Anybody on here Schizophrenic? Wanna vent...

[Chubbs]

Growing up I had an imaginary friend, then it was a voice in my head. I took some medication for it, an anti-psychotic during middle and high school. Then he disappeared, never heard from him again. He was Talking about yo imma kill this bytch. During that period I had frequent dreams of being locked up for something I didn't know what for.

I stopped my medication since I began college. But he's not so , he tells me to work hard, talk to that girl breh. I have whole conversations with this nikka, I think he's the smartest dude I've ever met.

I think i met this nikka in my dreams too, he looked exactly like me.

Yeah, it's like constant voices non-stop and they won't go away.

Are u serious? It even happens when you're trying to sleep? Damn that would be exhausting.

My cousin has it. The nikka tells him to do demonic shyt. One time I forgot to take him to the movies after I promised him. He tried to set the house on fire. I ran down to bk. He looked at me like I'm like . I spent the whole month taking him to the movies on tuesdays. I was a broke ass college student too.

STOP OVERTHINKING .. SIMPLE SCIENCE

Nah, I'm trying to set up a appointment tho.

STAY AWAY FROM MEDS

Not exactly OP. Been told by a few doctors I was psychotic at different points in my 20's. I was pretty ordinary until age 22.

They aren't sure if I'm Bipolar or Schizoaffective. I've never experienced hallucinations or delusions unless I was abusing hallucinogenic drugs. My symptoms are mood swings, impulsivity, paranoia, anxiety, sleep disturbances, high energy, and lack of motivation. Latuda and Depakote is what I take. It's the only combo that keeps me stable without side effects such as high blood sugar, weight gain, sedation, or violent thoughts. It's still my responsibility to eat right and exercise at least moderately otherwise the problems are still there.

Most of my ongoing issues result from dishonesty or self-deceit concerning my addiction, sexuality, strengths, and weaknesses. I change my mind a lot and don't wan't to be who I am nor where I am. It also pisses me off I'm on an anti-psychotic (Latuda) and have an as needed for anxiety.

My violent acts, psychosis, loss of opportunities all stemmed from drug use or withdrawal in early months of sobriety. I relapsed after 3 years clean. I have 15 months clean now. Even if you aren't an addict, any inch or alcohol, drugs, or nicotine can throw you off. It's a gift and a curse of a person with a chemical imbalance.

STAY AWAY FROM MEDS

A Doctor would have to decide that, they all have side effects, bu sometimes the benefits outweigh the downsides. The whole point of meds is to balance out chemicals so that one can "stop thinking so much" and use inner resources. Nowadays, most doctors use less tunnel vision and are more willing to lsiten to patients.

People Chemical imbalances die younger and are more susceptible to diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and other diseases. Homelessness and substance abuse are also typical outcomes.

My older cousin has it. He is always quiet. He used to be kind of violent in the beginning, but now, since taking meds and stuff, he's just quiet and stares a lot. It's kinda sad. He loss his job, wife, personality and kids. I think it runs in the males of the family. Not sure though.

You need to stop trying to give people this poor medical advice. People need meds if they have a chemical imbalance. Being schizo is not like other mental illnesses where you can decide if you want to take meds or not.

C'mere i suffer from bipolar schizophrenia as well when me n them bytchs n my head ain't fighting we have a awesome time. Learn to make ur illness work 4 u n enjoy life. If u ever wanna talk my inbox is always open n ur always welcome n it stays between us.

Yeah, it's like constant voices non-stop and they won't go away.

Do the voices sound like other people's voices or your own?

Do you actually hear them or is it like reading/thinking in your head? Like it sounds like you're tuning everything out and focusing on your own thoughts?

 

[AlwaysLurkin]

I wouldn't tell anyone to get off their meds especially if u dont know how bad they have it

 

[BrandonBanks]

I got PTSD and a lot of ppl don't understand man.

 

[sanityovar8ted]

Do you take meds for it? When did you start having episodes?

I get a monthly haldol injection . I started having episodes at 19 I wasn't diagnosed til I was 25 tho n it took 6 yrs to find the right meds for me.

The voices differ.. sometimes I think I can read ppl thoughts cuz I hear whole conversations that aren't real. I have busted into rooms ready to fight asking wtf u just say...it's crazy
