Any schizophrenics on here?
It runs in my family, and ever since a pretty traumatic breakup around 6 months ago happened I've been having delusions and other weird symptoms. One of the most common ones for me is hard to explain. You know that feeling where you're at like an event or something but don't know anyone and you don't know how to act and you question everything you do and panic? I get that in my own home. All the time. Like whenever I see even my dad it takes me a minute to calm myself and tell myself that's really my dad. Even when I'm alone I question everything I do, like when I'm making a meal I question if this is really my food or not. It only lasts a split second most of the time but it's really freaking me out.
Some of the delusions I've had are thinking that God literally wants me to die and stuff like that.
When I talked to my shrink about all this he looked at me like I was fucking nuts, but he wouldn't tell me anything and I'm worried he's not allowed to tell me because it would speed up the process or some shit.
Am I going full-blown schizo? I've heard after a traumatic event it can take up to 2 years to fully emerge.
Any schizophrenics on here?
Also I get this isn't really paranormal but schizophrenia seems to be more common here than anywhere else. If it's off-topic, feel free to delete it, just didn't know where else to go to.
maybe
Can you elaborate, man? Like if you are, I mean. It would really help me out. Just give it to me straight, does it seem like I'm developing schizophrenia?

Does it help to be so worried? If it is imminent, I suggest you relax and concentrate on being emotionally stable. Worry when you start to hear voices
I heard a voice a few weeks ago. I guess I should have mentioned that. But it was just once and I may have just imagined it.
maybe not.
eat only real food and drink natural things. stop watching tv. stop listening industry music. take only cold showers. go in nature. go in sea. meditate. turn off wifi when you sleep. work out. take no pills yet unless these actions do not help. herbs like ashwaganda may help, buy on amazon or health store
You shouldn't worry if it's not recurrent
Alright, thanks.
I'll try those out. Thanks man.
Schizophrenia is the most popular self diagnosed illness among edgy people who try their hardest to feel unique. They claim that their symptoms are simply being able to see monsters, then they draw the monsters in an exaggerated way to make their condition seem SUPER SPOOPY to an audience. That is not schizophrenia fuckwads, that is having an IMAGINATION.
Genuine schizophrenia is terrifying.
Believe me, I don't want it. But like I said, it runs in my family. Whatever I have, it's scaring me already and I want it gone.
Some people are head-centered, others are heart-centered. One can become the other, although whatever you're born as is usually what people stick with. Heart centered people feel their experiences through their heart, then their mind. They react then think. Mind-centered people think, then act. This can lead to many things like anxiety, because one can overthink. And likewise, people who are heart-centered are more likely to be moved by an event.
Learn to relax your mind. Do not think. Only act. Be completely in that action.
I can try, though I don't see how this would help with my symptoms. But maybe that'll reveal itself I guess.
Schizophrenia is on a spectrum like everything else
When you head, stop your mind. Focus on how the food feels on your mouth, and how it tastes. When you do anything, do not put labels on yourself nor the object of your interaction.
This sounds like good advice so I'll try it. Thanks.
Perfect.
Genuinely debilitating conditions should be separated from mere quirks.
Someone who is shy, is interested in his hobbies, but otherwise functioning is very different from someone who is so severly autistic that he cannot take care of himself. These two people should NOT share the same label of 'autist'.
Just like how an artist who has a wild imagination and draws spooky things should NOT share the 'schizophrenic' label as someone who is genuinely losing his sanity.
Autism and other things can be remedied. Almost anything can. It just takes more work

Shrinks and people in the mental health industry are some of the most backstabbing, deceiving, manipulative fucks there is. Sure he's not going to tell you you are fucking nuts, he will just write it down on his little note pad what he really think but gives you just smiles and false empathy up front to extract more information from you to manipulate you into thinking you can trust them. They are the guards keeper social police that keeps the "crazy" people away from the "normal" people, a bunch of snitches and lairs, alienating the "crazy" people even further from society.

You sound like you're in a spiral of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The full-blown schizophrenics I knew all had in common that they had reached a certain point where they were fully identifying with their diagnosis (often before getting it diagnosed by a professional) as if it's explaining their very existence although it provided no constructive value to their various problems or any relief whatsoever. Which in fact even made things worse, also like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Every little instance of inner discomfort got interpreted by the lines of "ah that's my schizophrenia, and everyone knows there's nothing that can really help with schizophrenia, woe is me", thus fully succumbing to their new identities.
maybe focus a little less on the big S word and more on your issues themselves. there have been experiments that have shown that schizophrenia can be induced nonviolently in individuals who have no family history with it. so put that "but muh family!" line of thinking to rest for a while and work on whatever (like that breakup) has happened to you in it's own context. people with no proximity to schizophrenia can go through shitty times and develop weird stress related symptoms, too. Go and be nice to yourself, workout, eat well, live the life you want to, make peace with the stuff that happened to you. Don't buy into your own thoughts too much. Shift your focus to actions.
I mean you essentially have two options:
either
1. your going crazy and it can't be helped because schizophrenia
or
2. you believe you're going crazy and it can't be helped because schizophrenia
so really you have nothing to lose in trying to focus on something else.
Yeah, I try not to think about it, but when I have constant symptoms it's hard to think about anything else.
It won’t “fully emerge” if you start recovering now.
Learn about epistemology - you have no good evidence that God exists, let alone that God is trying to do anything to you. You are infering that because life is causing you suffering, God must be doing it, which is a total eap.
*leap
meaning, you haven’t covered the logical ground to reach this conclusion. you just jumped to it.
You can’t hide forever OP
We can see you...NYUCK NYUCK NYUCK
Guess it would help to have more information. What kind of lifestyle do you have, how does your average day look like, what's up with that traumatic breakup?
also, stop being a frogposter. robot culture is highly antisocial, and mentally disordered even compared to unsuccessful ‘normies’.
I honestly think being a frog will contribute to your schizophrenia.
I'm a hikkikimori NEET. The breakup was from a relationship that lasted about 5 years.
be careful what you wish for.
What in the flying fuck are you talking about?
unless you pulled that off google images, youre a frog poster. delete all of your frog pics and never talk to robots.
oh, and robots are r9k type people. r9k stands for robot 9000.
Yes you're probably scbizophrenic (im not a psychiatrist or therapist but i do have schizophrenia) Dont freak out and dont listen to delusions. I dont know why your psychiatrist only looked at you like you were crazy. He didn't offer help? You need to be very up front with him and tell him you believe you have schizophrenia. Dont let your delusions intrude while youre telling him. Just give him the facts and try and think like a person without schizpphrenia would think. Or how you would think before you had schizophrenia. If he asks you to elaborate on the delusions do so. I could be wrong remember I dont know shit but I do hope you get better
I see loads of schizophrenics operating without any hallucinations or outright delusions. Just like a non-schizoprenic, behaving in a mentally healthy way goes far to protect your mind and promote general wellbeing. I’d say listen to this guy’s advice.
I used to have delusions where I thought the TV was the Illuminati talking to me. I went insane and lost all of my friends basically. I'm good now and I managed to keep my cool completely. Just come up with thoughts that will act as small proofs that go against your delusions so that you can go back to those ideas and ground yourself to reality. I would recommend maybe working out or something to help relax your mind a bit. Chamomile tea helps too

>I'm a hikkikimori NEET. The breakup was from a relationship that lasted about 5 years.
I'd develop schizophrenia too if I were you. Ffs, you're living this life and wonder that ur getting weird symptoms and shit? No need to pull the schizophrenia card, everyone would lose his mind as that's fucking unnatural and crazy in itself. Can't even, sorry
No problem mate.
