What it's like to have schizophrenia

[@annebartells777]

My mom had schizophrenia. She was treated in the early 1960 with medication and ECT. She continuously would talk to herself and laugh historically while pacing the halls in our home. She would do this nonstop for days on end untill the need for sleep made her pass out for a few days. During this time was the best we had. Our home was quiet. She also had a paranoid violent streak. During this time, she would chase me around the house with knives, or a baseball bat. Stating that the voices told her to kill us. Since she was treated in the early sixties, she got a lot of electric shock treatments. She was in and out of mental hospitals for as long as I can remember. My dad was a violent alcoholic to add to the fun of my child hood.

@@whatever7588 it's not s sob story, living with someone who is mentally ill is very difficult, and if you think you are better than everyone else, than good for you. Especially when it's the fifties and sixties. Some people who are schizophrenic are able to function and others are not. My mom was violent and not able to function in society. Yes, she was tortured because of the disease, but so were her children. Yes, having empathy for the mentally ill is important, but empathy for the families who have to live with someone who is mentally ill needs to be understood too. People like you just make people who have to live with someone who mentally ill feel guilty for the feelings they have. It took me years to come to terms with what I experienced. But what I experienced also made me who I am. I have a serious disease that is crippling. I am able to walk and climb mountains because I had to learn to go to school with broken bones and pretend that I was fine. If not for learning that skill at a young age, I would be in a weal chair. So, I would never have changed my childhood because I like who I am today, it made me who I am. There just needs to be outreach and support for families of the mentally ill

[@annebartells777]

@Will Wilde I hope you are well too. It took me a few years of therapy to deal with it. I feel for the mentally ill, but people need to realize the impact it has on children and the family. I believe there should be a lot more outreach for the families, and people shouldn't make someone feel guilty about the feelings they have towards that mentally ill person

[@journeytsoni290]

I remember the first day I showed symptoms of schizophrenia and how scared I was. I was 15. I woke up and stared at my bedroom mirror and could see multiple images of myself all in a horizontal line. I hid in my closet and I could hear my step dad downstairs watching home improvement on TV. I also heard voices telling me my mom was trying to poison me so I ran downstairs and told my mom but she didn't believe me. My step dad believed me and upon my insistence, I went to a mental institution for 10 days. I felt like I was separated from the rest of time and space and slowly sinking in something like quicksand. Everything around me moved faster and slower than me at the same time. I'm 40 year old and still experiencing regular symptoms. Medicine helps, but nothing can cure schizophrenia. In my case, I just power through it everyday.

Woa! I am also 15 years old now and I feel that there is something wrong with me. I once heard a voice similar to my sister's and it kept whispering to me from another room. I went to my sister and she said that she didn't call me and then the voice disappeared. Once I heard a bird, other times a strong wind outside. I often see faces and other things. I forget very quickly and I can't sleep well. I often feel nothing. Sometimes i often feel like someone is with me and controlling my mind. I have had a chaotic life, my mother remarried and when she is not well, she is extremely scary with me. They don't allow me to go to a therapist. I'm having suicidal thoughts and I'm afraid it's going to get worse. Could you give me some advice on how to feel better? Because I'm very afraid. 😔🙏🏻(sorry for the long comment)

@@lau7710 please don't kill yourself. You're so young and you have a beautiful life ahead of you, believe me. You'll have better days and there will also be some bad days. But, those bad days will make you stronger. As time went on, I learned how to more accurately tell reality from hallucinations and you will too. Therapy and medication are key instruments for your health. My advice: talk privately with a trusted adult such as a grandparent or even a teacher if your parents won't take your concerns seriously. My mom didn't take me seriously at first, but that's because adults sometimes get overwhelmed with the stresses of daily life. But, there is a future for you and you have the power to make that future anything you want it to be. Even if you have schizophrenia, don't let it stop you from reaching all of your goals. I graduated from college and have a normal life. I believe you can too.

My son who passed was schizophrenic. I had no idea what he was living through. Sadly. I did know he needed help, which he routinely refused. He finally started treatment but also had an opioid addiction. He died of an overdose. How I wish I knew what this was 15, 16 years ago when he started to exhibit symptoms. I would have had him committed instead of taking him from one therapist to another. All of whom he refused to speak to. This is probably the worst mental disease. He fought a good fight. My only consolation is that he is finally at peace.

It dawned on me, that Government should be ashamed at the many decades going by, with a huge lack of support for families, who need to deal with mentally ill/addicted/untreated/ precious people, and their families/friends, left to fend for themselves. All the billions going into military defence spending when we are unable to make life more bearable, for the savagely ravaged, desparate for proper, and intesive care, and follow-up/education/prevention in the early formative elementary school-aged sector... It just makes me wonder what kind of future is in store fore our precious progeny. Not a great time to be having children, at this point in time. I just do not believe that l would be able to survive, if l had to bury my daughter. I'd die internally. No doubt in my mind. My daughter is, by the grace of good fortune, which no money could buy, sober, drug-free, and has always been, a vice-free, hard playing/working, and freedom loving person, with a great head for justice. My heart bleeds for your loss... No words could comfort; you have endured, the unendurable. Be Strong. Try to take care of yourself. 😪

[@LW-ej6id]

I had drug-induced psychosis from amphetamine use, which went away as soon as I stopped using them so I definitely believe that excess dopamine is the reason for these symptoms. It was absolutely terrifying and I still cannot make sense of that time. I do not know what is real and what was a delusion. It also felt incredibly meaningful, as in possessing some sort of divinity, as was described in this video. My heart wholeheartedly goes out to anyone dealing with this disorder intrinsically. I am a little mentally ill normally but only with an anxiety disorder so it's in the realm of relatibility for most people. I still don't know why we're here but I'm glad we are. You all matter, even if you're a bit nonsensical.

[@leocarbaugh5074]

Yeah it probably was because of excess dopamine. There's a medication they give to people with Parkinson's to increase dopamine and if they take too much they show signs of schizophrenia. On the contrary, certain medication they give to Schizophrenic patients lowers dopamine and if taken too much they can show signs of Parkinson's. It's very interesting to me, in that it seems as though Parkinson's and Schizophrenia are two ends of a certain spectrum involving dopamine.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1982, when I was 19 years old. It has ruined my life, I had to leave university after just one term, I lost my university friends, I have never had a job, or a family, or any friends and I now live totally alone. I sit and talk to the walls and put up with the symptoms even though I am on medication. I feel like I am being ostracised and I hardly ever go out because everyone outside is watching me. Even at home I think there are other people creeping around in my house, and I am terrified. I get really upset when I hear people laughing about schizophrenia and thinking that all schizophrenics are dangerous. Schizophrenics aren’t dangerous, I am too tired and ill to hurt anyone, and the fellow sufferers that I met in hospital weren’t dangerous either. Most schizophrenics are completely harmless.

I was diagnosed with psychosis as a young adult. Later on kept thinking I got a handle on it, though I'm constantly proven wrong; and even when you're able to recognize which thoughts are aberrant, it still takes energy to watch out for them and shut them down before you do something rash. The concept of salience makes so much sense, and it answers a lot of questions about my thoughts, and I'm pretty sure that's not just a dopamine spike. Thank you for taking the time to organizing these thoughts into something clear and relatable. I needed this refresher.

Hey I know I’m late but I hope you read my comment, but What I believe Schizophrenia is and it might be correct and true; Schizophrenia is when the mind has been stressed out with sadness, anger, anxiety, and being alone all the time and when you bring those 3 major key factors (Anxiety/Depression/ Isolated) your mind can create new things to think about and when you don’t talk to anyone just yourself over the years but mainly yourself; you end up being alone you don’t have anyone else to talk to so you end up creating scenarios or people that you can interact with, so in your mind you’re talking to people but their not there but you’re creating these things and people that can help you through the depression and loneliness and your mind becomes so loud that you don’t realize that you’re talking to someone or basically yourself and you can really hear the other ones talk

@@kimlec3592 for sure writing and journalling are indispensable for trauma and dealing with intrusive thoughts and feelings however schizophrenia is beyond just using those tools. The so called "delusions" that psychiatry say is one of the major symptoms of schizophrenia are not delusions at all since it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they run in patterns. Were they delusions they would differ from person to person and since the vast majority of sufferers report same and similar "delusions" it's an impossibility this is what it is. That's why I refer to Jerry Marzinski because he lays out accurately what is really going on and how to stop these "delusions" in their tracks.

You have to ignore all of the hallucinations delusions and thoughts of grandeur thinking that you are the greatest person that ever lived and or thoughts of being the worst person that ever lived. You have to reject your belief that you have supernatural abilities. It’s torment that never goes away day or night if you can’t not believe what you believe.

This is very true and hard to handle. I know because my Mother had it. I was one of the few people she would trust to listen to when she was having an issue with it. I can remember at 9 years old being woke up and told that there was a man at the window and it took me over an hour to stop my fear of the shadow and her fear to let me open the curtain and see what it was and it was just a rose brush blowing in the wind in the dark before my Dad was home. She was sitting in the corner of the room like a child would scared to death more than me and I was 9 being the Mom for her she would not let me call anyone to help for fear they think she was crazy. They still don't do much research as they need to on Mental Illness and the brain. Plus, with COVID more is happening to people. Prayers to all that are fighting their illness.

[@WTF-m6b]

I know someone who was sectioned last year and spent a number of months in a mental health hospital. It started with voices in the head, which progressed to three additional personalities and another “dark” entity/energy, who wasn’t pleasant. After looking into earth bound spirits and spirit release therapy, I contacted a few people for help. In the first week, the dark entity stopped coming through, by the end of the second week of their help, all three personalities left and haven’t returned. The medical profession, social services and a mental health charity were all useless. I don’t have enough knowledge or data to say that everyone suffers in a similar way, but what I arranged, worked. There are hypnotists trained in spirit release and there are spirit release teams, some are better than others and I have also heard that some seem to be “in it” to make money and charge a lot of money. Knowing what I know now, I would say that in some cases schizophrenics have the same ability as shamans and mediums, they are able to connect with the spirit world, but because they are “vibrating” at a low level, because of depression, alcohol or drugs, earth bound spirits are able to make contact. They start by whispering (the hearing of voices) during this stage, they turn the person against the family and friends, make them paranoid and isolate them. The person has no idea what is happening and think that it is their own thoughts, providing the information, so they follow it. As the connection grows stronger, the earth bound spirit is able to take more control, so the personality changes, as the original consciousness is pushed out. At this stage, one or more spirits/consciousnesses can walk in. Drugs dampen down the connection, but do not sever it. If you don’t “close the door” they will come back. It is like having squatters in your house, you need to get rid of them and make sure it’s all secure, so that they can’t get back in. It’s been eighteen months since the first “episode” and over a year since they were released from hospital and there have been no new incidents.

I recommend watching the videos of Jerry Marzinsky, a psychiatrist who worked in prison with schizophrenics, and at first believed the voices these people were hearing came from their own mind, but found out the voices actually came from demons.

[@lottoking7777]

Well said, the earth is home to the demonic kingdom. Most people believe the voice In their head is theirs when in actuality they are being controlled by demons. I believe almost everyone is possessed by demons to an extent, they just aren't aware of it. I see demons using human vessels all of the time as the host is merely used as an empty vessel under hypnosis. For example, I've been trying to quit smoking lately and these demons have been tempting me in my sleep to smoke. As soon as these spirits know I want to quit, coincidentally I'll go to the local market and there will be a couple at the front smoking as I walk in. On the same day I went to eat at a restaurant and someone was outside of the door smoking, and the smoke was coming into the restaurant while I was eating. Sometimes I'll have a conversation with someone random at the store and they'll say something that relates with something the demons told me in my dreams. These are examples of demons taking control of vessels without them knowing.

One of my cousins is schizo. To me, as a child observing him (I was frequently baby sat by his older sister) he was normal and into music - even made a song that played on the radio! He was super social and seemed to have healthy relationships…. And then I went away for a few years- came back, he was isolated and stayed in his room. I wanted to learn more about his condition because it’s the one I’ve never really delved into research wise… thank you for this video.

[@justasoulsbronamedyams4799]

I was trying to explain what its actually like to someone and I came across this video... if u and the person who responded to ur comment are actually interested in learning about it for whatever reason.. I'd tell u not to because it's not something quantifiable and everyone who deals with it is going to have completely different experiences feelings ect it's not a fun rabbit hole and truth is I'm only even saying anything to yall because out of all the comments I read through your 2 accounts are the only ones that seem even remotely like u have actually come across it. I'd tell u not to because without 1st hand experience studying it or trying to understand it is only going to lead u to draw conclusions about ppl who dont want to be treated like they're insane.. now if you have someone in your life who's skitz and your trying to learn how to handle it or them studying it online or whatever isnt likely to help your best bet is to talk to them. Itd be nice if you could get online and read accounts to learn about it but the real accounts of ppl dealing with it are far and few between.. when u go to look it up u get exactly the shit u see here just look through the comments... almost all these ppl are here literally just jerking each other off they come across the video and make up some outlandish fucking sap stiry in Hope someone will comment back as feel bad for them and stroke their fucking egos so they can get that daily fix of attention they're addicted to. They're here literally saying its soo hard there should be more help for us for attention but they're actually making harder on us who are really dealing with the shit and it makes me angry.. because we do need help and they're stories about their skitz mom chasing them with knives and what not drown out the real stories cuz that's more interesting and gets ppls attention.... So ima learn tall a few quick things, 1st off alot of them may actually have a Schizoid personality disorder and depending on that maybe that's why they feel the need to warp it over into actual schizophrenia for the attention not likely but maybe.. then theres 3 main types u have just regular schizophrenia like myself which for most is auditory hallucinations which is usually the voice or voices depending on severity and very minor visual hallucinations mostly amounts to seeing shadows or like ppl in reflections that arent there usually and again depends severity, and that's a generalized like description or whatever for just Schizophrenia.. after that theres Paranoid Schizophrenia all the same symptoms as before but on a scale like u just cant imagine. My biggest fear is that as I'm getting older I am or wil become paranoid and end with that... and then theres the Big one the scary one the one u see homeless ppl screaming at the birds on the street tryin to jump in fron of cars with.. That's Drug Induced Paranoid Schizophrenia Usually Meth induced because doing meth keeps you awake and just not sleeping for days can make u hallucinate in itself so splash that meth addiction on top of someone who already had paranoid schizophrenia to begin with. Ends up with whomever it is being completely disconnected from reality.. they are usually incoherent weird and creepy but sometimes they can be very dangerous to because they're soo unstable and while sometimes they can be helped but in my experience more often then not theyre too far gone to help and it sucks but take into mind at one point they were stable and they were young and most could have sought help had they wanted to but chose to do drugs and disappear from reality because it took less effort than doing what they had to do in order to get better.. that's not all of them and honestly most the time with them its impossible to figure out and because they can be very dangerous its better to leave it to the professionals and just keep your distance from them.. and I deal with my shit as best I can theres ups and down and sometimes I feel like I need help too but it's my responsibility to seek it same with them.. and no matter how much u think I want to help ppl like that you cant do anything if u go up to one of them tryin to help and and they idk slit your throat because the voices promised him they would go away if he did or if he smashes your head with a hammer because the voices convinced him hes the messiah and when he saw you. Your backpack looked like folded wings and the lanyard hanging out your pocket was a devil's tail...... I have what I've shared here with u helps you maybe answers some of the questions u may have had.. lastly i just want to say thank u for tryin to actually learn and potentially help lead us towards actual help. Thank you for not posting some dumb shit about how terrible your childhood was cuz your mom and dad were both schizophrenic alcoholics and you spent your childhood hiding from them cuz they wanted to kill u. And how everything's okay you forgave them and got them help but now your perfect schizo and your completely insane and see the demons ppl try to hide while the voices in your head convinced u that your Jedi Jesus but you take medication so your okay, but u can still see other ppls demons. So thank you for not being a Pice of shit fiending for any sort of attention from anyone anywhere claiming to have something u dont, something u dont even remotely understand then going and saying ppl should do more for ppl like us and we need to get the message out there. While u clearly do no CARE AT ALL ABOUT IT. Cuz if u did u wouldn't be making the shit up drawing attention from real ppl who need real help.. Sorry for the Tangit as well I saw all the other comments above and ran across this one and it reply and it's the only comment I saw at all that was completely disingenuous. Just 2 ppl who actually seemed to want to kno more and give a shit 2 ppl who could maybe make a difference for someone if they just knew how.. Thank u

I can truely say that unless you experience it you cant fully understand what these people go thru. It was scary and really makes you paranoid. The voices sound exactly like friends, family, neighbors. The depths and distances of the voices are crazy too.

schizophrenia in my case started with deja vues, I would have them one right after another I guess giving me the illusion that it meant something more. then my whole world flipped when I started hearing voices and now at the present I have auditory and visual symptoms. even though I still hold these voices and visions as spiritual in nature, I can rationalize them as being a disease as well. the problem though with the latter is that I have heard things about other religions that I was never aware of until I heard it from the voices and then looked it up and researched it and it turned out to be accurate. my doctor says I probably heard it before but there is no way because I have lived a simple life with hardly any knowledge of faiths except Christianity, but somehow knew about allah and djinn as well as things like kundalini and chakras which I disagree with. I have even been told of events like when I was in danger of getting into a fight or getting in an accident so I don't know. I realize most people with loved ones with this affliction don't really understand it, which is understandable cause a lot of people with it including myself cant make real sense of it either. this though was very interesting glad I watched this video.

[@thane732]

In my case, I don't suffer from hallucinations but do have delusions and disorganized thought. Before taking my meds, I was in a constant state where everything around me, from the words people were saying to the ways in which things were organized around me, would immediately symbolically reflect my internal thoughts. I would think of something, and someone around me would immediately say something related to that thing, or an ad would pop up that was related, etc. I used to believe people around me were trying to control my mind and insert thoughts inside my head. I was also delusional to the point of believing I was literally once God and had created the world and then transferred myself into the life of a human so I could challenge myself to see if I could return to my original God form.

[@splitmind1342]

Anyways the cop ended up beating me a little and the cops ended up hooking me up to an EKG machine to where I started hallucinating where they put me on a stretcher but I got up to fight my friend again but was like nooooope back on the stretcher . After that they showed heaven and hell . Hell being on the stretcher and my feet hurting like a bitch . I know that the feeling could've went higher up my body but they weren't gonna show me all that . I wasn't dead yet so I wasn't going to hell . They showed me a lot of other things but heaven was a strong vibration where the heart is and they were asking me would u fight for this . And id say fuck yea . The vibration would get higher . Finally they said would you fight for your life . And I was like fuck yea ! And it felt really good . After all this they put me throw test to see if I'd fight foreals . I ended up failing the test . So now I think I'm going to hell . Salience . Idk how to use the word . So bare with me . What's important to me or my "salience" . Is fighting if I don't fight I go to hell period .

It is not anything to admire. "A beautiful mind" is a false GLORIFICATION of this diseases. Biblically, it is "demonic possession", and anyone who suffers with this have opened themselves up to it THROUGH LIVING IN SIN. The Bible says sin separates us from God, and when we have no relationship with him we are susceptible to demonic possession.

I went through this for a period of about three years. It's was a living hell. I thought there were hidden messages in the TV and radio. I thought songs I was listening to were written for or about me and only me. I thought everyone was speaking in coded language around me and they wanted me to know they were doing it to torment me, but wouldn't ever admit to to make it worse. I thought I'd died and actailly gone to hell. For some reason it stopped. I was begging in my head for it to go away and over time the incidents became lesser. It would still happen from time to time but not often at all. Now I may get a small flash of it once a year but it quickly passes. Oh and you describing how people assign great significance to small things made me think of some people. These are people that use words like "microaggressions"", think that everything is racist, everything is sexist and everything is homophobic.

A persons spirituality is often overlooked however plays a big part as does stress, the patients life experience and the way these factors have been interpreted by the individual concerned. You have to live it to know it. I found it was hard to articulate how I was feeling to the doctors as what seemed abnormal to them, I had carried all my life. For the better as it turned out. Many individuals take for granted what they change about themselves on a daily basis and so have a different way of interpreting things because of that reason. This made it so hard for me to get my thoughts across to doctors so in the end they didnt listen to what I had to say, just labelled me and put me in the "too hard basket" Despite this I have gone on to lead a sucessful life. Married with 4 kids and am in a position where I couldnt care less what anybody thinks as it's none of my business. The opinions of mental health services has also become a great big fat "whatever" as I'm killin it baby and living the way I want to.

I relate to this. I came off of 30 years drinking and vicodine use the last 10 years of it. During detox on the 5th day I heard the voices loud and clear with some HD hallucinations. Lasted 24 hours. I figured out when I read a news post on my phone that when I read the first sentence it was repeated loud and clear in my head in a woman's voice. That's when I realized all of the different voices that I heard were my own thoughts. It was crazy, voices of men and women old and young for 24 hours. Enough for me to never drink or take pain pills ever again. Been 3 years now and my mind is clear as a bell and has been since I stopped. Thank God! 😊

As a person who has experience with drug and alcohol recovery programs I can say I've run into so many people who come into recovery struggling with schizophrenia and it's sometimes debilitating symptoms. A common, though not absolute, theme among these is them having been subjected to profound, prolonged and traumatic emotional and psychological abuse and neglect from early childhood well into young adulthood without being provided proper channels for which to express and rationalize their experiences with any cognitive coherence. It's no wonder their comprehension of reward and punishment is maladjusted. This is just as much a "spiritual" malady as it is a psychological one.

[@louisegordon5169]

I thought this was an excellent video on the concept of aberramt salience. I think it would have been even better if fewer images of the schizophrenic patients from the past were included- these conjure up negative stereotypes. Just a suggestion. Thank you for this explanation. It makes it easier to understand psychosis while it still mentions and clarifies that this is probably a simplification of a complex pathology that may involve more than one neurotransmitter and other mechanisms. Thank you

its crap.

[@suewatson9153]

I've got it......had it for 40 years. I've had a wonderful life. I've traveled worked in some great jobs and have a wonderful family. Sure I've had relapses and spent time in mental hospitals but I studied disability and worked in mental health and with kids with disabilities. All people have ups and downs good and bad days. I did modelling and was voted vice president of the local political party. I've written a book. I've worked in a factory and contributed to society. I'm 61 now and am still working part time at McDonald's in maintenance. I got into meditation at age 14 and never stopped. I find it very useful in calming my brain.

Did the medication cause any metabolic issues such as excessive weight gain, diabetes, etc?

[@suewatson9153]

@@karek4635 I used to shake a lot but I was on an earlier medication. In the last ten years I've had a different medication and there are no side effects. The newer medications are better. I was lucky I found one that suited me. I have heard of other people who aren't so fortunate.

[@rickwrites2612]

This video will change lives! When I was young and foolish I had a marijuana induced psychotic break while working through some early trauma issues. It was exactly this - aberrant salience with delusions of reference regarding external information and my internal info like the normal tapes in our minds basically became salient to the degree of different internal "voices" not quite identities. Now this may sound extreme reaction to smoking some pot but I think something more was in it because I had smoked a few times before. I knew something terrible and terrifying was happening but at the same time, because of my pagan religious beliefs and appreciation for innocuous things like synchronicity and intuition, it was very hard to tell what was real. It peaked for a few days but the entire experience lasted several months inclufingbonevspent in s psych ward where within 3 days I became sobered by the meds and while I recognized what occured I was afraid to tell them and be labeled schizophrenic or kept there against my will. So I waited and sought therapy after I got out, i was slowly taken off the anti psychotics within a week and mood stabilizers within a few months. This was because my medical doctors, psychologist and psychiatrist believed it was the combination of trauma work and drugs and not schizophrenia. This was almost 20 yrs ago and I've never had anything similar happen. While grateful for that, I have always longed to understand what happened in my brain and to be able to describe what it was like. Now I know this is what people with schizophrenia have to live with all their lives and having had a brief taste I just cannot imagine how they do it. People like my mom assume that they are so out of it they dont know what's going on No, I can tell you the experience of aberrant salience is truly terrifying and you know on some level you are losing your mind but cannot tell what is part if it vs not. For instance I had alot of benign religious imagery, both of pagan myths and Christian saints and couldnt decide is any of this a guardian spirit looking out for me? If you know your going insane but you've always believed in guardian spirits, how can you test? That sort of thing. I am so glad this theory is being understood to help people who have to live that way. I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

[@MemorablePsych]

I'm glad you found that the video spoke to your experiences!

[@Lowkeyprodigy24]

Same thing just happened to me in January a marijuana induced psychosis. This aberrant salience is a great explanation. I also believed I was the devil and talked to god. It only lasted for 2 months thank god but I definitely had my fair share of stuff happening and hallucinations

[@nikkij4873]

Thank you all for sharing. May I respectfully ask if there are any good or pleasurable parts to schizophrenia like there is to bipolar mania?

[@MemorablePsych]

Many people say that in the early parts of psychosis it can feel exciting, in that phase when everything seems significant and cosmically important. However it isn't sustained and isn't as core to the experience as in mania.

[@whatever7588]

@@Lowkeyprodigy24 the thing is you actually were the devil talking to god, you didn’t just believe it. You have to understand the many different realities of the universe to understand that that’s actually what was happening and it wasn’t just some “hallucination” as it’s called but something actually happening. We are both God and the devil and living in multiple realities at once and everything you see isn’t you “going crazy” as you’re brainwashed to believe, but it’s actually the real reality that is happening.

[@helenamcginty4920]

I saw the comment above about love being "all" that is needed. That isnt even 'all' any of us need. Most of us like to be needed by others. Mutual giving and taking. Not just to be the vessel in which someone else pours in compassion so that they, themselves, feel fulfilled. Sometimes medication can help people to function so that they too can feel valued for their contribution. Be it voluntary work or office work or factory work or being a capable partner or parent. Very few of us enjoy needing to be helped. I am old and resent people 'helping' me when I am perfectly able to help myself. Though I always smile and say thank you because they too need to feel they have helped. A bit blathery there but there us no single thing that helps. And no single person. I have been helped in all sorts of ways through my life and know that I have helped others. But always recall one friend who I had helped out through a bad patch just by giving her lifts to and from work being so pleased when one day she was in a position to repay the favour.

[@rucianapollard7098]

Please don't hold it against people who want to help. I am a person who loves helped others, not because I'm looking for some fulfillment, but because I genuinely love and care about people and if I can help make someone's life a bit better, then I want to.

[@tylercook6883]

I've never heard of this term but it's so accurate to what I've been trying to describe to people what it feels like to have schizophrenia. Great video.

[@ilostmypickle]

My son tries his best to understand what I'm going through. He's patient and kind, even though he can't identify with my train of thought or where my aberant behaviors suddenly spring from or what place the new ideas come from. He doesn't lecture me. He asks if there's anything I need, if I need a hug, or if there is something that he can do for me at the moment. He knows things change...sometimes quickly. It makes a huge difference for me not having someone criticizing me and knowing that the person I am around doesn't judge me for not being quite right in the head. He accepts me and I do my very best to keep centered, or at least functional, and express how much he means to me and that I love him and that I appreciate who he is as a person. I know 'm there for him when he needs me, too. So, it's one thing less that I feel a lot of guilt about...some still...but not as badly. I shelter away from most people now so th I'm not a burden.
