correlation doesn’t equal causation, but this is just one of many studies that strongly suggest viruses and bacteria like herpes, Lyme, mono, and more can contribute significantly to prion-like diseases like ALS, Alzheimer’s, and MS.

[@gentleman8948]

My uncle died because of it, this thing just kills a human within human.

[@Danglez2seconds]

Same thing happened to my grandfather. He also got lyme and it destroyed his energy and made him very very ill. I cannot imagine how stupid you have to be to say something like this.

Damage to nerves (which he has) is the slowest of all medical conditions to heal. But Ren is a scrapper! He fights and fights, and I actually think that when (not if! WHEN) his health is restored, he's going to start raising funds and raising hell on behalf of others with Lyme.

The longer a person has the bacteria in their body UNTREATED, the more damage gets done, and the harder it is to cure.

I still have it years later where if i do the eyes unfocused thing, random lines of shadow etc appear if im in a room, or if im outside it can start to seem like its raining and other random visual distortion effects. I suspect this chick is big in to psychedelics, which really is so obvious it almost goes without saying. This kind of magical, highly spiritual thinking is very common amongst users that go down that naturism sort of path while consuming trips, and i should know because i found a lot of worthwhile things about how i percieve my life and nature and reality from those experiences. Some things i honestly think many people could benefit from. The problem is people can go off the deep end with this stuff and end up losing touch with quantifiable physical reality, and why magical, spiritual thinking has to be tempered by actual reality.

Schizophrenia often isn't diagnosed in women until they're adults because the symptoms aren't as prominent. I legitimately feel like this lady needs to go to a psychologist to see if there's a possibility that she may have it, because if she's actually seeing things she needs to understand that its not healthy

[@SeanHartnett-t8c]

yep. also great flag

[@DefJamGlycerine]

August's videos always make me more confident in my intelligence with each one I watch.

[@monorail4252]

I worked at a State Park for a summer and developed the ability to feel tick bites. I was able to pull the ticks off, but it requires tweezers and assurance the entire tick is removed.

[@pillowpilots2626]

Yellow fever gives me the ability to travel through time so lemme know if yall want anything from the past as a memorabilia or something much more advanced from the the future

[@BA-ji1zh]

Worth noting (and I'm sure August is already well aware) that we live in the era of rage bait where "content creators" all have the shared mission of being as ridiculous and "out there" as possible just to piss people off and rake in that kind of engagement because it gets more views and wacky/bad content is easier and faster to produce. Or maybe she's just bat shit insane idk.

I think someone needs to check the carbon monoxide detector in that studio because it's obviously malfunctioning. 😂

I'm sorry... its to late she's already fallen to the retarded side...

[@RealmsSMPStudios]

I know Carbon Monoxide is detrimental to a persons memory and health but if your saying that a great enough dosage of it can do this, I’m gonna be getting 18 of them and am gonna be putting them all throughout my house…

I have lyme disease, I also grew up with scopophobia (Fear of always being watched). My first year of having lyme, that phobia intensified so much I thought someone was real and right behind me. Used to be just afar. Peek around a door, a corner, walk outside, I thought I was truly gonna see someone or something there. As time went on and things became worse, I was coming up with weird and delusional reasons as to why it was happening like spirits or past life stuff coming to me. I eventually started to have my first hypnagogic hallucinations going to bed and waking up, now that I had a face and voice going with this "real" presence feeling breathing down my neck it only encouraged or "confirmed" delusions. I had physical problems starting and had to start IV antibiotics which I'm glad I took (A moment where I didn't want it in fear I'd lose my delusions) because looking back, I have no clue where any of that would've taken me and how much it would've changed me. Still have an occasional hypnagogic hallucination and still have scopophobia but it's all at an controllable baseline and not so far gone I'm fooling myself. I hope she gets the meds she needs if this truly is happening to her because not all doctors know how to handle lyme disease but act like they do. My mom and her own doctor had to fight to get me the proper meds that I needed at the time.

[@slate613]

She should have a conversation with the artist Ren about how "wonderful" Lyme disease is. . .

[@albigensiac3206]

I'm so glad that Ren is getting treatment in Canada, because in some ways Canadian research is leading the way! Scietists know that lyme disease has been around in North America for about 50,000 years. But because it was only "officially identified" in a medical journal in 1976, people think it's a new disease. If I was a scientist, I'd be interested in researching the incidence of Lyme disease amongst Native Americans. One study says that at the moment 97% of Lyme sufferers are White. So I'm thinking that perhaps Natives, through thousands of years of exposure, have developed some genetic anomaly or some other defence against it? After all there are several diseases (such as malaria) that Native seem to be immune to.

[@brunaaniellelopesdeoliveir9199]

I'm truly disgusted cause this is kind of personal to me. I had a friend in middle school who lost the battle to Lyme. She was fking 12! I mean, it's great that this woman survived. But I can't shake the feeling that she's demeaning people who couldn't do it

[@myliza700]

I woke up from a nap just as this was posted 3 mins ago I don’t think I’m awake enough for this

[@aveganeverywhere]

As someone with Lyme disease I can honestly say your panic attack is definitely not from other people's ancestors. Your grocery store panic attack could be caused because walking through the aisles makes you feel sick and lose control of your legs if you have nerve damage from the Lyme disease. If the Lyme disease has eaten part of your brain you're probably just having a migraine from the lights. you could also just be having a panic attack because Lyme disease increases the chemicals that cause panic attacks. Lyme disease increases your anxiety and if you already had panic disorder you will need a lot of help to try to deal with them. Also panic disorder medications do not work as well if you have Lyme disease because of how strong the anxiety is so you need a higher dose.

[@jexxer]

My dad must not have gotten the super psychic strain of Lyme disease from that tick bite nine years ago. He just got really tired and hurt all over. He's fine now, by the way. He got proper treatment and made a full recovery.

[@oldeskoolnana7543]

Glad to hear that. ❤

[@falcontomto]

One of my childhood friends was born with Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). To put it simply, it makes him a midget with a life expectancy of 10 to 20 years due to failures of all different organs, though apparently he is approaching his 30s and have not kick the bucket yet. He was a kind and unyielding soul and is genuinely a good man we don’t deserve, but he was also a very religious person and far too often did he refer his hardships as “blessings” which allowed him to appreciate god even more. My head could never get around that. though I was also not edgy enough to insult a noble man living on borrowed time in his face, while many others were “inspired” into Christianity, a few others and myself were the polar opposite and our resolve for atheism was steeled.

[@sarahhamman7070]

My stepmother got lyme disease.. a few years later she got into the whole "energy healing" thing and actually became an "energy practitioner". I thought it was stupid, but I looked it up and it seems that people with lyme use spirituality as a way to cope. A lot of them say that people with lyme are always extraordinary people who excel in many areas. I personally don't believe it, esp because I can confirm my stepmother was both bland and stupid. But whatever helps them cope I guess😅

8:22 Imagine this being real, like those animal spirits all around, some bright light from person... This would make any people insane. Not only this is so messy, that you couldn't say where is what, but if you could really "open your mind" and suddenly star see and feel all of this for yourself, you just get insane, it is not possible for human to live with such big and quick changes.

Although i see alot of comments saying it the Lyme disease if making her go crazy, i would also like to note that if she is taking alot of psychedelics she may also have HPPD which does describe alot of the stuff she is saying.

[@Raymo2u]

I was thinking shes taking Ayahuasca

[@mikethew3irdo]

Yeah she probably just has hppd, I have it and I see white outlines on objects and people and see geometry overlayed on my vision and a lot more. It might make a person sound crazy if they believe that what they are seeing is reality instead of just in the head.

I took the Starseed quiz: I originate from Vega, the brightest planet in the Lyra constellation. Sounds about right. I'm drawn to travel to Egypt. My Mum and Dad went there in 1997, so that checks out. I should allow myself to follow what lights me up. Dude, it's legal now! I have a soul that’s incarnated in other dimensions, in other star systems, or other universes. Need to update my passport there. As a Lyran starseed, I am here to help guide the revolution. I'll go get my pistol. Thanks August !!!
