Creepy you said this bc I just mentioned this to my husband! Even in the 1960s they would have shoved you away in an insane asylum and you would have been shut away listening to voices nonstop. The workers probably abused you as well 😔
polysom yes i know it can be horrible, i suffered a lot from sleep paralysis + night terrors, you never know which night the shadow people will appear to mess around, i always sleep with lights on and problem solved
Luizifer Behel I’m curious with sleep paralysis and would want to experience it a few but can’t I’ve only had night terrors. If you wear a face mask the one that goes around your eyes for sleep, would you still see shit?
It's also that they're talking about you, conspiring against you, organizing people who secretly follow you... They don't want you to know they're after you
Schizophrenia is honestly a fascinating issue. For instance, i once read that deaf people who develop schizophrenia, instead of seeing voices, will see disembodied hands signing at them. What is even weirder is that a common side effect of schizophrenia is that you don't even notice the fact that you have symptoms at all. It all seems perfectly normal to you.
Schizophrenia is incredibly fascinating because they can exist in any self-conscious reality and you as a person who controls the body is free of judging these thoughts, as much as everyone else judge other peoples opinions. Mine for instance is a motivation seeking consciousness using objects or actions as rituals to medicate my sadness and enhances my willpower. I never thought of any suicidal thoughts but i think thats just me not making it able to do it. If I see that i fail more often Id probably get them as much as other people. I used to consider those thoughts as a secondary consciousness and as a big part of my personality. I was never comfortable with that personality and everyday feels like a mountain of responsibility. Despite that, I liked it since it improved me so much as a person so I attempted to create another consciousness which couldnt work cuz human brain can think thrice at a time. Now I realized that 'consciousness' is actually called intuition and that its just ridiculously extremely better than most people. The difference between it and an actual intuition is that it is way way random, assertive, convincing (even if it doesnt make sense or even if it lies) and boisterous as much as OCD. Its gone now but half of me wishes to bring it back for personal reasons.
Due to that experience it made me question the limits of the human brain and got me interested in mental capacity of will and memory. I thought of this consciousness as something that any human should achieve. On contrary, everything in reality is falling apart and no person around me appreciates my existence. Behaviors triggered by schizophrenia just got worse from time to time and I was still thinking that it is a huge help for any individual capable of change as it opens up experience and mistakes. Whenever I experience mistakes made by the consciousness and done by me irl, I always blame myself for that because I know no one will understand what it is. Although from experience, it did really helped me, I feel that its more because of the people having those thoughts not being able to control them than the thoughts themselves. At the same time, I feel that it harms other people because very rarely do people like me are competent enough to alter the thoughts of their mind and the effects of not doing so can be devastating, in addition to them being alienated by the experience. No matter how extreme these are, they are thoughts and they are very subjective. Think of something and it will either say do this or not, or connecting perceived objects to extremely irrelevant details or patterns in which you be the judge of it. I think that schizophrenia is more likely to develop amongst people whos personalities are naturally memory centered at dealing information and more likely for people living with extreme social pressures. There has to be some sort of fear complex from a trauma/s for a person to develop one. Note: I never ever used to considered that schizophrenia is a mental disorder, even after I cured myself from it. I see it as an adaptation and a flaw of the human mind, just like a mental process. ex: logical person would have difficulty processing feelings, because they are too busy considering 'what should be' than 'what feels like'
@@Dios_of_Autumn-1999I see say this in all seriousness, but from what I can glean you say you cured yourself? As in not taking medication actively? I know these comments were about five months ago, but that was unambiguously word salad. If you're not on medication or seeking professional help, please do so. There are more factors in schizophrenia than delusions and hallucinations, and your speech/writing patterns are a serious red flag that you're not out of the woods yet, even if you think that you are
I never had a history of taking any medications related to mental illnesses. There were people who were concerned about my mental well being but none of them were able to alert my parents about it partly because I am good at controlling it. As for proof I am cured, all I can say is that my schizophrenia is a manageable experience which differs from the others. It demands extreme discipline and dedication to live with it everyday. Also there were plenty of things in my experiences that actually gave me a choice to escape it which I eventually did through my own volition. No average person could last six months in that experience or better yet a whole week. While all of those months were agonizing, I think that the hardest months I’ve experienced were my first and last months with it. The first being it as new experience to adapt to and the last being all of my pain from those five months drained me to my dead will and feeling that same pain again from my first because I realized I have to go through the same process of character development all over again. (recall: nearly a decade have passed from that time)
I have schizophrenia. My best medication and comforter when I have an episode is my 6 month old tabby named Buddy. He comforts me. He works better than any medication ever could. I love my cat!

@@cinzley244 how dare you tell a schizophrenic that their hallucinations are real. You just think that because you've never had to deal with it and you read the Bible too much
The best way I could describe the feeling to someone who doesn’t experience it is that when you’re in the height of psychosis it feels like the buildup to a jump scare while watching a horror movie you have an intense feeling that SOMETHING is about to happen you just don’t know what yet so you assume everything you encounter will be where is comes from
@@SamuelBlack84 hi I'm the original person just on a different account, as someone who has struggled with panic disorder for most of their life and had a psychotic break at like 18. it is certainly kinda similar but the fear is on a much different level. Like with a panic attack for me personally at least its just like general anxiety very physical feeling all of that. Whereas psychosis is more like your brain is on fire and almost anything you try to make it better only worsens it cause its like, "but wait what if this tea (I made myself) is poison?" and just generally feeling like everything is going to be the end idk its like different but in a way that's hard to explain
I find this simulation to be an accurate depiction of living with schizophrenia. I am diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. The first time i heard hallucination was when i was in my room just relaxing. Across my room (from opposite side of hallway) is my dad's room. He was watching tv. When i was dozing off, i heard a woman voice from the tv. I think it was the news. At one point i 'heard' her say 'i worship the devil.' shortly afterwards i began hearing continuous voices out of nowhere. Throughout the months. I would also be listening to people and all of a sudden 'hear' them saying things "Nick is my husband," from both men and women. I would hear audible female voice saying "masturbate to me," repeatedly. I would develop delusional thoughts thinking that i was able to hear subliminal messages within people. When i was attending a church, i would 'hear' someone saying "i want a sacred bitch," during their prayer. I heard voices mentioning moloch, a demon god. During songs, i would hear "praise baal" or "pee in my heart." one time i was at my room, and i percieved a male voice saying "im a satanic worshipper, i will get you, etc." Over the months, i thought i was developing spiritual powers, other times i thought i was demon possessed. I didnt know what schizophrenia was, so i thought it was all spiritual experiences. I wanted my family to kill me just like the abraham and issac story because i thought i was demon possessed and that it was the only way to break free. My family called the police, and the police took me to a mental hospital. With my permission, they injected me with something so i could fall asleep. I was asleep for more than 24 hours, because when i was in psychosis, i was always awake. During the 3 weeks i was in hospital, i did hear voices, but the medication finally made the voices stop. I became an outpatient, where i later found out that i was schizoaffective. Ever since, ive been at home. I was at hospital februrary-march of 2020, so i learned about corona virus when i came back home. Since then, no voices. I still go through mood symptoms. Im now more conscious about delusional thoughts when they occur. I forgot to mention that i had many visual hallucination with images. Ive seen demons in my dreams. They are ugly, that is what sticks out the most. I experience sleep paralysis, where a black silhouette of a person held me down and spoke an unknown language to me. These hallucination seem so real because of the senses that i feel. As a religios person, i believe in the existence of demons, not only because i read about them, but also by experience. Schizophrenia can be funny at times, but i experience mostly horror and had irrational thoughts. I hope this testimony may give a better understanding of what schizophrenia is like. Thank you for reading.
@@nativeboykta brother i know you mean well but these are hallucinations and have nothing to do with spirituality, religion or reality. They take the form of demons and blasphemy because this person deeply values God and religion. By giving them the impression these have truth to them you can make them doubt taking medication or worse.
I’ve been diagnosed with panic disorder and I have to admit his is 10x scarier than any panic attack I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine having to go through this every day.
Yeah, this reminds me of my panic and PTSD. I don't perceive things that aren't there or have delusions though. But I definitely feel the whole, trapped in your internal world thing, and the feeling that something bad is gonna happen.
Very accurate. I was diagnosed with a psychotic illness around 4 years ago. I've had two episodes, and both were terrifying. It's even worse when the voices are people you know. Constantly commenting on your actions or telling you to do dangerous things. My hear goes out to anyone who has experienced this nightmare.
I have a question. Why are schizophrenics all propaganda spewers? Why do they all seem to think they're right all the time? I'm trying to figure out why visual hallicunations make you arrogant. Maybe you're not arrogant - maybe it's just the last 25 that I spoke with, but they're ALL misinformation spreaders. I want to meet a schizophrenic that appreciates science, medicine, and facts, but is aware their brain hallucinates frequently. Do they exist? I want to interview one.
As someone who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, I locked myself up for four days, because I believed my best friends plotted against me, to kill me. I have had heard voices before, but then I just "knew" they would kill me. So I planned to kill them first instead. When I realised, that it was just a psychosis, and I prepared everything to kill me best friends, I was just terrified. I mean, I knew, I would have to kill them, to safe my life. But if you realize, that you nearly tried to kill your best freinds because of a psychosis, you will feel dirty as fuck. Which fuels further madness.
A few years ago I suffered a drug-induced psychosis for a couple of hours/days & it was sort of similar to this. I have to clarify that the voices you hear are only a fraction of what’s actually scary. The real scary thing is how you feel - sort of feels like if you were in a mental jail, & you know you are trapped and no one can help you because if you ask for help then you’re admitting to being crazy so you decide to keep it to yourself so you don’t scare others (hence scare you as well).
I had one night of a psychotic episode on LSD (fairly I did all the wrong things, unfamiliar environment, invited a bunch of people to the hotel I was in, worst of all forgot I took it)
I went through that BAD. I just got it much worse than most people and for that reason I haven't touched it in 4 years and I WON'T. I took myself to the emergency room, police, it was an absolute NIGHTMARE
@@EmilyJ0928 i hope you’re okay. It’s very difficult to put into words but that was the worse experience in my life - I wouldn’t wish that on my worse enemy.
@@villainouskamikaze yeah me too , and same drug, it wasn’t fun for a while , you can feel your brain falling of the reality realm , and just speeding up with thoughts
The worst part about my experience is that the voices said things I was not expecting. The insults were terrible, pointing out my physical flaws and insecurities. I knew they weren't real as I have read about schizophrenia before I began having episodes. It was so bizarre to be able to hear voices. It was as real as talking to someone face to face. I never knew the clarity with which you could hear them so I can understand people going off the deep end. Anyhow I started rock collecting and built a homemade rock tumbler. It's a passion now and saved my sanity.
Many schizpophrenics actually suffer from demonic oppression. Voices that tell you that you're worthless, ugly, stupid, that they hate you etc. are certainly demonic. Satan reaps many souls by driving ppl into suicide.
@@sisooonano3794 // I wouldn't say everyone's is interesting....my son feels like he's losng his mind. He deals with this 24/7...and can even feel them touching him, so I wouldn't call it interesting for everyone. Its horrifying as hell for him.
My brother Tommy developed paranoid schizophrenia in his mid 20's, he was my bestest friend in the world. He lived with his mom but we talked everyday and hung out all the time, then he got to the point of being so paranoid he wouldn't take his meds & his mom wouldn't make him. We still talked on the phone but not much because he thought I worked with the FBI, and our conversations were being recorded. Due to his illness he refused to leave the house period so we didn't know anything was wrong with him, but on 10/29/10 he fell over dead in his bedroom the coroner said his heart went out of rhythm and he was gone before he hit the floor. He also said if he'd been going to a dr regularly it would've been caught, but he just didn't understand my brother like I did & I'm glad I saw this because now I can understand the hell he went through everyday. But it's been almost 7 years without him and I'm still lost, he'll always be my best friend I love u Tommy & I'll miss u always 😢💔
Tina Lancaster Could that happen to, I mean my heart getting outta rythm cause I never leave my house cause I avoid social interactions. I leave the house only on several occasions, like going to the store. When I read that I got scared!
S!dney Nami // Coffee King Well the anxiety itself can cause rapid heartbeat, that's normal. The problem with my brother is he wouldn't leave the house at all, meaning he never kept up with any of his dr appointments to make sure he was healthy everywhere else. So when his autopsy was done they said him neglecting his health, and not checking to see if he might've had an unknown heart condition that could've been taken care of, that's why his heart just suddenly went out of rhythm and he was gone. The coroner actually said he thought an infection from his teeth and gums from lack of dental care, could've also caused that to happen. If u neglect your teeth & gums as bad as he did an infection can go the heart and kill u, if not caught in time. I know it's hard and really scary but do your best to keep up with regular dr appointments, and u should be just fine. I'm so sorry u have to suffer through this, it's a horrible illness and I wish u the best.💜
So was it because of all the worry and stress he put on himself I’m only asking because I’m a paranoid schizophrenic and I don’t hallucinate but I think people are always watching me out to get me or the fbi and it makes people not want to be around you or you around people cause you don’t trust they mean you any good or they laugh about your struggles but I fight myself in my head a lot so I just want to tell you if people knew how serious this problem really was
As someone with a diagnosis, it is very accurate. I had a severe episode around a year ago and i was insanely stressed out, once my parents came home everything felt good again. It makes me feel more secure in a way, like if something bad were to happen there would be help.
@@samcaranol4102 Lmao, while you judt ignored the person above you- Maybe not to ALL experiences, but this video saud it wouldn't be accurate to everyone. That's like going into a video about autism and going "that's not accurate" just because it doesn't cater to specific traits. It is accurate, just not for everyone because they aren't all the same.
I sure love the ending. No stark trail off at the peak of psychosis. A source of help comes in, changes the mood, redirects attention, helps to ground the sufferer. Going out in nature is very helpful.
Best thing for you at the peak of a delirious/ psychotic episode (besides sleeping if you can even manage that) is seeing green nature and sunlight. The dark is your enemy, that’s when the hallucinations really take hold. Nature is natural and that’s your best friend. The darkness just plays into the hallucinations. I’m speaking from having a roughly week and a half long drug induced psychosis coming off of long term benzo use that would of eventually led to me seizing the fuck out and probably dying. It’s a horrifying experience delirium. And already having ptsd from unrelated events a psychotic episode is pretty damn traumatizing. Led to having legitimate panic attacks later on worrying about becoming delusional again. After a few days of becoming psychotic you cannot tell the difference between reality and your dreams, it feels like entities or forces outside of your control are torturing you. Absolutely horrifying.
I think this is pretty good. I had a similar episode 15 years ago. I no longer suffer from it. For about 3 months everything was "poison" and "they're part of the plot".
Im not schizophrenic but this reminds me of years ago when i developed a benadryl habit due to insomnia. My tolerance got too high and sometimes I'd overdo it. I'd see gnats crawling all over the place and remember hearing dead relatives whispering into my ear.
I had similar stuff during the first and only time I tried weed. Heard weird choir folk music and saw some breakdancing fly in a bucket. Also thought I was going to die, but I found the experience somewhat agreeable
@@karlm5223 I mean in all seriousness it does seem easy until you actually have to deal with it. Like all illnesses it doesn’t seem as bad until you experience it for yourself. I’m lucky to not have any sort of mental or physical illness right now
As someone who has been diagnosed with this. I can say it's about as accurate as video editing could make it. Someone who recovers doesnt actually lose the experience. But trains themselves to use the occurrences to their advantage turning them into mechanisms. It would take publishing a series of books to thoroughly explain that. But answers can be found
So you basically learn to live with it, right? Well, that would make sense. Psychiatrists should work more with the patients and actually acknowledge the voices and what they say. I can imagine that it could be very beneficial for someone experiencing this to be absolutely open about the voices comentig, instead to keep quite out of fear to be stigmatised. What do you think about that?
@@tinka6376 “The Explanation of Schizophrenia: A Documentary “ is on Netflix, but I dont know if they removed it due to graphic content. “ Schizophrenia Is A Disease, not a Illness : how I see it “ is previously on RUclips, but deleted. i think someone reuploaded this
I had a friend in middle school and high school who had this, but nobody knew. She thought I was in on a plot to kill her so she became very mean and we would fight all the time. Hearing these voices breaks my heart, knowing she probably heard so many unkind things in a day. We’re no longer friends bc our values changed, and I wasn’t that understanding of a kid. I hope she’s ok now and that her meds help. I’m crying just thinking about it
I was never diagnosed, and I'm afraid to be. This feels a bit relatable. I don't hallucinate but every day I often have intrusive thoughts with my own voice saying exactly a lot of the stuff said, I sometimes go as far as mumbling along with them to myself when I'm alone. I keep randomly insulting myself and saying horrible things about myself in my thoughts. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a kid and I still get treatment, but this is frighteningly similar to a typical day for me
My ex is a paranoid schizophrenia. We are still close and care for one another. One time he wouldn’t go near his grandmother that he lived with or eat or drink anything she made because voices told him she poisoned everything trying to kill him slowly. I was always there and still am to reassure him that he is ok and that no one is going to do that to him. Breaks my heart what people with schizophrenia have to deal with.
I hope she gets better someday. My sister is also suffering from the same . The last few days have been very scary . She doesn't listen to us and keeps saying strange things. I hope she also gets better
OCD : holy sht, did I leave my door open?!?!, Oh no oh no, maybe I could have left the AC on as well?, Oh no the electricity bill is gonna kill me. Schizophrenia : *Stomach growls* "There are people inside your belly button, quick put poison inside, hurry before they eat your stomach, also your foot is being telepathically controlled by someone."
schizophrenia can be experienced in many ways very differently. I never experienced something like this, i dont hear voices nor watch hallucinations but instead i thought that my mother had been replaced by a double and i even went through a mourning period believing that. also i yelled at my mother and was disrespectful because i thought she was not her. Edit: I did some research and found out about the case of Christine Collins whose son was replaced by an impostor and she was thrown in the mental asylum for claiming it was not his son. I have also read about even a top former mental health official how mental illness definitions are imperfect constructs. At this time I think psychiatry is deeply ideological, many times deeply subjective and an institution of social control, not of human health. Regarding my mother I think she was replaced by a lookalike who manipulated the psychiatrist with a web of lies against me in order to control my properties and silence my doubts about her identity. Now I have a lawyer and took legal action against her. I will hire a pi to investigate her identity.
+midnight storm Well i hope you dont get diagnosed with schizophrenia, it is not a label you want believe me. Dont drop out of school, finish high school, because your job prospects without a high school diploma are very dim. And if you are very intelligent go to college.
@@thorfinn518it’s not bad it’s meant to feel jarring and strange. Almost disconnected. Notice how the voices on the tv were talking in a much more normal way.
I believe that mental illness is of the _devil_ and that salvation is of _God._ Even though that was a _"simulation",_ that would be where God casts the demon(s) out.
One of my teacher’s son had schizophrenia in my elementary school. The kid believed that his parents were replaced by aliens, and one night he ended up killing his father. The human mind is really scary.
I don’t know if I have a disorder like this, but sometimes I have manic/hyperactive episodes and this video really reminds me of the intrusive thoughts I get.
As someone who was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia, AND treated, I can say that I have experienced things like this. On some occasions, I would experience voices. Sometimes they were directed towards me, sometimes they weren't. Strangely enough, I would follow these voices every now and then, only to find myself confused as to where they were coming from (this was before I knew that I was diagnosed), and most importantly, I would jump at the sight of whatever was at the corner of my eye. Nowadays, I still do kinda jump at the sight of whatever is at the corner of my eye. It honestly kinda spooks me sometimes! When I was diagnosed, I started looking into it a bit, and came to the realization that perhaps my emotional state may be playing a factor in this. Whenever I felt a strong sense of emotion, perhaps something like paranoia, i'd see or hear something. It's really strange, but I do find it pretty interesting and kind of a spook at times.
@@matth227 i'm not too sure about that. i feel like people can read my mind and i know its not true, but the feeling is still there. i think this might be a delusion. so to me, its not a thought- it's a feeling. this is just my view though.
Watching this with schizophrenia. It makes you experience it while having it. It hurts but at the same time it makes you think that it might all be in your head
Well, it basically is all in your head, but that doesn't mean that the experience isn't real for you personally. The difference is that the perceived reality is internal, meaning it's happening in your own head.
I had this too, it is hard, but I'm starting to recover, I have to be strong to control myself not my mind controlling me. I take medication and healthy lifestyle, going outside of your comfort zone, doing new good things, and especially having someone beside you, to lean on, like friend a pet, a family or a gf or bf. Take things, take life not so seriously... And play a game with your mind to make things fun instead of depressing. It is really hard, but I want to get out of this so I will try everything..
During one of my psychotic episodes i heard angelic music through my speakers which were 100% turned off. Also my father's voice who had then recently passed away.
that actually happened to my family once, we were on a holiday in an old village house and an old fashioned phone that wasn't supposed to work, started ringing. if i remember right, a voice from the phone said something like "i brought the milk" or something XD i wasnt the one picking it up though
i've been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia back in 2019, that was the worst year of my life seeing my mother cry when i got in the mental hospital, i suffered sleepless nights and could hear voices in my head saying that i should hurt my mom and my dog, but thank god i didn't do anything because i couldn't bear the thought of doing something like that, with the help of my psychiatrist, everything is fine now, my life was back to normal but there was this time that i realised that i might've had it since young age but it wasn't that serious back then i had this delusions that i would die from the smallest things like eating too much sweets or getting a cold, and not only that but i couldn't stop thinking to myself that someone was following me or to kidnap me which made me feel paranoid a lot, even when there was this time i could swear that when i was running i would see a man winking at me but i wasn't sure if he did and that thought went it to my mind a lot of times and i was too scared to tell my parents of fear something bad might've happen, but after years i feel much better now that i seeked help and took my medicines...i feel much better than before thanks to my family. Thank you so much for reading and always share with your family if there is something wrong that you feel it will be much better for you.
Hannah Metro me too, sometimes I can also predict what will happen right before it does and some things can come off as fake. Once in a while I will panic and delete all my texts emails and posts but that doesn’t happen as often after getting off of Facebook. Man did Facebook ever fuck with me
My brother went through this exact thing, he even asked my mother at 13 years of age "do you hear the people talking to you too?" And other than them 2 there was nobody there.
This reminds me of a bad trip so much I got to come down from that. My heart goes out to people with schizophrenia. Having to live in a bad trip your whole life. I can’t even being to imagine how exhausting, scary and awful that must be
I talked to a guy in prison once who had schizophrenia, and he told me that he would often watch and be spoken to by the tv even when it wasn’t turned on.
This is pretty much me off meds. I've seen my food moving, my coffee smelling like poison. The voices, the hallucination. Its not an easy life. I probably shouldn't have even watched this, it's pretty triggering for me. But I'm ghb lad there is a video like this out there to show people what it's like.
I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia. It seems like the whole world is against you and trying to harm you . You know its unreal but you cant help yourself. I'm right now trying to use these voices encourage me to get better every day of my life. Hope this will work because meds don't.
So I talk to myself because I hear my.voice in my.head say things but it's not me doing it. It's my voice but it says stuff I don't choose for it to say. I'm curious if you hear your own voice or some one else's
@@BlackWidow187 I have schizophrenia and hearing your own voice is completely normal. With schizophrenia you hear other peoples voices outside your head.

It's all in our head. In 2019 I thought I lived in a kind of Matrix (similar to the 1999 movie). I read emails that gave me "signals". The bath water itself looked like it wanted to explain why it was liquid, the sound of the neighbors were answers to questions he was asking at the time. Basically all I was experiencing and hearing was signals to my responses. I saw the world in a way that seemed real and that only I knew that this was happening. It all felt real and true. I was actually in a psychotic state. I was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. I was hospitalized for 7 days. I had quick improvements. I took some medication (light). And I was fine. After that event and realizing what had happened to me, I entered a more depressive phase (it's normal). But with the help of a psychiatrist, in a few months I stayed. The real me. Who knows what life is and who can perfectly understand what happened to him and who can look back in 2022 not with fear but with the awareness that he passed a false "experience" but deep down the experience is incredible, too bad it's all from our head.
ATL Falcons Man my girlfriend is going through this right now… It started out with her hearing a male voice and a female voice as if they were neighbors looking through the window talking shit about her… At first I thought she was just messing around but now I’ve been doing a lot of research on it… I wish I could help her… Now she hears me and her mom talking shit about her whenever I’m not even there and her mom is at work… We are about to see about the doctor for her to go see
@@user-ri5mo6qv8s we actually broke up.. it consumed her.. it got to the point where I was holding her ears as she cried herself to sleep.. she started accusing me of all kinds of shit and it just got to be too much for me to handle she ended up going to tell my parents that I was hurting her and doing all kinds of shit which was complete bogus. but I wasn't allowing her to tarnish my reputation over it ....
Closest I've had to this was sleep deprivation. Spending 6 hours in my closet with my gun pointed at the door. Cigarette butts all over me. Waiting for my parents (who had been planning all day) to come in and end me. The door handle would vigorously shake, I'd sit in front of it with my feet on the door, begging for mercy. Seeing my mom in the window with a gun at my face. Listening to murder plans all night long through the walls. Once you hit 4 days, shit gets messy. 100% believing it was real. I'd even test it, I'd think 'there's no way.... I need to see it', sneak downstairs and see the family talking in the living room in weird clothes. Terrible way to live, couldn't imagine.
About 6 weeks ago, after 5 days of no sleep, I slipped into psychosis. I didn't hear voices but I thought I was about to die and I hallucinated quite a bit. I called my brother at 4 am thinking I was going to hell. I thought my wife had kicked me out of the house. I was laying in a yard at one of the colleges crying, so alone and so afraid. I heard a gunshots, and shortly after police came around and saw me laying on the ground. I could barely communicate or understand what was being said to me. Thankfully my brother was on facetime with me and was talking to one of the officers, so I felt relatively safe. It was the scariest night of my life, and now I can relate to people who have permanent psychosis. It is absolute hell and I can totally understand why someone would commit suicide if they had it
@@lil.mexico5567 sounds like meth to me. I’ve experienced meth induced psychosis before when staying up days on end. shit is always terrible like a nightmare you’re having while awake. Glad I haven’t touched that shit in years.
You shouldn’t assume it was meth. I’m bipolar 1 (manic depressive) and that often causes people to stay awake for several days as well. We are often mistaken for being high when it’s actually mania. I’ve never done anything like meth, but there have been times when I’ve been up and dancing despite being awake for 40 hours straight.
this reminds me of the time I had anxiety induced psychosis at the worst of my depression. i saw a lot of centipedes crawling on my wall and blood smeared everywhere that read "DIE". I looked at my floor, which had my jacket, and it was me, dead in a pool of my own blood. i heard voices telling me to do it already and that they see me. i saw my own face staring back at me, pale and lifeless. it genuinely felt real and to this day, despite knowing it's not real, it frightens me.
I have psychosis, and its similar to this. the voices arent really auditory, its more like inside your head, like voices speaking directly into your brain.
My grandmother why raised me had schizophrenia and one time we were watching the news and eating when all of a sudden my grandmother popped up, threw her food at the TV. She said "they said they were going to kill you!" I was so scared I was just 9. I always wondered what she heard. I'm saddened that her and anyone else go through this.
I overdosed on a SSRI and slipped into a very scary psychosis that had me convinced I was dead because the people on tv wouldn’t stop talking about stuff I had done earlier that day,on a TV quiz show I was watching a segment that popped up telling me how much I had cooked my brain and people dressed as bakers laughing at me. Literally felt like I was in hell...
@@Syuurp Sertraline is a kind medication that doesn´t come with too extreme side effects. Overdosing on it is probably pretty unlikely. I eat it too, I think we´re good :)
One of my old coworkers has a brother who has drug-induced schizophrenia. During episodes, he would call her and tell her that demons were coming for her. She’d always tell him that God was protecting her and no demons would hurt her. Seeing this simulation makes me realize how scary his life must be.
Could you imagine owning several firearms and being this mentally disturbed?? I'm sure many of people do. A pretty terrifying thought. Kind of a miracle that there aren't more shootings in the world.
As someone with OCD this got hard to watch. I can’t even imagine how terrifying living through an experience where the distrust is coming from somewhere outside of your internal monologue feel. How much scarier it must be when the voices telling you things are poison aren’t your own.
I'm a person who was diagnosed with this at a young age, I am 15 I was diagnosed at the age of 12 and I had hallucinations all the way back to when I was 4, honestly I don't know if this was too young because I don't like to research it (just needed to say that sorry) I use this video so much to explain to people when they ask me and I appreciate this so much.
One of the things that I hate about this videos is how they turn to end up like "ohh... you just need to get out and take your medicines" like... is some sort of magical potion that fix everything
S.Ariadne Navarro well taking your medicine helps but it will not get rid of it. Cause I found the right medication. So I can actually can do stuff like working and such.
this is the most ignorant comment i've ever read. Schizophrenic people need their meds or it will worsen. Most cases of schizophrenic people going without their meds usually leads to suicide or they end up harming someone else because it worsened.
@@lonerevenant0 you can't just say that without knowing if there might actually a better therapy that hasn't been tried. Pharma loves money and would do anything to prevent better ways to treat it. For example, studies exist that show how very specific diets can help much better than meds, but would the words most committed people with billions of dollars ever look into it to help people? No, because it doesn't make them money.
I find it hard to believe changing your diet would help better than medication... I mean I'm not a fan of taking a cocktail of meds when you don't need to, but psychotic episodes ain't playtime.
@@Tijopi11 yeah, it's hard to believe but why not, actually? It works for severe auto immune problems too, so there's a lot more too it than we know. Look it up.
I had similar experience like this years ago when i was suffering from insomniac hallucinations and it always terrifies me. One time when i was watching the TV in my living room and imagined shadows of spiders crawling outside of my living room windows, another time when i was texting my colleagues at night and i randomly heard clapping noises next to me, I heard running step noises in my home multiple times when i tried to sleep, and it always scared the shit out of me.
I previously suffered with Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective disorder, it was seriously one the lowest times of my life!! This is a good general view of how our lives were, and how we felt, but now that I’m lucky enough to say I no longer suffer from this, my situation was this but x100!!! Each day was not a hell, but a nightmare with a different story each day!!!
This describes my elderly neighbor exactly. She is convinced that people are trying to poison her from the vents and her kids are helping them poison her.
Almost every time i enter a mosque and people are looking at me the voices in my head keep telling me I'm doing this wrong or you're wearing the wrong clothes or something like that and when i sat down my heart was extremely beeping
I experienced something very similar to this last night, save for the voices. Full on hallucinations or people I know, having full conversations with them. Very paranoid as well. Was around 1am, sitting outside the Subway on base. Was afraid if I went back to room alone Id be kidnapped tortured or killed by some entity. The walk alone through the dark woods to subway was frightening enough. Finally, I stopped a real person who I am aquainted with. Explained things the only way I knew how. I thought I was having a severe panic attack, that I thought I'd go crazy if I tried to walk home alone, then I asked him if he was real. He said yes. Asked him about the crowd of ghosts I'd been chatting with the past hour and a half. He said they were never there.
This video is incredibly well made, and actually reminds me of the Silent Hills PT demo that came out a while back, specifically when comparing the weather man in this video to PT's radio voice. Of course, this video is meant to be informative rather than entertaining, but nonetheless it captures the same paranoid horror.
I think the worst part about watching this video made me realize I definitely was starting to develop schizophrenia a while ago and I don't know how but I snapped out of it and now I'm so scared I'll slip back into it again..
Lonewolf XX I hear whispers as well, I hear crowds of people but can't make out what they're saying, it's simply very noisy in my head when not on meds. Do you have anxiety?
Man this is not anxiety come on... I try to be positive but tell you what, I've been hearing everyone thoughts for almost 2 years now, and one time in the middle of the night when I was at my grandmother's I heard her call me by name with her voice from her room but It was all dark and noone was up, right after i went there to see if someone was there (and there wasn't) i started hearing 2 men having a conversation in a muffled voice right ouside the balcony behind the glass door, I could hear them talking kinda like it really was the glass but to a greater extent, so confused, and when i moved closer to the glass i could hear the volume of their voices rise. I swear i didn't focus on that it all came by itself that night in fact I was just browsing like always.... but it's so much crazy shit like I used to see numbers appearing and shit for more than a year and that literally decided a lot in my life.... I know anxiety i had anxiety b4 this and I when it all started I never got to hear other people's toughts about me but i just had mood switches.... In fact, to prove u more, because here now I'm thinking that not only i have mental illness but I'm also fucking stupid to think I have paranoid schizo in an extent, but not only i hear negative things i can also hear good things so it's not depression. This never stops I got to a point in life where i would feel even more good than when i was sane but now im getting down once again due to reasons and this is mainly it. My brain is doing its own in a good and especially in a bad way now and there's nothing i can do about it it's more than anxiety and I want to believe I am not delusional. ITS IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND that the variety of the cases are enormous. In my case my not so normal life from the very beginning to now, plus multiple trauma and heavy use of drugs changed how my brain works, and hopefully i stopped taking drugs and I kinda stopped the process, but I can clearly see that even the more i do and the better i get in life, this won't change and is actually growing. please convince me i only have anxiety so at least i know im just fooling myself being delusional but mind that episode and nono, i remember, i used to see weird shit too like numbers in the sky a black serpent made of dark clouds in the sky and the clouds especially morphing
This is pretty informative for me. Unfortunately, my mom had this (she passed) and brother has this. They believe that my dad is always out to get them. They believe he cuts their clothes and did other things to ruin their lives. The irony is that my dad was actually the sole provider for the family. I guess it didn't help that my dad worked for the government (adds to the paranoia ). To the best of my knowledge, I don't think my brother has ever been medicated. At one point I think my brother even believed the entire street was conspiring to help my dad make cuts into the side of his car. Not sure how I would go about convincing him that he has a disease and needs medication ?
I can’t imagine having schizophrenia. I have DID and stress induced psychosis and severe OCD and bipolar rapid cycles. Much of the video reminds me of my own experiences but mine is done by different parts of the brain than someone with schizophrenia. Thoughts don’t sound as internal and vision doesn’t actually change but I perceive it as changing. It’s like dozens of intrusive thoughts at every turn and my senses going in and out and my mind feeding me random words and directions and realities. But I don’t lose complete touch with reality in the same way. I am disconnected from it and going by an alter reality while trying to navigate normal reality. Sounds similiar but it’s not the same thing.
Randomly found this video while trying to look up stuff about psychosis, and the title caught my attention so I went to watch it. I found myself relating heavily but I also know it’s not my experience and is its own separate thing from what I’ve got going on
Imagine suffering from this in medieval times
@1LebedTV1 lol

Creepy you said this bc I just mentioned this to my husband! Even in the 1960s they would have shoved you away in an insane asylum and you would have been shut away listening to voices nonstop. The workers probably abused you as well 😔

@@K33FSH0RTY how
It's also that they're talking about you, conspiring against you, organizing people who secretly follow you...
They don't want you to know they're after you
Schizophrenia is honestly a fascinating issue. For instance, i once read that deaf people who develop schizophrenia, instead of seeing voices, will see disembodied hands signing at them. What is even weirder is that a common side effect of schizophrenia is that you don't even notice the fact that you have symptoms at all. It all seems perfectly normal to you.
Schizophrenia is incredibly fascinating because they can exist in any self-conscious reality and you as a person who controls the body is free of judging these thoughts, as much as everyone else judge other peoples opinions. Mine for instance is a motivation seeking consciousness using objects or actions as rituals to medicate my sadness and enhances my willpower. I never thought of any suicidal thoughts but i think thats just me not making it able to do it. If I see that i fail more often Id probably get them as much as other people. I used to consider those thoughts as a secondary consciousness and as a big part of my personality. I was never comfortable with that personality and everyday feels like a mountain of responsibility. Despite that, I liked it since it improved me so much as a person so I attempted to create another consciousness which couldnt work cuz human brain can think thrice at a time. Now I realized that 'consciousness' is actually called intuition and that its just ridiculously extremely better than most people. The difference between it and an actual intuition is that it is way way random, assertive, convincing (even if it doesnt make sense or even if it lies) and boisterous as much as OCD. Its gone now but half of me wishes to bring it back for personal reasons.
Due to that experience it made me question the limits of the human brain and got me interested in mental capacity of will and memory. I thought of this consciousness as something that any human should achieve. On contrary, everything in reality is falling apart and no person around me appreciates my existence. Behaviors triggered by schizophrenia just got worse from time to time and I was still thinking that it is a huge help for any individual capable of change as it opens up experience and mistakes. Whenever I experience mistakes made by the consciousness and done by me irl, I always blame myself for that because I know no one will understand what it is. Although from experience, it did really helped me, I feel that its more because of the people having those thoughts not being able to control them than the thoughts themselves. At the same time, I feel that it harms other people because very rarely do people like me are competent enough to alter the thoughts of their mind and the effects of not doing so can be devastating, in addition to them being alienated by the experience. No matter how extreme these are, they are thoughts and they are very subjective. Think of something and it will either say do this or not, or connecting perceived objects to extremely irrelevant details or patterns in which you be the judge of it. I think that schizophrenia is more likely to develop amongst people whos personalities are naturally memory centered at dealing information and more likely for people living with extreme social pressures. There has to be some sort of fear complex from a trauma/s for a person to develop one.
Note: I never ever used to considered that schizophrenia is a mental disorder, even after I cured myself from it. I see it as an adaptation and a flaw of the human mind, just like a mental process. ex: logical person would have difficulty processing feelings, because they are too busy considering 'what should be' than 'what feels like'
@@simonsimonsimone reread my comments i accepted how dangerous it is but at the same time i also acknowledge how helpful it is.
@@Dios_of_Autumn-1999I see say this in all seriousness, but from what I can glean you say you cured yourself? As in not taking medication actively?
I know these comments were about five months ago, but that was unambiguously word salad. If you're not on medication or seeking professional help, please do so. There are more factors in schizophrenia than delusions and hallucinations, and your speech/writing patterns are a serious red flag that you're not out of the woods yet, even if you think that you are
I never had a history of taking any medications related to mental illnesses. There were people who were concerned about my mental well being but none of them were able to alert my parents about it partly because I am good at controlling it.
As for proof I am cured, all I can say is that my schizophrenia is a manageable experience which differs from the others. It demands extreme discipline and dedication to live with it everyday. Also there were plenty of things in my experiences that actually gave me a choice to escape it which I eventually did through my own volition. No average person could last six months in that experience or better yet a whole week. While all of those months were agonizing, I think that the hardest months I’ve experienced were my first and last months with it. The first being it as new experience to adapt to and the last being all of my pain from those five months drained me to my dead will and feeling that same pain again from my first because I realized I have to go through the same process of character development all over again. (recall: nearly a decade have passed from that time)

The best way I could describe the feeling to someone who doesn’t experience it is that when you’re in the height of psychosis it feels like the buildup to a jump scare while watching a horror movie you have an intense feeling that SOMETHING is about to happen you just don’t know what yet so you assume everything you encounter will be where is comes from
The worst type of spider sense :(
Sounds like a panic attack
In my understanding, its like anxiety but 1000x induced
@@SamuelBlack84 hi I'm the original person just on a different account, as someone who has struggled with panic disorder for most of their life and had a psychotic break at like 18. it is certainly kinda similar but the fear is on a much different level. Like with a panic attack for me personally at least its just like general anxiety very physical feeling all of that. Whereas psychosis is more like your brain is on fire and almost anything you try to make it better only worsens it cause its like, "but wait what if this tea (I made myself) is poison?" and just generally feeling like everything is going to be the end idk its like different but in a way that's hard to explain

I find this simulation to be an accurate depiction of living with schizophrenia. I am diagnosed as schizoaffective disorder bipolar type. The first time i heard hallucination was when i was in my room just relaxing. Across my room (from opposite side of hallway) is my dad's room. He was watching tv. When i was dozing off, i heard a woman voice from the tv. I think it was the news. At one point i 'heard' her say 'i worship the devil.' shortly afterwards i began hearing continuous voices out of nowhere. Throughout the months. I would also be listening to people and all of a sudden 'hear' them saying things "Nick is my husband," from both men and women. I would hear audible female voice saying "masturbate to me," repeatedly. I would develop delusional thoughts thinking that i was able to hear subliminal messages within people. When i was attending a church, i would 'hear' someone saying "i want a sacred bitch," during their prayer. I heard voices mentioning moloch, a demon god. During songs, i would hear "praise baal" or "pee in my heart." one time i was at my room, and i percieved a male voice saying "im a satanic worshipper, i will get you, etc." Over the months, i thought i was developing spiritual powers, other times i thought i was demon possessed. I didnt know what schizophrenia was, so i thought it was all spiritual experiences. I wanted my family to kill me just like the abraham and issac story because i thought i was demon possessed and that it was the only way to break free. My family called the police, and the police took me to a mental hospital. With my permission, they injected me with something so i could fall asleep. I was asleep for more than 24 hours, because when i was in psychosis, i was always awake. During the 3 weeks i was in hospital, i did hear voices, but the medication finally made the voices stop. I became an outpatient, where i later found out that i was schizoaffective. Ever since, ive been at home. I was at hospital februrary-march of 2020, so i learned about corona virus when i came back home. Since then, no voices. I still go through mood symptoms. Im now more conscious about delusional thoughts when they occur. I forgot to mention that i had many visual hallucination with images. Ive seen demons in my dreams. They are ugly, that is what sticks out the most. I experience sleep paralysis, where a black silhouette of a person held me down and spoke an unknown language to me. These hallucination seem so real because of the senses that i feel. As a religios person, i believe in the existence of demons, not only because i read about them, but also by experience. Schizophrenia can be funny at times, but i experience mostly horror and had irrational thoughts. I hope this testimony may give a better understanding of what schizophrenia is like. Thank you for reading.

I’ve been diagnosed with panic disorder and I have to admit his is 10x scarier than any panic attack I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine having to go through this every day.
I have the same thing. I suffered for 15 years with panic disorder. this is so terrifying
It’s not always scary your mood determines what you feel
Every disorder is terrible in it's own way. Please, don't depreciate yours. Take care ✨❤️
SAME HERE! this seems horrible
Yeah, this reminds me of my panic and PTSD. I don't perceive things that aren't there or have delusions though. But I definitely feel the whole, trapped in your internal world thing, and the feeling that something bad is gonna happen.
Very accurate. I was diagnosed with a psychotic illness around 4 years ago. I've had two episodes, and both were terrifying. It's even worse when the voices are people you know. Constantly commenting on your actions or telling you to do dangerous things. My hear goes out to anyone who has experienced this nightmare.
I have a question. Why are schizophrenics all propaganda spewers? Why do they all seem to think they're right all the time?
I'm trying to figure out why visual hallicunations make you arrogant. Maybe you're not arrogant - maybe it's just the last 25 that I spoke with, but they're ALL misinformation spreaders.
I want to meet a schizophrenic that appreciates science, medicine, and facts, but is aware their brain hallucinates frequently. Do they exist? I want to interview one.
Watch scott primal within a week you cure
Sounds like demonic to me
As someone who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, I locked myself up for four days, because I believed my best friends plotted against me, to kill me. I have had heard voices before, but then I just "knew" they would kill me. So I planned to kill them first instead. When I realised, that it was just a psychosis, and I prepared everything to kill me best friends, I was just terrified.
I mean, I knew, I would have to kill them, to safe my life. But if you realize, that you nearly tried to kill your best freinds because of a psychosis, you will feel dirty as fuck. Which fuels further madness.

A few years ago I suffered a drug-induced psychosis for a couple of hours/days & it was sort of similar to this. I have to clarify that the voices you hear are only a fraction of what’s actually scary. The real scary thing is how you feel - sort of feels like if you were in a mental jail, & you know you are trapped and no one can help you because if you ask for help then you’re admitting to being crazy so you decide to keep it to yourself so you don’t scare others (hence scare you as well).
My best friend actually suffered a, drug induced, psychotic episode too.
He tried to commit suicide.
His account of the event is chilling.
I had one night of a psychotic episode on LSD (fairly I did all the wrong things, unfamiliar environment, invited a bunch of people to the hotel I was in, worst of all forgot I took it)
I went through that BAD. I just got it much worse than most people and for that reason I haven't touched it in 4 years and I WON'T. I took myself to the emergency room, police, it was an absolute NIGHTMARE

The worst part about my experience is that the voices said things I was not expecting. The insults were terrible, pointing out my physical flaws and insecurities. I knew they weren't real as I have read about schizophrenia before I began having episodes. It was so bizarre to be able to hear voices. It was as real as talking to someone face to face. I never knew the clarity with which you could hear them so I can understand people going off the deep end. Anyhow I started rock collecting and built a homemade rock tumbler. It's a passion now and saved my sanity.
Many schizpophrenics actually suffer from demonic oppression.
Voices that tell you that you're worthless, ugly, stupid, that they hate you etc. are certainly demonic.

My brother Tommy developed paranoid schizophrenia in his mid 20's, he was my bestest friend in the world. He lived with his mom but we talked everyday and hung out all the time, then he got to the point of being so paranoid he wouldn't take his meds & his mom wouldn't make him. We still talked on the phone but not much because he thought I worked with the FBI, and our conversations were being recorded. Due to his illness he refused to leave the house period so we didn't know anything was wrong with him, but on 10/29/10 he fell over dead in his bedroom the coroner said his heart went out of rhythm and he was gone before he hit the floor. He also said if he'd been going to a dr regularly it would've been caught, but he just didn't understand my brother like I did & I'm glad I saw this because now I can understand the hell he went through everyday. But it's been almost 7 years without him and I'm still lost, he'll always be my best friend I love u Tommy & I'll miss u always 😢💔
Tina Lancaster Could that happen to, I mean my heart getting outta rythm cause I never leave my house cause I avoid social interactions. I leave the house only on several occasions, like going to the store. When I read that I got scared!
S!dney Nami // Coffee King Well the anxiety itself can cause rapid heartbeat, that's normal. The problem with my brother is he wouldn't leave the house at all, meaning he never kept up with any of his dr appointments to make sure he was healthy everywhere else. So when his autopsy was done they said him neglecting his health, and not checking to see if he might've had an unknown heart condition that could've been taken care of, that's why his heart just suddenly went out of rhythm and he was gone. The coroner actually said he thought an infection from his teeth and gums from lack of dental care, could've also caused that to happen. If u neglect your teeth & gums as bad as he did an infection can go the heart and kill u, if not caught in time. I know it's hard and really scary but do your best to keep up with regular dr appointments, and u should be just fine. I'm so sorry u have to suffer through this, it's a horrible illness and I wish u the best.💜

The ending was kinda sweet though. As soon as the girl came everything got calm, like she made the person feel better.

I sure love the ending. No stark trail off at the peak of psychosis. A source of help comes in, changes the mood, redirects attention, helps to ground the sufferer. Going out in nature is very helpful.

Best thing for you at the peak of a delirious/ psychotic episode (besides sleeping if you can even manage that) is seeing green nature and sunlight. The dark is your enemy, that’s when the hallucinations really take hold. Nature is natural and that’s your best friend. The darkness just plays into the hallucinations. I’m speaking from having a roughly week and a half long drug induced psychosis coming off of long term benzo use that would of eventually led to me seizing the fuck out and probably dying. It’s a horrifying experience delirium. And already having ptsd from unrelated events a psychotic episode is pretty damn traumatizing. Led to having legitimate panic attacks later on worrying about becoming delusional again. After a few days of becoming psychotic you cannot tell the difference between reality and your dreams, it feels like entities or forces outside of your control are torturing you. Absolutely horrifying.
I think this is pretty good. I had a similar episode 15 years ago. I no longer suffer from it. For about 3 months everything was "poison" and "they're part of the plot".
Did you take any meds if yes did you stop?
Good question
Were the voices in your head or did you hear them outwardly
I know what it’s like. My aunt has it and when she’s in an episode i’m scared to even look at her
Schizophrenia is a life long condition. There is no cure.
Im not schizophrenic but this reminds me of years ago when i developed a benadryl habit due to insomnia. My tolerance got too high and sometimes I'd overdo it. I'd see gnats crawling all over the place and remember hearing dead relatives whispering into my ear.
Holy fuck that’s bad

As someone who has been diagnosed with this. I can say it's about as accurate as video editing could make it. Someone who recovers doesnt actually lose the experience. But trains themselves to use the occurrences to their advantage turning them into mechanisms. It would take publishing a series of books to thoroughly explain that. But answers can be found
So you basically learn to live with it, right? Well, that would make sense. Psychiatrists should work more with the patients and actually acknowledge the voices and what they say. I can imagine that it could be very beneficial for someone experiencing this to be absolutely open about the voices comentig, instead to keep quite out of fear to be stigmatised. What do you think about that?
I turned mine and love it
Do you know any books or literature about it? It would be beneficial for me

My ex is a paranoid schizophrenia. We are still close and care for one another. One time he wouldn’t go near his grandmother that he lived with or eat or drink anything she made because voices told him she poisoned everything trying to kill him slowly. I was always there and still am to reassure him that he is ok and that no one is going to do that to him. Breaks my heart what people with schizophrenia have to deal with.
Was it helping him when you told him that everything is fine?
This is amazing. I don’t know how people take this. My daughter deals with crude, violent, perverted voices.

@@wednesdaysartcastle9018 i mean i agree to an extent, some people actually do this at least 10 times??
schizophrenia can be experienced in many ways very differently. I never experienced something like this, i dont hear voices nor watch hallucinations but instead i thought that my mother had been replaced by a double and i even went through a mourning period believing that. also i yelled at my mother and was disrespectful because i thought she was not her.
Edit: I did some research and found out about the case of Christine Collins whose son was replaced by an impostor and she was thrown in the mental asylum for claiming it was not his son. I have also read about even a top former mental health official how mental illness definitions are imperfect constructs. At this time I think psychiatry is deeply ideological, many times deeply subjective and an institution of social control, not of human health. Regarding my mother I think she was replaced by a lookalike who manipulated the psychiatrist with a web of lies against me in order to control my properties and silence my doubts about her identity. Now I have a lawyer and took legal action against her. I will hire a pi to investigate her identity.
commenter78 that sounds extremely similar to an episode my father went through
+midnight storm Well i hope you dont get diagnosed with schizophrenia, it is not a label you want believe me. Dont drop out of school, finish high school, because your job prospects without a high school diploma are very dim. And if you are very intelligent go to college.

As someone who was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia, AND treated, I can say that I have experienced things like this. On some occasions, I would experience voices. Sometimes they were directed towards me, sometimes they weren't. Strangely enough, I would follow these voices every now and then, only to find myself confused as to where they were coming from (this was before I knew that I was diagnosed), and most importantly, I would jump at the sight of whatever was at the corner of my eye. Nowadays, I still do kinda jump at the sight of whatever is at the corner of my eye. It honestly kinda spooks me sometimes! When I was diagnosed, I started looking into it a bit, and came to the realization that perhaps my emotional state may be playing a factor in this. Whenever I felt a strong sense of emotion, perhaps something like paranoia, i'd see or hear something. It's really strange, but I do find it pretty interesting and kind of a spook at times.

This made schizophrenia look so fun, i wish this simulation was accurate
Watching this with schizophrenia. It makes you experience it while having it. It hurts but at the same time it makes you think that it might all be in your head
Well, it basically is all in your head, but that doesn't mean that the experience isn't real for you personally. The difference is that the perceived reality is internal, meaning it's happening in your own head.
bro i’m so sorry. nobody deserves this. i was just bored on youtube and i didn’t know what schizophrenia was like.
Very true. Watching this stressed me out and i myself thought something was out to get me, the video is very accurate and similar to my experience.
I had this too, it is hard, but I'm starting to recover, I have to be strong to control myself not my mind controlling me. I take medication and healthy lifestyle, going outside of your comfort zone, doing new good things, and especially having someone beside you, to lean on, like friend a pet, a family or a gf or bf. Take things, take life not so seriously... And play a game with your mind to make things fun instead of depressing. It is really hard, but I want to get out of this so I will try everything..

i've been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia back in 2019, that was the worst year of my life seeing my mother cry when i got in the mental hospital, i suffered sleepless nights and could hear voices in my head saying that i should hurt my mom and my dog, but thank god i didn't do anything because i couldn't bear the thought of doing something like that, with the help of my psychiatrist, everything is fine now, my life was back to normal but there was this time that i realised that i might've had it since young age but it wasn't that serious back then i had this delusions that i would die from the smallest things like eating too much sweets or getting a cold, and not only that but i couldn't stop thinking to myself that someone was following me or to kidnap me
which made me feel paranoid a lot, even when there was this time i could swear that when i was running i would see a man winking at me but i wasn't sure if he did and that thought went it to my mind a lot of times
and i was too scared to tell my parents of fear something bad might've happen, but after years i feel much better now that i seeked help and took my medicines...i feel much better than before thanks to my family.
Thank you so much for reading and always share with your family if there is something wrong that you feel

This is pretty much me off meds. I've seen my food moving, my coffee smelling like poison. The voices, the hallucination. Its not an easy life. I probably shouldn't have even watched this, it's pretty triggering for me. But I'm ghb lad there is a video like this out there to show people what it's like.
I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia. It seems like the whole world is against you and trying to harm you . You know its unreal but you cant help yourself. I'm right now trying to use these voices encourage me to get better every day of my life. Hope this will work because meds don't.
So I talk to myself because I hear my.voice in my.head say things but it's not me doing it. It's my voice but it says stuff I don't choose for it to say. I'm curious if you hear your own voice or some one else's
@@BlackWidow187 I have schizophrenia and hearing your own voice is completely normal. With schizophrenia you hear other peoples voices outside your head.

It's all in our head. In 2019 I thought I lived in a kind of Matrix (similar to the 1999 movie). I read emails that gave me "signals". The bath water itself looked like it wanted to explain why it was liquid, the sound of the neighbors were answers to questions he was asking at the time. Basically all I was experiencing and hearing was signals to my responses. I saw the world in a way that seemed real and that only I knew that this was happening. It all felt real and true. I was actually in a psychotic state. I was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder. I was hospitalized for 7 days. I had quick improvements. I took some medication (light). And I was fine. After that event and realizing what had happened to me, I entered a more depressive phase (it's normal). But with the help of a psychiatrist, in a few months I stayed. The real me. Who knows what life is and who can perfectly understand what happened to him and who can look back in 2022 not with fear but with the awareness that he passed a false "experience" but deep down the experience is incredible, too bad it's all from our head.

Seeing my mom in the window with a gun at my face. Listening to murder plans all night long through the walls. Once you hit 4 days, shit gets messy. 100% believing it was real. I'd even test it, I'd think 'there's no way.... I need to see it', sneak downstairs and see the family talking in the living room in weird clothes. Terrible way to live, couldn't imagine.
About 6 weeks ago, after 5 days of no sleep, I slipped into psychosis. I didn't hear voices but I thought I was about to die and I hallucinated quite a bit. I called my brother at 4 am thinking I was going to hell. I thought my wife had kicked me out of the house. I was laying in a yard at one of the colleges crying, so alone and so afraid. I heard a gunshots, and shortly after police came around and saw me laying on the ground. I could barely communicate or understand what was being said to me. Thankfully my brother was on facetime with me and was talking to one of the officers, so I felt relatively safe. It was the scariest night of my life, and now I can relate to people who have permanent psychosis. It is absolute hell and I can totally understand why someone would commit suicide if they had it

Almost every time i enter a mosque and people are looking at me the voices in my head keep telling me I'm doing this wrong or you're wearing the wrong clothes or something like that and when i sat down my heart was extremely beeping
I experienced something very similar to this last night, save for the voices. Full on hallucinations or people I know, having full conversations with them. Very paranoid as well. Was around 1am, sitting outside the Subway on base. Was afraid if I went back to room alone Id be kidnapped tortured or killed by some entity. The walk alone through the dark woods to subway was frightening enough. Finally, I stopped a real person who I am aquainted with. Explained things the only way I knew how. I thought I was having a severe panic attack, that I thought I'd go crazy if I tried to walk home alone, then I asked him if he was real. He said yes. Asked him about the crowd of ghosts I'd been chatting with the past hour and a half. He said they were never there.
Bro that’s wild, did you ever figure out what it was? Had you taken hallucinogenics that same night?
I'd be pretty fucked up too if my life was in 240p.
This video is incredibly well made, and actually reminds me of the Silent Hills PT demo that came out a while back, specifically when comparing the weather man in this video to PT's radio voice. Of course, this video is meant to be informative rather than entertaining, but nonetheless it captures the same paranoid horror.
"Did you hear that, worthless? Weather is coming to get you. And what you gonna do about it, huh?"

I think the worst part about watching this video made me realize I definitely was starting to develop schizophrenia a while ago and I don't know how but I snapped out of it and now I'm so scared I'll slip back into it again..
The voices that talk to me are whispers. I thought they were demons until I was researching demon problems and maybe it's just my own fuked up brain.

I try to be positive but tell you what, I've been hearing everyone thoughts for almost 2 years now, and one time in the middle of the night when I was at my grandmother's I heard her call me by name with her voice from her room but It was all dark and noone was up, right after i went there to see if someone was there (and there wasn't) i started hearing 2 men having a conversation in a muffled voice right ouside the balcony behind the glass door, I could hear them talking kinda like it really was the glass but to a greater extent, so confused, and when i moved closer to the glass i could hear the volume of their voices rise. I swear i didn't focus on that it all came by itself that night in fact I was just browsing like always.... but it's so much crazy shit like I used to see numbers appearing and shit for more than a year and that literally decided a lot in my life.... I know anxiety i had anxiety b4 this and I when it all started I never got to hear other people's toughts about me but i just had mood switches.... In fact, to prove u more, because here now I'm thinking that not only i have mental illness but I'm also fucking stupid to think I have paranoid schizo in an extent, but not only i hear negative things i can also hear good things so it's not depression. This never stops I got to a point in life where i would feel even more good than when i was sane but now im getting down once again due to reasons and this is mainly it. My brain is doing its own in a good and especially in a bad way now and there's nothing i can do about it it's more than anxiety and I want to believe I am not delusional. ITS IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND that the variety of the cases are enormous. In my case my not so normal life from the very beginning to now, plus multiple trauma and heavy use of drugs changed how my brain works, and hopefully i stopped taking drugs and I kinda stopped the process, but I can clearly see that even the more i do and the better i get in life, this won't change and is actually growing. please convince me i only have anxiety so at least i know im just fooling myself being delusional but mind that episode and nono, i remember, i used to see weird shit too like numbers in the sky a black serpent made of dark clouds in the sky and the clouds especially morphing
@@identifyyourself5684 I'm treated for anxiety, I do not hear voices or crowds.
Ok google how do I know if I'm having demon problems
Demonology?
This is pretty informative for me. Unfortunately, my mom had this (she passed) and brother has this. They believe that my dad is always out to get them. They believe he cuts their clothes and did other things to ruin their lives. The irony is that my dad was actually the sole provider for the family. I guess it didn't help that my dad worked for the government (adds to the paranoia ). To the best of my knowledge, I don't think my brother has ever been medicated. At one point I think my brother even believed the entire street was conspiring to help my dad make cuts into the side of his car. Not sure how I would go about convincing him that he has a disease and needs medication ?
I can’t imagine having schizophrenia. I have DID and stress induced psychosis and severe OCD and bipolar rapid cycles. Much of the video reminds me of my own experiences but mine is done by different parts of the brain than someone with schizophrenia. Thoughts don’t sound as internal and vision doesn’t actually change but I perceive it as changing. It’s like dozens of intrusive thoughts at every turn and my senses going in and out and my mind feeding me random words and directions and realities. But I don’t lose complete touch with reality in the same way. I am disconnected from it and going by an alter reality while trying to navigate normal reality. Sounds similiar but it’s not the same thing.
Randomly found this video while trying to look up stuff about psychosis, and the title caught my attention so I went to watch it. I found myself relating heavily but I also know it’s not my experience and is its own separate thing from what I’ve got going on
"and why are you standing in the dark?"
You know he has actual schizophrenia
