who here suffers from this illness or know someone that deals with this? what are your thoughts on schizophrenics?

i was diagnose of this since 2007 and become a full neet around 2012 until today, we got a family history of this so my brother also suffers from this illness and we are both jobless, its not like i cannot work its just i either get force to resign because of incompetence especially my memory problems and lack of attention to details or i quit due to distress, too much stress trigger the voices and contrary to popular belief we do not have multiple personalities, plus my negative symptoms like laziness is too much now

@Rosy_Rose its gonna be a long way i think science needs to reverse engineer the human brain first before they can fully understand the brain and cure all mental illness that way

I somehow don't even though I was being told I did for years. Got reevaluated earlier this year, a rather expensive thing, but that psych said BPD and I guess that makes more sense to what is wrong and I was easily influenced otherwise. This only fuels my distrust with the current diagnosis too. I dunno man why I say this here other than it feels like a perfect place to declare my frustration at that previous diagnosis that caused my life to spiral out of control. In defense of the system there was drug fueled psychosis to varying degrees, that insane shroom trip at the start of 2020 really scrambled my brains entirely yeah that was fucked.

Regardless I don't like this situation but mental illness is a scam anyway. Fuck it, we're all fine we just gotta get our shit together.

I should be happy I aint a schizo but it's more guilt that I let myself be tricked into being a liar about it because I wasn't but was convinced I was but still I should've had better judgement. Sorry for having all that shit making me a cringe loser not schizo convinced they were to anyone who may have been inconvenienced with my presence.

@Nette misdiagnosis in psychiatry happens a lot, as for me and my brother we got a family history of this illness so we sadly inherited it too plus we do not do drugs

My thoughts on it is that it is really unfair that it is genetic. It is not 100% genetic since your environment is also a factor. But the genetic risks are pretty high. It makes my heart ache for those that unfairly have to deal with it through no fault of their own. Because schizophrenics are just born with it or get it possibly through an event/trauma or a habit that triggers and aggravates the issue. I wish there will be there more advancement in medicine to cure it

@Zarutaku nope the voices cannot be controlled, i can just distract myself so that they go away but that does not always work and upping the dose of the medicine can a lot of times reduce the intensity of the hallucinations

@tsukareru true its just the human brain is one of the most complex things in the world, and as computer programming says the more complex a thing is the more error prone it is too

I worked in the ER and unfortunately a lot of the patients that would trickle in suffered from mental illness. I would say I personally haven’t met someone with schizophrenia who isn’t requiring care with family/sitter, plus being on an anti-psychotic. I would say I admire the strength to be able to go about your day distinguishing between voices, not feeling understand and wish there was better support so those suffering didn’t feel as isolated

I don't have mental illness such as schizo
But if deep depression is considered as mental illness, then yes I have it

I have, however, physical chronic pain at sacrococcygeal joint, 7 years, that is bent abnormally, causing pain every single day, and depending on activities, can go into extremely painful, which cause a lot of stress and therefore bring forth anger and other negative emotions

@m0llerz ye when voice hallucinations strikes my brain by default believes they are real and its hard to convince my scumbag brain its fake or not real thats why antipsychotics helps a lot since it reduces the high emotions like stress that triggers this voices

* I know what I say is gonna sound very conspiracy theory but it's unfortunately true *

I don't exactly know if my Dad & Sister were actually diagnosed with schizophrenia, as I don't think we had our side of our story listened to, but they had signs that mimicked it, but our illnesses also mimic these signs when exposed to certain things, as we were all very chemically sensitive.
Because my mother was such a thorn in the side to powerful people who wronged us medically & legally, I believe there's been a few attempts to cause us harm via chemicals. My mother's colleague was hospitalised from a strange something when in a meeting, my mother was also affected by it. We had a strange powder applied to the door handle of our house in Wales, where my mother primarily lived. Anyone who touched the handle got sick, even my eldest sister and her husband, and they weren't affected by our main poisoning illness and sensitivities. Also at our main home in my hometown, we had a guy we didn't know who was just wiping down the front of our house.
My mother sort of connected all these things to those against us, but I don't know...

Anyway...

It's very sad, both my sis & Dad had random moments where they just became so different and quite violent and uncontrollable.
My Dad actually grabbed some scissors and threatened us with them, and we had to barricade ourselves in my room until Police came.
My sister's first episodes had her dislocating her jaw a few times, and she also jumped out of her 2nd floor window, as voices in her head told her to steal something from a grocery store (she later told us).

They both were sectioned about 3 times I think? each time my sister came out, she seemed to regress more upon each release, and I'm genuinely shocked they let her out. They were never quite so violent again, but they weren't themselves either.
My Dad when he first came out was basically a zombie, later basically becoming an adult baby, he could eat, watch TV and sleep, that was it.
My sister now barely remembers us and thinks we're strangers. She keeps phoning everyone up trying to figure out who they are.

I don't think their care was the best, especially concerning our illnesses, as we have our own places to go to, but we weren't believed, mainly probably because the cover-up we're involved in altered our medical records, and they were just dealt with normally.
My Dad had 30+ ECTs against our wishes, but they did it anyway. Both of them were on meds way too long, and too high a dose that also gave them side effects. My Dad's gut in particular was absolutely wrecked and he found it difficult to keep food down.
Drugs seem to numb the problem to make them easier for others to deal with, wish there was a proper cure.

Most schizophrenics are not aggressive, and are more likely to be victims of violence rather than perpetrators. Media coverage, especially movies, portrayed schizophrenic characters as criminal, dangerous, violent, unpredictable, suicidal, and depicted delusions and hallucinations as the main symptoms of schizophrenic characters, ignoring other common symptoms. People with schizophrenia are commonly exploited and victimized by crime as part of a broader dynamic of social exclusion. People diagnosed with schizophrenia are also subject to forced medication, seclusion, and restraint at high rates.

I thought your brother was working for some time?

Delusions are result of trying to make sense of their own experiences the ones that occur external (life) as well as internal (hallucinations). It's a sort of overdriven pattern recognition finding things to seem significant that aren't.

The negative symptoms and creating social connectivity of support over the experiences may hold more importance than trying to quell hallucinations and delusions in themselves. Hallucinations and even delusions aren't even inherently a problem, it is a matter of forms of manifestation and skills available to manage it as to whether or not it is a problem. This is a little more in line with the Hearing Voices Movement and the views of R.D Laing than the current convention.

Antipsychotics first gen, second gen and somewhat this loosely dubbed third gen are inadequate and too many side effects causing low adherence to them. The withdrawals from antipsychotics abruptly stopped can cause psychosis even if someone did not have a psychotic disorder to begin with in theory anyway. Their use is excessive, where best use is on first psychotic break then to slowly wean them off following a hyperbolic dosage curve once stabilized. This should increase remission and recovery rates, though not for everyone. TAAR1 agonist antipsychotics seem promising meds in development

One girl I knew with schizoaffective disorder had a guy she always saw which was very strange. He looked like an OC she made and was always present as if she had created a tulpa. If I recall correctly I had told her to imagine a sort of shield bubble around him distancing him from her and a dial volume and to turn down the dial to silence him. This actually worked a little bit she said, first try, where his voice got quieter. Im not sure if she kept this up since I lost contact when she switched to Discord but I do wonder if enough practice hallucinations can be controlled.

There is studies linking it to the diet of the mother during pregnancy. High methionine and low choline to my recall. Choline is particularly important for fetal development but is lacking in prenatal vitamins often.

ye i feel like my negative symptoms like man of few words, being asocial and being too lazy aka avolition is more worse than the hallucinations and delusions

interesting well hallucinations is like when youre dreaming while waking up but rather a nightmare when youre awake so maybe lucid dreaming techniques can be applied to them but to me it never works though because the more i try to control the voices the more stress i become and more stress is fuel to the voices

@fleurbleue its the worst case scenario but me and my brother got 10 years of sss pension contributions back when we are still part of the workforce so we might get some disability assistance if they allow us that is but ye i heard its hard to get it though they are too strict on giving disability pensions here

Someone who has a delusion can't be convinced they are having a delusion because they will find mental ways around it. It's called anosognosia.

This is 18 minutes long but about halfway through the speaker talks to a delusional guy in the audience and you can see how he can't be convinced he's not married to this woman he has been perusing for like 20 years.

I personally do not know anyone who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. But alot of times when working the road we'll get calls about people doing weird things and when we respond out, they are individuals that unfortunately suffer from schizophrenia. And the majority of the time these individuals are also homeless. And its genuinely really sad to see, as you want to do everything you can to help them, but the most we can do is either Baker Act them if we believe they want or are at risk to hurt themselves or others or maybe a ride somewhere. But thats pretty much it.

deg if you don't mind, I would like to ask you about the symptoms and effects that you suffer from schizophrenia. I apologize if that comes off as rude or insensitive, but sometimes you have to ask questions like these in order to help people better.

no need to help me but out of your curiousity

my positive symptoms aka hallucinations and delusions are sexual psychosis and that is why i consider myself bi and my cognitive problems is poor attention span and weak attention to details and memory problems about social relationships, at my worst i was suicidal

my negative symptoms are mainly too much laziness aka avolition and man of few words, honestly the negative symptoms makes me not take care of myself much and its more problematic

deg if you don't mind, I would like to ask you about the symptoms and effects that you suffer from schizophrenia. I apologize if that comes off as rude or insensitive, but sometimes you have to ask questions like these in order to help people better.


no need to help me but out of your curiousity

@deg have you tried to work again? Laziness can definitely worsen mental health. For instance, if you don't have any particular skills, you can teach english language in your country, because your english is quite good, and definitely many kids to adults want to learn english language. If you are physically not in pain and can start spending say 1 to 2 hours everyday to teach language (gradually increase the duration at your convenience), I am almost certain it can improve your quality of life (mental health, financial definitely, etc.).

@deg In my opinion, it is worth for you to give it at least a try. Just try 1 month, if you really cannot handle it, then give up. The whole experience of teaching for some people can bring joy instead of stress. Sitting playing online forum for hours answering and debating to people online say for 10 minutes for me can stress me out, let alone for years every single day. But I never know it before actually I was in that situation before. I am surprised sometimes it doesn't stress you out. So, maybe try finding new experience in life that is productive but not stressing you out at the same time

I mean if you never try to teach, then maybe it's worth to try
