I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with schizophrenia. Spent my whole life fighting schizophrenia. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly, 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I'm so very happy for you, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
I had a cat when I was a kid. It used to stay on top of my closet and only came down at night. I remember I was always kinda scared of the cat, especially since I knew we didn't have a cat. I was the only one who could see it. That's when I decided to keep my mouth shut, never talk about what I saw or heard. I was 5-6 years old then, and knew something was wrong with me. I had tried talking to a Dr, but I obviously had a active imagination.. The fact that I couldn't sleep, I just had to be patient and wait for it to get better by itself. It never did, but didn't go back to the Dr before I was 32 years old. They found out I had schizoaffective bipolar disorder.
I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder but found out I have the MTHFR mutation causing methylation issues. All of my symptoms including depression, anxiety and extreme mood swings along with the schizo stuff is kept in check by using NAC and methylfolate which is what my body desperately needed to function. If you haven't been checked for MTHFR I can't stress enough how important it is to find out. It's been linked to schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. It's because our bodies aren't able to process folate and we don't make enough glutathione to help us process oxidative stress and toxins so we have to supplement them daily. Learning about this changed EVERYTHING for me!!
You hit the nail on the head with this video. I have Schizoaffective Disorder (Bi-Polar type). I saw a therapist for the first time today. My auditory hallucinations come in the form of faint whispers -- whispers that 'narrate' *everything* I'm doing. I used to think my house was haunted... I've had *numerous* delusions against friends & family -- accusing them of everything from planting "spytools" in my router, to thinking cameras were put in my wall. It all became the norm for me.. Just awful delusions in hindsight..
When I was 8 and living with my mother, a single parent, I couldn't go to sleep because I heard a man snoring, The snoring got louder and louder until it was scary. So I went into my mother's room and asked to sleep with her. That calmed me down but I wouldn't stay still so she told me to go back to my room. What a horrible night that was! I kept hearing music in my head and I couldn't stop it; I'd lost control.
I was raised by a violent, dangerous schizophrenic, who was a monster. He was institutionalized. My movie and church buddy over the past few years is also schizophrenic. He has the personality of a gentle, friendly puppy, and is frequently the only person I can really talk to. However, he does have an occasional uncontrollable panic attack. These two people could not be more different, but they do have this terrible disease in common. As a retired critical care nurse I'm the first to admit that psychiatry is not my wheelhouse. But it seems to me that precious little has been done over my lifetime to help victims of this life-robbing disease. What progress has been made seems to be in behavior management with medications. I'm grateful for this, but nobody talks about etiology. Nobody dreams of prevention. Why is that? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for bravely stepping forward with your story . God bless you.
Where are you looking for information? I was curious, being a developmental psychologist, and in about 4 seconds I found one study involving international data from 2006 (from the journal “Schizophrenia Research,” *volume 76* [issue 2-3]: pages 135-57) and one in the US from 2019 (from the journal “Current Opinion in Psychiatry,” *volume 32* [issue 5]: pages 402-408) involving the terrible effect of cigarette smoking on the cognition of schizophrenics, as a greatly watered down summary. You could have looked schizophrenia up in Wikipedia, especially in the reference section at the end of the article. In doing some further brief searching, I found many recent article as and also many over the past decade which indicates to me that there is a great deal of research going on. The person to ask about your friend’s issues is his psychiatrist, if he gives you permission to talk about it. If he has an open social services case, you could go that route, or even refer him for social services. Now I have a question: Why is it that so many people write comments like, “Nobody’s doing anything,” when the most accurate question _should_ be: Why did I not turn to the internet for answers? It really gives a terrible impression about the psychological/psychiatric communities, and is therefore really irresponsible! There are also state support agencies for different medical and psychiatric diagnoses, which can also be found on the internet.
@voraciousreader3341 going on the internet was the first thing I did found great resources but we did not live in an area where my child would qualify for services. We live in a smaller community where resources for people living with schizophrenic disorders only have the option of medication WITHOUT additional support. I think this is why people ask why is no one doing anything? I asked this of our local mental health services and the only answer I got was that there were not enough resources aka funding. My child wants help but when you live in an area without resources or very limited ones what else can be done? I am dreading the day when they age out of my insurance because their current resources I was able to piece together will dry out and they will have to go to county services who are wholly underfunded.
I want to thank you for making this video and for showing people that even with this disorder you can still be a likeable and well communicating person. It's going to take an army of people as brave as you talking about this so people finally get it that people with a brain disorder are not villains but normal people who are not neurotypical. It's the only way society will stop stigmatizing and villainizing people dealing with cognitive and mood issues and maybe, hopefully, the mental health situation (which is very broken in the US) can improve and more people can get help instead of made homeless or imprisoned.
I think these people are in-tune with their past experiences being re-lived so to speak. Who knows 100%. It could be another dimension they are partially still connected to. My mother and I went through a phase where when we shut our eyes to go to sleep and photos of the past, very old photos rolled before our eyes one after another in frames. Photos of native American's, people from other countries, no different than walking through a museum with old photo's of people. Completely detailed. When I mentioned this to my Mom she said I have had the same thing happen to me and realized it happened to us at the same time. It was actually cool. Lasted for about 3 days.

I was diagnosed at 18 a year after my episode at 17 with Schizoaffective disorder... I was not in therapy at the time... I don't know how I survived it despite it being fairly mild. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤❤ I talk about mine openly as well to help others understand what it can look like mildly as well.
This is a nice in-depth video about what the beginning of schizoaffective can start as. For me, I had visuals first at the age of 7 and then the bipolar stuff came later on. Glad you are making these videos!
Thank you for sharing your story. I printed pictures of the ugly men and women or demons. When I heard the voices telling me how ugly I am, I just looked at the picture. It changed my life, it helps. Whatever it is, I didn't want to hear it. Why would I want to listen to someone who is ugly and a monster. The voices are attacking all of us. We are not crazy.
My son switched from ritalin to aderal at the age of 18 and within 3 weeks, had a schizophrenic break and never recovered. He remains hospitalized to this day, nearly 20 years later. 3 weeks on aderal...poof! Permanent brain damage.
Hi, sorry I don't know your name. I really wanted to reply to your comment. first of all what age was your son when he was on Adderall, I think you said for 3 weeks? The next thing I want to ask you is are you aware that most Boys get schizophrenia or the beginning of it around the ages of 18 to 23 that's normally the first start of the illness between those ages. The reason why I'm asking is who told you That the Adderall caused him to have a schizophrenic break? Again he was what age when he had this horrific break? From what you said he has been Hospitalized ever since? This is shattering. Also I for got to mention a large percentage of boys 18 -23 have their first Symptoms after using magic mushrooms or acid or hallucinogens. The Schizophrenia was dormant and after a drug high it starts. I am shocked that Adderall would CAUSE Schizophrenia. I have been on Adderall Since 2004. I am in the mental heath field and your story really touched me. I am so sorry for your son and you. Bless you.
@@tonimarie6270 Adderall is still available because it is a very effective medication for treating ADHD and Narcolepsy. It saddens me to hear about this woman's son but, the reality is, if it helps billions of people achieve success with their lives that without treatment with medication would have been difficult, the benefit outweigh the risks. That being said, side effects do occur and patients should be closely monitored at the beginning of treatment.
My daughter was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type when she was 20. At first she refused treatment of any kind, then accepted treatment after the birth of her daughter at the age of 22. Then rejected treatment again in 2013, when her daughter was 6. My daughter is now 38 and her 16 year old daughter is under my care. My daughter is a lost soul somewhere I don’t know where. A few times a year, I receive an email from her that’s full of word salad. The hardest thing a parent has to do is mourn the loss of a child that is still alive.
I was diagnosed of having schizophrenia and psychosocial disability. By having medication and thru the advice of a neurologist and psychiatrist, I was informed that my disease is biological in nature that there is too much production of dopamine cells in my left brain hemisphere. It turned out that my addictive habits of impurity and too much self indulgence to pleasures are the causes of my sicknesses. But through God's word and the Bible and by having my suitable medications I live a very normal and useful Life. Thank God for helping me
Thank you so much for sharing! I was diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar time back in 2021 at the age of 21. Me and my new doctor think it might actually be bipolar with psychotic features but I spent almost two years believing it's schizoaffective and it might still be
Indeed you’re the most beautiful human being on earth and your kindness to explain your illness is natural. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart
Thank you for sharing ur most intimate and scary moments of ur life. That's take so much courage to do and u did it so well. Meaning I wouod have broke down telling the story. But u have been so string I'm so glad u had ur mother along with ur journey thru. And u finally gotten the closure of just knowing what it is to manage and cope with it.
My son is diagnosed with sczoaffective disorder I have no support from family.Im sick as well.This is the hardest illness I’ve seen more needs to be done plus awareness.
First of all, you are so brave and courageous to share your story. I recently went through the strangest thing with my 10 year old. The past year, he became ill. He was seeming run down and fatigued. He then got strep throat and after that, everything changed. He was having panic attacks and started to hear things. Long story short, I was getting no where with my regular doctors. I took him to a naturalpathic dr and they did a Lyme test. There were a few bands of lyme, but I guess according to most doctors it would be a negative result. I wasn't understanding why & had heard from a family friend of a doctor who specializes in tick-borne disease. Turns out, my son had three bacteria hiding out in his blood, one called Bartonella. It can be spread from fleas, spiders, sand flies, etc...The more I read about this, I realize that it can cause so many autoimmune responses, systemic responses, and psychiatric responses including schizophrenia. It is also curable!!! The sad part is that finding a doctor who acknowledges these things and/or will send the labwork out where the test are done correctly seems to be very hard. I feel so lucky to have heard of this doctor. I feel that so many people are given a diagnosis and given treatment for things without finding the why behind the symptoms 😢 I am no doctor, so I don't know much...but from the little I learned, I feel there is more to be studied to help people with cures rather than just symptoms. I admire the courage I see in videos like this and pray for healing. Anyone from schizophrenia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, etc should look into this type of thing. The crazy part is I read that studies are showing that some of these bacteria can be passed to baby while pregnant. Seems like these things can also lay dormant, your immune system constantly keeping the bacteria "under control" until the body gets stressed due to illness and/or stressors when it causes autoimmune flare-ups, even in the brain. Like I said, I don't know much, but I can't help to wonder if there is a cure for more things than we realize! Until there is more knowledge, I wish you the best and thank you for the hope you give to others ❤
My dad and sister are diagnosed and in the past couple years I've had some symptoms that come and go. I recently had a flare up of hashimotos I haven't treated since I was 15 and learned there's a connection. So if anyone else has a family history of either it might be a good idea to get a metabolic panel and get your hormones checked
I've had schizophrenia since i was a little kid. I didn't know that i was having delusions or hallucinations until i was much older because i have been just living with it. I got bipolar after i had my daughter from not sleeping for days on end. Then my psychiatrist put me on Adderall for adhd and put me into psychosis that never really went away. I'm on meds now and feeling great. Still having hallucinations but they aren't nearly as bad and less delusional thinking.
Well I guess I'm not the only one with this problem... If I told you my story you would be one of the people that actually really understand what I'm going through. Stay strong. Peace
Bipolar I here. I have been on lithium for 46 years. The importance of taking meds cannot be over emphasized. Not a cure, but a great relief. Mania still occurs with stress. Knowing this helps immensely. Hang in there and read everything you can about your illness. God bless.
I have had schizoaffective disorder since I was 21. I rarely have auditory hallucinations. Mostly I have different threads of thoughts with their own tone. I tend to feel I am connected to another world. To the point that I feel like this world is not very real. And when life gets tough I long to escape to the other world. I’m trying to hold down a job right now and it requires a lot of acting. I might be hearing things but I can’t show it. I keep getting confused as to what day it is and I feel like I have to try to do a simple task 10 times to get it done. I’m really tired.
I was diagnosed in a mental hospital with schizoaffective disorder at the age of 25 going on 26 and had just given birth to my first child. I was made to spend 2 long months away from my newborn so the bonding period was lost 😢
That's really evil of a doctor NOT to warn a person about the symptoms you might start to feel and when to reach out for help. A peer supports worker would be so helpful for those with mental health issues.
I'm 52 years old I've been schizoaffective since I been 19 years old and I was like later in life misdiagnosed for along time until just since end Sept or beginning of October 😮 it's been a long ride in the weird feeling that I have been doing this for years and now I'm trying to make sense of what it is really going on in this an what's going on with me right now I just want to feel better soon!!!!
I remember in college in our one classes we were discussing mental illnesses and we went in-depth about schizophrenia and I remember thinking THANK GOD I’m not dealing with that. That year I started my journey with schizoaffective disorder Bipolar type. Started with depression and anxiety and the symptoms and diagnosis kept evolving. Felt lost for a long time! What can I say it comes in waves and if you know you know 🫠
I’m glad you finally found out, and that you stayed with it until you and your practitioner figured it out! People like to think psychology and psychiatry diagnoses are easy-I can’t count how many times I’ve read people calling others narcissists and psychopaths in comments sections of videos, to the point that I sometimes wonder why I bothered to go to school!-but it is a very difficult, sophisticated process. Symptoms can greatly overlap between disorders, so the practitioner has to rely on patient self report and reduces or increased symptoms or difficulties, so getting to the correct diagnosis for each patient can take awhile. Then, where there is symptom overlap reported by the patient, the process of finding the right medication(s) and the right dosage(s) is often going on at the same time. I’m hoping all is going well with you!
The thing that hurt me most about being bipolar II was that my psychiatrist never gave me my diagnosis. Why not? Why not speak it! Let’s take care of this but first I need to know WHAT AM I DEALING WITH? But no. “IT” was never verbalized, never mentioned. So I thought I was just screwed up. As a RN, I went searching for an answer and found it. Took steps to treat it, monitor “IT” and learn to live a meaningful life. But it took ME to take control and guide my therapy 2:01
Sorry! I simply do not believe it! I’m a psychologist myself, and since the whole point of consulting a mental health practitioner is to determine whether or not there is a psychological diagnosis, I cannot even imagine that this was not shared with you! If you really believe this happened, why on Earth did you not contact your State Medical Board?? You’re a nurse, so this would be an entity you have to update your credentials with!
Thank you for sharing that pricetag on the horse’s hoof, thinking you saw that with white residue example, especially. I am an MSW student and have read about schizophrenia and watched “Living Well with Schizophrenia” some, and, did not understand the connections aspect and/combination with disorganization. It seems like the brain has trouble sorting stimuli so makes connections and impacts logical understanding of or interrupts, wondering/thinking that is a psychotic feature but still not sure where that line is, and, thank you so much for sharing! This really helps me understand more ❤️ Hug! You are awesome! ,
Hey I'm a new subscriber and I have schizoaffective disorder depressive type as well. I've been diagnosed for about 10 years and this year it's just I'm on on The struggle bus
How is diagnosed at the age of five of schizoaffective depressive type❤ and then they redid the test again when I was 15 and another one when I was 21 and each time they did it came back schizoaffective depressive type
Cognitive symptoms are actually the most disabling symptoms of schizophrenia and they cannot be treated. Too bad you weren’t educated on what was going on in that regard. :( Most people only think of positive and negative symptoms if they even know what schizophrenia is. Struggling with cognitive symptoms fueled my paranoia.
Thank you! Several months before the onset, my mom had a cardiac event and I took her to the ER and took care of the house alone while she was in the hospital for several days. When she came home, she was on bed rest for quite a while. When she was cleared to go back to work full time and I didn't have to take care of her, my dog, and the house anymore, my mental health declined rapidly. I've always been one of those people who pushes through tough situations then falls into low place when they're over, but that time was so much worse
I was just recently diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. A lot of the things that you mentioned that happened to you, happened to me as well. I grew up in a Christian home, so all these things I was experiencing was explained away as being an attack from the Devil. So, I thought it was normal in a way. 🤦🏾♀️
Me too! I’ve had so many people pray for me from this perspective. It is really confusing. Because I know in the Bible God cast out demons. But how does that explain why medicine helps be think better?
Why don’t any of us in mental health take a look at haunting? Demons? Ghosts? I’ve seen things in my practice that led me to believe there’s a line- seldom but sometimes- where it cannot hurt to look at what we see as mental health affliction as maybe someone. Not often is this something I feel is outside the ‘physical reahlm’ and it’s too hard to state here what I mean clearly in the context stated here.
That's because most people drank the Darwinian kool-aid and refuse to allow for the possibility of God's existence (having an a priori commitment to materialism) and, therefore, supernatural/paranormal entities. I've experienced such things from childhood and reject the 'educated' explanations like 'hallucinations', etc. One only needs to study Demonology and discover the countless documented cases of demonic possession, out of body experiences and the like. The movie The Exorcist was based on a true story, albeit a boy rather than a girl. The real folly is believing the natural world is all that exists while readily believing that life exists on other planets, which is essentially invoking the existence of supernatural beings to explain away the existence of God of the Bible ... a supernatural being. Go figure. One must be anti-science and anti-logic/reason to accept such arrant nonsense like 'evolution', which is a hypothesis on history based on unprovable assumptions. One only needs to contemplate why a material universe obeys immaterial laws; the answer leads us to God. The Christian worldview is the only worldview that can account for the existence of the universe. Science strongly supports the Biblical narrative.
Consider reading T̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶v̶i̶l̶ ̶A̶n̶d̶ ̶K̶a̶r̶e̶n̶ ̶K̶i̶n̶g̶s̶t̶o̶n̶, a true, documented case that will rock your world, so to speak. Amazon had it on kindle but strangely (and most annoyingly) removed it, although one can still obtain a hard copy. God bless you richly.
@@garethwest9069 thx, I’ll order it asap! I think, based on my observations and what is happening everywhere in today’s world, that book is removed BECAUSE it prob speaks too much truth. I’m grabbing classic literature, old history books, polisci books and all the stuff that most likely will disappear or be ‘rewritten’ in our increasingly dystopian times. Fortunately I started creating a library over 20 years ago. This yr I gave away the junk books that are entertainment and great for the psych units I work in. They need light reading since there is literally NOTHING for them to do. I’m now keeping classic literature, any important books (sounds like this might b one!) biographical stuff etc.. also holy books, esp Bibles and books related to the Bible of importance. Thank you! If u think of another book plz let me know
That is a really good question. SSRI's, that are the most common medication to treat depression, do have side effects. However psychosis or hallucination is extremely rare though not impossible.
@@sgregg5257 Thanks ! as a psyconaut that has travelled to the deep interior you soon learn that consiousness is very multilayered, personally I think giving medication to people that dont understand this and are in a delicate state is probably one of modern medicines biggest mistakes and will prove so in the future.
You want to live in a happy, jolly reality. Happy, giggling. everything's funny. When is the last time you laughed till you cried? If the answer is not today, something's wrong. You should be laughing till you cry, till you piss your pants everyday. For real. Piss your pants. Laughing. Daily.
Get your thyroid checked by an endocrinologist. Blood tests will do it. Someone close to me developed schizoaffect disorder when he stopped taking his thyroid medicine. This happened twice, several years apart, when he had stopped taking his Synthroid, effectively making him hypothyroid. He was medicated with psychiatric medication after it showed up and after starting up his Synthroid medicine again, he eventually returned to normal. It might have taken 1-2 months. He was 18 the first time. If you can't get a referral to an endocrinologist, beg, borrow or steal the money to pay out of pocket for the endocrinologist visit.
Test for Hashimoto antibodies. It can go unnoticed for years. I reccomend Brain energy, book by dr. Palmer, mental diseases are metabolic diseases of the brain, mitochondrial disfunction. GAPS diet for better metabolism. Malnutrition and body toxicity influence the brain.
Thank you very much for sharing your story. I have been on off on schizophrenia medication and hear voices 24x7. Did auditory hallucations go away completely for you on medication?
It took several tries to get the medication right and then I still had to be on the right meds for me for quite a while before they went away, but they finally did
at the start this lovely girl explains how she was on meds for depression & anxiety, a common factor in adolescent kids especially with a hormone imbalance, would be interesting to know what meds she was put on & their side affects & also if any vaccinations were given around that time. the symptoms that followed could quite easily be caused by sleep deprivation, would like to hear more of her story ❤
Bloodwork is _always_ done by reputable psychological and psychiatric health care providers, and in the case of some medications (but not for anxiety or depression) this has to be done at every or every other visit to check for side effects. Knowing what this woman was taking would not really be helpful, because side effects are general but experiences are individual and cannot be recognized until the patient takes the medication; how this woman responded to one medication typically wouldn’t necessarily be true in other patients. Dosages are always lowest recommended by age and are increased over time, if needed. Suspicions about hormone imbalances have to be checked by an endocrinologist, gynecologist, urologist, or integrative medicine practitioner, because psychiatrists aren’t qualified to make those decisions; however, since hormonal changes are typical in adolescents, something would have to be seriously wrong to be an emotional factor. Parents can still have that checked if they’re concerned. Vaccinations have no correlation to risk factors for any psychological disorder in the DSM 5, or they would have been outlawed. The flap about vaccinations “causing” autism was just plain wrong based on several decades of intensive research, and since I’m a developmental psychologist I know quite a lot about it.

I recommend you use psychedelic mushroom, it will help you greatly, I used it and it changed my thought process patterns to a positive one , you can heal , I got it from an online vendor that specializes on psychedelics trades and safe use
lol it started with a laugh. 😂 oh okay I thought it was just laughing at something. I have no clue why the psychiatrist diagnosed me with this when I don’t have it.
schizoaffective can someone go without any type treatment for years at all after being diagnosed as schizoaffective & can they live a normal life ?????
I am able to drive - my medication doesn't prevent that, though there used to be times with a previous medication where I was too drowsy to drive occasionally. I am not considered incapacitated. Disabled, but not incapacitated. And I do have a job. I work full time for a university as a project coordinator. Medication has never been an issue for me when it comes to having a job, though my symptoms made it hard to work several years ago in a previous job.
That’s not necessarily true. It would be amazing if it were that easy. I had my blood tested for B12 and my levels were high. People need to talk to their doctor about B12 rather than assume it is a cure.

All of my symptoms including depression, anxiety and extreme mood swings along with the schizo stuff is kept in check by using NAC and methylfolate which is what my body desperately needed to function. If you haven't been checked for MTHFR I can't stress enough how important it is to find out. It's been linked to schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. It's because our bodies aren't able to process folate and we don't make enough glutathione to help us process oxidative stress and toxins so we have to supplement them daily. Learning about this changed EVERYTHING for me!!
May I ask how much NAC you use, and your source and dose of methylfolate?
I started using NAC with my daughter and her psychosis is clearing. I’m going to get her checked for this mutation.
Good luck mate
You hit the nail on the head with this video. I have Schizoaffective Disorder (Bi-Polar type). I saw a therapist for the first time today. My auditory hallucinations come in the form of faint whispers -- whispers that 'narrate' *everything* I'm doing. I used to think my house was haunted... I've had *numerous* delusions against friends & family -- accusing them of everything from planting "spytools" in my router, to thinking cameras were put in my wall. It all became the norm for me.. Just awful delusions in hindsight..
I just got diagnosed with Schizoaffective Bipolar type. I hope you continue making these video they are helpful. It takes courage to share your story.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad they are helpful!

When I was 8 and living with my mother, a single parent, I couldn't go to sleep because I heard a man snoring, The snoring got louder and louder until it was scary. So I went into my mother's room and asked to sleep with her. That calmed me down but I wouldn't stay still so she told me to go back to my room. What a horrible night that was! I kept hearing music in my head and I couldn't stop it; I'd lost control.
I hope you're doing alright now
I was raised by a violent, dangerous schizophrenic, who was a monster. He was institutionalized. My movie and church buddy over the past few years is also schizophrenic. He has the personality of a gentle, friendly puppy, and is frequently the only person I can really talk to. However, he does have an occasional uncontrollable panic attack. These two people could not be more different, but they do have this terrible disease in common. As a retired critical care nurse I'm the first to admit that psychiatry is not my wheelhouse. But it seems to me that precious little has been done over my lifetime to help victims of this life-robbing disease. What progress has been made seems to be in behavior management with medications. I'm grateful for this, but nobody talks about etiology. Nobody dreams of prevention. Why is that? I would love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for bravely stepping forward with your story . God bless you.
Where are you looking for information? I was curious, being a developmental psychologist, and in about 4 seconds I found one study involving international data from 2006 (from the journal “Schizophrenia Research,” *volume 76* [issue 2-3]: pages 135-57) and one in the US from 2019 (from the journal “Current Opinion in Psychiatry,” *volume 32* [issue 5]: pages 402-408) involving the terrible effect of cigarette smoking on the cognition of schizophrenics, as a greatly watered down summary. You could have looked schizophrenia up in Wikipedia, especially in the reference section at the end of the article. In doing some further brief searching, I found many recent article as and also many over the past decade which indicates to me that there is a great deal of research going on. The person to ask about your friend’s issues is his psychiatrist, if he gives you permission to talk about it. If he has an open social services case, you could go that route, or even refer him for social services. Now I have a question: Why is it that so many people write comments like, “Nobody’s doing anything,” when the most accurate question _should_ be: Why did I not turn to the internet for answers? It really gives a terrible impression about the psychological/psychiatric communities, and is therefore really irresponsible! There are also state support agencies for different medical and psychiatric diagnoses, which can also be found on the internet.
@voraciousreader3341 going on the internet was the first thing I did found great resources but we did not live in an area where my child would qualify for services. We live in a smaller community where resources for people living with schizophrenic disorders only have the option of medication WITHOUT additional support. I think this is why people ask why is no one doing anything? I asked this of our local mental health services and the only answer I got was that there were not enough resources aka funding.
My child wants help but when you live in an area without resources or very limited ones what else can be done? I am dreading the day when they age out of my insurance because their current resources I was able to piece together will dry out and they will have to go to county services who are wholly underfunded.
I want to thank you for making this video and for showing people that even with this disorder you can still be a likeable and well communicating person. It's going to take an army of people as brave as you talking about this so people finally get it that people with a brain disorder are not villains but normal people who are not neurotypical. It's the only way society will stop stigmatizing and villainizing people dealing with cognitive and mood issues and maybe, hopefully, the mental health situation (which is very broken in the US) can improve and more people can get help instead of made homeless or imprisoned.
My mum has it too. It's so sad because it's not something you can control. You just gotta hope your family/friends can help and support you.
I just learned I have Schizo-affective disorder. I have had problems for years, I hope it gets better.
I've had it for over 20 years. If you minimize the stress in your life and find the right meds, life is doable but keeping jobs is difficult
What do you think triggered your Schizo-affective disorder? Was there a single event that caused it to happen?
Drugs greatly excelerated the disorder@@JonNobleNobelOne
I can truly relate but it's hard to trust people with what makes you vulnerable in hopes that they won't use it against you
I really need to know if anyone else feels this way???? Please help
I can definitely relate
I think these people are in-tune with their past experiences being re-lived so to speak. Who knows 100%. It could be another dimension they are partially still connected to. My mother and I went through a phase where when we shut our eyes to go to sleep and photos of the past, very old photos rolled before our eyes one after another in frames. Photos of native American's, people from other countries, no different than walking through a museum with old photo's of people. Completely detailed. When I mentioned this to my Mom she said I have had the same thing happen to me and realized it happened to us at the same time. It was actually cool. Lasted for about 3 days.

I was just diagnosed last week with schizo effective disorder, but I’m the bipolar type. Thank you for your video.
I was diagnosed at 18 a year after my episode at 17 with Schizoaffective disorder... I was not in therapy at the time... I don't know how I survived it despite it being fairly mild. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤❤ I talk about mine openly as well to help others understand what it can look like mildly as well.
This is a nice in-depth video about what the beginning of schizoaffective can start as. For me, I had visuals first at the age of 7 and then the bipolar stuff came later on. Glad you are making these videos!
Omg, my Frist Symptoms was also at seven. I Halluzination
Had that around 4 and then 9 again and then no more except in times of big distress
Thank you for sharing your story. I printed pictures of the ugly men and women or demons. When I heard the voices telling me how ugly I am, I just looked at the picture. It changed my life, it helps. Whatever it is, I didn't want to hear it. Why would I want to listen to someone who is ugly and a monster. The voices are attacking all of us. We are not crazy.
Thank you for being so transparent and articulate as you described your experience.
My son switched from ritalin to aderal at the age of 18 and within 3 weeks, had a schizophrenic break and never recovered. He remains hospitalized to this day, nearly 20 years later. 3 weeks on aderal...poof! Permanent brain damage.
I’m so sorry this happened- what did the doctors say? Why is adderall still available- how is your son 😢
I'm so sorry that happened to you and your family, that is awful. I hope it's being researched how that happened
Hi, sorry I don't know your name. I really wanted to reply to your comment. first of all what age was your son when he was on Adderall, I think you said for 3 weeks? The next thing I want to ask you is are you aware that most Boys get schizophrenia or the beginning of it around the ages of 18 to 23 that's normally the first start of the illness between those ages. The reason why I'm asking is who told you That the Adderall caused him to have a schizophrenic break? Again he was what age when he had this horrific break? From what you said he has been Hospitalized ever since? This is shattering. Also I for got to mention a large percentage of boys 18 -23 have their first Symptoms after using magic mushrooms or acid or hallucinogens. The Schizophrenia was dormant and after a drug high it starts. I am shocked that Adderall would CAUSE Schizophrenia. I have been on Adderall Since 2004. I am in the mental heath field and your story really touched me. I am so sorry for your son and you. Bless you.
Adderall clearly needs to investigated for the damage it has done. Given to growing brains of children.
@@tonimarie6270 Adderall is still available because it is a very effective medication for treating ADHD and Narcolepsy. It saddens me to hear about this woman's son but, the reality is, if it helps billions of people achieve success with their lives that without treatment with medication would have been difficult, the benefit outweigh the risks. That being said, side effects do occur and patients should be closely monitored at the beginning of treatment.
I applaud you for your transparency. Thank you for making this video.
My daughter was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type when she was 20. At first she refused treatment of any kind, then accepted treatment after the birth of her daughter at the age of 22. Then rejected treatment again in 2013, when her daughter was 6. My daughter is now 38 and her 16 year old daughter is under my care. My daughter is a lost soul somewhere I don’t know where. A few times a year, I receive an email from her that’s full of word salad. The hardest thing a parent has to do is mourn the loss of a child that is still alive.
😢
I'm so sorry. ❤
You have to fight for her recovery
You’re not alone I mourned the mental death of my then 13 year old last year at the same time giving birth to my youngest daughter.
@@mrs.rivera3645 I’m so very sorry.
I was diagnosed of having schizophrenia and psychosocial disability. By having medication and thru the advice of a neurologist and psychiatrist, I was informed that my disease is biological in nature that there is too much production of dopamine cells in my left brain hemisphere. It turned out that my addictive habits of impurity and too much self indulgence to pleasures are the causes of my sicknesses. But through God's word and the Bible and by having my suitable medications I live a very normal and useful Life. Thank God for helping me
Religion curing schizophrenia? This is an extremely dangerous and toxic thing to say.
Thank you so much for sharing! I was diagnosed with schizoaffective bipolar time back in 2021 at the age of 21. Me and my new doctor think it might actually be bipolar with psychotic features but I spent almost two years believing it's schizoaffective and it might still be
Indeed you’re the most beautiful human being on earth and your kindness to explain your illness is natural. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart
Home alone and I here a man's voice...very well spoken.. nobody I know... nobody there....hearing whistling... nobody there...
GHOST!
Thank you for sharing ur most intimate and scary moments of ur life. That's take so much courage to do and u did it so well. Meaning I wouod have broke down telling the story. But u have been so string I'm so glad u had ur mother along with ur journey thru. And u finally gotten the closure of just knowing what it is to manage and cope with it.
Thank you so much for making this video, it helps to destigmatize our illness and it's really valuable to hear what others go through
My son is diagnosed with sczoaffective disorder I have no support from family.Im sick as well.This is the hardest illness I’ve seen more needs to be done plus awareness.
First of all, you are so brave and courageous to share your story. I recently went through the strangest thing with my 10 year old. The past year, he became ill. He was seeming run down and fatigued. He then got strep throat and after that, everything changed. He was having panic attacks and started to hear things. Long story short, I was getting no where with my regular doctors. I took him to a naturalpathic dr and they did a Lyme test. There were a few bands of lyme, but I guess according to most doctors it would be a negative result. I wasn't understanding why & had heard from a family friend of a doctor who specializes in tick-borne disease. Turns out, my son had three bacteria hiding out in his blood, one called Bartonella. It can be spread from fleas, spiders, sand flies, etc...The more I read about this, I realize that it can cause so many autoimmune responses, systemic responses, and psychiatric responses including schizophrenia. It is also curable!!! The sad part is that finding a doctor who acknowledges these things and/or will send the labwork out where the test are done correctly seems to be very hard. I feel so lucky to have heard of this doctor. I feel that so many people are given a diagnosis and given treatment for things without finding the why behind the symptoms 😢 I am no doctor, so I don't know much...but from the little I learned, I feel there is more to be studied to help people with cures rather than just symptoms. I admire the courage I see in videos like this and pray for healing. Anyone from schizophrenia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, etc should look into this type of thing. The crazy part is I read that studies are showing that some of these bacteria can be passed to baby while pregnant. Seems like these things can also lay dormant, your immune system constantly keeping the bacteria "under control" until the body gets stressed due to illness and/or stressors when it causes autoimmune flare-ups, even in the brain. Like I said, I don't know much, but I can't help to wonder if there is a cure for more things than we realize! Until there is more knowledge, I wish you the best and thank you for the hope you give to others ❤
Not sure why this was in my suggestions........but this sounds just awful....like a nightmare. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
My dad and sister are diagnosed and in the past couple years I've had some symptoms that come and go. I recently had a flare up of hashimotos I haven't treated since I was 15 and learned there's a connection. So if anyone else has a family history of either it might be a good idea to get a metabolic panel and get your hormones checked
Hashimotos is also diagnosed sometimes as hypothyroidism
I've had schizophrenia since i was a little kid. I didn't know that i was having delusions or hallucinations until i was much older because i have been just living with it. I got bipolar after i had my daughter from not sleeping for days on end. Then my psychiatrist put me on Adderall for adhd and put me into psychosis that never really went away. I'm on meds now and feeling great. Still having hallucinations but they aren't nearly as bad and less delusional thinking.
❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this. Sending love.
Well I guess I'm not the only one with this problem... If I told you my story you would be one of the people that actually really understand what I'm going through. Stay strong. Peace
Thanks for this video, I really appreciate it. Take care.
Can you share what medications are keeping you stable and how long you have been battling with this disorder
Bipolar I here. I have been on lithium for 46 years. The importance of taking meds cannot be over emphasized. Not a cure, but a great relief. Mania still occurs with stress. Knowing this helps immensely. Hang in there and read everything you can about your illness. God bless.
I have had schizoaffective disorder since I was 21. I rarely have auditory hallucinations. Mostly I have different threads of thoughts with their own tone. I tend to feel I am connected to another world. To the point that I feel like this world is not very real. And when life gets tough I long to escape to the other world.
I’m trying to hold down a job right now and it requires a lot of acting. I might be hearing things but I can’t show it. I keep getting confused as to what day it is and I feel like I have to try to do a simple task 10 times to get it done. I’m really tired.
I've started making Mental health Vlogs as well I'm liking finding new Vloggers...I'm schizophrenic too... Well done ! new subscriber :D
Thank you so much! I'm excited to check out yours! :)
I was diagnosed with schizoeffective disorder at 13. I was in a mental health hospital when i was diagnosed.
I was diagnosed in a mental hospital with schizoaffective disorder at the age of 25 going on 26 and had just given birth to my first child. I was made to spend 2 long months away from my newborn so the bonding period was lost 😢
God bless you for sharing sweetheart...
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
My first auditory hallucination was music too!
That's really evil of a doctor NOT to warn a person about the symptoms you might start to feel and when to reach out for help. A peer supports worker would be so helpful for those with mental health issues.
I'm 52 years old I've been schizoaffective since I been 19 years old and I was like later in life misdiagnosed for along time until just since end Sept or beginning of October 😮 it's been a long ride in the weird feeling that I have been doing this for years and now I'm trying to make sense of what it is really going on in this an what's going on with me right now I just want to feel better soon!!!!
I remember in college in our one classes we were discussing mental illnesses and we went in-depth about schizophrenia and I remember thinking THANK GOD I’m not dealing with that. That year I started my journey with schizoaffective disorder Bipolar type. Started with depression and anxiety and the symptoms and diagnosis kept evolving. Felt lost for a long time! What can I say it comes in waves and if you know you know 🫠
I’m glad you finally found out, and that you stayed with it until you and your practitioner figured it out! People like to think psychology and psychiatry diagnoses are easy-I can’t count how many times I’ve read people calling others narcissists and psychopaths in comments sections of videos, to the point that I sometimes wonder why I bothered to go to school!-but it is a very difficult, sophisticated process. Symptoms can greatly overlap between disorders, so the practitioner has to rely on patient self report and reduces or increased symptoms or difficulties, so getting to the correct diagnosis for each patient can take awhile. Then, where there is symptom overlap reported by the patient, the process of finding the right medication(s) and the right dosage(s) is often going on at the same time. I’m hoping all is going well with you!
It really DOES come in waves.
What a perfect explanation
The 23rd psalm has helped me immensely.
It does help because it’s a spirit attack. Keep saying it and you’ll be protected.
🙏 amen
I miss hearing the music off meds:-( I’ll never stop my meds but boy if it ain’t tempting every day of my life
The thing that hurt me most about being bipolar II was that my psychiatrist never gave me my diagnosis. Why not? Why not speak it! Let’s take care of this but first I need to know WHAT AM I DEALING WITH? But no. “IT” was never verbalized, never mentioned. So I thought I was just screwed up.
As a RN, I went searching for an answer and found it. Took steps to treat it, monitor “IT” and learn to live a meaningful life. But it took ME to take control and guide my therapy 2:01
NURSES RULE! God bless you as you forge ahead for yourself and others.
Sorry! I simply do not believe it! I’m a psychologist myself, and since the whole point of consulting a mental health practitioner is to determine whether or not there is a psychological diagnosis, I cannot even imagine that this was not shared with you! If you really believe this happened, why on Earth did you not contact your State Medical Board?? You’re a nurse, so this would be an entity you have to update your credentials with!
You are amazing, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🕊✌🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing that pricetag on the horse’s hoof, thinking you saw that with white residue example, especially. I am an MSW student and have read about schizophrenia and watched “Living Well with Schizophrenia” some, and, did not understand the connections aspect and/combination with disorganization. It seems like the brain has trouble sorting stimuli so makes connections and impacts logical understanding of or interrupts, wondering/thinking that is a psychotic feature but still not sure where that line is, and, thank you so much for sharing! This really helps me understand more ❤️ Hug! You are awesome! ,
Lauren is in hospital she just posted ❤️🙏🤗
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it's helpful!

Hey I'm a new subscriber and I have schizoaffective disorder depressive type as well. I've been diagnosed for about 10 years and this year it's just I'm on on The struggle bus
I'm sorry you're on the struggle bus this year!
what medication do you take you are in such good shape i so fat from my medication.
Right I'm always going to have this disorder.
How is diagnosed at the age of five of schizoaffective depressive type❤ and then they redid the test again when I was 15 and another one when I was 21 and each time they did it came back schizoaffective depressive type
Thank you.
Cognitive symptoms are actually the most disabling symptoms of schizophrenia and they cannot be treated. Too bad you weren’t educated on what was going on in that regard. :( Most people only think of positive and negative symptoms if they even know what schizophrenia is. Struggling with cognitive symptoms fueled my paranoia.
Was there a trigger for your schizoaffective disorder? I appreciate your vids.
Thank you! Several months before the onset, my mom had a cardiac event and I took her to the ER and took care of the house alone while she was in the hospital for several days. When she came home, she was on bed rest for quite a while. When she was cleared to go back to work full time and I didn't have to take care of her, my dog, and the house anymore, my mental health declined rapidly. I've always been one of those people who pushes through tough situations then falls into low place when they're over, but that time was so much worse
I was just recently diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. A lot of the things that you mentioned that happened to you, happened to me as well. I grew up in a Christian home, so all these things I was experiencing was explained away as being an attack from the Devil. So, I thought it was normal in a way. 🤦🏾♀️
Me too! I’ve had so many people pray for me from this perspective.
It is really confusing. Because I know in the Bible God cast out demons. But how does that explain why medicine helps be think better?
I wish my sister had your courage.
Why don’t any of us in mental health take a look at haunting? Demons? Ghosts? I’ve seen things in my practice that led me to believe there’s a line- seldom but sometimes- where it cannot hurt to look at what we see as mental health affliction as maybe someone. Not often is this something I feel is outside the ‘physical reahlm’ and it’s too hard to state here what I mean clearly in the context stated here.
That's because most people drank the Darwinian kool-aid and refuse to allow for the possibility of God's existence (having an a priori commitment to materialism) and, therefore, supernatural/paranormal entities. I've experienced such things from childhood and reject the 'educated' explanations like 'hallucinations', etc. One only needs to study Demonology and discover the countless documented cases of demonic possession, out of body experiences and the like.
The movie The Exorcist was based on a true story, albeit a boy rather than a girl. The real folly is believing the natural world is all that exists while readily believing that life exists on other planets, which is essentially invoking the existence of supernatural beings to explain away the existence of God of the Bible ... a supernatural being. Go figure.
One must be anti-science and anti-logic/reason to accept such arrant nonsense like 'evolution', which is a hypothesis on history based on unprovable assumptions. One only needs to contemplate why a material universe obeys immaterial laws; the answer leads us to God. The Christian worldview is the only worldview that can account for the existence of the universe. Science strongly supports the Biblical narrative.
Consider reading T̶h̶e̶ ̶D̶e̶v̶i̶l̶ ̶A̶n̶d̶ ̶K̶a̶r̶e̶n̶ ̶K̶i̶n̶g̶s̶t̶o̶n̶, a true, documented case that will rock your world, so to speak. Amazon had it on kindle but strangely (and most annoyingly) removed it, although one can still obtain a hard copy. God bless you richly.
That's what i was thinking.
@@garethwest9069 thx, I’ll order it asap! I think, based on my observations and what is happening everywhere in today’s world, that book is removed BECAUSE it prob speaks too much truth.

Fortunately I started creating a library over 20 years ago. This yr I gave away the junk books that are entertainment and great for the psych units I work in. They need light reading since there is literally NOTHING for them to do. I’m now keeping classic literature, any important books (sounds like this might b one!) biographical stuff etc.. also holy books, esp Bibles and books related to the Bible of importance. Thank you!

That is a really good question. SSRI's, that are the most common medication to treat depression, do have side effects. However psychosis or hallucination is extremely rare though not impossible.

Get your thyroid checked by an endocrinologist. Blood tests will do it. Someone close to me developed schizoaffect disorder when he stopped taking his thyroid medicine. This happened twice, several years apart, when he had stopped taking his Synthroid, effectively making him hypothyroid. He was medicated with psychiatric medication after it showed up and after starting up his Synthroid medicine again, he eventually returned to normal. It might have taken 1-2 months. He was 18 the first time. If you can't get a referral to an endocrinologist, beg, borrow or steal the money to pay out of pocket for the endocrinologist visit.
I get my blood tested every 6 months and my thyroid has always been normal.
Test for Hashimoto antibodies. It can go unnoticed for years. I
reccomend Brain energy, book by dr. Palmer, mental diseases are metabolic diseases of the brain, mitochondrial disfunction. GAPS diet for better metabolism. Malnutrition and body toxicity influence the brain.
Same thing happened to me cause of my thyroid
Thank you very much for sharing your story. I have been on off on schizophrenia medication and hear voices 24x7. Did auditory hallucations go away completely for you on medication?
It took several tries to get the medication right and then I still had to be on the right meds for me for quite a while before they went away, but they finally did
@@notliketheothers Thank you for the info. It gives a lot of hope.
Scary.I would have been freaked..and I can take care of myself!😮
at the start this lovely girl explains how she was on meds for depression & anxiety, a common factor in adolescent kids especially with a hormone imbalance, would be interesting to know what meds she was put on & their side affects & also if any vaccinations were given around that time.
the symptoms that followed could quite easily be caused by sleep deprivation, would like to hear more of her story ❤
Bloodwork is _always_ done by reputable psychological and psychiatric health care providers, and in the case of some medications (but not for anxiety or depression) this has to be done at every or every other visit to check for side effects. Knowing what this woman was taking would not really be helpful, because side effects are general but experiences are individual and cannot be recognized until the patient takes the medication; how this woman responded to one medication typically wouldn’t necessarily be true in other patients. Dosages are always lowest recommended by age and are increased over time, if needed. Suspicions about hormone imbalances have to be checked by an endocrinologist, gynecologist, urologist, or integrative medicine practitioner, because psychiatrists aren’t qualified to make those decisions; however, since hormonal changes are typical in adolescents, something would have to be seriously wrong to be an emotional factor. Parents can still have that checked if they’re concerned. Vaccinations have no correlation to risk factors for any psychological disorder in the DSM 5, or they would have been outlawed. The flap about vaccinations “causing” autism was just plain wrong based on several decades of intensive research, and since I’m a developmental psychologist I know quite a lot about it.

Like guys i actually dont believe i have schizophrenia (disgusting word) I belive that in my case someone like , i dont know he calls it ''woke me up'' One day I was about to meditate when sudenly i hear '' he noticed '' on top of that , I live in Italy and im Polish and i spoke little to none italian and the voice of this person i belive ( is in love with me ) is in italian another thing is that I learned italian to perfection by listening to him for the past 2 years and in general like in music people talk about and obviously i've never had a visibile hallucination and in general seems like around 6 years ago it all went south and A LOT OF PEOPLE started having it , in the beginings of the internet there were like maximum 6 people that you could find with this deasease so I'am extremely sceptic about my diagnosis dont belive everything the doctors say coz u actually start beliving in it and it might make things worse i wrote this comment for someone like me that doesnt fully belive in his/her diagnosis
My son was hearing loud music and he and me were thinking that it would come maybe from neighbours

Do you think that schizophrenia is due to the stress?
Nope, multıple genes ınvolve on the development of ıt. However,envıronment trıggers the onset of ıt.
Has anyone considered a haunting? This sounds exactly like all the ghost videos to me
I agree!
Sounds terrifying, I’ll keep my ADHD and PTSD, hopefully 🫨❤
I recommend you use psychedelic mushroom, it will help you greatly, I used it and it changed my thought process patterns to a positive one , you can heal , I got it from an online vendor that specializes on psychedelics trades and safe use

Are you able to drive a car even though you take medication? Are you considered incapacitated? Do you have a job even though you take medication?
I am able to drive - my medication doesn't prevent that, though there used to be times with a previous medication where I was too drowsy to drive occasionally. I am not considered incapacitated. Disabled, but not incapacitated. And I do have a job. I work full time for a university as a project coordinator. Medication has never been an issue for me when it comes to having a job, though my symptoms made it hard to work several years ago in a previous job.
This sounds like uncontrolled Mediumship.
B12 deficiency, intravenous is the only way to get it right. Deficiency causes this. Acupuncture also helps.
That’s not necessarily true. It would be amazing if it were that easy. I had my blood tested for B12 and my levels were high.
People need to talk to their doctor about B12 rather than assume it is a cure.
How old are you?
Maybe a Ghost
We don't have to accept anything that anyone says maybe a priest who knows about shadows & ghosts & disorders might be another alternative

Maybe you were tapping into the non-physical world. That's what it sounds like to me.
