I wonder if you did that on purpose. Add loud music and see the viewers reactions. It's a challenge in itself separating the music and your voice. I get lost..
Thank you, this video has helped me understand my dad better. Growing up, I was angry with him, scared of him, but now I'm starting to understand better that it's not his fault. It especially hit home when you were talking about being unable to tell what is an actual event and what is an induced event. Is your experience of schizophrenia constant? My dad has times where he's very delusional and times where he's "normal", they can last a while or change frequently. Is that part of schizophrenia?
@sleeeeeepmonster My experience varies with stress and also just changes in varied respects over time. It's different now than it used to be, but some symptoms are the same or similar. Frequent changes are part of some people's experience with schizophrenia. There may be changes in stress sometimes or perhaps persistent delusions that kind of just hide during the "normal" time but can flare back up... It's probably always complex.
My cousin may have skitsofrenia and he feels that no one in the family cares about him do you think that i should talk to him or just let him talk to counselor
@JB420MST2 If you care about him, I think you should do what you can to let him know that, if he feels no one in family does. That can be a source of stress which isn't good for schizophrenics.
Thank you for taking the time to post this video about such a misunderstood illness. I have a 18 year old son with Paranoid Schizophrenia. The hardest part was trying to understand him. YOUR VIDEO BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. It helped me get a clearer picture of what goes on inside his mind. Your sharing has opened my eyes. Please know your words have been heard. You have touch me deeply. .Please continue to share so that those like us can continue to learn from you and help our loved ones.
so basically, a psychologsist told me that i have SPD, but i think she was just trying to get rid of me, cuz another doctor told me i have drug induced psychosis, but i havent gone in for my REAL eval yet, but i experience alot of schizophrenic symptoms, like i think my best friend is either the devil jesus, psychic, is conspiring against me, im starting to think my familys out to get me now, but in your opinion, are these common of SPD? from what i read, no lol,
I find the theory's and explanations of the onsets of schizophrenia quite interesting maybe you could share in more detail what you have learned in that regard?
It was really hard for me to focus on what you were saying with the music. :( Plus, with my schizophrenia, when I hear music, I see my hallucinations dance. Sorry I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes of your video :(
i've got a "far-away friend" that claims that hes Schitzophrenic and now i've gotta believe him now that i've sorta "atwhitnessed" (no idea if i spelled that right) him "having an episode." hes always taking frequent walks, has pictures & drawings that are strange & sometimes even disturbing. this explains SO MUCH...... the odd thing is, i'm not schitzophrenic (that i know of), but i'm starting to find a lot of things that i have in comon with him, its almost disturbing... :/
a dude have you ever seen the movie fight club? ive had sleeping problem in my life ever time i quit smokeing weed and i end up staying awake for week on end. i seen shit hear shit. but never when i get 8 hour's of sleep. and this has been going on since i was 16 year old.
Did you adapt to your schizophrenia without medication? Is it possible to live a normal life without requiring potentially damaging medication? I was diagnosed schizophrenic a year ago, and had another episode a couple of months ago.
@FurryBlueNaki I was put on meds when I first entered a hospital psych ward. If I could have chosen, I would have preferred to "settle" without medication. If you've never been medicated, look into cognitive behavioural treatment and group talk therapy, as well as doing whatever you can in your power to be "a healthy person." In my own experience as well as from what I can tell in my research, finding stability in deeper ways will prevent future relapses more than medication will.
I have Schizophrenia, Seeing and Hearing things that no one else does, its so hard to deal with. People think Im physco and crazy when I am not. Im just differnt as my mother says. I stay to myself not wanting to face the world. I always fear of the Russia's finding me ect... So it seems if I am always on guard and on the run. Silence is my way of life.
interesting vid....I have bipolar disorder and what you describe as "playing with words" and making unusual connections between things sounds similar to what I experience when I am having a severe manic, depressive, or mixed episode. I do not write music, I write essays (I study philosophy and political science) and a lot of the time I find that my work is a lot more interesting, and outside the box, when I am being influenced by an extreme mood.
@monicanietzsche Thanks for the comment! I studied philosophy and English and love to write. I find music writing helps me to experience non-verbal conscious activity, which I find very fulfilling and good for my health! I also agree I've thought farthest outside the box (in my own case admittedly too far at times) when I am in one of my more "extreme" states :)
I am bipolar, my uncle has schizofrenia so i research for helping and understanding him, i am the only one in the family who supports him, no one belive he is sick, it breaks my hearth!! ;( So thanks for sharing your experience!
I have never hallucinated, but I hear the voices. I live in NYC, so I hear the subway train speaking to me. Sometimes, I'll be in bed, listening to the train speaking to me. It tells me which stop it's going to be in next and it hurts me. I can't tell these things to shut up. I don't let them control me and I live a pretty happy life, but when I sit down to think of these things, it makes me wonder. Everything I do is symbolic. Every thing. I will even look into the past and make things symbolic
@Sandrameesha You are describing that is known as magical thinking. You may have a mild form schizophrenia and would feel a lot more comfortable on a low dose of the right medication. But of course how you choose to manage is up to you. Medicines have drawbacks too. I know what you mean about the symbolic thinking. Take care and all the best to you.
but it feels good. When I cry and feel sadness, I smile good for some reason. It makes no sense to me. There will be some days where I just don't sleep. Somedays I will sleep for days. I am always listening to the Devil inside of me. He tells me what to do, but to a certain extent. He never tells me to kill anyone, but he makes me do evil things. I was raised Christian, but I always believed that I hate god. I never capitalise the G. I've always believed in Sita. She is my lesbian goddess.
I never really let these things control me, but I feel them speaking to me. Clawing at me. I lie constantly and I know it. I love to lie. My mind feels scattered, but I am a polyglot. For some reason I can fluently speak/read 9 languages and I'm learning more. I can learn them in months. I shift within hours from very happy and loving everyone to very happy, but hating everyone. I am never sad, I believe. I am either happy or numb. Sometimes I cry
Is schizophrenia a bit like being over open minded? I get weird thoughts in my head too, and I try to explain to my friends and they never understand my point. One example is that advertisements on telly are telling me what to eat (burgers) and are poising my mind, that's why fruit and veg looks very unattractive on telly. Another is that women are made to be a man's slave. Just lil things like that. Are these normal? I don't see aliens or anything like that, I think of real possibilities. lol.
@xbabyfacedx It certainly can be like that. There is something called "schizotypal traits" which are cognitive behaviour, function, or abilities that in some people who experience a different psychological development (keyword stress) which turns the traits into schizophrenia the illness. Schizotypal traits often express themselves as "weird thoughts" and religious or mystical or simply odd ideas. I'll tell you this babyfaced, in my "overly" schizotypal POV, your thoughts aren't strange at all!
@nednednerb @xbabyfacedx, Schizotypal thinkers are seen by anthropologists to often be the ones in a social knit who question and perceive ideas in atypical ways. They are the ones who lead to change. They have larger portions of creative impulses. Does that answer your question?
@nednednerb Yeah, I think so. Maybe I'm being a little ignorant about it, but, from research I have done (which isn't much, to be honest) it actually sounds quite an exciting life to live, over looking everything, thinking outside the box. If you could lose it/cure it, would you?
@xbabyfacedx You're fine brother. Just very perceptive about the methods and agenda of the advertizing industry. But if you become overly wrapped up in these concerns that when it can become a problem.
@108vasudeva The advertising is just one. I'm like this with a lot of things. I do get worked up over the females are slaves thought, I even cried in the shower few week ago about that. I just don't feel like myself at all. I've been like this for months now. It's probably just stress, but I have resonantly been smoking weed and I read that, that causes schizophrenia to flare, hence, why I'm looking it up.
@xbabyfacedx Thinking is normal... diagnosing your thinking to be schizophrenia would be the purest form of media poisining. Being aware like that won't hurt you, but always keep in mind that ignorance is bliss. If you keep yourself in the box you will never have to realize a whole bunch of crap in the world that really goes on to you and around you without even knowing.
@Cheerios11992 Keep yourself thinking outside the box and you realize a load of depressing problems in the world that you wouldn't have noticed and you can't fix them, so really, you're just working yourself up over uncontrollable damns in society. Then you go into feeling helpless and that leads to anger and frustration, and that can cause problems in your social life. Lol.
my theory of schizophrenia is that as sensemaking beings, some peoples sensemaking machines or should i say meaning machines are on overdrive. Your brain is in survival mode and is trying to make sense of things quickly for you to survive. Like when you see a cat at night it changes, they go psychotic and paranoid seeing things that aren't there. Making sense is a double edged sword
@cammyjeee Very insightful comment! You're on to something, and I like your metaphoric language. It's useful in the fuzzy terrain of a "mind that is sick"
@cammyjeee Very good point and I love the example of the cat at night (and I love cats..) In a way schizotypal thinking is like a form of obsessive thought disorder. Someone who is highly perceptive and capable of thinking in abstracts obsessing over meaningful details to reveal and understand hidden dangers. Not so different than OCD... Thoughts?
@108vasudeva Yeah I guess OCD could be considered a schizotypal trait, although I believe it's classified as a neuroses. Either way the labels we give these things must dissolve when you look at the mind as a whole. All neurotic and psychotic behaviours come from the same source I believe, it's funny how a lot of mental health "problems" can be in one way or another connected to each other. I believe the source is the weak ego in early development defending itself against existential anxiety.
I really respect you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Please do not fulfill the requests to remove the music. As you stated, you primarily hear music now, so for the people who watch this video to get a better understanding of your experiences with schizophrenia this is a great exposure experience and I appreciate it. For the record, I had no problem understanding or hearing you.
Thank you for this video. You've help me understand more about this phenomen. My question now: Does this condition influences your capability to sleep?
@mybeaumartin It does with my symptom set. My mind can race rather easily, and when my mind is racing, I can put off sleep for an indefinite period of time, and that is a source of stress in many cases. I can handle one night without sleep without getting into a bad state, but I usually slow down by the next night. At the peak of intensity in my history, I didn't sleep for days at a time.
Good video but I can't understand it because of the music. Can the music be removed from the video so we can hear everything you have to say? You are important and what you have to say is important. It might just make it easier to hear :)
I'd really like to hear what you're saying, unfortunately I'm having a very hard time hearing you through the music. Woud it be at all possible for you to re-upload this video without the music? Or could you alter the balance of the music, so that your voice is far in front?
Yes schizophrenia is an umbrella term and some people who agree that they have it find it extremely disturbing and want help but for some people who arent even violent, who are just different "help" can be forced upon them without their consent and that too can be disturbing. Its a different experience for all. And yes I think some people are mistakenly diagnosed and may very well be experiencing a whole nother phenomenon.
@Tubaholic26 Very good points. It is very different for everyone who experiences it. I think of Dntel's song Umbrella "You can turn the city, upside down, like an umbrella, but it won't keep you dry." Ahhhh, such a good song. Going to listen to it now.
I honestly believe that it is caused by demons. My Aunt was constantly haunted and from what I heard they were driving her insane. Its like they feed on your fear. I think the best way to help someone with Schizophrenia is to see a priest.
@Broconda I honestly believe that you subscribe to a socially shared delusion. You have whole cultures of belief backing up your claim, so it APPEARS credible. I don't believe in demons. I will see no priest because they won't like me and cannot convert me.
What I'm trying to express here is that you're really healthy , you're just wired different so you're interpreting and decoding stuff differently. That's why hallucinations, size distortion, voices, time slowing down etc. is nothing to neglect (which creates more confusion/psychosis), but should rather be embraced.
Both of the Schizophrenics I know are finally happier and handle the situation better just because they've realized this (alternative treatment)
@geostigma123 I agree with much of your interpretation. I consider myself a "healthy schizophrenic" at this point. I realized I was sick and thought I had some problematic cognitive habits long before a doctor ever diagnosed me. I also thought I was just a unique collection of personality, psychological capacity, and choices. I do not compare "the healthy me" and "the schizophrenic me" and "the ill me." Stress compounds challenge. Stress can make everyone sick, including schizophrenics! :)
@nednednerb Well, regardless of semantics and what reality is or not is, I am glad that you're a very bright person and do not doubt that you have a lot to offer to society. Take care my friend, and sorry for my looooong ADD rant, Sometimes a sentence or two becomes twenty. Greetings, Norway ;)
PART 3 - Taking another example (hearing). Sound waves really doesn't make a sound in the air (between you and the speaker), It's just interpreted by us as sound. It's original form is information (same with the other senses as well). The image you see when you're peeking out your window might feel like outside of you, but the image is really constructed/decoded in the brain and the "real" reality might just be energy/information. that's why a schizophrenic's reality is as real as everyone's
PART 2... the human senses are detecting such a small fragment of what really (co)exists out there without us knowing it (especially when it comes to sight, where "Visual light is about 00,5% of all types of light, they're just outside the frequency/spectrum that we humans are capable of detecting). My point is that the version of (shared) reality we're taught in school and life is false, There actually is no objective(shared) reality, only a construct of one that we're programmed to believe in.
after knowing two schizophrenic for years, my conclusion is that it's not a bad thing at all. I see it as evolution of consciousness/mind, that you can tap into sources and frequencies (that's always there, but most people can't access) to gain information or whatever. The thing is. from the very first moment you're diagnosed, doctors and "specialists" will make you think that there's something wrong with you, Which means people start to reject the gift they were born with = Confusion=Psychosis
Schizophrernia to me is a higher thought of process and understandind of universal creation of worlds and stars and all within it and inposlable for non schizophrenia people to understand its a lable they never solve our understand
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.
Hey man! I got to this vid frm your do dooo dooooh! Ablton1 so funny! Big respect for sharing and bringing insight. I don't know what i am. I have the strangest of thoughts and feelings but wouldn't want to put a label on it personally. I have started making music too finally and yes a great help. What was the music in ur vid plz? really enjoyed it too Big Love to you man and hope you remain in a balanced peaceful state
@pyrrhite lack of ordinary affect and reacting to emotional situations in atypical ways are both fairly common for schizophrenics. I think it's due to the experiences being intense and mostly internalized. Research on various therapeutic approaches have shown that dialogue therapy is very useful. Talking about things, and finding ways to do it comfortably can be very beneficial to mood and resilience. Good luck.
i had schizophernia. cured it on my own. never even told anyone i had it. heard voices in my head and felt like music was talking to me..telling me how to figure out the truth about earth. as if the artists watched me my whole life and made songs about me. its a deep paranoia, and i came to terms with it. Im more social than ever and love every second of life. Even when im down i feel like i'm still up. lol
Great video, your obviously very smart ned, your what i consider a high functioning schizophrenic. In my opinion your video would be better without the music, or the music not so loud. Something that rang true with me you wrote in the comments, that you suppress your delusions and dont follow your train of thoughts, im learning to do this. I find that my friends and family are happier if i dont tell them the things i hear or see, because both things arent pleasant. Great video.
can u have schizophrenia without dealing with voices or hallucinations...like being schizophrenic but only being paranoid and having delusions, but not hearing any voices at all or having any hallucinations is that possible?
Can someone please tell me honestly, i want to seek help but i dont want them to put it on my record, because i know im a good worker and the work i want to work with, wont be available for me if they put it on the record.
@TheStrangebutReal First off, be as physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy at all times as possible. Try to not get carried away by stress into the symptoms. Avoid stress. Don't get any sicker, get healthier. If you have delusions, simply suppress them. If you believe your delusions, screw them anyway, Suppress them. Don't follow their train of thought. Find distracting hobbies, meditate, yoga, go hiking, art. Just be healthy.
wonderful, thank you for sharing. i am just throwing this theory out there, i have not researched schizophrenia as much as i would have liked to, but i think that they are just extremely intelligent people who cannot deal with the amount of information they understand with the rational boundaries we create as people, so they try to make sense of what they are understanding through the typical "rationalization" of the senses, thus creating hallucinations and psychotic symptoms
@DanTheBrahman I definitely pay attention to what I eat. I generally just try to eat really healthy foods, a good variety, and home cooking. I don't pay for any extra vitamin/mineral stuff, but I feel pretty good with good food and exercise.
Hearing music like this would be pretty distracting but in this video is does well with having us understand your experience. It would be pretty cool at times to have walking theme music everywhere you go, depending on the situation the music would be intense or mellow. In no way am i mocking im just being optimistic.
If only I could hear what you are saying... if only I could lower the volume of that music. Not that it is bad.. but the music covers your voice and makes it hard to hear u comfortably.
I think i i had a baby that had it i would put them in a under ground tunnel no lights so in 5-10 years there eyes will be full black then i would let 1000 baby mice in it so they could feed on them then i'll gas them out & cut them open to begain the proges of them stitch wings & teeth growth untill they have babys they will be born like that then i'll let them free so i could watch them pray on the feet of humen hairness to the gods of death shall there be armageddon that will be the end .....
The best way to understand schizophrenia (outside of being diagnosed) is to have a friend/family member who has been diagnosed. It is the illness of loneliness: one of the most isolating illnesses of them all. You have a good mind, and this will help you over the years. Allow for some things to remain illogical - nobody's life is completely rational! Best of luck to you. peace. [the music is loud, but I know it may be useful to you (even necessary) - people don't know this.]
@gayforlife2020 I agree with you. I used to suffer with this feeling but with my good heart and good family and friends around me helped me grow out of it. Be positive. :)
@davidhlusko definitely not. I've had a huge amount of auditory hallucination, and I've rarely heard voices. A few times, but not often. I hear a lot of music, water noises, non-physiological ringing of the ears.
I think that the MUSIC , being loud is indicative of this mental/brain activity . the "music" is sometimes too loud to hear the LOGICAL-VERBAL interpretation of what goes on. Obviously the music you use has calming effect ( classical shit).
So it seems you suffer from LOUD NOISE like stereo amp is too loud at times and the thought process tries to correct itself i.e make sense . This is better than psychosis where there is no correction but just "loud noise" bursting .
I am thinking perhaps you can experiment. Ramachandran ( see youtube) describes a man with phantom hand who fooled his "pain by brain" with a mirror that showed his real hand obeying his mind. You could, while keeping notes of self state: 1. put muffling ear plugs for days 2. hear music continously (headphones plugs). 3 do those with 1 ear only. Maybe we can reduce the "noise" . but note that we talk about slow biological adaptation , rather than immediate behaviour/action.
@SvensonP A friend keeps his TV and radio on at the same time, during day. Radio 24/7. There are several reasons (and I will not disclose them, to protect his privacy). It is important for the non-schizophrenic person to learn how to tolerate/handle/embrace as much variation as possible from the established "norms." Loud music may be one thing. "Vocalizing" is another. Believing as much as possible, without losing your own core belief-system is a challenge: but possible. peace
Man I am not schizophrenic but I must say I hate when people are very ignorant about the subject and jump to harsh conclusions/stereotypes... You seem like a very intelligent individual and I wish you the best of luck and happiness
hey buddy, try getting this book 'natural healing for schizophrenia' by eva edelman . my brother was diagnosed as well and we are trying to evade the medications and do it naturally.search for orthomolecular psychiatry...
You show yourself to be an intelligent and sensitive ambassador for this long-misunderstood "condition". Do you find yourself frustrated or unable to express everything you have inside? Or very able? Do you see yourself being held back, somehow? Do you contemplate the world with a sense you can discern with a finer microscope of what's going on around you than others? Do you have the desire to take action on that greater knowledge, yet are unsure of how your actions will be perceived by others?
Another thought. I haven't watched any of your other videos yet, but I will be. In the meantime, if you haven't already, I am eager to hear about your day-to-day functioning. Are your days highly structured with specific routines? If so, describe a typical routine day that you might have. If your day is unstructured, why is that? Also, some professionals believe that schizophrenia is a high form of intelligence or creativity. What do you think? Thanks again for your videos!
If I can ask, what medications (and how much) are you taking? You seem very lucid in your thoughts in this video. That's a good thing. And, you seem to have it under control. Please post more videos. I'll be watching and listening intently.
@0420Marijuana I doubt it. David Suzuki narrated a documentary "The Downside of Getting High". The synopsis is about "marijuana" and "schizophrenia" and "young people." At one point in the docu, they crystallize the information into an actual claim that says something to the effect of: IF you are prone to get paranoid, i.e. paranoid tendency, and IF you are prone to get more paranoid smoking pot, and IF you keep smoking pot, you MIGHT get more and more paranoid. That's is ALL IN ALL, really...
@licky20 I've answered this question so many times on youtube comments. I've always thought it was an irrelevant question because meds are different for everyone so what works for me is just a random brew like for anybody. They are new gen meds, not the old school, though.
I really hate saying this, but I find the music very distracting. If this is asking too much, I can understand, but if it's possible, can you type in what you said in the description? You don't have to if you don't want to, but I am very interested in what you have to say about the condition but I can't concentrate with the music. I'm very sorry, but I find classical music very distracting. Gee...
I enjoyed watchinh this. I remeber asking my therapist to explain much of these type of things you explained here. I find myself super curious, and eager to "figure it out" not actually knowing... I only wish I could. How old are you, and when did it all start? Btw, I like the music in the background...
Perhaps the key insight of Jungian psychology is that mental illness isnt a purely individual phenomenon, but a manifestation of larger imbalances in the culture and psyche of mankind. Schizophrenics are the scapegoats of a culture which clings to it's own superficial certainties, refusing to confront the contradictions and questions bubbling up from it's own depths; they are the receptacles of all the psychical garbage which has been denied and has yet to be dealt with within the culture.
i need your help im desperate its hard to explain and i need to find out whats wrong with me ok here i go at times i can be calm and relaxed but within seconds i feel rage in myself i feel like im being watched and i see lights flicker on and off i lose my appetite and feel like im by myself in the world i talk to myself alot i make little stories in my head to calm myself down i am afraid to tell my parents or anyone else.. please ..someonne help me.
@thewho808 Sounds like you are developing schizophrenic symptoms, whether you have had what is termed an "acute psychotic break." Schizophrenia, at least in terms of illness manifesting, is a "chronic psychosis." It's a bit more subtle unless stress pushes you over the edge into an acute, intense disconnection. So avoid stress, and learn to meditate and exercise and eat well and contain your rage and connect with yourself. Be healthy. Be strong. That's the best thing. The only thing.

my father was diagnosed with this yrs ago but is controlled now with drugs,my younger brother had it a yr ago too its also controlled i feel im getting it too i get weird taughts not voices tho and i get very down...im just afraid to mention it to any one i cry to myself mostly or just argue with my family
@1dubgal My advice is to seek outside the mainstream. Find a competent therapist who uses hypnotic regression. Drugs are a last resort, and a means of suppressing the symptoms of a cultural disease. Schizophrenics are scapegoats of societal imbalances, and you need a doctor who gets that. Check out Terence McKenna's video "Schizophrenic or Shamanic" and Jung's RED BOOK. You need a competent guide, not some quack who dismisses your visions/delusions as having no deeper significance.
i dont think i have schizophernia. but i always feel tho someone is watching me, i hear voices telling me what to do and i see people (example: my granndpa who died way back in 01) and i loose my appitite. my friend had told me to watch something on shcizopherna. and when i told my mom aboout the hullusinations, she didnt say anything at all. bbut, this doesnt sound like schizophernia...does it?
I wonder if you did that on purpose. Add loud music and see the viewers reactions. It's a challenge in itself separating the music and your voice. I get lost..

@sleeeeeepmonster My experience varies with stress and also just changes in varied respects over time. It's different now than it used to be, but some symptoms are the same or similar. Frequent changes are part of some people's experience with schizophrenia. There may be changes in stress sometimes or perhaps persistent delusions that kind of just hide during the "normal" time but can flare back up... It's probably always complex.

JB420MST2 2 weeks ago
@JB420MST2 If you care about him, I think you should do what you can to let him know that, if he feels no one in family does. That can be a source of stress which isn't good for schizophrenics.

i've got a "far-away friend" that claims that hes Schitzophrenic and now i've gotta believe him now that i've sorta "atwhitnessed" (no idea if i spelled that right) him "having an episode." hes always taking frequent walks, has pictures & drawings that are strange & sometimes even disturbing. this explains SO MUCH...... the odd thing is, i'm not schitzophrenic (that i know of), but i'm starting to find a lot of things that i have in comon with him, its almost disturbing... :/

Did you adapt to your schizophrenia without medication? Is it possible to live a normal life without requiring potentially damaging medication? I was diagnosed schizophrenic a year ago, and had another episode a couple of months ago.

@FurryBlueNaki I was put on meds when I first entered a hospital psych ward. If I could have chosen, I would have preferred to "settle" without medication. If you've never been medicated, look into cognitive behavioural treatment and group talk therapy, as well as doing whatever you can in your power to be "a healthy person." In my own experience as well as from what I can tell in my research, finding stability in deeper ways will prevent future relapses more than medication will.

interesting vid....I have bipolar disorder and what you describe as "playing with words" and making unusual connections between things sounds similar to what I experience when I am having a severe manic, depressive, or mixed episode. I do not write music, I write essays (I study philosophy and political science) and a lot of the time I find that my work is a lot more interesting, and outside the box, when I am being influenced by an extreme mood.

@monicanietzsche Thanks for the comment! I studied philosophy and English and love to write.

I have never hallucinated, but I hear the voices. I live in NYC, so I hear the subway train speaking to me. Sometimes, I'll be in bed, listening to the train speaking to me. It tells me which stop it's going to be in next and it hurts me. I can't tell these things to shut up. I don't let them control me and I live a pretty happy life, but when I sit down to think of these things, it makes me wonder. Everything I do is symbolic. Every thing. I will even look into the past and make things symbolic

@Sandrameesha You are describing that is known as magical thinking. You may have a mild form schizophrenia and would feel a lot more comfortable on a low dose of the right medication. But of course how you choose to manage is up to you. Medicines have drawbacks too. I know what you mean about the symbolic thinking. Take care and all the best to you.

Is schizophrenia a bit like being over open minded? I get weird thoughts in my head too, and I try to explain to my friends and they never understand my point. One example is that advertisements on telly are telling me what to eat (burgers) and are poising my mind, that's why fruit and veg looks very unattractive on telly. Another is that women are made to be a man's slave. Just lil things like that. Are these normal? I don't see aliens or anything like that, I think of real possibilities. lol.
xbabyfacedx 1 month ago
@xbabyfacedx It certainly can be like that. There is something called "schizotypal traits" which are cognitive behaviour, function, or abilities that in some people who experience a different psychological development (keyword stress) which turns the traits into schizophrenia the illness. Schizotypal traits often express themselves as "weird thoughts" and religious or mystical or simply odd ideas. I'll tell you this babyfaced, in my "overly" schizotypal POV, your thoughts aren't strange at all!
nednednerb 1 month ago
@nednednerb @xbabyfacedx, Schizotypal thinkers are seen by anthropologists to often be the ones in a social knit who question and perceive ideas in atypical ways. They are the ones who lead to change. They have larger portions of creative impulses. Does that answer your question?
nednednerb 1 month ago
@nednednerb Yeah, I think so. Maybe I'm being a little ignorant about it, but, from research I have done (which isn't much, to be honest) it actually sounds quite an exciting life to live, over looking everything, thinking outside the box. If you could lose it/cure it, would you?

@xbabyfacedx Thinking is normal... diagnosing your thinking to be schizophrenia would be the purest form of media poisining. Being aware like that won't hurt you, but always keep in mind that ignorance is bliss. If you keep yourself in the box you will never have to realize a whole bunch of crap in the world that really goes on to you and around you without even knowing.

my theory of schizophrenia is that as sensemaking beings, some peoples sensemaking machines or should i say meaning machines are on overdrive. Your brain is in survival mode and is trying to make sense of things quickly for you to survive. Like when you see a cat at night it changes, they go psychotic and paranoid seeing things that aren't there. Making sense is a double edged sword

nednednerb 1 month ago
@cammyjeee Very good point and I love the example of the cat at night (and I love cats..) In a way schizotypal thinking is like a form of obsessive thought disorder. Someone who is highly perceptive and capable of thinking in abstracts obsessing over meaningful details to reveal and understand hidden dangers. Not so different than OCD... Thoughts?
108vasudeva 1 month ago
@108vasudeva Yeah I guess OCD could be considered a schizotypal trait, although I believe it's classified as a neuroses. Either way the labels we give these things must dissolve when you look at the mind as a whole. All neurotic and psychotic behaviours come from the same source I believe, it's funny how a lot of mental health "problems" can be in one way or another connected to each other. I believe the source is the weak ego in early development defending itself against existential anxiety.

@mybeaumartin It does with my symptom set. My mind can race rather easily, and when my mind is racing, I can put off sleep for an indefinite period of time, and that is a source of stress in many cases.

Yes schizophrenia is an umbrella term and some people who agree that they have it find it extremely disturbing and want help but for some people who arent even violent, who are just different "help" can be forced upon them without their consent and that too can be disturbing. Its a different experience for all. And yes I think some people are mistakenly diagnosed and may very well be experiencing a whole nother phenomenon.

Part 4 - (soon done ^^ )
What I'm trying to express here is that you're really healthy , you're just wired different so you're interpreting and decoding stuff differently. That's why hallucinations, size distortion, voices, time slowing down etc. is nothing to neglect (which creates more confusion/psychosis), but should rather be embraced.
Both of the Schizophrenics I know are finally happier and handle the situation better just because they've realized this (alternative treatment)
geostigma123 2 months ago
@geostigma123 I agree with much of your interpretation. I consider myself a "healthy schizophrenic" at this point. I realized I was sick and thought I had some problematic cognitive habits long before a doctor ever diagnosed me. I also thought I was just a unique collection of personality, psychological capacity, and choices. I do not compare "the healthy me" and "the schizophrenic me" and "the ill me." Stress compounds challenge. Stress can make everyone sick, including schizophrenics! :)

geostigma123 2 months ago
PART 3 - Taking another example (hearing). Sound waves really doesn't make a sound in the air (between you and the speaker), It's just interpreted by us as sound. It's original form is information (same with the other senses as well). The image you see when you're peeking out your window might feel like outside of you, but the image is really constructed/decoded in the brain and the "real" reality might just be energy/information. that's why a schizophrenic's reality is as real as everyone's
geostigma123 2 months ago
PART 2... the human senses are detecting such a small fragment of what really (co)exists out there without us knowing it (especially when it comes to sight, where "Visual light is about 00,5% of all types of light, they're just outside the frequency/spectrum that we humans are capable of detecting). My point is that the version of (shared) reality we're taught in school and life is false, There actually is no objective(shared) reality, only a construct of one that we're programmed to believe in.
geostigma123 2 months ago
after knowing two schizophrenic for years, my conclusion is that it's not a bad thing at all. I see it as evolution of consciousness/mind, that you can tap into sources and frequencies (that's always there, but most people can't access) to gain information or whatever. The thing is. from the very first moment you're diagnosed, doctors and "specialists" will make you think that there's something wrong with you, Which means people start to reject the gift they were born with = Confusion=Psychosis

I have a close friend with schizophrenia.
Is it a symptom of schizophrenia to be nearly unable to
tolerate any kind of intimate exchanges? By which I
don't mean sex, I mean just sharing of deep personal feelings,
or even not so deep ones. He is extremely uncomfortable
talking about his own pain and struggle or listening to anyone else's.
I never know whether to let him be and accept what he can offer,
or try to encourage him to deepen a little.
pyrrhite 3 months ago
@pyrrhite lack of ordinary affect and reacting to emotional situations in atypical ways are both fairly common for schizophrenics. I think it's due to the experiences being intense and mostly internalized. Research on various therapeutic approaches have shown that dialogue therapy is very useful. Talking about things, and finding ways to do it comfortably can be very beneficial to mood and resilience. Good luck.

@nednednerb thanks for the quick response.
I assumed it was a lack of ability to shield himself
from intense feeling the way most people can, which
is what you are saying I think. I agree being able to
talk about things even a little bit is helpful for most of us,
and it might help dispel some of his isolation and loneliness.
Well, it'll be a project. I've wondered about this a long time,.

The best way to understand schizophrenia (outside of being diagnosed) is to have a friend/family member who has been diagnosed. It is the illness of loneliness: one of the most isolating illnesses of them all. You have a good mind, and this will help you over the years. Allow for some things to remain illogical - nobody's life is completely rational! Best of luck to you. peace.

I think that the MUSIC , being loud is indicative of this mental/brain activity . the "music" is sometimes too loud to hear the LOGICAL-VERBAL interpretation of what goes on. Obviously the music you use has calming effect ( classical shit).
So it seems you suffer from LOUD NOISE like stereo amp is too loud at times and the thought process tries to correct itself i.e make sense . This is better than psychosis where there is no correction but just "loud noise" bursting .

I am thinking perhaps you can experiment. Ramachandran ( see youtube) describes a man with phantom hand who fooled his "pain by brain" with a mirror that showed his real hand obeying his mind. You could, while keeping notes of self state: 1. put muffling ear plugs for days 2. hear music continously (headphones plugs). 3 do those with 1 ear only. Maybe we can reduce the "noise" . but note that we talk about slow biological adaptation , rather than immediate behaviour/action.

@SvensonP A friend keeps his TV and radio on at the same time, during day. Radio 24/7. There are several reasons (and I will not disclose them, to protect his privacy). It is important for the non-schizophrenic person to learn how to tolerate/handle/embrace as much variation as possible from the established "norms." Loud music may be one thing. "Vocalizing" is another. Believing as much as possible, without losing your own core belief-system is a challenge: but possible. peace

@0420Marijuana I doubt it. David Suzuki narrated a documentary "The Downside of Getting High". The synopsis is about "marijuana" and "schizophrenia" and "young people." At one point in the docu, they crystallize the information into an actual claim that says something to the effect of: IF you are prone to get paranoid, i.e. paranoid tendency, and IF you are prone to get more paranoid smoking pot, and IF you keep smoking pot, you MIGHT get more and more paranoid. That's is ALL IN ALL, really...

I'm just wondering what meds your taking?

@licky20 I've answered this question so many times on youtube comments. I've always thought it was an irrelevant question because meds are different for everyone so what works for me is just a random brew like for anybody. They are new gen meds, not the old school, though.

I really hate saying this, but I find the music very distracting. If this is asking too much, I can understand, but if it's possible, can you type in what you said in the description? You don't have to if you don't want to, but I am very interested in what you have to say about the condition but I can't concentrate with the music. I'm very sorry, but I find classical music very distracting. Gee...

I enjoyed watchinh this. I remeber asking my therapist to explain much of these type of things you explained here. I find myself super curious, and eager to "figure it out" not actually knowing... I only wish I could. How old are you, and when did it all start? Btw, I like the music in the background...

Perhaps the key insight of Jungian psychology is that mental illness isnt a purely individual phenomenon, but a manifestation of larger imbalances in the culture and psyche of mankind. Schizophrenics are the scapegoats of a culture which clings to it's own superficial certainties, refusing to confront the contradictions and questions bubbling up from it's own depths; they are the receptacles of all the psychical garbage which has been denied and has yet to be dealt with within the culture.

@Calixtine might be schizoaffective, with a lot of bipolar or depressive symptoms. not only schizophrenics hear voices and lose appetite...

@thewho808 Sounds like you are developing schizophrenic symptoms, whether you have had what is termed an "acute psychotic break." Schizophrenia, at least in terms of illness manifesting, is a "chronic psychosis." It's a bit more subtle unless stress pushes you over the edge into an acute, intense disconnection. So avoid stress, and learn to meditate and exercise and eat well and contain your rage and connect with yourself. Be healthy. Be strong. That's the best thing. The only thing.

@1dubgal My advice is to seek outside the mainstream. Find a competent therapist who uses hypnotic regression. Drugs are a last resort, and a means of suppressing the symptoms of a cultural disease. Schizophrenics are scapegoats of societal imbalances, and you need a doctor who gets that. Check out Terence McKenna's video "Schizophrenic or Shamanic" and Jung's RED BOOK. You need a competent guide, not some quack who dismisses your visions/delusions as having no deeper significance.

i dont think i have schizophernia. but i always feel tho someone is watching me, i hear voices telling me what to do and i see people (example: my granndpa who died way back in 01) and i loose my appitite. my friend had told me to watch something on shcizopherna. and when i told my mom aboout the hullusinations, she didnt say anything at all. bbut, this doesnt sound like schizophernia...does it?
