I'm a veteran, was actually diagnosed with schizophrenia since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

I knew someone who was a good guy and people literally gaslighted him until he actually became schizophrenic. The world is not a good place but there might be some decent people if you’re patient.

My daughter gradually developed this over time, and I new she wasn't well, but I couldn't get her to the doctor because she thought she was perfectly well. Then one day after many warning signs, she had a full blown mental break down. I have since gotten her to a doctor and councilor, but she makes every excuse not to take her medicine. This has been as one can see very difficult for everyone, as when she had the breakdown, she went into the neighbor's yard looking for the voices she was hearing, and got thrown in jail for 8 mo. For trespassing and stalking. Neighbors are judge and law enforcement people, unfortunately. My husband did not want me to bail her out as he was at a loss as to how to handle her. Have heard that the mental institutions are pretty terrible places. Everything is all about business and money. No one wants to help anyone unless it is very lucrative. It's a sad world right now. Her father and I are getting old, and I need to get her diagnosed so she can get disability before we are gone. I'm so scared.

Am diagnosed with schizophrenia and symptoms come and go. I work hard on myself, philosophy helps and creating music and sounds do too!

Too true stress is the cause of a lot of mental health problems also can lead to depression and suicide we're living in a pressurised world

I don't think people with schizophrenia are neccesarily disconnected from reality but rather, they experience uncommon thoughts, feelings. Which are totally REAL for them. For example i was smelling fire and hearing sirens. People can tell me it's not real but for me it was absolutely real. I was completely stressed out and depressed and ended up being institutionalized for 2 months. This was about 2 years ago, have been doing a lot better and hopefully never going back to such a dark depressing state of being which is caused by extremely stressful difficult life circumstances that YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT or escape it. You don't always know what's happening so it's not always possible to prevent depression/psychosis and other illnesses if you don't know what's happening yourself. So get help if you're lost, scared, alone, depressed, anxious etc. Love you all.

This is sad 🤦🏾‍♀️ My heart goes out to anyone dealing with this disorder

[scottthomas]

my voices actually tell me things that improve my self esteem am i just lucky?

Got diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia 10 years ago now. Still have the voices (i call her "vicky" lol) but with the injection its a lot easier to deal with. Don't make the mistake i did for years, and medicate with alcohol. It stops the meds from working and combined with the Anti-psychotics nearly screwed my Liver. Its the stigma that's difficult for me - ive had many people assume im violent, just because the way its portrayed in movies and culture.

It can be overcome - and you learn your own personal coping skills in the end. But even that took me years. I don't want your sympathy - all i ask is your understanding.

I am diagnosed with schizophrenia. I think it’s just when you under too much stress 😊

I stay away from family for good reason. If your family are mostly narcissist what would you do? I'm more on the vigilant side of things as opposed to being paranoid. "One man's lack of emotion is another man's indifference' ~atum

Schizophrenia is such an unfair disease 😢

[mentaluka]

I like the way this videos show the stages of the schizophrenia and the explanation of each stage.

My bedroom wall talks to me, sometimes my table and wardrobe.

I believe that I read the following in the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
A woman spent about 13 years in a Psychiatric hospital diagnosed with Schizophrenia. When a new administrator took over, he discovered that she was allergic to dairy products!
She was released from the hospital.
Our brain is very complicated.

My problems started when I answered telephones at a telemarketing firm in Illinois during he World Trade Center attacks. I was instructed to say "The planes are down and we are not shipping" for an entire day. We got flooded with phone calls, some losing their jobs - that being myself. I had just turned 21 years of age and went on a smoking and drinking binge for ten years. After I was informed that a friend from High school had died from a drug overdosed, I chose to tell everyone that knew to go away and I am going to conquer my own addictions - booze and cigarettes, like painting over dirt. I quit drinking alcoholic drinks for 10 years but I still struggle with a bit of a nicotine addiction.

It’s hard to take a medication that makes you feel as crappy as normal people.

[AryaHime]

If you are already paranoid (for instance, the feeling of being followed on the street, but actually there's nobody) and because of that, you're aware that you might get schizophrenia at some point in the future.. would that actually impede it from happening since you would know that you would see/hear is not real? Or perhaps at least impede it from being too severe? I am really afraid I might have this when I get old, and I would like to know how my mind would react to such things. Can people be aware and stay calm even if they see something horrifying happening in front of them or anything like that? Can you make the distinction from reality and illusions?
