Schizophrenia Episode On Camera

Find out what’s going on here.

Hello, my name is Michelle and I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I document episodes of psychosis on a security camera in my apartment to demonstrate that they are typically non-violent. In these recordings, you will see me sitting on my couch talking to myself, making angry faces, but ultimately not harming anyone or posing a threat.

I wanted to clarify what’s going on in this video. Yes I am Jewish. Thank you for everyone who pointed out my nose. What I didn’t like was being told I look Hasidic. Not that I don’t like them, however the women dress modestly, such as; not showing collar bones, covering arms up to elbows and wearing long skirts past the knees. Therefore… do I look Hasidic…not just Jewish….Hasidic?

That was definitely shade thrown.. 😮‍💨 You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life from somebody who don’t even have the audacity to be real.. 😤

Two of my sons have schizophrenia. One takes meds the other refuses! The one taking meds is managed but the meds dull his personality. My heart breaks for them both. I worry all the time about them. People with schizophrenia often suffer needlessly for years. You’re brave to post these.

My dad has it, whenever he has an episode I just kindly bring him back to reality or I'll engage in a conversation with him. Otherwise I'll say a silent prayer and he'll come around, he's 87 and has been through so much since childhood. Being drafted to the army just added to the situation and now that my mom has past away I just keep a sharp eye on him. Talking about strong and resilient man, he's the last member of 12 siblings. My parent's had several children, 5 girls and 2 boys both boys have passed on.

I'm the youngest of all and I take care of my dad the same way Ive taken care of my mom 🥰

Rip mommy 89 years, thank you God for the time we shared 🙏🏽🙌🏽

schizophrenia runs in my family — and my mother has it badly, the voices tell her that the medicine is bad, so she refuses to take her meds. Me and my father are her targets most of the time, the voices tell her how awful we are, how evil we are when we are just trying to help her. I'm 17 and I know shes having it rough, but for the past 4 years we've tried to help her, and everytime she verbally abuses me and my father. I can't even say I love her anymore because truly.. I can't. it hurts. schizophrenia is scary and awful

My late fiance was diagnosed with schizophrenia, it was emotionally scary and sad to watch. He deviated from reality back in 2020 during the lockdown. He told me he would hear voices and he would respond to the voices by having full blown conversations and laughter with whoever. I would ask him who was he talking to, he would tell me they're famous people, elvis presley, marilyn monroe, david bowie, and various dead celebs and musicians. One day he walked out of the house wearing women's clothing and high heels. I was so angry and hurt and felt hurt. The police picked him up for loitering, shoplifting, and he got three dui's, his vehicle got towed. He became a raging violent alcoholic on top of all of it. I watched him completely change to a whole other person. He was also placed in a mental psych ward twice. The doctors at the psych ward were cruel and they prescribed meds and inoculated him with fluphenazine. When he came home, the psych meds gave him horrible side effects, he started to drool every where and couldn't walk right. It was awful to watch. Last year on July 23, he was walking near the train tracks, and got clipped by the incoming freight train, and died immediately. This is what the police told me. I still wonder if he committed suicide.. I'm still grieving over his death, looking back at his last days, I understand now he suffered tremendously and I wish I knew how to save him 😢😢😢. I wish I could have hugged him, kissed him. I never expected him to die tragically. I miss him endlessly.

Idk how I stumbled on this channel but I think you’re pretty badass for being so open about your troubles. God bless.

I was misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia for nearly 20 years. The stigma, the meds and the treatment you get are no fun. No fun at all. Hats off to schizophrenics.

[amandaparker]

thank you for sharing this, that takes bravery and I’m sure you will help many struggling ❤

My mother was schizophrenic, I feel like the world definitely learn more about it. Thanks for posting this.

[sarahbeavon]

I love how you embrace this side of yourself and keep it real. A lot of people with schizophrenia will try to hide or deny they have issues at all. Much love and respect to you.❤

[mireli]

Not schizophrenic, but have a mental illness that may cause hallucinations (BPD) My hallucinations ask me how my day was and if I need anything, compliment me on my hair and makeup but also destroy my confidence.
I’ve heard and seen people talking shit about me, in reality, they were quiet the whole time and it was my disorder talking.

Thank you for posting this because it feels so lonely out there.

I was diagnosed with childhood schizophrenia and everyday is a struggle for both myself and the people around me. I'm 20 now and I'm learning to have a positive outlook on life and my future but I truly don't know what my future holds. How my brain will be like. A lot of the time I feel scared and hopeless. I'm incredibly grateful for my family who has stuck by me even when I was paranoid and violent and very out of it. Schizophrenia is scary. I'm scared. My family gets scared. Nobody should have to go through the terrors of such an illness. But I've come this far already and I'm a stubborn person. Be strong. I'm greatful there are people who talk about it. Show the truths.Who spread awareness. I'm truly grateful.

My mother had Schizophrenia and in the 70’s mental illness wasn’t managed properly she was paranoid, and delusional, and she was raising 4 children, and she endured shock treatment, many medications that didn’t work and she suffered, and it was shameful to be mentally ill, and my father worked 2 jobs because he didn’t know what to do, but he didn’t abandon us, or her, and she finally did get the right medication Perlixan and it helped a lot, so I hope you too can get the treatment you need and deserve because I know how frightening it is to see and hear things I thank you for sharing God bless you

I find it fascinating that hallucinatory "voices" tend to be more benign and playful in Africa and India. We definitely need more amazing people like this who are willing to share their own experiences. It really helps to remove stigma and normalise mental health conditions.

[psychosoma]

My hallucinations try to help me, sometimes they’ll tell me jokes to make me smile or sing to me to calm me down

[ginamariewilson]

I'm so glad you post these. We see you. Mental illness shouldn't be something people are ashamed of. We all have struggles props to your strength.

My baby brother has, schizophrenia bi polar depression, he has many facials expressions and actually Different faces when he has episodes and always making some sort of hand gestures! He does well some days you'd never know it and other times my dad had to tackle him down he was shooting though my parents roof because he heard, things none of us did😢 and was seeing people there! I hope he never does this again cause my dad has passed away 2 yrs ago, and my elderly mother can't handle him physically! He's almost 40 lives still at home no wife no job has a cat he loves more than Anything I gave him last year he was in a badplace far as deep dark depression goes!
