Hey guys. I'm battling from schizophrenia. I'm not asking for money or views or anything, but just for support and for people to hear me out. My psychiatrist said to let people know about your problem, but everyone thinks I'm weird and my family cannot understand or take me seriously. I made a blog about my problems, and I hope we can talk on there. My blog is battlingschizophrenia.blogspot.com . Fellow schizophrenics, you should also come. We can fight the battle together.
where is thise is it second life the online game they have a sim almost identical to thise and has the same name it was scary but i stuck it out thank god i dont have it and i feel sorry for those who do its hell
Schizophrenia is just like being high, you react the way any other normal person would react given the conditions they experience. maybe its not a problem, maybe they just trully are naturally high!!! doctors wanna find out how it feels? take some shrooms or better yet LSD. then stop saying its an illness and find out how the f to fix these problems without pharmaceuticals
@iminlov3 The reason patients with schizophrenia hallucinate is from elivated levels of DMT (If I'm correct) so you would probably have better luck on a true experiance by having a bad DMT trip on a low dose (not enough to take you from this world).
This makes me really sad. What is the best way to react to someone who tells you they hear voices though? Should I tell them they don't exist, and risk being hated or not trusted...or do I tell them to block the voices out?
I'm glad that this technology is available today (and its vastly improved over the last couple years). People like myself have a very hard time explaining why its so difficult to function when we're experiencing breakthrough symptoms of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia, how many of you got it?/ How many motherfuckas can say that they're psychotic/ How many motherf**kers can say that their brains dry-rotted from pot?/
You got it like I got it or not?/
If you did you would know just what I'm talking 'bout/
When your tongue's rotting out from cotton mouth/When you end up becoming so dependent on weed/
@splendour97 yes but to the person with this disease that illusion is actually there. if they hallucinate and see fire and happen to touch it, to them, it actually feels like they are burning even if they are not physically burning.
@RiseAgainstTheDay But you see what I'm saying is that, Its not in the touch that they think they are burning its the connection in the brain that makes it feel to them as if its happenning.
I knew about the voices and I knew about the shadows and strange visions but this... isn't it a bit too exagerated? I know someone who had schizophrenia but, what he was seeing and hearing has never got to this extent! I mean.. a third eye appearing on someone's forehead? Voices being distorted? A red halo of flaming light behind somebody and then this somebody having his head grow three time its normal size? Could these representations be for more advanced schizophrenics?
@Jaiden11 it's different for everyone.I personally have more audio hallucinations than visual ones&for me,they're not all scary.I hear voices almost all the time,but I have one that's nice and doesn't yell,which helps with coping.The visual stuff can be ultra distracting to super terrifying.I've seen people/animals who aren't there,I'll read a sign or whatever and it'll look like it says something it doesn't,see blood on my face in the mirror, stuff like that.There's no "typical" schizophrenia.
If you want to know what its like to be a skiz0 take a sheet of acid.... i had a long period of schizophrenia that lasted about two yeahs... i think it was triggered by a bad batch of lsd along with prior stuff.... im fine now as long as i dont think about it too much or think in paradoxes i went about two years thinking i died and i was living in a bizarre afterlife with paranoia that my friends where all imaginary... but i wouldn't say all forms of skizophrenia are like this but this could
this may seem like a silly question, so if i constantly hear voice in my head, but its always mine and only mine(not always a positive happy thinking voice, more of a paranoid one), that's normal right?
"oh you have been cured you say? Well, take on these goggles and remember the pain you went through, do you feel sick again?" - "Yes" - "Interesting, keep them on".
@haproductions01 Yeah,there are many research documents citing the correlation or relationship of schizophrenia to altered states through hallucinogens.I believe much can be learned if these ridiculous drug laws would be eliminated.
@rusmantapsan ok so they did show the guy who was actually schizo. he said that was accurate. that must completely suck ass. no wonder people have to be on disability. and then the drugs u take to get rid of that crap are full of side effects, some of which can be permanent. dont ever make fun of the mentally ill cuz look at that shit. thats horrifying.
oh man i cant even imagine. i have a new found sympathy for the schizophrenic. that must be so distracting, so friggin horrifying.....i seriously tearing up right now thinking about the poor souls who have to try to get through the sheer difficulty of life, and then u have that bullshit to deal with too. makes me thankful im somewhat sane! dont take what u have or dont have for granted, cuz u could have that going on in ur head. no wonder people want to kill themselves just to make it stop!
It would only be valid if schizophrenics develop the technology, not the healthy people. How do they know if thats what they see? plus many hallucinations are associated with personal experiences and memories... How are you going to simulate that?
@Rusmanpatsan what they didnt say in this is that the Jansenn institute worked with actual schizophrenic patients to gather information on what the experiences were like, and what they saw, heard, smelled, maybe even tasted
@Rusmanpatsan i saw this in its entirety on 20/20 and they put it on a guy who was schizo but on meds so he was ok, and he couldnt handle it. he had to take it off and he was sweating. the reporter asked him "is that what it was really like, the distorted faces, the voices" and the guy said yea. u could tell he didnt want to go back to that place cuz it was how he used to be. he wanted to run out of the room, etc.
i remember i felt like this when I was tripping out on salvia laced with pcp. I started hallucinating extremely badly. I called the cops, was on the phone with a cop and she asked me what my birthday was, I told her November 16th. She asked me again and I repeated. For a third time I heard her ask me for my birthday and i answered. Then she started screaming like she was trying to get through to me "why do you keep repeating your birthday????!!!" i was scared as fuck.
I bet an schizophrenic wrote the Bible!.. back then they could see an schizophrenic like a predictor or something!...this vid is crazy!! I got scare just watching I don't know how people with this condition live. Your technically living in an ongoing lsd trip.. What will happen if a schizophrenic takes lsd?
@anapao89 the condition possibly gets worse after your done with the drug effect. hallucinogens made my schizophrenia worse, so i had to quit all my drug habits.
@hot4art Good for u!!! really :) I won't say I feel sorry for u cuz that's the worst thing people can say to somebody else! All I can say is that I admire people that make it through life such as yourself, with such condition! It really makes me think twice when complaining about something in my life!
Surely augmented reality would be a more appropriate method.. This is basically a cartoon.
Schizophrenia is a blanket term for a collection of symptoms. Everyone's experience of it is completely unique and personal. In many ancient cultures a person who had Schizophrenia-like experiences might become a shaman and be a guide and healer to the community. In our society, I think, by outright rejecting the reality of the experiences, they are not able to be well understood or integrated.
This is similar to a bad Dramamine trip or smoking a lot of cannabis after being up for 2 days on amphetamines (Adderall). I've definitely had elements of everything in this video from my various "adventures".
take an sufficient dose of an active psychedelic compound and you will get results. see theres no such thing as schizophrenia its a man made myth of a desiese.
I am jealous of the way you see the world; in black and white casting judgment on everyone. If you don't feel it, it gives you the right to call it false.
Comparing psychotropic drug experience with schizophrenia is like comparing stars to planets, they are very different and they are both to do with the way the brain connects, other than that no.
How little you know and how safe you are in your miniature world that you demand exists, until you question it..
@PecanSandy309 I agree with you - first hand experience. @petemayo, Yes schizophrenia is real, but one must remember that it is manifested in the mind and there is a route out.
It started as auditory hallucinations which, at the time, were just confusing. I thought that people were really talking to me because it only happened in populated places. Later, though, it happened in the dark, and I started imagining where these voices could be coming from.
Every new route made more hallucinations, more plots against my sanity. I rationalized my thoughts and found which were hallucinations and which were reality. I then knew that the voices were created by my mind, therefore I could find a way to control them. I tricked the programming of these voices into playing for me instead of against me, and melded them into my conscious thoughts instead of having them stay - as i believe they were - as deeper, darker manifestations of my subconscious being.
It took eight months of work, and in the middle ground I found one grand suicidal scheme. Four months of eight I was confused and delusional, the remainder was the harder part - recognition and recovery.
Good luck on that road, to anyone who is near my own. If you can bear to be lonely for a year or more, you will come out a greater soul than you've ever known.
Yeah, mine are both Auditory and visual and I started hearing and seeing strange things (like I would talk to birds) at the age of 5. I was a Childhood Schizophrenic and now that I'm older, I still have the same reoccurring nightmares and see or hear strange things.
Wow. What drove me nearly insane was the absolute dreadful fidelity of that CGI. It's like a pre-rendered cutscene from a 1994 video game. Just awful.

All I hear is breathing in my ear, muttering & some how my thoughts are being auditorly projected from my internal thought process to the external, outside my head, where I can literally hear what I'm thinking. Trust me people, I'm not joking about this.
well that guy was sort of being a moron... I mean, he has psychological problems, but he was just looking at a video game, really. He didn't have to freak out like that.
I have been through those symptoms and they are 100% real to you....so real that they can leave you with PTSD from them....they are as real as reality. Imagine a guy back from Iraq who saw someone killed and him seeing a video simulation of someone being killed.... I believed my doctor was the devil and it was terrifying and real so I completely understand why it was so upsetting for him.
I understand too. I think it was good him watching it, but ive watched a few simulations and one has made me cry. Dont call me a pussy lol. It just took me back to when I was in that horible atmosphere of extreme emotion. I used to hear myself laughing like evily and it would not go. If I tried to sleep i would be able to see myself looking at myself. If your awake, sounds are amplified by a trilion and everything is so in your face. All i could hear was myself laughing and tht was horrible enuf
@JeffBeane dude, its like being raped, and having flashbacks of that rape after finnaly starting to deal with it. you really don't have any idea if you think he's overreacting
@ParodyPatches it's for a good cause i geuss, maybe it could help other people recover?? it's all research, but yeah i can understand what you mean about re-living it.
I think Schizophrenia would be less like Acid more like Datura (Jimson Weed).
It's hardly "psychedelic" like LSD, which is usually very enjoyable and often profoundly spiritual.
Schizophrenia is much more delirious in it's effects as those who have it believe their hallucinations are real. That would make closer to a Datura trip, but still far different.
I know what you are talking about. I took LSD just once (im not really into hard drugs) and the trip was good. I saw the "Colors" I heard the music (my footsteps made the beat and the sounds just added in my mind) it was awesome! The problem is I didn't realise the threat of flashbacks (even 6 months after taking the drug you can have'em) and the first flashback... (I had 2) was horrible. Screams horrible pictures, my limbs fell off & stuff. It was horrible.
You'd have to take a LOT of acid to come anywhere close to simulating schizophrenia. Most people who take LSD are aware that they're hallucinating, while schizophrenics generally can't distinguish between the hallucinations/delusions and reality.
I get minor Hallucinations when i get a fever an chilly all over my skin its EXTREMLY terrorfying now i understand what these other people go thru with these higher cases of constant hallucinations...
I remember seeing stuff like that on Xtc, its not even funny.
haha why dont they jsut drop some acid they use to do it back in the day. til the cia + dumbass full of themselves americans fucked it up for everyone.
fair enough. in my experience the people that fail on acid because of that either didn't do their homework on it first, and/or are just unable to handle viewing the world from an independent point of view that does not involve prejudice or stereotypical judgement. Both things which are major problems in our society.
@markd514 haha i dont even do drugs anymore but im glad i did try them the few times i did. I still maintain that having a bad trip is (unless a trick wasplayed on someone) almost entirely the responsibilty of whoevers having the trip, and no the drug. What does your comment have to do with this? If you've got nothing to say, say nothing at all.

Surely augmented reality would be a more appropriate method.. This is basically a cartoon.
Schizophrenia is a blanket term for a collection of symptoms. Everyone's experience of it is completely unique and personal. In many ancient cultures a person who had Schizophrenia-like experiences might become a shaman and be a guide and healer to the community. In our society, I think, by outright rejecting the reality of the experiences, they are not able to be well understood or integrated.

This is similar to a bad Dramamine trip or smoking a lot of cannabis after being up for 2 days on amphetamines (Adderall). I've definitely had elements of everything in this video from my various "adventures".

take an sufficient dose of an active psychedelic compound and you will get results. see theres no such thing as schizophrenia its a man made myth of a desiese.

I disagree, schizophrenia is real.
I am jealous of the way you see the world; in black and white casting judgment on everyone. If you don't feel it, it gives you the right to call it false.
Comparing psychotropic drug experience with schizophrenia is like comparing stars to planets, they are very different and they are both to do with the way the brain connects, other than that no.
How little you know and how safe you are in your miniature world that you demand exists, until you question it..

PecanSandy309 1 year ago
@PecanSandy309 I agree with you - first hand experience. @petemayo, Yes schizophrenia is real, but one must remember that it is manifested in the mind and there is a route out.
It started as auditory hallucinations which, at the time, were just confusing. I thought that people were really talking to me because it only happened in populated places. Later, though, it happened in the dark, and I started imagining where these voices could be coming from.
spencedore 1 year ago
Every new route made more hallucinations, more plots against my sanity. I rationalized my thoughts and found which were hallucinations and which were reality. I then knew that the voices were created by my mind, therefore I could find a way to control them. I tricked the programming of these voices into playing for me instead of against me, and melded them into my conscious thoughts instead of having them stay - as i believe they were - as deeper, darker manifestations of my subconscious being.

It took eight months of work, and in the middle ground I found one grand suicidal scheme. Four months of eight I was confused and delusional, the remainder was the harder part - recognition and recovery.
Good luck on that road, to anyone who is near my own. If you can bear to be lonely for a year or more, you will come out a greater soul than you've ever known.

Yeah, mine are both Auditory and visual and I started hearing and seeing strange things (like I would talk to birds) at the age of 5. I was a Childhood Schizophrenic and now that I'm older, I still have the same reoccurring nightmares and see or hear strange things.

I have been through those symptoms and they are 100% real to you....so real that they can leave you with PTSD from them....they are as real as reality. Imagine a guy back from Iraq who saw someone killed and him seeing a video simulation of someone being killed.... I believed my doctor was the devil and it was terrifying and real so I completely understand why it was so upsetting for him.

I understand too. I think it was good him watching it, but ive watched a few simulations and one has made me cry. Dont call me a pussy lol. It just took me back to when I was in that horible atmosphere of extreme emotion. I used to hear myself laughing like evily and it would not go. If I tried to sleep i would be able to see myself looking at myself. If your awake, sounds are amplified by a trilion and everything is so in your face. All i could hear was myself laughing and tht was horrible enuf

I think Schizophrenia would be less like Acid more like Datura (Jimson Weed).
It's hardly "psychedelic" like LSD, which is usually very enjoyable and often profoundly spiritual.
Schizophrenia is much more delirious in it's effects as those who have it believe their hallucinations are real. That would make closer to a Datura trip, but still far different.

I've had a bad trip on LSD, this virtual experience is probably like...a third to what I was experiencing but still very similar.
By the way I have had good trips on LSD etc so don't think I'm hating haha :P
Ullish1989 2 years ago
I know what you are talking about. I took LSD just once (im not really into hard drugs) and the trip was good. I saw the "Colors" I heard the music (my footsteps made the beat and the sounds just added in my mind) it was awesome! The problem is I didn't realise the threat of flashbacks (even 6 months after taking the drug you can have'em) and the first flashback... (I had 2) was horrible. Screams horrible pictures, my limbs fell off & stuff. It was horrible.

You'd have to take a LOT of acid to come anywhere close to simulating schizophrenia. Most people who take LSD are aware that they're hallucinating, while schizophrenics generally can't distinguish between the hallucinations/delusions and reality.

yes very true. I've lost touch with reality plenty of times and couldn't tell if the hallucinations and delusions where real or not.

... because acid is an unpredictable drug, and a lot of people can't take the psychological stress?
sciencealwayswins 3 years ago
fair enough. in my experience the people that fail on acid because of that either didn't do their homework on it first, and/or are just unable to handle viewing the world from an independent point of view that does not involve prejudice or stereotypical judgement. Both things which are major problems in our society.
