life isn't over with a schizo diagnosis guys
we're gonna make it.
Schizophrenia positivity thread
So, what's it like?
Are the people who are delusional to the point where they deny they're schizo an extremely small percentage?
I don't like knowing how mentally ill I am. It makes me sad. It makes me know I'll never be able to have a normal life and a normal relationship.
DON'T FALL FOR THIS PSYCHIATRIC SHILL
HE IS WORKING FOR THE "HAPPY" PEOPLE DO NOT LET THEM CONTROL YOU
Did you sleep at all tonight?
My sister has horrible schizophrenia. I always struggle to understand her. Im trying to get her on a diet that could help her but she wont trust me. She spends all her money on stupid shit, cigs and booze. Shes really miserable and im pretty sure she would kill herself without the meds. Pls help advice
Can I give myself Schizophrenia if I wish hard enough
If she's given up, give up
Antipsychotics delete whatever person was there, it's literally what they're designed to do
People are astounded to find out that drugs meant to placate and tranquilize the most broken and violently impulsive people have the side effect of utterly ruining their brain chemistry and personhood
Really I'd just hope I could even still kill myself if I used that shit
>tfw read a study once that said that eastern schizos and schizos who don't live in modern society tend to have more positive hallucinations than people who live in western societies
I'll see if I can find it.
Schizo is 70% heritable. Good job no one on this board will breed.
I know, she hates antipsychotics too. She knows she becomes katatonic on them. She is now on a cocktail of bipolar, depression and anxiety meds.
The rare moments she is sober and grounded in reality you can see the sorrow in her eyes as she realizes what she is.
I don't wanna give up on her. We played through super mario bros world on snes every christmas as tradition.
Hardest hitting feel I know is when I realized that I cant remember what my sister used to be like.
Im so conflicted, I feel like she would be better off dead, but what if there's a chance for her schizophrenia to go to remission
I don't know, user. That's not really up to me to decide really nor you if you care about being liable for shit like assisted suicide
Personally God helps a lot. An objective outside arbiter that is both personally invested and beyond petty paranoid earthly plots can help to make it through life at least a little
The best you can really hope for though is her remaining delusional while treating everything as a leap of faith and racking up serious fucking anxiety and stress issues because of that
At least that's what I deal with but I'm not full blown (or rather am in constant denial of it) and that comment of not remembering who she was hits me hard
Thanks for sending some feels back mate, it's true. God can give alot to people without any direction or connection, my sister used to babble about god in the early days of her sickness. These days she just sees devils, ploys and traps everywhere.
I myself have a ~30% chance of developing schizo. They say schizophrenia triggers before hitting 30 if it does. Im 20 and my big sis was 23 when she got it. Bad lsd trip triggered it for her.
If I do get it, what does it feel like when you first notice the symptoms? How did you react?
I've heard voices in my head some times that talk to me. But only on psychedelics, never sober.
If you really don't want to become a schizo just stop fucking with psychedelics altogether. Seriously it is not worth the risk, even people who have a relatively low risk of schizophrenia can still develop schizo affective disorder from drugs. It's not worth it
This. I was once chad lite but thanks to a shit ton of acid trips in a condensed period of time I'm showing shizoaffective tendencies. Working on nipping them in the bud, it definitely takes time though. If you're gonna be fucking with psychedelics only do it once every 2-3+ months
One day in college literally approach everyone I know and ask them how are they doing.
Next day in college literally approach nobody. user approaches me. Yeah leave me the fuck alone.
ah-bloo-bloo

,,, this guy right here
this absolute poster
i sometimes tell people online i have schizophrenia. I don't, and I would not wish to have it in a million years. but it makes me feel ok about my weird pet peeves that are less like pet peeves and more like reasonless mental breakdown cues
I can't explain them so if I pretend like schizophrenia is the cause I feel better about it even if it's not even close
How do I get off the drugs? I'm on a CTO (community treatment order) and I need some advice. The Dr.s are holding onto this interpretation that I deteriorate quickly and become very sick even though in the last 10 years I've shown a huge amount of insight and even stopped believing in most of my illusions. My Dr. knows I'm intelligent, and I've finally been able to talk them down to a lower dose, but now what? I want off.
Delusions not illusions*
Try not taking the drugs
Schizo fembot here, i believe you guys can make it too
Over here on a CTO people have to watch me take them and if I don't the cops might escort me to a hospital where they could hold me for months if the doctor feels like it. I'd have to flee the city if not the province, but if I fled the province I might lose my disability bux.
It is if they throw it around as a punishment for jailtime as an example. They did it to me because I refused a marijuana deterrence initiative trial diversion course. the gender queers that run Houston seem to have a very crippled understanding about how to maintain their survival as individuals while simultaneously willing themselves toward politics in some self-enlightenment effort. It all started for me with a misplaced compassion for my lack of sexual attention. even the police that Proclaim themselves as sociopathic in their experience will ship you off to outpatient to deal with sexual frustration, and yet they still only feed you to other self-proclaimed sociopaths in their experience, a big reason why my diagnosis didn't stick is because of my affiliation with real government, having family of both sides highly involved. there's something offencive anyway about submitting to the idea that any of your past Lays whom you are not married with turn out to be a literal whores, such that anybody watching you or observing you at least down here in the south play a game literally called Pride politics where we see what the whore does in a situation she shouldn't be in. but but I didn't know, the weather makes me a sociopath because I have acute autism. I want compassion I just work for the government. it's all so gay and inappropriate.
bipolar user here. recently read an article about how ketogenic diets made schizophrenia go in total remission without meds in a handful of patients. maybe try getting on a keto diet schizoanons.
keep hope alive.

you guys are crazy and a threat to others safety.
my schizo sister nearly killed me twice before we had her permanently committed.
I'm talking to a girl online and she has schizophrenia. She's really into me but I've listened to her while she's having delusions and it scares me desu. Is a loving relationship possible?
Schizophrenia pretty much destroyed any semblance of a life that I built up until getting psychotic for the first time.
Gave me lot of haunting cringey memories too, only that I don't really blame myself for it, cause yeah.. it's schizo.
To be positive about it schizo also helped in making me a better person in many ways. It sure as fuck made me more self reflective, I question myself a lot in the hopes of catching early warning signs of another delusion. It thought me that I can't completely trust myself and my judgement, but this goes for everyone, only that some are more and some less conscious of the fact. As in, my thoughts, feeling, experience, not necessarily equals truth. Psychosis really teaches you that on a profound level. I'd also say it made me more emphatic, I don't look down on anyone anymore. I was a pretty big asshole before psychosis now that I think about it..
I could list other perks, but I don't want to romanticise the condition too much, it's of course foremost a huge pain in the ass and a terrible illness, but yeah, take the meds and life goes on.
any anons here on disablity bux?
i calculated my expected payout, between ssi, ssdi, food stamps and maybe getting a subsidized apartment on top of it all it seems i'm looking at $3500 a month in benefits. having had basically zero income in the last five years i basically consider this hitting the lottery.
doesn't seem like too bad of an idea at all but i'm pretty sure i'd deteriorate very quickly left to my own devices in an apartment of my own with more money than i know what to do with.

what did he mean by this????????????????
whatdidhemeanbythisblox
on schizo bux too, from a rich country so I get about 4k$ monthly everything included.
if you like doing whatever you want whenever you want and don't get bored with basically doing nothing all day long, it's a golden ticket.
>i'm looking at $3500 a month
WTF, that's more than I make with a full time job. How do I get schizophrenia?
it's not straight cash i would be getting. it's just total amount of benefits combined.
$700 a month ssi
$200 a month in food stamps (this number might actually be much lower, i may be overestimating it that now that i think of it, it may actually be closer to $120/month)
$1400 ssdi (you need to have a work history to get this, more work history the higher it can be)
$1200 a month apartment subsidized meaning you have to either pay 20% of it or 25% from the aformentioned cash benefits you receive and you'll most likely be living in some ghetto shithole crawling with belligerent niggers
either way it's truthfully not that much, and you don't want to actually have schizophrenia or any kind of severe mental illness regardless, trust me fren
Did I say something wrong user?
Prove it dude. Keto has been around since cavemen. It's called 0 sugar stimulants and at least Jamaica kept the shadow people commodified .
Why do delusions scare you? Just turn that part of your instincts that makes you afraid of weird people off. How the fuck can you even stand this place if you haven't turned that off already?
what the fuck? you don't get both SSI and SSDI unless your SSDI is less of what the maximum of SSI is you moron. Last time I checked it was like $733, but it raises a bit every year. Also, food stamps are usually based on how much money you have left after paying necessary bills like rent.
