  • Sometimes I love watching TV while psychotic, because it seems like there are alot of meaningful messages for me in there. They are always comforting and make me feel safe.

  • smelling something is also a sign of petitmal a seizure disorder

  • Do all schizophrenics hallucinate

  • @Lillettebitch619 Hallucination is part of the schizophrenia. Whether it be extreme paranoia to visual/audible hallucinations, they're all signs of Schizophrenia.

  • Do all schizophrenics have adioble hallicionations?

  • I don't know if I have hallucinations or if my mind just interprets things in a weird way, but to me it's always subtle messages that I see as signs that I'm walking on or thinking in the right path. It can be something I read or hear someone talk or sing about in a new song I've found (or youtube vid) throughout my day that I have recently been thinking about or pondering, and I really want to believe that something is reassuring me I'm on the right path or pointing me in the right direction.

  • @hjonpaprik But if I tell someone about this (I very seldom do) they of course think it sounds a but nutty, and it almost feels dangerous to believe what I do believe even though it doesn't really bother me to get these "messages". I guess I'm worried that it's illusions and I'm crazy and might eventually pop and do something bad :/

  • This is brilliant! The more emotionally healed and spiritually open I become, the more I am able to hear and see things that "are not there'. We are all waking up.

    One day we will look back at these times and laugh at how primitive, fearful, superstitious, closed-minded and ignorant we once were.

  • @kozychik Bingo! Nice Butterfly...I have the same one on the cover of my book!

  • rly disturbing like everyone i see at home ocusins house school everywhere i always see this girl though always the same one she appears behind me always and i dontl know what to do my mind is rly rly not normal i feel my thoughts r just extremelly disturbing n idk wat to have or wat to do im rly confused n im also rly suicidal n depressed anyone have an opinion of wat i should do plz ? i have no one to turn to please responde

  • @JayloveschuX It sounds to me like you should consult a psychologist immediately. And, if you smoke marijuana or do other illegal substances, stop.

  • @bipolarorwakingup

    i dont do any illegal stuff but i use to abuse alcohol but i kinda stopped now

    but idk if i should get help :/ like idk wat i have its hard to describe my feelings rlly

  • @JayloveschuX chill and think positive, youll be str8.

  • @JayloveschuX Find someone who is open to simply listening to what you're seeing and hearing, or even thinking, who you can trust and know will be patient and won't judge you, but whose goal is to be by your side, so you don't have to go through this alone. Talk to me, if you like. I am very open-minded, and I'm a good listener. Or talk to a friend or family member about it. I know what it's like to have indescribably disturbing thoughts. Sometime they're triggers for repressed memories.

  • @LanceHertford thx :) whenever u can talk let me know

  • @JayloveschuX Any time, man. Feel free.

  • interasting video.with me idk wat i have i, not sure if its schizophrenia bipolar or i have a rlyyy disordered mind i use to feel before the need to kill people hurt myself n make everyone suffer and led me to getting possesed i had alot of anger and rage had voices in my head before n i feld i had osmeone else inside me use to talk instead of me and i use to feel my hand getting posessed n writing disturbing thins and different hadn writing but now everything passed but i still see things its

  • Thanks for postin these videos! if not of you i wouldn't have had a clue of what was goin on...it's expanded my awareness about these states...i see them as evolutionary process.. not as any diseace that cant be cured..

  • ive been reading your replies and i believe you know what your talking about

  • @emo182kidd I hope it helps! :D

  • every single time i see someone talking or wispering i think its about me or even laughing is that schizophrenia

  • @Jerseyboi98 It sounds a little like paranoia...but it may not be too serious. Lot`s of teenagers think like that!

  • But who says all this is an illness?? i have had bipolar for ten years now and i dont see it as a "problem", It just means that i have a unique way of looking at the world and it makes me more of an individual. There is no such things as illness, you just need to find that one thing that makes life understandable to you in your own personal truth

  • ...as if someone is watching me while I'm alone

  • Great video. Im a girl...When I'm feeling depressed I get easily scard n feel negative energy around me n see like dark faded shadows in walls and corners of my room idk unhuman...my mind plays tricks or something...those feelings go away when I'm normal again

  • Now this is a interesting explanation....

  • Heck, I almost always hear a crowd of voices before going to sleep. Tho they are never direct messages, more like glimpses from conversations. Never had a problem with it, seems so natural that people I've talked to and say they don't hear anything before sleep make me think they just forgot about it, like we forget some dreams. Seems nothing more than an audio-only dream while still in a state of consciousness.

  • i hallucinate most of the time it seems lately,i get strong visions and voices

  • yah, umm invite demons into my life yah...

  • @jarlexel There's nothing to fear.

  • i try to get away from team fortress 2 for awhile and blu spy comes up.....

  • hallucinations.....caused my girlfriend to kiss my sister.it was fucked up

  • I have had what I would say was a good childhood.. I'm 19 now. I've never been sexually abused,badly beaten or other very very bad things.... Since I was about 5 till I was 18 I used to hear voices, sense some beings around me. Have what is called "night terrors"..but even during the day. I'd hear the voices and sense things around me and was really scary....

    I have stopped seeing my mental health nurse as he is trying to make me find some explanation from when I was younger.

  • @bipolarwakingup I knew it, when I was a bit younger I smoked and it was all good but eventually it went way south and when I was high I started to hear this song playing or it was just random noise almost like the things you can't see around yourself were communicating to me in a rythmatic (if thats a world) pattern. Also it felt as if gravity had gone up and it was difficult to move plus I felt like I was saying my thoughts aloud. It was all very weird and I have never smoked since.

  • the european specialist docters tells us that God and angels dont exist,so they put people away for authentically experiencing things,i am native american and i know that natives dont tell you you need help,in fact i learned volumes from my own experiences,they are all warnings,europeans have been telling other peoples what is right running the world,its time for them to listen to us

  • @angelcomet1 Being spiritual certainly helps and even if I experience visions and voices, I know it will make me stronger... I now see it as a test of character.

    Honestly, since turning to God, I have not had been hearing voices, feeling "demonic" figures around me, etc like I used to.

    What lots of doctors want to do(for governments sake) is to "dumb" the people down... take out the spiritual side, and the good morals. They want people do be absorb in materialistic things.

  • Can smoking pot lead to becoming bipolar

  • @duces02 Absolutely. I need to make a video on this. Almost 100% of the people that contact me who are under the age of about 24 were using marijuana or some other mind altering substance in the months before their first acute psychosis.

  • I can use telepathy all the time up to few kilometer and it works 100% correct.

  • i have kept (psychotic) diarys most of my adult life. I went into a full blown episode once and wrote a book during it. I was hopeing to study it after i came back to my mind. (man that was tough hubby was scared, cause i could only talk in rhyme) At the end of the vision i was told to giv eme book to a :friend: he and hubby burnt my book. i never saw it when my fever left. i still HATE them for that.

  • 0:27 lol i know its not real and its an illusion but it looks like a face of a woman although its not haha

  • i have a question how do you know if you hear voices.. i feel like i have my own voices telling me things like a secretary for my inner conscious. they dont feel like other people would that still count as this?

  • @lamrimeater If you know its your inner voice, that´s not voices! Voices feel like they are trying to control you, hurt you or humiliate you in some way, usually. Some people get comforting voices, but they feel like they are a separate entity.

  • @lamrimeater theres the inner voice in the solar plexus area , that tells us not to trust other even when we dont know them , that voice is intuition it comes from the soul , through the solar plexus, then there are the voices in the head these voices are real , they are your past lives talking to you that came before you that are trapped in your souls consciousness, a schizophrenic is someone who has access to these voices, but cant shut them off, then there are spirit voices from ghosts

  • mind control, this

    who is the "us" you speak of?

  • mind control, this

  • Its only demons--

    I know this field very well...

  • @freecounselingonline Thank you!!!! I totally agree with you!

  • I liked it :) very informative. 

  • i actually wont be able to sleep because of the photo at 4:14

  • Yeah did you tell her you were having hallucinations? Did she know about it?

  • I have a doubt. See suppose One person creating other person from himself. Means he/she creating a duplications of his/her own character when they are alone. what is this disorder called? this person purposefully creating this other person.

  • I have a doubt. See suppose One person creating other person from himself. Means he/she creating a duplications of his/her own charector when they are alone. what is this disorder called? this person purposefully creating this other person.

  • I had the worst hallucinations when i was 16. Like, satanic hallucinations. One of them was this.. in my eyes, there was an knife in a hand, and an arrow pointing towards my mom. I went up stairs, and took the knife, and almost killed her. Then I went to the hospital and went through a very harsh psychosis where I began feeling things that weren't really there. But good thing I recovered quickly, and no harm was done to me or anyone.

  • @EugeneSurguy what did your mom say about it?

  • @Miikoong904 Nothing, but she was scared.

  • @EugeneSurguy - I'm curious if anything like this happened to you?,

    I can point to the exact moment when my illness started as before this life was normal (well ...kinda,sorta),

    But It was a calm, quiet night and I heard every dog in the neighborhood start to bark. Then a sudden, violent gust of wind blew in my bedroom curtains to the ceiling, then an over whelming feeling that something evil came into my room, I felt it was old, older then Earth and I felt it "touch me", or curse me.

  • @IronicallyVague - Then came the Demon voices, to say I was suffering from confusion and delusion would be an understatement ...Almost killed my mother and ...others.

    But it was like that, snap your fingers and with a sudden gust of wind my life changed forever, when before I was normal now ever since then I'm someone else.

    But can you point to an odd, perhaps paranormal type of experience that was a turning point in your life?

  • @IronicallyVague well you're going to have to describe how you felt. Because I felt like I was possessed by satan himself. Even all the mentally sick people and the doctors in the hospital were scared of me that I was possessed by demons or something. because I seemed like a normal, nice person when I didn't have the feelings. I felt like there was something living in me that wasn't actually me. Sometimes my body would turn extremely cold, and sometimes extremely hot, as if i was burning in hell

  • @EugeneSurguy - Well yes, but that's what the experience is like during what psychiatry would call a psychotic episode & that could be attributed to insanity but I'm asking about the before time? before this action packed fun filled adventure started?

    Was there anything you experienced that leaves doubt in your mind that it wasn't only a schizophrenic/psychotic episode?

  • @IronicallyVague It all began when I began worshipping demons, hoping they would help me from my depression. Then I started seeing skulls and dead Jesus on the cross and different kinds of some sort of symbols that I've never seen before.

  • @EugeneSurguy - Thanks, that's what I wanted to know

    You might say I wasn't a choir boy myself, not only an idiot atheist at the time but I've been shot at more times then most experienced police officers or military personnel have in their entire careers but I don't care what anyone says...it was something more then just an illness

  • @IronicallyVague - That or we share the same symptoms :)

  • if u stare at light it can change colour because your eyes cant cope with the brightness

  • I didn't know if I liked your video or not, but I am suffering from bipolar with psychotic symptoms that take a huge toll on me. I experience paranoia where it feels like people are monitering me all the time even inside my own home. I hear stupid voices...that seem like sounds and people talking mutate into another voice saying something different. When I'm outside in the public my perception on everything feels so bleak and dull. It feels like people think im worthless and nothing.

  • psychiatry is the antichrist's religion..

  • ask me if you want to know how worse hallucinations can get...i was almost dead....need not be anything to do with demons...it could even scare you when you feel someone next to you..your dad or mom is talking but they are not actually talking..and you start feeling and realizing every little thing thats happening to you..im completely treated and cured now but its spooky when i think about my past...i can remember every little thing that happened to me...

  • those virtual schizophrenia simulators make me cry because it reminds me of the bad hallucinations i had as a small child

  • Wow! Insightful . ^_^

  • wholy fuck i didnt know small little hallucinations counted?? i have general anxiety disorder and sometimes i see blue or red berries on trees that dont have berries lol or i see black blobs in the corners of my eyes that go away when i look for them...are these signs ?

  • my frend..make sure they are hallucination and not floaters....visit an eye doctor soon

  • @chennaifox1 i do get alot of floaters but these are definitly not them

  • Grandiosity is a symptom of bipolar or schizophrenia, you know that right?

  • There seems to be a fine connection between spiritual encounters and schizophrenia, and in some cases some people could be getting medicated for all of the wrong reasons. It could be hard sometimes to distinguish hallucinations from simply a visit from a spirit, angel, or spirit guide.

  • What happens if you don't want the good voice to leave? I have been talking to my husband since he died. alot of the things that happen revolving him are also witnessed by other people... letting go of him would be like letting go of my heart

  • some of these pictures are scaring me already........

  • "Sign of God" LOL.

  • wow that was really interessting.what about the drugs? ive been wanting to try it? how should i feel to be able to try it? my brother said dont take it when your sad or mad cuz if your sad you'll see what made you sad & that will make you mad. mad i dont know what you'll see. scared you'll just see scary stuff. so wwhen would be the right time to take it?

  • Oh that's what the Red Book from C.G.Jung is about^^ Interessting.

  • I really enjoyed this vid. One thing you need to educate yourself and your followers on through is the nature of synthetic telepathy, HSS speakers and other implants that can simulate auditory halucinations. These are just as real as soul communications. Learning about these control methods is part of the waking up. Many here who are bipolar or SZ have been targeted in this way and so not all halucinations should be followed or listened to. We need discernment and empowerment.

  • Jani Schofield is being exploited as the posterchild for childhood schizophrenia by her parents and her drs. She is currently on high doses of thorazine, clozaril and lithium. These drugs will slowly kill her and many other children will suffer the same fate if we do not speak out. Please visit her vids and speak out, challenge the psychiatric model of what is considered sane and normal.

  • Great video man! I'll deifnitely check out that Red Book! Sounds very interesting.

  • Your smart, this video is brilliant. superb!

  • he's very smart

  • I got rid of my evil visions but my good visions stay with me and ended up some how controlling it through RPing and story writing. I'm not saying this is your cure, but what I am saying is that you must cope with yourself anyway you can. I made friends with my visions and that worked for myself.

  • Try LSD and hallucinations are fantastic :D

  • @bipolarorwakingup also, have you ever read Szaz? He is a bit extreme but his writings touch on these ideas, particularly not seeing it as necessarily a negative or disease and learning how to integrate the hallucinating/delusional person into society...

  • hey this was great, thanks for posting!

  • Scratch that, half heaven and half hell for monnths, it wasn't all fun at all. It still isn't. PEACE and LOVE, that kept me sane ;) That and exercise and a good diet. oh yeah.

  • that's an amazing video. got to learn so much with being bored even for a split of a second, very creative!

  • Adrenochrome IS NOT a psychoactive compound, to my knowledge. Sure, it's oxidized adreneline, but the only place I have even heard of anybody getting high from this stuff was in Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Hunter himself even said that part where Depp takes too much and sees Richard Nixon's face was all B.S.

  • ok night time . its pitch black in my room besides the light from the ipod. the pics scared the crap otta me for some reason.

  • Most of the time, the halluncinations have been rare and have helped me, but this stuff with purple light and angels protecting me from demons... this is scarying :/

  • wow man your story is a lot like mine except reversed.

    I was walking through the mall calling people out because i thought they were poseures. i was pretty good at it.

    I had the morphing phenomenon only it was a bunch of people i didn't know until one become my friend then it became he became the devil. dude kept smiling at me and shit

  • AM TRYING TO GET A GROUP TOGETHER ITS CALLED KIDS WITH BIPOLAR ITS ON FACEBOOK AND IT HAS A BLUE PIC OF A BRAIN AND I AM TRYING TO GET ALLOT OF PEOPLE TO JOIN 2 SUPPORT IT MESSAGE ME FOR THE LINK IF U CAN'T FIND IT PLEASE IF U ARE PASSING BY THIS COMMENT PLEASE JOIN THAT GROUP ON FACEBOOK AND AS FAST AS I CAN GET ALLOT OF PEOPLE MORE THEN LIKE 100,000 PEOPLE TO LIKE MY PAGE I CAN GET AN NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION TOGETHER AND U GUYS CAN BE PART OF IT SO PLEASE JOIN MY FACEBOOK :) 4 MORE INFO :)

  • Thank you thank you for your work. Brilliant!

  • i've hallucinated mirrors looking "wobbly", steam/smoke rising from my hands, "checkerboard" print stamped onto everything in my vision, and water dripping from the ceiling and my hands. this has all been due to insomnia i think.

  • it's probably just an acid flashback lol

  • Hey neat :-)

    I thought I was alone about photographs & paintings animating slightly & talking to me, many fun filled, action packed conversations there lol. Your correct it's not always a horror freakshow, bantering back & forth with them can often be funny & informative

    & also I've never heard about the links between Abuse & Schizophrenia as well.

  • Liked your video a lot, very informative..

    The path I took when my illness started & I realized I was ill was to keep my mouth shut, by becoming IronicallyVague & never telling anyone I of course avoided all the psychiatry & medications others have had to endure.

    The topic of religion Is interesting to me though becouse the only relief I've ever known is becouse of a prayer asking God to stop the Demon voices.

    Simple as that .

  • @IronicallyVague Asking God to stop the Demons. VERY pragmatic. I like it.

  • @IronicallyVague Lol ditto... I finally told my father part of what's been up after a few months but I had the same experience. I was just laughing my ass off and having a ball for months when finally it got to a point that I was very scared and I didn't think I could take it anymore. I hear a voice outside saying "do you think he's hearing voices?" and "maybe he should pray or somethin'" I did and reality just completely flipped and became more bearable. I also thought, wow that was simple..

  • @Mritsonlyaname - Yes, not 100% cured by any means lol...But the torment of the Demons are gone

    Good luck to you ~

  • @IronicallyVague sounds like my story.,, i exsperianced peace and true quietness finally with prayer and God... but i still have episodes.. i wont take meds either they may be spiked by the government to control...

  • @WigsAndSwords1 I´ll look into this doctor, but considering that most people suffering from hallucinations have been sexually abused, physically abused, or otherwise highly traumatized, I find the diet explanation very questionable.

  • @bipolarorwakingup What research states "most" people that suffer hallucinations have been sexually or physically abused or traumatized? I know PLENTY of patients with supportive families that suffer crises.

  • @keatsean See Dr John Read, the data is in his research. Other research can be found on the site, Intervoice, which helps people suffering from hallucinations by helping them related to the material as opposed to just medicating the problem and then ignoring it.

  • Kali. I went into the eternal night. There was a person trying to grab me last night. I spent the whole night in fear.

  • i spose it would be worth mentioning that before we called these "unknown" illnesses, they were widely accepted as proof of things like enlightenment,or in the negative sense, demonic possesion.. worth looking at, as the phsch. industry in particular despise religious belief and more importantly, profound spiritual experiences as nothing but drug induced fantasy at best, or absoloute "proof" of something they still, CANNOT PROVE THEMSELVES!! worth looking into, it is very eye opening.

  • @boazandjiacinth See video 21, I touch on what you are saying in that one.

  • why do u keep referring to god or jesus in ur vids? are u trying to recruit ppl to ur way of life through those that suffer mental illness? if u are, thats a poor effort man, and very low..

  • @123perrin I refer to a lot of different religions and philosophies in my videos. I´m not selling anything.

  • @123perrin Why should it bother you if he was, man? And what's so low about it? Here's a guy talking openly about something he's suffering from and all you have is criticism? YOU'RE the low one man.

  • @LockjawVideo no 'man'.. if hes offering help and claims to possibly have some answers which ppl are looking for, if hes going to mix religion in with them, then maybe he should state that. because lots of ppl arent looking for 'spiritual guidance' or anything like that. they just wanna get some answers. religious ppl have misguided and abused mentally ill ppl for hundreds of years, with little or no real help coming from it. thats why i asked him about religion here. a legitimate qstion 'man'.

  • @123perrin I leave up the debate. But it's clear you don't understand the difference between religion and spirituality. There is no relgion here. And my understanding of hallucinations is based on scientific research.

  • @bipolarorwakingup thats kool mate. i find it hard to seperate religion and spirituality. i dont want to seem like someone who's having a go at ur work, but i if i see something thats conflicting, or out of place so to speak, ill ask a qstion about it. i do find ur vids interesting and they provide 'food for thought'. cheers.

  • No one I know would help me with this. They'd just think I was crazy if I asked. Everyone I know thinks I am crazy.

  • Wow!You have really hit the nail on the head with these videos.You have described and made sense of everything I went through as a teenager.I have never been able to express to others what it is like to go through a psychosis and yet you have expressed it so eloquently.

    Many thanks to you!

  • Great Edu

  • Comment removed

  • be careful of the voices and hallucinations you hear, if your christian, you know that demonic forces and powers of darkness, can manipulate you, don't listen to every voice you hear, or anything, it can destroy you and end up hurting you a lot, be careful what you do. god bless

  • Give evil nothing to oppose. And it will disappear by itself.- Twilight of the Dark Master. (an Anime movie in the ending scene.)

    But, all this was very instructive.

  • lol the other day i was working in a supoermarket, then a client ask me something then i turned back. but at the half of my turn back, the guy began to laugh like a demon !!! it was crazy and then i turned back and he stopped =S i was really scared after !!! so can you say if it was real or not ? but yeah the way i explained it is very vast XD

  • doesnt it sound like some one else is breathing in the background?

  • Ok according to this video

    ive been hullucinationing sense i was very little.

  • i think i agree with everything you say but not the part about inviting them into you that's not correct

  • this is so informational! Thank you for uploading it :-)

  • @prisonshadows Hey man, I'm glad you checked it out!

  • The face in the trees is an amazing picture.

  • @Fuliginosus its of sandra bullock, its to the film premonitions

  • how can there be hallucinations without associations between neurons in brain?

    wandering in the mall might have had an association with the thematic song.

    the hallucinations you get depends on what your attention goes to.

    when you pay attention to warmth, you will probably see fire.

    normally a threshold would block those associations, but in the case of psychosis the signal might be strong enough to pass the threshold.

    attributing a metaphysical meaning to everything might just stroke ego.

  • @orkishiswithk I never said there weren't neurological connections. Of course there are, but there is no reason to beleive that these connections are brain malfuntions.. As video 21 explains, hallucinations (or visions and voices) have been commonly experiences by man for thousands of years. The bible is proof of that. Now, you may argue that they may or may not be of divine origin, and there is really now way to prove or disprove that.

  • @bipolarorwakingup i was more like trying to emphasize the word 'threshold'.

    as for divine or not divine, that debate was not my intention.

    well, i had been interested in fighting spirit in the past, and that involves some cruelty.

    maybe that is why my attitude has been:

    1) is it dangerous?

    if no, then

    2) is it "it's ok really"?

    if yes, then

    3) is it an interesting phenomenon?

    and this is where i prefer to stop (notice that i did not get to the question "is it divine?").

  • @bipolarorwakingup oh there we go! 'the bible'... preaching to ppl who suffer mental illness - thats low man. pathetic actually! while some ppl are actually looking for real answers, ppl like you are out there misguiding them. geezus...

  • I think hallucinating is fine as long as you're not driving and you see a green light instead of a red one. That's bad news right there.

  • I keep hearing the word schizophrenia in the videos I can relate to most of the time... gotta love the stigma...

  • Agradezco enormemente esta informacion,

    Llevo 15 años padeciendo Desorden Bipolar sin saberlo, es un infierno para uno, pero mucho más para las personas que amamos y lastimamos durante todo este tiempo sin darnos cuenta. Cientos de alertas y alarmas se suceden a lo largo del tiempo pero uno no tiene la capacidad ni el control para darse cuenta. Es una enfermedad muy cruel, desvastadora principalmente para las personas que mas cerca tenemos nuestro.

  • After being high I sometimes hear mind chatter when am in bed, I prefer to be efficient and only give attention to that which serves my set objectives.

    I like the theory that the more you focus on something the more it will recurr and manifest, so better to ignore and know that you at have free will to perceive what you want , Law of attraction makes more sense then inviting demons or whatever to get rid of them

  • i c a pretty nice girl neat

  • wow to think this may have led to the belief in gods and demons thousands of years ago and then you have religion out of mental illness

  • I always feel like I am enlightened when I am manic, but I don't know if it's true or not. The feeling of enlightenment within mania seems to go away as my brain slows down... if I have reached enlightenment, how can I hold on to that without being unable to function in the world? I like being manic, I admit it, I love the magic of it, but I don't know if that is good or not. I feel like I may be becoming a bit manic now and the magic is returning, should I be scared?

  • @bipolarorwakingup And you have succeeded. Your videos have given me great insight into my own bipolar/spiritual awakening experiences in '85, '89, '93. Although I was medicated back into normalcy and live a seemingly normal life with house, kid and responsible job, I was still trapped emotionally in those pysch wards. You have given me, and i am sure others, a chance to recover. Namaste

  • im bi polar skitzo and i would hear women scream and laughter in the dark i beliveed that vampires where real for awhile i had to face my fear to get over it.

  • i have Bi Polar and some paranoid Skitzo i was in mental hospital and i would hear screams of women and laughter from dark rooms i belive that vampires where real. I would even talk to people that i thought where people from my child hood even resembled them a bit and they go to there room and never show up the next day. i never saw them talk to the doctor and get discharged if they where illusiations they were pretty damn real to me. i also did some really crazy things i hate to think about now

  • Good video.

  • As an artist few proclaim the natural visual hallications we experience that are very much part of our artwork. Many have known that ones of bipolar madness or episodes grasp to their artform to process the experience. That is why as a hypomanic, I am a fanstastic artist when cast into the insanity of the mind bent by the soul, that has been tainted by this world experience.

  • Is this hereditary ?? I have a family member just diagnoised???

  • Well, sometimes emotional issues (like sex abuse) get passed on from generation to generation. So is it hereditary? Maybe. Is it a biological defect? No.

  • @jan2310 That's the reason I don't wanna have kids. I screwed my own lifebut there's no way in hell I'm gonna corrupt an innocent kid. I just wish my parents had the same judgment before I was conceived. Bipolar sucks and I want to tell the world I have it so they understand me but at the same time I don't want to be known as that kid with bipolar.

  • For as long as I can remember, I have always thought of "reality" as relatively subjective, almost like taste. I hate the popular idea that something isn't real unless most people agree that it is.

  • these videos are definitely works of art

  • Thank you!

  • I would suggest to others dealing with bipolar and/or schizophrenia such as myself, that finding an art outlet is very helpful. Mine happens to be photography. Thank you Sean for your wonderful videos. I consider them a work of art in themselves.

  • In dealing with hallucinations, what about ones that make no sense? I often hear singing, different songs, and I have no idea what "message" that could be sending?

    Also, have you looked into sleep paralysis and hallucinations? I experience both and the hallucinations are terrifying, most often involving a demonic figure attacking me (and the sleep paralysis will not let me move anything but my eyes). Just wonder if you've looked into that relation.

    Love your videos!

  • If they make 'no sense' trust the feeling that comes with them. You probably need to dig a little deeper. Write about the feeling, make connections, see where they take you. I've had sleep paralysis a few times, but I haven't taken a good look at it. You're right, it is scary.

  • Thanks for the kind sharing*

  • These definitions of 'hallucination' made me wonder:

    1) to sense something that is not there YET; hallucination or vision (like animal instinct)?

    2) to sense things that others don't sense; in a society that is full of lies (in education, religion, marketing, politics); the first ones to feel that things are not what they seem may actually be the brightest rather than "mentally ill".

    3) I guess I have incorporated my psychotic hallucinations in my daily life in a way it's no longer a problem.

  • I think, if something is somehow 'there' then I wouldn't call it a hallucination. MInd you, I would expect that at least one other person in the world should be able to sense it as well. Working on your vid today!

  • Wow, I really want to read that book.

  • Thanks again Sean! :-)

  • im from singapore and our ms world contestant had bipolar disorder and everybody made fun of her. its quite horrible

  • Unfortunately, that doesn't only happen in Singapore. People are ignorant and fearful all around the world.

  • Since church killed our holy men, we don't know ways to cope with such sensations in Western civilizations.

  • I absolutely agree even in the US u still have ignorant people

  • Fantastic. Thanks.

  • Thank you for bringing "The Red Book" to our attention. I find your story about Carl Jung very interesting.

  • Your welcome!

  • I've always felt that my bipolar had something to do with past lives. As I can see nothing in this life with a painful connection. It is the only way I can accept my condition because I know I'm not crazy. Persecution and martyrdom lie close to my inner soul. I'm ever ready to defend myself.

  • Yes, not all trauma is from our childhood. Sometimes its from adulthood or the peri-natal stage, and sometimes it certainly looks like the traumas are more related to karmic issues, past lives, etc...

  • ...and then there's a lot of trauma that isn't recognized as such. That is seen as perfectly normal conditions for human beings to live under and cope with.

  • Yeah, people tend to forget that its not objective facts and events that determine trauma and degree of trauma. Its the subjective experience of the person being traumatized.
