I don't have shizophrenia, my therapist said I'm a sociopath but meh, not sure about it.
I don't see shizophrenia as a bad thing tho..
How does it affect you? Interested in your story

Mental health disorders are generally degenerative meaning the longer they go untreated the worse they get take your meds listen to your doctor you'll be fine

>>676793939
What made your therapist think you have a high chance?

>>676793939
>93939
nice
I don't know if theres anything wrong with me, I keep hearing things and seeing bad shit when I close my eyes. I also have strong compulsions to hurt people who I hold close. I don't want to do that but the thought keeps coming back. It's probably nothing, just wanted to bring that up.

Already did, they said OCD or something. I wasn't completely honest because I didn't want to get thrown in a hospital. Been taking meds and that doesn't seem to be helping. Don't want to go back because I can't afford it and I don't want to go to my parents for help, I don't want them worrying about me even more. It's all good though, I can eventually provide for myself and I don't mind living alone too much. I'll always have you guys.

>It's a terrible condition to have.
Not necessarily. You could say that about life while you're at it. It really depends on the degree that it fucks your life up. Schizophrenia is a social construct.
It's an extremely broad term for people who aren't "normies" mentally.

>>676794957

>>676793939
I also have a high chance of schizophrenia .
Doctors say it's treatable...
Oh well it's not like i got a fucking choice

I don't feel sad or sympathetic when something like the Paris attacks or a school shooting happens. I'm assuming nobody else does but they just pretend to care. Am I wrong?

>>676796436
Well, that's hard. Your therapist is right, start taking meds

>>676797434
You're wrong.

>>676797114
I'm pretty sure thats just introversion vs extroversion.

>>676797434
No you're not. Everybody who feels sad or sympathetic with this is a hypocrite...
If you don't know these people, then you obviously can't relate and feel nothing, same for me

>>676797114
The effects of Shizophrenia OP told us are the degree that fucks life up.
In weaker states Shizophrenia can lead to other points of view on certain topics and thus is interesting to research in my eyes.

>>676797837
Yeah that's how I feel about it. Of course, if it was someone I knew I would probably feel something.

>>676797766
Both introversion and extroversion can be considered symptoms of some forms of Schizophrenia, as a matter of fact. Deviating from the norm makes a person liable to be considered schizophrenic or schizotypal.

It would only be the therapists opinion what your issue is anyway. These people are not scientists, they aren't medical experts, TBH the whole psychology field has little actual insight on human nature or conditions beyond what your neighbor could deduce from common sense. These people have sociology degrees which focus on shit like social justice for fucks sake.

One of my best friends from high school figured out he had it shortly after graduation when were all in college. It's been less than a year since then. He believes that he invented time travel and the government has put him in a psych ward "naturally" because he broke the God complex and is on a quest to bring the truth and love to the world. He also claimed I'm part of the sen-8 or some shit and that soon they'll be after me, too. Talked to him a few times while he was in the ward, haven't heard from him since.

It will get worse, anon. I'm sorry

>>676800976
Personally I think it's just a scam, a very good one at that. These people will often just make up a diagnosis if they don't see anything wrong, and since it's mental health, it's very hard to contest that. I say don't seek psychiatric help unless you get it for free or your insurance mostly covers it.

schizophrenia is highly romanticized. the majority of those afflicted have issues with self-care, memory, focus and motivation (disorganized subtype) . bizarre delusions and hallucinations are very rare, even among schizophrenics.

>>676801190
It affects everything. Makes me unable to trust. Paranoia. Believe things that are not real. Voices tell me many things. So many. Some are nice and just want conversations. Others tell me to go out and kill people. And yes. If i didnt have this disorder I'd likely be much more productive and be able to hold a steady job. Meds keep me alive and not totally wanting to kill things.

>>676793939
I would get a second opinion for such a serious diagnosis. Also just be honest. Never try to be "edgy" with a mental health professional.

>>676801613
I feel very sad for you.. What meds are you taking?

>>676793939
I smoked a lot of weed and i've always been paranoid, I bet i'm already 50% schizophrenic. im 21.

Well I had a paranoid schizophrenic episode and ended up fucking up my ankle because of it. I always had a touch of it i think but something happened where a lot of people were looking at me for a legitimate reason but because of my reaction to it, i clearly must have had an underlying schizoid personality,

To be honest, it probably has changed me permanently. Although i could never trust anybody else, because of what i did i feel like i can never even truly trust myself anymore. I recommend speaking to a therapist if you start getting worried. Do not let it go untreated. I ended up only being able to listen to the sound of rain for two weeks. I have seen some pretty fucked up shit in my life but it was fucking horrifying. I think i would rather die than go through it again.

>>676797114
Man you're a goddamn fool and you don't know what it's like to lose your mind. It's horrible and makes it almost impossible to find enjoyment out of life.

Tell me fucking more about how there's nothing wrong with legitimately believing there are people plotting to kill you at all times, hearing voices you can't discern as real or fake and becoming so engrossed in complex delusions and theories that it consumes your entire life.

Just be honest or they can't help you.

You can fight it. You can even harness it as long as you will it. You will have to create mental bookends and logic loops for it to work. It's your brain...why not try and fix it yourself?

Schizophrenia is a degenerative disorder of the brain which 1. spawns delusions by affecting your memory 2. creates hallucinations that inspire more delusions 3. destroys your brain. You know Alzheimer's disease? It's related to that.

Full blown schizophrenia is like being permanently high on scopolamine. The medication will slow down the experience, but it will not stop it. There's no high or euphoria. It's just full blown crippling insanity that does not end. You and I probably do not understand this shit, because we're relatively sane. But if you've done plenty drugs and had your share of bad trips, then you've got an idea of what it's like. You probably think that the medications will fix things and things will kinda be okay - it wont.
The medications work by retarding your brain's frontal lobe activity, chemically lobotomizing the patient. For each year on hardcore medication you will lose 2 IQ points or more. I shit you not; if you have schizophrenia your life will most certainly turn into pure burrito tier diarrhea.

Look at this image. It was drawn by an artist who got schizophrenia. Over the years the illness got worse and it can be seen in his art. To truly understand how crippling this illness is, you must understand that for the artist the first and the last painting appear the same.

>>676803061
Killing animals or hurting yourself is the main one. Other than that just not seeking help when things get bad.

>>676800976
Actually just saying a psychOLOGIST may fot this profile but PsychIATRIST has to go through medical school and is a licenced doctor who specialises in mental health. I plan on becoming a psychiatrist because I want to help people, it is very interesting, and I would make a lot of money. Some Psychiatrists may be scammers bc they make $200,000 a year but I doubt psychologists would, they usually make around $60,000 which is kinda low

From personal experience it's no more "wrong" than you or the rest of this world. It's the meds that suck the spirit and joy out.

I've never acted on suicidal thoughts but I've come close. Whenever I have an episode of depression it just becomes a downward spiral of thoughts and when I hit the bottom I kinda go into this weird trance where I look around the house to find an effective and painless method of suicide. For the first time the other day I fitted my belt around my neck just to see if it'd work and then I kinda snapped out of it when I saw how stupid I looked with a belt around my neck

This is partly true, but supressing it is not the solution, one day it will (at least for more severe disorders) flow over and all that pent up shit will explode at the same time.

The best solution is to see a (good) shrink about it and try to work through it like an adult.
Find out what you have to do to live your life as close as possible to what you want with your disorder.

They have not been worn down that much by years of handling everything from total nutcases to attention starved idiots. The downside to them may be that they are a bit to much textbook though.

Or find a private one (if you live in a country where there are ones employed by the state) that actually does it because they like it.

I myself don't suffer from mental disorders but I'm interested in how it affects people.
But I don't know if I would want to work in your busyness, was there a time you were frightened that a inpatient would harm you?

I used to live with one. He disappeared Christmas Eve and a month later turned up in a hospital on the opposite end of the states. Somehow made it there in the dead of winter with nothing but a t-shirt and blue jeans. Came home, came to live with him. He ranted about shit like birds in the neighborhoods having cameras that were watching him, to being the reborn Jesus Christ.

Went through seroquel, doxapin, four different antidepressants and some other pills I don't remember. None of them worked. Been in the psych ward for five stays since I've known him. The last time he came out he got arrested for trying to steal pills from a store, then when he got out of jail he went right back to the psych ward and ended up in a foster home.

They took him off his meds. Completely delusional and paranoid. They let him have an overnight pass to come home for Christmas. I crashed at his house. Woke up at 6am and found a note saying "At police station, filing missing person report." He waited til everyone was asleep and took off on foot to walk 300 miles to his dad's house. I get to visit him every other week, he never talks anymore. Yay schizophrenia~

You're just delusional, and it is "wrong". It's not a fucking quirk, or a different lifestyle, or a different way of seeing the world. It is a mental illness that inhibits your ability to interact with others and society in general.

I have schizophrenia and I take just Invega sustenna, the plus side is that I don't get delusions anymore and can lead a somewhat normal life, the downside is the meds make it nearly impossible to have an orgasm and I can't feel feels anymore like I can't be sad or happy I'm just "stable".

Yeah that sounds ridiculous, some people shouldn't be in that field and I agree it is definitely less scientific than physical health and relies on a lot of interpretation and speculation. That psych sounds ridiculous but I feel rn psychiatry as a whole is the best at a scientific effort that is possible with our knowledge. Most will probably be disproved wrong later like Freud's work was even though it seemed right with our knowledge then. Still a very young science since we only just stopped treating these people like they were possessed or witches or something illogical.

Delusional Disorder here. Paranoia is fun (NOT!). The things I am paranoid about are "reasonable or possible". ie. I don't think I'm Jesus! But seriously its 'parts of schizophrenia' disease.

Don't kill yourself, or talk about doing it with others that'll get you held somewhere. Also don't threaten anyone else, kill things etc. Avoid being locked up stay FREE.

>>676806647
>It's not a fucking quirk, or a different lifestyle, or a different way of seeing the world.

That's pretty much a checklist of things psychiatrists and counselors have told me signify schizophrenia. It has never been proven to be a biological illness, it is all based on societies prejudices and intolerance of people who are different.

Also make sure take your meds they will help somewhat.

I have an undergrad and graduate degree. I was relatively successful but stinging a sentence together is next to impossible at times now. Thank goodness I had a good career going when I started to go downhill. Now I'll pretty much get paid decent at work or get something at least if I end up to far disabled.

This fuckin edgy bastard.

Schizophrenic here. Please read this. If you have had only one psychotic episode consider taking a small dose of an antipsychotic for no more then 3 weeks. There is a 1 in 4 chance the symptoms will go away with continued thereby and life style change.

Your shrink will want to put you on a large dose of something. New reach shows that smaller doses work better. I learned that the hard way. I was on 4mg of risperdal which sounds small but isn't for that particular medication. I am now on .5 mg of risperdal and I am doing much better.

Also, take glysine, American ginseng, fish oil, ginger, garlic, etc.

Continue therapy,
take the meds,
be cooperative.

Since you're a guy you should just feel lucky you found out earlier instead of hitting 50 going through menopause and then going crazy.

Please do some research!

Does anyone here have an anxiety disorder? Like I'm constantly jittering and nervous all the fucking time. I'm on meds for it, and I take ativan when I have anxiety attack. Used to have depression but got over that pretty fast, probably had just for <10 months

Tickle yourself. Schizo's can do that. You are one lucky faggot.

>>676812039
shouldn't it be the professionals doing this research, not the consumers? i'm all for taking an active roll in treatment but i would never purport to know more than a doctor... okay, tbh, i would, but i'm just a cunt about it while deferring to their expertise.

It depends actually. In developed societies it's one of the most debilitating conditions a person can have. In developing and primitive societies schizophrenics tend to function as well, and be as happy as anyone else.

For me it's bad I guess, but could be a lot worse. I'm able to hold down a job (machinist) and I can kind of function around other people most of the time at least. I don't hear voices, or think people are out to get me though. My problem is that my thoughts are frequently a fragmented, incoherent mess, and they can get pretty bizarre and disturbing. I have difficulty verbalizing my thoughts too. It's really noisy in my head. I find it more tiring and frustrating than frightening though. Like I said, I know it could be a lot worse.

>>676812680
do you work? do you self-medicate in anyway? i hear nicotine is actually helpful in my biggest problem which is sensitivity to external stimuli.

Shouldn't the car dealer do the research on the best car for you too? Why would you personally bother to look into things when the guys running the business will be happy to tell you?

>>676797114
>has never met a person with schizophrenia


Also like these guys are saying, take your meds, they help you, and once you are on them, stay on them. You will notice that you seem to be doing fine and you'll think you don't need to be on them anymore. You do need to be on them, and that's okay, there's nothing wrong with that. Schizophrenia is natural and you can't help that you have it.

My father was recently diagnosed, he originally told me my step mother was injecting him with drugs while he sleeps so that he would be diagnosed with something. Had hallucinations, terrified that people were spying on him, thought my step mother was going to get someone to kill him with her mob ties (i could see her doing something like this though)
Now he is on medication and he seems to be doing fine. I can't be there with him every day because I'm a US Marine, but he no longer calls me 100 times a day to clear things up for him. Only hits me up on facebook messenger to tell me the things he bought for me (he is obsessed with buying me things, and I mean obsessed).

Just make sure to surround yourself with people who care about you anon, and if they're your family or anyone who you have known for years and years, they are not out to get you. they care about you.

>>676813213

What exactly is horrible about what I'm proposing? He should do research before he is on a large amount of medication for the rest of his life.

Perhaps you should change your archaic way of thinking. Albeit, yes I am not the best source but I am not asking for him to listen to me. I want him to do his own research so he can have an informed conversation with his psychiatrist.

>>676800854
You man as someone who is actually Schizophrenic I need to know;
I never am truly able to trust people. I am convinced that they will not only betray me, but that this is their goal.
I don't hear voices per se, but I do hear unintelligible whispers from time to time.
I also find it hard to tell when I'm awake. I don't know what is real most of the time. I have hallucinated twice.

Does this sound like stuff you have experienced?

You are a very disagreeable person. Why are you so hostile to others? Not happy with your life?

I'm not taking my medication because I think my doctor is one of them and he's trying to poison me, I mean I know it's not true but for some reason I still can't take them because maybe it's right.

>>676814825
I don't like people who appeal to authority to give their statements merit. Your degree doesn't make you infallible. How much did you actually study Schizophrenia at school? How much experience have you had with schizophrenic patients?

then again, a schizophrenic is like a broken computer. it can't diagnose it's own problem. it takes somebody else to examine it and find the cause. psychoeducation is important and you should be informed... but to take your treatment on yourself entirely is foolish.

I'm not a therapist but I do work in mental health with Schizophrenia.

Here's what I can tell you.

1. Learn about it so you understNd what's happening. This will help you cope better.

2. Find meds that work. This can take some time and they might not work at first. Work with your psychiatrist to sort this out.

3. Take your meds! They can't find out what works and what doesn't unless you keep taking them. Also, a good day doesn't mean to stop taking them.

4. Let your support system (friends and family) know what's up.

5. Be careful with drugs; they can make it worse.

It is certainly manageable. Best of luck, anon.

Pic related is a cheeky meerkat.

>>676817114
too add since i don't think i'm being completely clear...
there are doctors who will treat you and accept that you don't want to be medicated. why not see a psychiatrist while also not taking medication. my own psychiatrist, albeit reluctantly, was okay with me seeing him while being unmedicated.

>>676794369
>I don't see shizophrenia as a bad thing tho..
my dad had shizophrenia. he was an asshole. emotionally cold as ice. socially completely incapable.
when i think of him, there is just nothing and hate.

in my twenties i had my own phase of shizophrenia (triggered by pot). it was horrible. and it hurts your self-confidence when you experienced that you could not trust yourself anymore.

i quit pot and fight the malicious thoughts when they occur. haven't had a schizo phase for >10 years.

>>676815765
I used to get drunk to "solve" my problems. I could pretend to be social and I climbed very high on that ladder, but it all exploded when the one man I had based all of my hopes on a brighter future turned out to be nothing but a perfect liar. He presented a beautiful fantasy of life to me, and I believed it, for 3 1/2 years. I pulled myself out of my dismal dark solitude for that... "man"... only to have him gladly throw me back in for the sake of his pathetic ego. And it turned out, my dear fam, that life sucks just as much as we think it does. I convinced myself that life was beautiful... but it's awful. It's horrible. Every day is a struggle. It used to be so beautiful all because of him and his beautiful lies. Reality is so cruel.
