I have schizophrenia and depression AMA

[Ghost Utmost]

Seems like being busy and having alot to do would help.

Art? Dance? Book club? Pool? Run races? Swim?

You could perhaps fill your days with things to do besides brood?

And. Maybe you meet some people who like to do the things you choose to do.

Not knowing what's real sounds scary, but I know you understand what is most likely. You just gotta get good at realizing that you're tripping on something may have seen or heard wrong.

I like to make music and write scribble shyt in my journal. That helps sometimes. Also walking and expending energy.

Meeting people is hard though. I try but theres always difficulties maintaining relationships.

Op has demons on himself but he's calling it "schizophrenia" for being diagnosed by soulless europeans.
Meds won't help him, the only one that can help is the Most High.

I agree with your point about them putting a label on everything .

But there’s a big difference between feeling depressed over a negative life event and going through life feeling fukked up on the daily; lack of motivation to do even minor thongs. Feeling like you’re just existing and not giving a fukk about yourself or anyone. People take medicine for a variety of reasons, if it helps alleviate some of the mental torture then I’m not judging.

I understand what you mean.

Im not on meds at the moment, but I do abuse alcohol and other substances from time to time.

I was clean for the most part before a certain event recently, since then i've just been spiraling out and dont know how to calm my mind.

Dude real talk, when something like this happens...do something really out the norm...go for a jog at midnight. Start randomly cleaning your house. Call someone up you haven't talked to in awhile. Something...biggest thing, you have to do something to ground yourself.

Try CBD breh. I have BPD and it has worked better than any meds I have ever been given.

One of my childhood friends started acting super weird all of a sudden, I hadnt seen him for about four months. He started sending weird texts and I ran into him one time hiding behind some bushes


He would ofcourse say he’s fine, spoke to his brother and he gave me the whole rundown; he had broken down a couple months ago, they had forcefully admitted him to a psych ward, religious and non religious delusions etc. They thought he had developed schizophrenia...

The weird texts continued and I had to say something, after that he started to become distant and didnt respond to me. Last I spoke to him he said he had become a christian and didnt want me contacting him anymore.

When I start to think back he was always a left field, about 6-7 years ago he started talking about god in a round about way...

How’s your contact with your friends and do you see any similarities at all in your situation? Sorry if the question seems silly or if Im generalizing.

Have you ever tried or been advised to change your diet? Im asking because I've been reading and listening to a few podcasts about how food (gluten, sugar, most carbs) can affect the brain. I've heard about people who have battled depression for years claim to have drastic improvements after just a month or 2 on a strict Keto or Paleo diet.

No, you're not generalizing. I understand your your question. From what you describe it definitely sound like a form of schizophrenia. My mind often drifts and races off and i send off topic texts and such to people. Sometimes, as a way for help, for understanding, or just to send them.

I often ghost away from people and stuff show up unexpected too.

As for contact with my friends, I never had many friends to begin with. I lost contact with my best friend around 7th grade and about a year ago i finally made a good friend but they've grown tired of my antics and moved on. Sometimes I still somewhat beg for them to just let me talk to them, but its easy to understand they have better things to worry about.

The two brands i have tried are cbdistillery and green mountain cbd. The former has a bunch of different versions (vape, isolate, tincture). But my favorite as of now is the green mountain oil. 30$ for 600mg in a 60ml bottle. I take two full droppera twice a day, hold it under my tounge for 30 seconds to a minute, and within 20 minutes or less my mind stops racing and I'm hella relaxed.

The isolate and vape work a lot faster but fade a little quicker.

I actually did do a paleo diet for about a year. I lost a bunch of weight and felt relatively good.

Then a situation transpired and put me in a hole again. With other circumstances the diet does help. You just need certain parameters to be functioning also. Otherwise you just feel whats the point in the long run

How do you feel about manic episodes? I used to get them multiple times a week, sometimes a day, but now I've identified a lot of triggers and don't have to worry as much.

At times I would bring them on purposely but I know it's not healthy so I try my best to avoid them now.
