    I have schizoaffective disorder and struggle with delusions every day. It's so nice to know I'm not alone

    Your honest sharing of delusions really helps me to realize that my own terrifying delusions are in-fact not reality, which is very reassuring! Thank you.

    My most common delusions are that I have HIV or cancer or some kind of illness that even doctors don't know how to treat, I also think that people put acid or poison in my food and also I am sooo scared of animals because I think that they are demons who are spying on me. I have many others extreme delusions. I also experience hallucinations, I see flies that aren't here and also I see polar lights sometimes. Funny thing is that I also heard moon talking to me. I hear many voices in my head all the time, some bad some good- I call them personalities. I also think that I experience dissociation? Idk, I sometimes forget who I am and where I am and everything feels like a video game-not real.I am 23 years old and I started to experience these symptoms just a few months ago but I am already on antipsychotics. They do help but only like 50%. So my doctor wants me to stay at psych ward to start a more complex treatment since my symptoms are pretty strong. Life with schizofrenia is very hard. Its an everyday battle cause sometimes it gets very overwhelming.

      Sad to hear that, I hope the treatment will work better for you than the antipsychotics. good luck and thank you for watching and sharing! 💚

    My daughter hasn’t been diagnosed with anything yet but her mental health team are thinking schizophrenia . She has daily delusions. Her delusions range from severe paranoia ( that the government is watching her , or magpies are spying on her for the government) , hearing a voice that talks to her pretty negatively all the time and she has episodes of seeing and feeling bugs crawl on her. She also has a fear of smelling bad . She is on the antipsychotic Quetiapine . So far this has slightly lessoned the episodes but it’s heartbreaking to see her so distressed. I’m sending you hugs from Scotland.

      I have all of these issues and then it becomes real because I decided to approach the situation and then it's permanent with them..also feel like I stink...tons of deoderrant need of someone to tell me I'm ok but then feel like they are stuck with me 😢I can't handle it and the weirdest is knowing something before it happens like the other day I was listening to music everything was normal I had a thought of my cuz and I should take his binoculars back..and shit u not hee showed up and asked for his binoculars...and this happens quite often..and I haven't showered in a month I clean myself but I don't take a whole shower I have PTSD and wen ppl are doing things to us and we've had traumatic experience from it because it was real some body did put stuff in my shampoo and I lost half my hair .., and I've taken pic and video to prove just to my self I'm not wrong and now I have ppl harrassing me and I can't figure out if this is real I feel like it is and I havet figured it out yet I moved here to Sonya Ontario from Detroit Michigan and 10 years ago and my mom has passed away one year ago today well today was the day we buried her and I have absolutely nobody left so I have no family that cares or friends I'm trying to make fun things to do things behind my back and I find a lot of distress in these people and I ain't trying for a good reason for the last year I also got a new dog that is a big handful and everybody's telling me I should get rid of them is that and everything cleaning my neighbors but he's a German shepherd and people are scared of them and he's aggressivehe viciously Burns and all that good stuff but I like it because there is nothing one person in my home that's stolen from me that's treating me wrong or anything because you won't let anybody in and at first I thought it was bad but you know what like it's been an amazing for me and but I also have been experiencing this without showing anything and like I used to be a huge fanatic for like making sure my whole routine was taken care of and I've always got stuff to use and then I always end up like jumping around something else because like I just don't have anything any motive to do so even if I have an appointment like I still I just make it happen like I put it on my you know and it's not good for your body to do that and then I'm going to fear of living with and then the dog pee on the side of the bed so I can clean it with vinegar and lemon juice smell good stuff and got the smell away and everything and just having a fear of like being dirty and that people can tell and see and like I tried to clean myself like but I miss showering and I miss doing these things and like I had some episodes where people came to my house while I was in the shower and turned on my stove twice in a row and I don't know how to get past that right like if they're just like waiting for me to put down my garden is what I feel like and as soon as my guards down and then something's going to happen with the dog and he's been like there for me and when that happens like to have my back right and I just don't know I'm having to say that they're trying to get him away from me and I was told right to my face that I'm someone sent me I'm going to make sure you do not have that dog I promise you the dungeon do anything to anybody nothing happened but like all it takes in a small town this is someone to tell someone one thing and then like call the police or something and boom like you know what I mean they believe it it's been very stressful and no last night I yelled at my neighbor and I feel awful about it and I don't even want to go say sorry because she probably doesn't even have anything to do with me and it was just I heard something that they had said and I thought that it was something more and now I feel awful like I just woke up and I feel terrible and I feel like it was like maybe an episode cuz I didn't sleep for a couple days and I thought those people 27 choice yesterday the dog was barking and everything like they were throwing yourself at the door so these things so it's like a mixture of these things happening and then my mind taking it a little bit further or two right and but it's been a little bit more in-depth than that and that's why I started watching these videos and it was very thankful to click on yours becausecan you make extreme sense and it was very random that I clicked on yours and I wasn't going to listen to anything about this and I can't believe it like but it's hard to because there's so much more about our brain and like what could be happening it could be so many things and I've been misdiagnosed for years so I've always been very very depressed and anxious and insecure and I should know about it I've never seen myself that way and now I look at myself and I know some of my teeth and I'm freaking look like hell and I'm just like what has happened to me in the last couple years like and I just don't even look the same anymore and I feel like people are scared of me and didn't think I stink like they don't want to talk to me I just had a severe insecurities and like I have nobody to tell me different and and if I do I don't believe them and then when they tell me the truth I don't want to hear it either I don't want to hear it I'm actually very grateful wasted many years thinking what people are telling me now and it was the opposite way around right so I don't know maybe you have any answers to get back to me and don't be wonderful if anybody does please thank you

    I have a schizophrenic friend whose main delusion is becoming invisible against his will. I’m not mentally ill, but I’ve felt and still feel “invisible” a lot, so that would likely be my delusion too, if I had schizophrenia. He usually gets this delusion when they change his meds and he gets hospitalized. Whenever I go visit him while he’s psychotic, he tells me that he’s happy because I have “a special vision” that allows me to see him and therefore he feels safe. I know he might sound stupid to most people, but I can consider his trust one of my biggest accomplishments in life!

    My mum started getting delusions from the age of 72. She is now 80 and this is ongoing. She does not recognise them as delusions and insists it is all real. Neighbours are attacking her in her flat with laser technology - they are etching scary faces on brick walls where they know she walks - following her in her car and popping out of junctions in front of her and encouraging false allegations. She accused a nurse of assaulting her with a needle - accused one man of date raping her and another of indecent exposure. I seem to be the only person in the world she trusts - everyone else is in on it. She lives ok otherwise - it is like some kind of game to her and she likes to stay one step ahead of them and thwart their schemes. She even thinks my g/f who she has never met could be part of it.
    I try to be sympathetic and it is a shame she will not accept any kind of medical help.
    At least you KNOW you are suffering from a clinical condition - my mum thinks it is all real.

      My ex boyfriend is the same way. He is completely convinced he's being tortured by the police with microwave weapons. He has so many crazy false memories. He thinks I own the music industry, among other things. I don't want to go along with it, because I feel like it feed into his delusions.

    Thank you ! You are educating many of us who care and love individuals who live with schizophrenia as you.
    My son's psychosis moments we very similar to yours. He too wanted to live in the forest in a tent to flee the crowds and live in isolation . He too experienced deep anxiety over neighbors talking about him,coworkers poisoning his food and sabotaging his vehicle. People breaking in to our home though all door locks were changed and cameras set up to his request.
    Not leaving the home for nearly a year due to anxiety and delusions.
    Medication has greatly helped, took nearly two years find the med combination that settled his psychosis. Also, a therapy dog has helped tremendously.
    One lingering issue is not showering for months, changes cloths regularly, but brushing teeth and bathing are a struggle.
    Listening to this video is educational and heart touching.please know your are a great teacher and helping many of us to understand what it is like living with schizophrenia.

      OK this was interesting one. My bf has a lot of this symptoms, especially he set up a camera infront of the door. Brushing teeth and shower I sometimes need to ask him. Also he changes clothes a lot and are obsessed with using to much deodorant. Always ask me if he smells bad? Sometimes it's like he goes into his own world and I can't connect with him when I try to talk. He just ignore me. He is also delusional sometimes when we having a conversation like he feel I attack him when I'm not. It's very difficult and it's like caring for a child. He never make dinner. Barly anything at home. He me er wa t to talk about his health when I ask him and shuts down. Also anger outburst. I also noticed his tone of voice changes depending on person he is with. He is very good at masking. Can this be the answer? I thought first bipolar but I'm not sure now it's gotten worse with age

    I relate so much to the neighbor delusions. I thought I was being harassed by neighbors who were a part of a noise campaign by the CIA. I thought I was a "targeted individual" and my hallucinations played into that. They thought I was treatment resistant until they tried me on Invega and now everything is basically gone. It was such a miserable experience. I can't believe how stressed I was. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. You're not alone. I hope things get better for you!

    While watching your video I remembered RUclips channel that’s called “Living well with schizophrenia”. The creator of the channel, Lauren, has schizoaffective disorder and recently she (onboard with her psychiatrist, psychologist and keto-coach) started her keto journey that goes surprisingly well.
    IN NO WAY I suggest you to start keto but maybe it will be interesting for you to check out her videos.
    Lauren is talking a lot about the reduction of her symptoms (and the doctors are not concerned about her health as well) so I though that maybe if you are treatment resistent, something like this might help. Also keto seems to help really well with easing symptoms of diabetes, which is also nice.
    Once again, I don’t want this to look like I give you an advice of any sort, because I don’t know your situation and your struggles fully and I am not educated about keto either.
    So I guess it’s just a recommendation of a very nice RUclips channel 😊
    Hope you won’t find my message rude or intrusive, because I wish you all the best in the world❤

    • @Kimberly_Viktoria
      @Kimberly_Viktoria  10 месяцев назад +2

      haha funny that you mention that! I started doing keto again after a big break from it this Christmas and I do feel better eating a ketogenic diet, I get slightly more energy and it has been much easier to lose the weight. and don't worry I don't find it intrusive I realize that it comes from a good place. have a nice weekend and thank you for watching and commenting! 💚

    I really wish I was as brave to do what you do and be so open about myself. I just hope you know how very strong you actually are. There really should be a television series where people who have schizophrenia are more accurately portrayed. I distrust a lot of people as well. I tend to believe I am always judged or people are thinking terrible things about me. I think this is just from the negative experiences I had as a child. I do have a funny story about a neighbor. When I used to smoke, I had to go outside. I always thought this neighbor was laughing or talking about me. We never really met until our neighborhood flooded. He said to me that he "knew" I probably thought he was strange. So he was actually worried about what I was thinking about him that whole time. I admitted that I thought he was thinking the same about me. We had a good laugh about it.

    • @Kimberly_Viktoria
      @Kimberly_Viktoria  10 месяцев назад +1

      oh thank you! and I agree, I wish they portrayed schizophrenia in a more accurate way in tv but as of yet I don't think I have seen much of it (if at all). funny story, I find that most people are so consumed by their own anxiety and thought about themselves that they most often don't actually think of us they way we think they do... but of course thats hard to think of in the moment, especially in psychosis or strong anxiety. I glad you had a laugh at it! again thank you for your lovely comment and for watching! 💚

    Thank you for being so honest, real and vulnerable. I totally relate to the neighbour one. I get really upset and think my neighbours have turned on their pigeon scarer even after I told them that the noise bothers me. It’s more that I get obsessed about it and use it as an excuse not to record my singing because the noise would be in the background.

  • @parker2121
    @parker2121 Месяц назад +1

    I relate to all of this so much.
    Neighbors can be such a challenge... They're almost never *actually* like the delusions make them seem, but they are random people who do have their own random weird habits sometimes. They're just very nosy in my neighborhood. They like to stare. Granted, my appearance is strange, so it's not terribly surprising. But I just can't stand being looked at. It makes me really paranoid. This wouldn't matter, if not for the fact that I'm really into fitness and I run 5 miles most days. Sometimes I get paranoid that they're going to call the police on me for no reason. Other random people walking past freaks me out, too - at least, men do. I'm always worried I'm going to get attacked. I have legitimately had people throw stuff at me from their car window, or sometimes men pull over and try to convince me to get in the car, so it's really hard for me to separate my psychotic symptoms from like... a "healthy wariness" of others.
    I just want to be left alone so I can run in peace.
    The one about feeling like you probably smell bad is a big one for me too. It's so embarrassing that I've never told anyone about it.

    Hello Kimberly! Thank you for sharing what your delusions are like. I find them interesting that there seems to be some common ones among schizophrenics like being watched/spied on, worrying about body odor, etc. Funny enough, i actually experienced the paranoia about body odor during my teen years. It was playing into my anxiety about my hygiene and appearance to others at the time. These were also some very hard years of my life personally. And, I have a strong suspicion my father had paranoid schizophrenia, but went undiagnosed his entire life. I grew out of these delusions somehow. I truly believe the only reason my delusions didn't develop into the full blown disorder, is because i never drank alcohol or did any drugs. And thankfully, i started paying attention to my nutrition and my sleep as i got older. But schizophrenia has always fascinated me, as i see so much of my poor tortured Dad in the disease. And so funny when you mentioned the FBI! Being from Sweden, thats quite a unique delusion for you to have. It is a quite common delusion for the ones in the US. Now I'm curious to know if the FBI's negative reputation is something recognized all over the world..

    Thank you for sharing Kimberly. ❤ Sharing our inner most vulnerabilities is no easy thing to do. ❤ Just to reassure you, that you are a beautiful person, and your inner beauty radiates outwards. It's always a pleasure watching your videos, I can't believe for one second you could annoy anyone. 🙂 Neighbours if anything tend to show displeasure by making loud noises, playing loud music etc. and consistently so. If you aren't experiencing anything like this you have nothing to worry about. 🙂
    Thing is time alone, is time on one's hand to get trapped in internal thoughts, and if we are vulnerable, feeling down etc. our thoughts tend to fixate around the negatives in our current life, which is why it's always nice to have positive people around who can distract and highlight all the positives that we tend to forget. 🙂I think it's also important to remember that your Dad was far from perfect and one can be easily triggered because of that. ❤ Kimberly I hope this has found you in a good place and lifted your spirits some. 🙂I find it very difficult to understand how you haven't met your significant other yet. You are doing everything right, it has only got to be a matter of time... Much love and respect to you, keep up the good work. 🙂

    Very honest videos. It’s been a privilege to watch them Kimberly. People are only scared of serious mental illnesses because they don’t understand them. I include myself in this, I lost a friend (had to cut contact with him) because he traumatised me when he was undergoing an episode of psychosis - I wish a: I understood more so that I wouldn’t have been so frightened and knew how to help, and b: he have been more honest about his illness so I could have known what to expect should he become unwell. Once we can understand, we are no longer scared and can help.

    My son is currently in hospital with psychosis that they think might be schizophrenia. He's been there just over 5 months and believes he is fine and that there is nothing wrong with him. It is so hard to know what to say to him, and so hard to watch him struggle.
    Listening to you talk about your experiences gives me hope that one day he will have some understanding of what's happening for him.

    Maybe you have the symptoms because of toxoplasmosis (the delusion with smelling like catp**** and that the cat is spying on you may indicate that, this parasite causes the brain to be upset). The doctors have a test for toxoplasmosis, in my region every pregnant woman gets tested for toxoplasmosis, as it can have bad consequences for the baby. So the test is pretty basic. There's no cure/treatment for toxo but at least you'd know then, if this was/is causing some problems. Best wishes! ❤

      @@Kimberly_Viktoriathank you Kimberly for your kind reply. ME = ‘Myalgic Encephalomyelitis’ and CFS = ‘Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’.
      In ME/CFS patients have less blood than normal. So when they try to exercise, their body gives up much more quickly than in a healthy person and they become ill for a period. Interestingly I found a paper from 1938 which showed that schizophrenics had 12 percent less blood than normal - that’s very similar to me/cfs. More recently a researcher called Michael maes has found elevated inflammatory markers in both conditions.
      It’s a weird one. I’m wondering if some people with ME/CFS develop schizophrenia because things like lower blood flow to brain affect their brain function leading to schizophrenia presentation.

    Its difficult for many reasons but one being that not everything is in your mind entirely. You and a neighbor maybe always going out to walk your dogs at the same time for example. How many times does it need to happen until it is no longer considered a coincidence? Its this setup but with everything and then your individual "delusions" are placed on top of it. To me everything is a setup, not everything is a delusion, but you can be made to feel absolutely horrible.

      As a sufferer myself, I think I understand. with your rational mind, you can think “Well, that’s just a set of coincidences - nothing to worry about.”, but you still feel paranoid anyway, because your irrational mind is thinking “What if it isn’t coincidence?”. I have a security light at the back of my house that, for three nights in a row, went on at the exact moment I put my head down on my pillow. It was just a cat roaming in my garden setting the light off, I’m sure. (I’d witnessed this happening at other times) But you can imagine how that made my paranoia go wild, trying to figure out how “they” knew the exact moment I put my head down to go to sleep. It’s quite funny when I think back on it. But it just shows, coincidences do happen!

Thinking that the neighbour must be planting video cameras in my bedroom and getting a live feed of me in my bed, waiting for my head to hit the pillow, then using a laser or tight-beam infra red to set off my security light from over the fence ... is one of my less elaborate delusions.

      @@Kimberly_Viktoria Thanks so much Kimberly. Your speech, tone of voice, presentation and pauses etc are so soothing to the ears. So i understand delusions in themselves whih happen in psychosis is itself termed psychosis and when you are out of psychosis you dont have or believe in those delusions right? Or some can go on believing their delusions even when out of psychosis (with respect to schizophrenia). Thanks

    Can schizophrenics work and be successful for say 9 months at a stretch without medications, and get psychosis after 9 months ?

    • @Kimberly_Viktoria
      @Kimberly_Viktoria  10 месяцев назад +1

      it really varies from person to person but I don't think I have spoken to many who have worked full-time jobs without medications for longer than a few months. and by then they have usually become very ill with psychosis . but some can be symtom free for some time while working and then the psychosis gets triggered again by stress or other things. I haven never been without meds when trying to work part-time and I would definitely not recommend trying...

    Chinese traditional medicine addresses blood defeciency and ways of healing with food,acupuncture abd herbs.For example they miggt talk about heart blood deftmicexy or licer blood deficincy and distinct causes and effects, i.e panic attacks related to liver blood defeciency and can be relieved by eating Hot roasted Chestnuts.I bouggt some of a stand in the city when a panic suddenky hit me and it worked,I attended to my city brief bussibess and wnt home to relax and recharge. My adrenals were probably a little depleleted due to the energy and focusing charge provided by a specific anti fungal drug that is no longer available, others are, and they were helpful for me in overcoming the brain fog from CFS and episodes of permeability,porosity of personal boundaries that come with the territory of overtiredness, sensory overload,emotional depletion and experiences of depersonalization if one becomes really rired over a long period. Tine out,deep rest,and use of restful prayer,good food,supportice, but non demanding family, and one miracously becomes radiantly alive again. Yes, I believe there is much to learn
