  • I have schizophrenia sometimes I feel that I have a hard life but there are always others out there that need help more then me. I have meds that I will NEVER stop they keep me going with out people saying I seem crazy

  • straight from the heart!, much love...... I live with schizophrenia, manic depression, and aspergers syndrome................ this hits hard.......

  • I live with paranoid schizophrenia, I have my whole life. I am a college student who often feel alone and isolated from those around me, even from my friends and family. When I came across this video, not only could I relate to everything in it, most importantly it lets you know you not alone. I thank you for that.

  • I live with schizophrenia, the lyrics hit me very hard, and made me feel like im not the only one... alot of people have this, and we all have to fight..

    btw. the songs title describes everything...

  • Im schizoaffective an Paranoid Delusional and have been battling suicidal depression for my many years...I have played this song at my high school reunion and ppl couldnt believe that this is why I was the way I was...so many time in a Mental ward and being sent to a ER for self harm..ppl are now aware now so thank you from whats left of my broken soul.... :')

  • @Jason4923 you're welcome man. Stay up, that's why we made it hopefully people understand you better now.

  • awsome song, im hooked

  • i have shizophrenia,got this voice who wont leave me alone,constantly berating me...she has never suggested death yet,just contemplated what it would be like if i did...this is such a beutiful song

  • I hear voices everyday. I struggle with 12 of them and have befriended 4 of them. Im glad I found this song. I have the book at home. I also see faces of all 16 of my voices. After reading the comments of people who also have schizophrenia, reading the book, and listening to this song its makes me feel better to know that there are people who have the same problem as me.

  • skitzo~16 years old~ male in florida~ bawlling my squinty little eyes out~ i love you guys for giving me a song to keep myself organized

  • I read the book cover to cover and it's the best book to understanding schizophrenia. I am working on my masters in psychology and have recently encountered someone with schizophrenia. Lori has taken me into a deeper level of understanding the tormenting madness of the illness. I can honestly say that I have become a better person after reading this book!! If you suffer from schizophrenia and love this song, please consider reading the book! Thank you for the song. Awesome work! :)

  • People don't understand the suffering we go through every day just to stay alive. More music should be made about mental illness because people don't understand how real it really is. Great song - thanks for posting.

  • Wow!

    I remembered liking this song a while back and decided to listen again.

    You sure have gotten a lot more hits since I last listened, like 10x more.

    I'm glad, this is a very good song.

    I hope for your future success :)

  • i found his song while doing an assignment on schizophrenia. i wanted to cry when listnening to this. i originally took no notice of this illness but now i know that theres much more than that.

  • I've suffered through schizophrenia my whole life. My visions are either sweet, innocent little things or they're something that no one should ever see. It's like I'm witnessing every murder possible all in one room. Thanks for making this song so on point, I can explain my condition better since I've found this.

  • who is this by?

  • this hits so close to home i feel that way now sitting in a quiet room

  • skits mantis at the end is schizophrenic, ive been following his music for a while hes pretty dope

  • Are any of you schizophrenic? Just wondering.

  • I fucking hate this song for how on target it is... I cry to this song and I don't cry over anything... Thank you....

  • it's nice, thanks for uploading. keep it up~ that's all

  • beautiful

  • I've been off meds for 3 months now and doing ok. The haldol and seroquel combo was too sedating, I couldn't care for my kids or myself. Now the voices are still there, and I see stuff too, but I keep telling myself that it's all a part of my disease, it's not real...sometimes it's hard, when I'm being screamed at by the person that lives in my head, but I just tell him to fuck off and keep my faith in God and in myself. Hopefully I can keep it up. Awesome song, amazing book.

  • Amazing. i can relate.

  • I can sadly relate to it. Voices don't tell me I'm better off dead so I won't even say it's omg super-duper like butt I can "hear" conversations of my friends/family and hearing how they hate me andd stuff.

    Either way, It's a great song! It definitely makes me want to check out the book!

  • einfach beautiful!!!!!very nice!!!!

    i love it!!!!

  • most gladly!

  • I have the book and I live with Schizophrenia so on target, thanks a million for this song, it's unspeakable!

  • @soymiguelalejandro23 thanks so much. Please pass along too. Hopefully sooner or later it will get back to the author.

  • @soymiguelalejandro23 Thank you so much. Please pass along too.  Hopefully sooner or later it will get back to the author too.

  • Just finished the book.. Thanks for introducing me to it and letting my use this vid in my psychology class.

  • wow this song realy speaks to me. i'm skitso and this song is so true. i've been through every ting in this song accept i survived my suicide attempt. thanks alot for this song. this book sounds really good so i think i'll pick up a copy the next time i go to barns&nobles. thanks again u did a steller job. (sorry for the spelling errors)

  • Wow... This is really, really good...

  • @Nexev4TW thank you, please send around, you can get the mp3 on our site too

  • People just hate, when they should appretiate because without music the world wouldnt have no sound so keep on doing what yall are doing its great

  • I hulucinate, see things and hear things. i think my travel teacher is purposly changing my school exam marks, and chages my test so i get it wrong. i stapple my curtains shut and i write things like "i hate my life." "f*** my life" because i get suicidal. the voices say they guna get me, its a girl.

    I got an assesment done, and they said that i have 'secondry anxiety'

    i thought anxiety was nervous? and worried? i know im anxious, i had meds originally. but, apparently this is anxiety to

  • @GammerGirl1 the test thing and that doesnt sound bizzare enough to be a dellusion of schiz

    when u are stressed and anxious u can have hallucinations and what ur voices are saying to you sounds like anxiety as they are installing fear into you

    hope things get better for you :)

  • @DylanJamesAkaSavD

    Hmph :/ nobody understands

  • @GammerGirl1 i do..... i have paranoid schizophrenia i was diagnosed at 15 and i know that you may be developing schiz as they didnt think i had it at first but that was coz i wasnt telling them the full story.......... but the difference is my dellusions were really bizarre and i didnt know i was having them same with the hallucinations coz the truth is, its that real tha you dont know ur having hallucinations or dellusions as u lose contact with reality

  • @DylanJamesAkaSavD

    hello. i appreiciate your comment

    i understand what and where your comeing from.

    the doctor said i just had phycohis..

    wahts phycohis

  • @GammerGirl1 i dnt no

    but if you meant psychosis then its when a person loses contact with reality for example psychosis is the posative symptoms (hallucinations, delusions so on) of schizophrenia but it doesnt mean u have schiz it could mean u have bi-polar with psychosis or psychotic deppression or it could be caused with something organic such as an illness

    but trust me u dnt want schiz !!!!!!!

  • @DylanJamesAkaSavD

    Um, The doctor said he'll take a guess and it was schiz. But i definatly have phychois. Um, Im worried. I mean if im doagnosed with schiz whats going to happen? Im on medication that treats schiz. Risperidone. Thats my meds. My mom cant accept this she hates me now, Is my future worried if i get diagnosed with this? Can u tell me how your copeing? Hows ur life? whats going to happen to me if im diagnosed with schiz? Thankyou.

  • @GammerGirl1 send me a personal message with ur e-mail and i wil talk to u through that

    do u have msn ??

    only thing is i dnt really wanna post bout my life on here

  • @DylanJamesAkaSavD

    Yes i have msn. okay, ill message you now okay?

  • I can see these guys getting really far :)

  • GJ ! Simply Said

  • This song is kinda depressing :|

  • Comment removed

  • @GammerGirl1 Same here but if you were schizophrenic then you should know that schizophrenia is different for everyone and not everyones voice will tell them they are better off dead.

  • @truthspoken420

    yeah, i relaised.. everyones is different

  • @GammerGirl1 i have paranoid schizophrenia and my voices told me to hurt other people and myself they told me if i killed myself then they could look after me better because the voices i heard were of dead people i had never met they also told me that my family didnt want me anymore and thats why they let the doctors take me to hospital

    so i guess in a way they did tell me i was better off dead

    everyones experiance with schiz is different

  • I don't know if I have schizophrenia, and hopefully I will never will be told and hopefully I will never have it. My voice comes and goes, but has gone ever since he made me attack people at school. If he ever does whisper I just take the micky out of him and he shuts up. I have only lost one friend because I thought she was against me, but all my friends are the best friends I have ever met. xxx

  • this is a beast song

  • Exactly how it is

  • I was once depressed, feeling like I would be better off dead, but now I'm happy and enjoying life.

    Thats just how things are.

  • " Voices in my head telling me i'm better dead "

    D:

  • ...

    Right when I heard "Voices in my head telling me i'm better dead" I stopped listening.

    Docter told me i'm skitzo.

    But my voices never have once told me i'm better dead. >_>

  • @IXArkAngelXI No problem. This song is based on the book, and that's simply what she heard.

  • @IXArkAngelXI

    Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot, the world revolves around you

    Don't worry. We will change the lyrics ASAP, so that you can relate to them better.

  • @IXArkAngelXI Of course, everyone's voices say something different. Not everyone's will say to kill themselves, and not everyone's will say to them what yours say to you. :)

  • @IXArkAngelXI Then lucky you, I have them daily trying to get me to kill myself or something...

  • its been a little over a year now, shits still dope, this is skits im at the end , thanks for the support keep the comments comin , peace

  • @skitsmantis, Skits did the last verse, and also the crazy voices after the choruses

  • skits mantis hes a crazy ma fucker

  • I want to by some jack hammer subs, and crank this song to full blast. such a wonder ful song.

  • thanks man, if you do, post on youtube for sure

  • for those people (my people ) hold on

  • I'm a french person so i'm really sorry for my language mistakes. I've disvored this song in one hour and i've download it in few minutes ago.

    I can't tell you how i fell in this moment but i'm verry sad. This song is so true and your song is really beautiful and powerful. Every lyrics is a blow in full heart.

    Thanks for them, thanks for that, thanks for everybody who knows persons with this disease.

  • your not alone

  • To all the people who comment here, and are schizophrenia fighters, hang in there , there is a light at the end. My husband of 15 years is a schizophrenia fighter for about six year now.You don't only need medications, you must have family support, that is what myself and my children aged 12 and 14 give my husband.

    You all have a beautiful mind.

    And for those who lost a relative, may God give them strength.

  • @Nueroactive no, how about a big go fuck yourself. you damn douche bag.

  • Please tell me what was written that you respond that way. This is the first time that I heard this song. Not sure why my name is posted here, there isn't anything in writing. I neither visited here nor posted here. And all I can see is the -6 and my name.

  • how far will i go???

  • This song speaks to me. My parents don't even know how horribly tortured my life has been since i was young. And now that Im on meds they think its all better. You can take a prisoner out of the dungeon but that doesn't instantly make him better. And when i discorved weed before i had the voices went away. And then they take that from me and put me on this horrible medication that made everything worse. Now im on these meds that kinda work and i guess, you know, whatever.

  • Wonderful.

  • This song is awesome

  • to everyone who has or knows someone who has this dessies hold on think of the ones you love dont feel like your not worth it and you should die no matter what the voices say! please!

  • wtmcgehee I understand how you feel about losing a family member. But you don't understand what the schizophrenic goes through making them want to die. If you lived in my shoes, you would see. Believe me I am not trying to get mad or angry, but I am just trying to make you understand.

  • I almost cry because of how powerful this song is, It's beautiful.

    It just gets the point through.

    Recently I've been getting stuck with homework. I can never focus. Can't get sleep at night. Can't stay awake in the Day. Paranoid of taking anymore medication because my mom recently gave me Niquil and Sudafed, and I tripped... Bad.

    Just Living, Has been pure hell recently.

    I found this video, It's Helped.

    I'd Just like to thank everyone who helped make this Video. ~ Jesse

  • My Brother committed suicide 3 years after he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. If you have schizophrenia and have thoughts of suicide please hold on and think of what your family has to go threw when your gone. Its been 6 years and I miss my brother everyday. Thanks for this video!

  • @wtmcgehee - i'm sorry that happended, but you have to look at life from his shoes. Imagine going through life being constantly told you're not good neough, and seeing everything, not being able to even think straight. It's difficult.

    Once again, i'm deeply sorry for your loss.

  • @wtmcgehee I have schizophrenia. He did himself a favor. He's in a better place. KNOW THAT.

  • this song explains alot about me im schizophrenia

  • OMG BEST SONG EVER HEARD AWSOME!

  • I met the author of this book years ago in the Poconos at a conference for Mental Health professional. She was amazing. The medication changed her life. I hope everyone keeps their hopes and dreams alive because this disease will be more than treatable. It will be symptom free as we continue to research and find medications that help. This women over came so much. Keep the faith. Great song.
