as a schizophrenic who just saw this at the top of my feed, i am terrified of what this video might say
I hope your ok
The Reddit entries for this video don't seem to be offensive, however I could see them being triggering. I empathize/sympathize with you, even though I've only had an isolated episode. Much love, my friend.
Schizoaffective for me.
I FEEEELLL IT!! I know damn well I shouldn’t be watching this but here I go!
My kid was diagnosed with very early onset childhood schizophrenia, meaning she’s 1 in 40,000 kids diagnosed at 8 years old. She was likely born that way, but was originally diagnosed with autism because they look identical in little kids. We knew it wasn’t the right diagnosis when shadow people were following and touching her. She also heard people calling her name, thinks everyone hates her and are staring at her, and is delusional. It has stolen her childhood. She turns 16 next week and she’s a (in her words) “a frequent flyer ,” in the pediatric behavioral health unit (child psych unit). Turns out my father was schizophrenic and no one told me.
Schizophrenia runs in my family and I’m basically preparing myself just in case I have it!
Something I've heard is that you should probably not use psychedelics as it can basically wind up activating that in those predisposed to it.
@@jaxblonk5127 even marijuana has been linked to triggering bipolar disorder and other psychosis symptoms. So really no recreational drugs are recommended if there is a high genetic potential.
Same unfortunately. My biggest fear is ending up totally catatonic from it like my grandma or just losing my ability to control myself in general
Not diagnosed schizophrenic (suspected, runs in the family) but have had a few diagnosed psychotic episodes. Weed, specifically edibles has thrown me into psychosis a few times, definitely not a good idea :(
Similar situation. I have essentially prepared myself for death of sanity. I treat life as though it won't last much longer than this
I have a schizophrenic ex who developed it after 2.5 years of dating it was like watching someone die overnight but yet still alive.
I'm listening to this as I create files for work and all I can think of is a lot of this stuff sounds really relatable and how I've done some of these things without realizing it. I'm not diagnosing myself, just freaking the hell out.
same here, i’m reading and save so much because it’s so relatable but without a diagnosis i think i’m just crazy or scared about it
same
The difference is that you recognize that it’s your own thoughts. It’s theoretically believed that an extreme, chronic excess of dopamine causes schizophrenia so imagine being so wired you don’t recognize that your thoughts are from you if that makes sense?
Same, and im genetically predisposed.
@@seanmetas423drugs can do that tbh... 😅
*WELL YOU SEE IT ALL STARTED WHEN HE PULLED OUT HIS BUSINESS CARD.*
*IT WAS PERFECT... EVEN BETTER THAN MINE.*
Classic novel Moby Dong
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just heard that part and then I saw your comment.
I remember hearing in Psychology class that symptoms for Schizophrenia usually manifest in a person’s early to mid-twenties. So I am a bit surprised that many of these responders started having delusions when they were a lot younger-under the age of 10, in some cases.
Same here. Maybe there's something going on triggering early onset?
@@jeffbenton6183 Some early symptoms of schizophrenia tend to be categorized as just children and their flexible imagination, on average though, it is usually diagnosed in people’s 20’s as that’s when the symptoms tend to start negatively affecting one’s bahaviour and life.
@@mariakiwi1428 Thanks, that helps.
@Diedra Sounds similar to my relative who has schizoaffective disorder. We knew she was mentally ill when she was 18. She wasn’t properly diagnosed until she was 20 or so, which places her on the low end of statistical range. Looking back, though, it’s clearer to us that she was exhibiting symptoms as early as 13. Back then, though, we didn’t have a clue.
I started having symptoms when I was 6-8, it would be shadows trying to pull me into the walls or a shadow shaped like a devil staring at me- I would tell people I could see the ghosts and devils until I got a diagnosis after my people got concerned about my “ghosts” now that I’m older I smell things that aren’t there and hear footsteps or voices telling me they’ll kill me if I go to sleep
Oh. My. God. I swear I relate to a lot of this even though I've never been diagnosed with a mental illness. Especially the one that said they felt like they had every mental illness they heard about. I thought this was normal!
same but i wouldn’t jump to any conclusions. get a full mental health evaluation from a professional
12:03 Why did that one kid end up in juvie just for talking to a counselor!? He didn't even do anything! I've been out of highschool for decades but is this what happens to kids now?!
I got committed to a psych ward for hold on their highest suicide watch, all because I wouldn't tell a school counselor that my grandfather molested me (he hadn't), and so she got mad and called the police, and later my parents, telling them I'd said I wanted to kill myself.
I was like 12/13 and it stressed me out so much that I was crying too hard to correct anyone, so they took me to a ward and I stayed strapped to a bed every single night and had someone watching me shower, among other things, all because a school hired a batshit crazy counselor.
I ended up at a much better school later, so some are still sane, but I really don't know how some other schools fuck up so bad.
Hey I'm the original poster. Super scary stuff. To make a long story short, it was around the time when school shootings were at an all time high, so I just assume she thought she was "stopping something before it could happen". She was and is a total bitch. My best friend had to sit in court just 20ft away from her and listen to all the awful things she had to say.
@@anathemat-002that councillor was a narcissist
@@OffGridInvestor That councilor was only provably a bad person. Narcissists are horrible people, but it's also a psychiatric diagnosis. Why diagnose someone like they did to me when we have completely different words to illustrate what they did? Words like "asshole."
Now I feel like I'm schizophrenic but ain't nobody puttin me in white sweater.
I rather see the shadows, hear the steps of ghosts and feel observed than sit in Marshmello room with tied arms.
Aww man for real?
@@LCee7 yea

Lmfao same I ain’t putting the jacket on and I sure as hell ain’t gettin in the bouncy house
Why did the first story relates to me but I'm not a schizophrenic
Maybe I don't have it that bad. Much love from Wheeling West Virginia.
Ay, West Virginia gang

I Don’t think I’m schizophrenic but sometimes I hear overlapped voices incoherently yelling at me and sometimes my vision looks slow while my hearing seems fast and loud they often happen at the same time.
Edit: Jesus Christ so many of these are fitting for me
Go see a doctor
Mine started with seeing insects and shadow people and hearing whispers where people weren’t until I was finally diagnosed after being caught talking to a person I thought was there but apparently I was talking to air for about 20 min
When I was younger (like 8 yo) I kept hearing footsteps in the house at night. I would walk out of my room and see that there was nothing at all. I thought I was going crazy. After a while, it stopped all-together. Years later, I come to find out that I wasn’t crazy; it was my dumbass younger brother sneaking around downstairs. He crept from his room to the family desktop to play minecraft.
I don’t have schizophrenia, but I do have insomnia.
Bahahaha
This happened to me! Except it turned out to be our neighbour creeping around our house at night :-) he has yet to stop
mine started with sleep paralysis
Low key kinda scared, my dad is schizophrenic and I have experienced almost all things mentioned in the video. :/
You probably have it. It's alright- you just need to find the right psychiatrist.
see a physiatrist immediately please, it won’t be a big deal, you’ll just have to take a pill or two a day
Having these symptoms on occasion is normal. Having multiple of these symptoms or chronically suffer them you should get evaluated by a Dr. (not online quizzes or internet strangers). Multiple mental health disorders have the same symptoms so it is important to get a professional evaluation.
Please go see a professional.
I think you’ll be alright
That one about the kids who heard voices telling him to burn down his school, and being put in jail for it, hit me. My brother-in-law was in highschool during the 1990s, and when Columbine happened, he said he could understand that being bullied would make someone made enough to kill. For this he was arrested in school, and marched out o the building in handcuffs. Nothing ever came of it.
The amount of fear, and even sometimes outright cowardice, people have about this issue is just strange. If they don't want school shootings to be a thing, change society to that is doesn't happen. Blaming the lone nut is never going to change anything.
EDIT: Moby "Dong"@ 17:54 LMFAO
I was in highschool, about 16 or 17 during columbine. I TOO can fully understand how kids could go nuts. And I think most people BADLY bullied can understand. And the most screwed up thing is schools ALLOW BULLYING TO CONTINUE, but the second you punch someone in the dace after 2 years of bullying, YOU'RE THE PROBLEM and they're the victim. How the hell is THAT social justice? Not saying everyone deserves to die, but the system is absolutely rotten and ALLOWS these things to happen by being so inept for years.
@@OffGridInvestor There's a rumor online that one of the Columbine boys was sexually assaulted by a cop a while before the shooting. They say this was one of the motivators to build pipe bombs in distribute them around the school, so that police responding to the shooting would also be killed.
As far as I know, it's an unsubstantiated rumor. But we do know that things like that happen in society everyday. Perhaps we should be asking why victims don't go on killing sprees more often?
I once heard that the way Schizophrenia affects people depends on culture and/or their society, for example in many western countries it is seen as a horrible mess up mental illness thus people from those countries with schizophrenia tend to manifest hallucinations negatively such as monster like face on people, negative voices and such, but in some other parts of the world schizophrenia is seen not as bad and thus the people from those places(i think somewhere in Asia) tend to have a much easier time because their society/culture as a whole does not associate the illness with something disturbing, but don’t quote me on that i might just be hearing voice.
In Africa they think you're a prophet or witch doctor or something
This brought back memories of my first experience with psychosis. I didn't know it was that until this video. I don't have schizophrenia, but I have been diagnosed with psychotic episodes
Hope you're doing better, stranger.
The voice said "May the force be with you".
god, I now have a terrible terrible fear of schizo
Mine started young, with nightmares I could physically feel that slowly but surely bleed into my reality. I started having trouble understanding fiction was just fiction. I went through episodes I thought the magic system in my tv shows were real. I had hands grabbing me all the time, and it always sounded like I was surrounded by people. I couldn't really understand why people wanted silence because you can hear everyone talking when it's quite and they are meeeeeaaaan. Trees would start to walking around and the giant tarantula sitting on my shoulder petting my face. Reflections always looked different than what they actually were. My mother never believed I was actually schizophrenic so I was punished everytime I showed symptoms. By grounding me. I had to sit in one spot and do nothing but stare at the ceiling for weeks at a time. It was torture! I got poked, bit, punched, pinched, burning, and screamed at all with no ability to detract myself from those hallucinations. Then she had the fucking nerve to say "you don't act like you hear voices, so your not schizophrenic"
@xWiFi_ She was more concerned with what would people think about her as a parent if people knew she had a schizophrenic child than actually helping me. I had to hide it completely and act like a normal child. I started to used meditation to get through it and that had actually help me settle my thoughts enough to function.
Dude tarantula i would fucking jump lol
@@solinvictus2045 it didn't come out of no where. It start crawling up my leg or arm before sitting on my shoulder to pet my face. It gave me time to brace myself.
@@jinx18e I'm not schizophrenic, but I legit have a fear of suddenly hallucinating spiders, like that sounds like a absolute nightmare.
That's terrible I hope ur doing better now ❤❤❤
I can’t live in an apartment or share a house. I hear ppl calling my name and whispering,& sometimes music. I’m bi-polar,on meds therapy and keep stress way down.
oh god... this makes me scared, i sometimes see things in the corner of my eye, and they're gone when i look at them. only happens at night tho, so it might just be my tired brain because i like reading creepy stories.
When is dark or something maybe ?
That sounds normal to me. It sounds like they'd see creepy stuff even in broad daylight - and even on people's faces.
I can't handle reading creepy stuff, especially being religious and having had a UFO encounter as a kid and living in a 170 year old house.
It would be funny if they figured out the visions were real, the people are just on a higher plane of consciousness.
I actually believe this. Perhaps their pineal gland is activated which enables them to interact and sense things beyond “normal” human comprehension but because of the negative stigma of mental health it encourages people to fear enlightenment.
@@bun-e9361 I believe too and I also think a lot more people see odd things but because of the stigma they don't tell anyone.
@@suzieseabee Honestly yess. Trust your gut and never let society tell you that what you're experiencing is wrong.
@@bun-e9361 if "enlightenment" entails hearing voices that make you believe your wife is cheating on you with random people you meet, and you believe your son is lying to about it, then that's not any enlightenment I'd ever want
PS. I'm the son. And I'm afraid to get into a relationship. I don't want to become like my father if I develop the illness, and schizophrenia is pretty genetic so it's kind of scary
@@mattoreo5854 You're right that is not enlightenment because those are perceptions fueled by fear and deception. I am so sorry if my comment has offended you in any way and it's devastating to hear about your father :( It's sad to hear that you feel this way it must be difficult.
There is such a thing as a spiritual awakening which at first has very similar symptoms as schizophrenia but it's important to differentiate between the two and not allow fear to take over your mind.
That kitchen party kid sounds hilarious and it seems like they at least aren't having the worst time.
I was thinking the same thing on how it was a bit hilarious.
Anything in your mind is alright if you can control it. It's when you can't control your mind that you have a problem.
Not schizophrenia, but my godmother was at a party with my mum when they were 19, she was given a pill and my mum said no. Godmother was off her face and fell backwards on some concrete steps causing a traumatic brain injury. Within a year she was diagnosed with rapid cycling bipolar disorder with periods of psychosis. I love her to pieces but unfortunately she’s stuck in the routine of being manic thinking she doesn’t need her meds so stops taking them, drops down hard into depressive episodes and starts becoming psychotic, gets hospitalised back on her meds and then it’s rinse and repeat, she’s 51 now and this has been her life for the last 32 years, most people have cut contact with her as they can’t keep going through the same thing again and again. I get where she’s coming from and being unable to have her own children she’s always been another mum to me, I’ve been the only one to get her to take her medication but with my own problems I can’t look after her full time and it breaks my heart
I have full on conversations with my self when I'm alone 🤷♂️ I'm not diagnosed nor do I want to be
Umm I have spent the biggest part of my life alone. Been widowed a few times. I'm a senior person. I have conversations with myself all the time. Upon talking to someone about it..they said it was just a dealing mechanism for being alone soo much. Basically it is normal. Hope yours is the same.
@@rayshelld791 but it's not like I'm making up a conversation just to have one its random and from what I can tell its 3 different people with different personalities responding like as an example I was running to the gas station for rolling papers and I said i need to get some food (I haven't eaten all day ) and the voice in my head said you dont need to eat just smoke and go to sleep
@@summerfireking in that case, you may need some help. But don't panic. Go and see if that voice in your head is a problem. Hey there is help out there for you. And you don't want that inner voice to become aggressive. Hoping all the best your way.
@@summerfireking sounds like something that can be treated my friend
@@LCee7 it could also be my old eating disorder trying to come back 🤷♂️
AH YES. MOBY DONG. JUST AS I REMEMBER IT
So how to distinguish between paranormal experiences and schiz?
“Schitzophrenics, how did it start?”
Amongus
BAHAJAHAHAHAHA
My aunt was, it started when one night she was dragged out of the house and interrogated for 3 nights straight by the communist regime's special police for not "cooperating". Since then she became different person. When I was a child we were outside and I witnessed her going to an episode she went completely silent and looked like she concentrated on something. It felt like she disappeared and her eyes were weird and empty.
I don't know why it surprised me that several of these started immediately after the patient started doing recreational drugs.
I dont know if im hallucinating but i always do this psssst and then i hear ut my self like the frick and every tume i imagine the thinks like my friends dialogue and its like there next to me
"Ever have that feeling where you realize the voice in your head isn't your own?" Uhhh nah man I can't say I have 😂
Yeah i was confused about that one 😅

Onset of schizophrenia before the age of 18 is called "early onset". It's also pretty rare, and only occurs in 4% of cases.
Guess this is that 4 percent.
Majority of cases 80-85 percent occur between 18-30 yrs old.
Over 40 is late onset and accounts for 15-20 percent.
Men usually develop earlier than women, who tend to develop it between 25-35 yrs old.
What's really hard for family is people who don't believe they have schizophrenia. Just trust me. Know of a few cases
Haha.. imaginary relationships, I can relate, lol
Schizophrenia sounds scary as fuckkk
“you know that feeling when you’re talking to yourself but slowly realize it is not “you” that you can hear in your mind?”
Um no I don’t know that feeling.

I halfway expected one of the responses to be: "I first noticed when I was driving in my time machine, God came over the radio and told me to visit the President, to talk about why my bones were needed on the International Space Station"
i worry i may develop psychosis as i get a bit older, ive already had terrible hallucinations and such from depression. my therapist also thinks i have autism, but my difficulty with interacting with people, i never had as a child at all
These (or at least the kids who are not pretending to"do weed") people are tapped in to the higher dimensions. Either that or the jar with the brain in it got tapped and they don't know how to interpret the tapping.
I don’t have schizophrenia. But I have Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features, which means I do sometimes get delusions and hallucinations. I am constantly paranoid that people want to hurt me despite there being no evidence and I’ve developed a mild case of agoraphobia because of it. It all started after I smoked weed. I believe I was predestined to have it and the weed just set something off that made it happen earlier. Either that or it was one hell of a coincidence.
I have mdd as well I just never told my therapist about my hallucinations. I was to scared to.
@@gfersurvived6622 You should. I know it’s kinda scary, but they can help you. Trust me.
A lot of these involve things like the government tracking and bugged stuff, etc.
Well, it started out being visual. There was a man who would follow me around. It turned out he was the buggey man. I also would hear music in odd places or have perceptional issues. A lot of my voices were trying to kill me as a child. One told me I could jump off the roof, and I would be fine. I got ready to, and my grandpa grabbed me. The hallucinations of the McDonalds characters would come in and out of my sleeping hours. I was terrified of Ronald and friends. I'll say I was quite entertained, but not in a good way. My mom was the only one who noticed it because I was bizarre. I would run into doors and walls and a bunch of other things. My affect became almost flat in HS.
To be quite honest getting a solid diagnosis hasnt been reached. I'm 20 and so far bipolar is one that's been thrown out the most. So far manic episodes can emulate schizophrenic qualities. Sometimes the delusions are so strong. I 110% believed all the TVs and phones around me were talking to me. At one moment when this delusion was happening I saw glitch in the matrix where absolutely everything froze in time. The clocks jumped 2 minutes ahead when everything unfroze.
Me: * eyes widen with horror *
Also me: * looks at the crabs dancing* what the fuuuuuuuuuuck?!
So the first guy is telling me im schizo? im 16 and i get all those signs, and my mums schizo too
Ok, I watch a lot of reddit paranormal youtube videos..so now I'm wondering how so many people have that many paranormal experiences, or is it something else?
Question, is having those type of thoughts of fire and killings a symptom of being schizophrenic?
No, having them doesn't mean your schizophrenic just that some schizophrenics will have those thoughts.
I heard somewhere that it might be a problem depending on how regularly it happens, and that it instantly turns into a problem if You feel the need to act on those thoughts
sometimes im genuinely convinced that people can read my thoughts and are actively reading my thoughts. this has been a thing in my life for years. sometimes when im just cuddling my boyfriend, i think that if his ear or head touches my head, he can read my thoughts. another thing that happens is i hate any kind of camera in a device, i always think its recording me and watching me. sometimes i dont trust the people i live with because im convinced that they have hidden cameras everywhere, and sometimes i find myself looking for them. its kind of scary, but ive always been a bit mentally weird my whole life so i dont know. theres plenty of other weird shit that goes on in my brain that i cant be assed to type, nobody is gonna read this anyway lmao.
Shit , I have this… My twin doesn’t believe me that I can hear and see , I stare and whisper to things that I thought were real
i was all good until they kept mentioning the 'light dots' which i have personally named -,-
THE WESTERN WORLD MADE A SCHIZOPHRENIC AND NOW I AM A ANTISOCIAL
8:17 this is such a fascinating question and answer..
Not funny STOP BEING OBBSESSED OMG HE OBBSESSED HOLY
Me without any diagnosis and scared im just looking too much into things: "eh, this video is probably just gonna show how extreme this actually is, i probably am just going throgh something else"
Me after like a minute or two in: "fuck."
edit: and now i have a diagnosis, i repeat, fuck
Better to know, than be in the dark for 25 DAMN YEARS while people around me knew I had signs of autism.
It’s scary to see how young it starts
God can fix it tbh. Don’t just accept defeat
So everyone in the haunted shows is mentally ill?
idk what's going on but iv'e been experiencing hallucinations,sounds,bad thoughts,and angry behaviour i can't remember when it happened it's happening right now and it won't stop i told my mom about the voices i'm worried my mind is going to shit and i'm scared.
Sending love to all, especially those dealing with this difficult diagnosis. I have it running through my family. Its hard to watch so i can't imagine how terrifying it must be to deal with. Please don't be afraid to get help ❤❤❤
The meds can have side effects. Doesn’t mean that the meds will absolutely have side effects.
I’ve never related to maladaptive daydreaming, I didn’t understand what it meant, I didn’t think I was creating a fantasy land. Now thinking back I’m pretty sure I had kinda strong s*xual fantasies when I was younger and lived trough them online with people I knew. That stopped when I was removed from a stressful situation.
I imagined that I will be a p*rn star and how I was better at s*x than everyone else, which is kinda specific. I’ve been told it’s a symptom of bipolar disorder if you think higher of yourself than others.
Right now I’m the mental hospital because within months I’ve lost all the motivation in my life and can’t do anything, I can’t eat or sleep properly at all. Nothing happened to trigger this, my brain is just fucked. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder last year (2022) after being in psychosis for a year. I hope I can get to stay in this hospital for some weeks because I just can’t fix my sleeping rythm and eating habits on my own. I don’t even go outside, ever, and I have stopped ordering groceries so I’m just eating what ever there is in my freezer, plus canned and dried food
I’ve suspected schizophrenia, maybe mild schizo, but Drs dismiss me.
Great topic but the bad voice to text is too horrible to listen to it.

3:27 I had the same exact thing... but randomly at night.
Sometimes I hallucinate black widow spiders when I open my eyes in the dark. Hopefully that’s not a big issue
If there is nothing to be seen our brain sometimes put things in there just becayse it feels heck confused when alone.
But try to know where this spider thing comes from by yourself first, might be a fear or something about your personality that is lurking around waiting to be answered by self care.
Or something, i'm not a doctor.
When I had bedbugs in my room, I felt like I hallucinated bugs everywhere. A stray cat had kittens in my yard, and ever since then I'll see a random shadow ever so often and I'll think it's a cat.
You might be experiencing hypnagogic hallucinations, these typically occur within the final stages of REM sleep cycle just as you regain consciousness. It’s also linked to sleep paralysis.
@@bun-e9361 is that why sometimes when I'm about to fall asleep i hear voices?
@@DineroSucio754 Yeah, it's nothing to be too concerned about, it's just your brain entering the different stages of sleep. I have also experienced this for years but it's not usually linked to schizophrenia.
Okay, I may.need to go see a doctor.... I do alot of the frist one
Can you do scariest animal encounters?
Moby dong??? 😁😁😁
Moby Dong. Kills me every time
shit i might have schizophrenia
Uhmmm, I think I might have a problem.
The wolf girl may actually have a condition called clinical lycanthropy. I have this myself. Mine brought on by trauma in childhood. And no, im not schizophrenic. Borderline personality disorder plus trauma caused mine.
For those who don't know, people with psychosis cannot do drugs as this makes things worse.
Can you tell me the cure for this
Meds
While on shrooms I relate to some of these. Once during a trip I felt like I could send my emotions and love to a recent ex.
After not smoking weird for a while I decided to smoke a blunt. I was sitting outside and could hear faint music in the distance. I came to the conclusion that it was a chainsaw or some power tool and laughed it off.

Scary shit
those stories are creepy
When I was younger (I was a music producer) I would often hear random music coming from the fan in my workspace or hear different music from music I had already created.. I would then recreate the song as best I could from what I heard. I recorded over 2000 songs, (not all stemmed from this) but at least several hundred of them did. It has been said that a lot of famous people have had similar phenomena happen to them, where they could just hear a song in their head. It's been a while since I made music and haven't experienced anything like that in a while. it was a gift if anything, I really miss making music.
