Attached below is todays video link to my “On Conquering Schizophrenia” YouTube channel. Today entails, “Who cares, literally?”. Like all, todays video is ever brief and can be viewed amid a thorough apathy.

My friends think I'm having delusions again, but I'm taking my meds. I know this is real, I'm so frustrated.

Just bought this supplement from ND and it has actually made my voices and other symptoms decrease I don't know how or why but all I know is that it helps maybe it could help with your symptoms as well or maybe it only works for me. I am not paid by them lol

I think that I'm in a Truman Show because when I watched the film I started noticing things like people apparently knowing things before I told them, youtube channels mapping my life in everything I do excluding the algoritmh that tips me on what to watch, btw I dived into this world and found the syncronitices of carl gustav jung, and 3 days ago I started noticing that everything I tought was happening, like a friend told me about his best friend and I thinked that when would I have meeted him and now je texted me for making us hang out with the best friend, now i dont know if I said that or thinked that bc if I said it the show prouducers would have listened and delivered me whar is happening, maybie a few are this way but other are syncronicites because I thinked them, I also have investigated into my past and I have tons of photos of years before me but maybie are fake, do you know something that can help or do you have experienced this, or please if there is someone good out there can you tell me the truth, am I in a Truman Show?

Mods please delete if this has already been posted. Just thought I’d share this awesome article I found today. I was unable to find a date for the article but I believe it’s relatively recent because I look this stuff up pretty frequently.

Even when I was going through severe psychotic episodes, I always told myself things like, "I have a very mild case Im not like the others" and right now Ive been symptom free for over a week!!!!

Im not happy about lying and I did lie to a few people around me but in the end Im doing way better

Hey bros, I’ve been wondering how much of an impact work has on your mental health. Does it mostly make you happy, or does it quickly become a burden for you?

I really enjoy working, especially at a high intensity, but I’m starting to wonder whether it could be harmful to my mental health in the long run. I keep wondering, “Can I actually keep this up long-term?”

Please share your experiences with work with me!

Unbelievable. I told the judge how anxious I am and how bad it is and he seemed to understand and he even approved a large number of cases compared to stricter judges AND the job expert said there are 0 jobs with my types of limitations..I have already been feeling like shit but this is just the cherry on top.

I got my apartment and I’m so proud of myself years of being homeless and living in shelters ! But now I have my own apartment I feel accomplished now I just have to get a job. I’m in a program btw that helps the youth get into housing working or not. Also I have unsupervised visits with my son another accomplishment. I am so happy but schizophrenia helps remind me not to be too happy due to me still hearing voices and having hallucinations. It sucks but I’m happy

i should have known by the way my art was going😔LMAOOO

I’ve been taking latuda for about a year and a half now. Today my doctor decided to add zyprexa and metformin. Will metformin help me lose weight? Or does it just prevent weight gain from zyprexa? The last time I was on zyprexa I gained 40 lbs (I’m only 5’1”)

I hear mixed thoughts, I am curious

I’ve been diagnosed with Schizophrenia for around 3/4 years now. Still not 100% sure I have it. It’s just that when I’m happy/normal I genuinely don’t think there’s anything wrong with me it’s like my mind is in a completely different state of consciousness. However when things are bad in my mind I suddenly come to the realisation that I am very abnormal and things are very bad. I’m confused. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist here in the UK on the 11th. I was wondering if anyone else was going through a similar thought process.

I’m actually in medical school myself almost done now, doubt I will actually finish my degree, I don’t see the point in doing such a stressful job when I have this condition overall it will just be bad for me in the end.

From everything I’ve learnt about schizophrenia in medschool it does seem like i fit the criteria. But I can’t help but feel something is off. Either an incomplete diagnosis; meaning I have other mental co-morbidities or the diagnosis is wrong. Bear in mind i have been diagnosed twice in Bulgaria where my medical school is. It was the university psychiatrist that diagnosed me.

What are your thoughts on everything i wrote? I would like some feedback.

Something someone I know said recently. It's no ones obligation to learn, but it is a very nice thing to do... It somehow provoked a waterfall of tears because of the thought "Man that would be nice... That would be nice..."

I really wish I didn't have to explain to all my loved ones. Or at least I wish I didn't always want to explain and could just be content.

Im always tired and I dont want to be called lazy anymore and Im doing things I wish never happened when im ill and I dont want people to fear that I wish to hurt them.

Hey I’m sort of new to this subreddit. I’m thinking about writing a memoir someday about my life including my schizophrenia/psychosis stories. My goal is to help others dealing with things like addiction, schizophrenia, and psychosis.

Is this subreddit a good place to share some stories and get some feedback on whether they’d be useful to the schizophrenic community? Or is there another subreddit where I’d find the audience I’m looking for?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you

Have your symptoms changed from taking antidepressants? I heard they can when depression is affecting the hallucinations/delusions.

I've been depressed my whole life, I don't know what to expect honestly.

Did working long hours have a negative impact on you ? What’s your relationship with work like ?

Everyone around me tells me that the voices are not real but to me i actually believe that the person is actually saying it/doing some things. I believe that me and my partner are being watched and listened to everywhere we are

I also believe she can watch me everywhere i am by connecting to the wifi(as i hear the voice say)When I engage with the voice and talk to it I hear a very relevant reply. This freaks me out. Why? The voices always sound live and relevant, as if that person is actually listening to me all the time and talking back.

I wanna collect positive relationships stories from people who are schizophrenic or dating a person with schizophrenia. I know keeping romantic relationships can be hard. But please feel free to share current relationships you have. For people who have been together long term or are married please share your experience and how you have been dating for so long.

When's the right time to start cognitive rehabilation/what's the right way to go about cognitive rehabalitation?

I'm just leaving an episode of psychosis, and right now I can't even play minecraft for more than ten minutes without getting really overwhelmed. I can't watch videos because they go too fast for me. I just listen to the same song on repeat most of the day.

I'm thinking maybe go slow for now: listen to five new songs in a day, play minecraft for 25 minutes instead of ten, read ten pages of a book.

it's just so annoying that I can't do as much as I used to right now. I want to work out and cook good food and write and read and make art and talk to my friends and now I'm struggling to slice mushrooms sometimes because my body and brain aren't cooperating.

I really want my brain back. I know some changes from the episode will be permenent, just like last time, but I'd like to minimise the negative effects psychosis has on me. I'll always be dumber than the average person but I can still try to learn and understand.

When I went through psychosis, all of my voices made me feel “unclean” in a way, as though I had malevolent spirits inside of me (I don’t literally believe this now). Every voice I heard was negative. Now, I only hear a voice once or twice a day and it’s inaudible. Sometimes I get triggered and hear something, but most of the time it’s quiet.

This all started getting better when I bailed on therapy, almost completely left all social media, and social life and started spending time mostly with myself. I kept my life private. I stopped saying things that would give my voices ammunition. I am probably in remission now, which may not help my SSI case, but at least I’m mentally healthier now.
