Sometimes I laugh at them out loud and it’s super embarrassing 😂

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

😂

[@MelissaAndJacoby2024]

I used have this problem it went away literally when I gave my life to Christ Jesus is real!!

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

That is a problem when you are laughing and people stare at you “ Why are you laughing? We are in a funeral and you are laughing, you don’t show any respect. You can’t tell them “ Sorry, I am not laughing about the fact that person isn’t longer around us, I am having some memories that came up to my mind or conversations with my thoughts or voices that are talking to me and them make me to giggle.

Congratulations I’m going to school online now suffering from schizophrenia I need your story to keep pushing

I don't have hallucinations, but I've talked out loud whenever I'm by myself (to whatever extent) for as long as i can remember. My partner of over 6 years (and known each other much longer) was on the computer with headphones on, and I was blabbing to myself about whatever. Full conversation. Suddenly just hear, "Babe??" I look over at them, their face very perplexed. And they ask who I was talking to. I was so confused, and asked them if they'd never noticed that I constantly talk to myself. They were home, but I was just doing my own thing, going in and out of rooms, picking things up, and generally meandering. I was honestly shocked they'd somehow never found out before then o.O because we've seriously known each other for about 2 decades... Definitely a surreal experience.

[@marywilliams9858]

Why are you calling him they? He is only one person...

[@starkitten2762]

​@@marywilliams9858 The person they're speaking with uses the pronouns "they, them," I would imagine.

[@one-seventeen.rev310]

​@marywilliams9858 they said partner, but still bugs the question, how can you be a "they"

[@MelissaAndJacoby2024]

It’s a spirit need deliverance!!

We are all human beings some of us are born with this disorder some not the best way to get out of that keep your mind occupied read a book listen to music art any activities to keep you active the mind and body going and prayer 🙏

[@tatianna8214]

Same sometimes I whisper back to them😮. But it's ok. It's you. It's ok. I so the same thing. don't worry you got this.stay strong.

3 yrs of mine was living in job corps 4 ppl to a room I never took medicine and hid it took the torcher to the chin very hard

[@tellwel3767]

Mission accomplished.? U are giving answers to all my questions on schizophrenia. How mental illness is/can be. Thank you love ❤️

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

When someone tells me “ Who are you taking to”? Well, I am talking to myself, it is just a monologue, I am learning or I am practicing my foreign languages spoken skills” I am singing or reading an article out loud or telling myself a story. I am rehearsing what I am going to tell to my friend. These are my excuses to avoid the truth. Michelle, people don’t know much about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or my illness “ schizoaffective disorder + ADHD”. I only take medication for my ADHD. The other meds for bipolar with schizophrenia symptoms cause me massive side effects. I don’t want to sleep in inappropriate places. The meds make me sleep too much. Teachers had to wake me up in the classroom. The sedation effect was too much for me.

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

Thank you for sharing,

[@edenshorthousesthouse1925]

I've never had my own room well I did for about 2 months in my life or was too tired to talk I just think like there's an intuitive Facebook page.

[@user-cu5br8hh7z]

My schizophrenia really bothers me at night it's hard to get sleep 😴 a lot of nights 😞

[@moonpye777]

Still... it's ok to speak it outloud. Sometimes they need to be heard. Either way, i appreciate tremendously. No shame, no filter. 💓

[@b1llionhighpriestess]

Thats great you can control it, none of the meds work for my dad, hes losing his life

[@DirtyMac5151]

Omg, I've never been able to verbalize what I do like you just did. I started internalizing my reality breaks in college as well bc of embarrassment in front of others. I couldn't control myself and got into some altercations on the bus going to and from school.

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

You got this!

[@joceelee]

Makes me think that part of your brain recognises that they’re hallucinations/delusions. I have similar hallucinations/delusions but most of the time I consciously know almost right away and do try to stop them even if they’re not nasty. I’ve had them for a couple of years and found that they have reduced a bit from trying hard to stop them as soon as they start. But yeah, they take a shortcut in the brain and are accepted as real right away.

[@kyliemason189]

Do you thknk these open video journals help you to not have episodes of talking to yourself?

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

Absolutely

[@notormal]

Thank you for your videos you've really made me reflect and consider working through some things

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

I'm so glad!

[@user-bj5gs4eq2r]

I try to not speak out loud to them because it increases the delusion.

[@thecrazycatgirl]

Do you normally talk to the same hallucinations or are they different every time?

[@daviddeymonaz8168]

Me to or it will consume me

[@LeonordelasMercedesMartinez]

Mí hijo está enfermo y no tiene sus medicamentos,sigo su programa porque aprendo a entender y a conocer sobre la esquizofrenia

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

Maybe he doesn’t like the medication he’s on. Maybe try new medication. I’ve thrown many medications in the garbage before I found what I liked. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@thecringequeen31]

If you see the hallucinations and think they are real, how are you able to only talk out loud to real, physical things?

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

Idk muscle memory

[@tinamoosheh8320]

So do you know that you’re hallucinating? As it’s happening? Or is there difficulty separating the hallucinations from reality? I’m really interested in learning more about this

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

I don’t know I’m hallucinating

[@Darby.Brewer]

Do you find ignoring them helps?

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

I can’t ignore them

[@lajuanaraye]

I have several friends with schizophrenia and they cannot control it. They also cannot keep jobs, houses or get a degree. Hmmmm

[@notormal]

Do you kind of feel like you're in a daze half awake half asleep state of mind during your episodes? Because that's what I go through. Sometimes I think it might be because I live alone and have been living alone for the past 3 1/2 years and maybe I just missed my ex-husband or Mom and just hallucinate them being around.

[@ephjay6t87]

I just thought you were ignoring me. ❤

[@hristinakikaa8949]

Please tell me are you me ok to have kids with person with sizofrenia

[@SchizophrenicNYC]

It’s your decision. I would have kids if I wanted.

[@hristinakikaa8949]

@@SchizophrenicNYC thank for reply I wonder if it a hereditary disease and what percentage is hereditary???

[@mrsjrenae4738]

@@hristinakikaa8949 It is definitely genetic and I would not recommend having children to subject to schizophrenia. The chance they have a mental health disorder is extremely extremely high. It sucks truly! But plenty of people have kids anyway because they're hoping and praying their child is "normal" but most end up Bi-Poplar, Scizophrenic, or a combination of things.

[@lealorenzen5203]

Amazingly you are self aware.

[@luljetagojani2927]

Having to deal with voices that aren't very kind it's quite challenging. 😂

[@joelgulick393]

Yo, just like you’re doing right now staring into this camera expecting people to listen to you. You’re hallucinating again. This is your mind speaking to you.

My friend may he rest in peace used to call me and tell me people were out to get him. I would talk him out of it. Unfortunately he od’d before court ordered rehab

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

@@SchizophrenicNYC I dislike such comments. Religious people should take this problem seriously. What you have is real, it not a demon who is stalking you. They do believe you are possessed by satan or a demon and you need a priest who can cast out the demon who is on your mind. It is detrimental how religion can brainwash your brain. Please stop writing such comments, religious people. You are not helping Michelle with your comments. She has schizophrenia, not a demon who entered in her body in her childhood. Please stop assuming she needs Jesus Christ to save her.

[@jennifermathews5476]

How do you know it's a hallucination and not real people you're speaking to? I don't know anything about this subject.
