That was oddly specific about the skin tag...

I know someone with schizophrenia, and I fee for him. It's been incredibly heartbreaking. He truly hears my voice saying things like, "You're gay" and "I'm going to make you gay." I've never said anything like that. Sometimes he looks at me says my name and says, "I'm not gay" or "You're not going to make me gay." Last week, he said, "Let's make peace, please. Don't make me go out with him." It makes me cry. I turn to these videos to help me understand :(

Mental illness is not a joke. I've had coworkers talking to themslves and old friends that thought i was a under cover cop, and really believed that I was a agent since childhood that watched him to lead to his arrest

DELUSIONS ARE THE WORST! They have affected my life in some of the most unexpected and unfortunate ways. The most lonely feeling is when someone you love and trust gets frustrated and tells you that what you’re experiencing isn’t at all real when physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically and consciously it is all very real to you.

inappropriate laughter always made socializing difficult for me but now I have the education to explain why I'm laughing (or rather, that I'm not trying to)
it frightens people.

I’m a female and have been living with psychosis since the age of 26-27 I’m now 50
Horrible horrible condition!
It’s absolutely exhausting.
I now manage it with meds.
It’s a strange illness to have as it’s not usually myself that notices the break in me but others around me.

There's a man who lives in my town. I think he lives outside. He gets foodstamps because I've seen him go to the grocery store and purchase food with them. He doesn't work. He just walks all around town all day every day with a hiking backpack. If you speak to him, he won't respond. When people have tried to force him to interact, he becomes hostile and violent and doesn't make any sense. He keeps to himself and every once in a while you'll see him having a conversation with himself but he immediately stops talking if he notices someone is paying attention. Aside from the fact that he is not a fully functional person, he seems happy and healthy and doesn't bother anyone.

My 32 year old big brother has schizophrenia. It’s been such a suffering for my whole family. He refuses to take meds and we are at our wits end.

Yeah I got schizophrenia and I wish it would go away. Tired of the hallucinations and not being able to communicate. I always feel like I’m acting and I forgot who I was; basically became a whole new person lost so many friends and relationships along the way. All they do it keep me on medication but the medication takes my ability to speak and be myself. I’m so tired of it.

Thank you Tracey for posting very helpful videos.

If you listen to some of these symptoms, it’s almost like social media trains us into schizophrenic behaviours. It is one factor of many, course. With social media you can laugh hysterically to something of augumented/ virtual reality. You can hear audio and see things that aren’t really there. You are isolated, whether you are by yourself or not. Your attention span goes down and it’s hard to plan things and focus on real life.

I spent 15yrs of my life believing i was a schizo and 2yrs taking medicines for this illness, by the time I was 26 I wanted to end my life and then something me stopped the violence.. I wondered who it was then, but then I didn't go through it I was sent to the pyschward and I didn't remember what had happened to me but I'm 32 now and I've been reading and listening to the Bible since I was 29yrs of age but I will mention that soon so in that time when I was 26 I think I felt the holy spirit in that situation where I was going to take my life, He stopped me from wrongfully taking the gift He gave to me. I couldn't explain it until I was 29 when covid began and it hit me in 2022 around January I got hit with covid 19 and it put me in a coma for 2 weeks and I saw a lot of things that happening today now and I heard this voice in the coma and that scared me, but I also saw my loved ones flashing through my mind. I remember hearing from the darkness of the deep and He said "Not Yet" in a loud whispering Gentle voice but it was a deep voice, man I've never would have known until I began reading the Bible and taking notes but I don't believe in this Schizophrenia anymore because 1. The drugs were ruining my brain function and 2. When I began talking to God about my problems and he listened and it is said that God works through you and I understood Him. Those voices you hear are just you allowing the enemy to enter your Kingdom (Mind & Heart) and twist your thoughts into something bad, I then started to think of them as spiritual attacks from the enemy and when I read books like proverbs and psalms it felt like I was equipping his Armor and then I found the sword Matthew 5:3-14 whew I still need to find the others but talking to strangers who need to escape this world's prison and start socializing more soon we won't have access to the internet and our money won't matter anymore yall need to pick up the sword too if you want to wake up again.

There was this girl and she was literally perfect. Everything about her, but……. I just didn’t know what to do still to this day. I want to help her but I just feel like I can’t. She was perfect but it just feels like it’s impossible to communicate with her. Sometimes I don’t even know if she’s comprehending what I’m saying. It breaks my fucking heart. I want her to live a productive, normal life and I don’t know if that’s possible and I’m just here watching these videos looking for an answer.

My friend is having a schizophrenic attack right now. He’s posting delusions and verbal abuse on his Instagram story. I really don’t know what to do. It’s sad to see him like this

Update: His parents and university decided to take him to a good hospital, it took him a few months to fully heal, he’s fine now and is aware and regretful of what he did

It's interesting to note that the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder are quite similar. All the examples of negative symptoms in this video are easily found in autistic people.

I was diagnosed in late 2018, and it changed my life forever. I have a lot of the symptoms listed in this video and am glad to have taken the meds. Even though I still have some symptoms It has made my life much better.

Thanks Dr. Marks. Schizoaffective bipolar type runs on both sides of my family. I never questioned my mothers obvious hallucinations nor did anyone else. We didn't know any better back then. So glad there's more education and treatment now.

[hughgraham]

What of pastors that say god spoke to me? Or politicians who claim to be the chosen one?

[midnightjasmine]

I told my partner that I was just diagnosed schizophrenic and three days later he started nastily calling 'schizo'. I hadn't done anything. It's very hurtful.
