You are totally amazing how you communicate & reassure others on such a “taboo” mental illness. Love to you & your beautiful children & partner. X 🤗💞💫
Completely. We as a society have soooo much to learn from people like her. Bless this woman and her courage to be frank with all of us.
I didn't understand schizophrenia, other than paranoia, until I watch Ryan Reynold's movie called The Voices. Maybe it doesn't explained the whole thing, but it made me understand it a little bit better.
Poor girl...
👏👏Bravo!! ❤
I've been through all this bs and literally did yoga and mantras and it went away. She's basically psychic but tuned into the armpit 4d realm where all the creatures and weird ass residual kooky energy and thought forms reside. We're going places folks 🎉
I have never heard schizophrenia described first-hand, thank you for helping me to understand more deeply. I can't imagine living with all of those symptoms, much less how scary they might be. Your courage and confidence are inspiring!
I living with these thing
Well said! I feel the same way!
Can you tell me what you thought it was before you heard this video,?Some people have paranoid schizophrenia and it's far worse and they live in a world of total fear and hide away with their blinds down and hide under their bed covers because their brain terrifies them,they stay away from others and it's very rare for them to commit violent crime,99% will hurt or kill themselves than ever want to get another person,they have an unusual closeness with animals and animals seem to be very drawn to these people.
My younger cousin was diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years ago. She had just married her high school sweetheart and had a baby. Within a year of her wedding, her husband had divorced her and took her baby daughter to the other side of the country. Even my aunt and her 2 sisters abandoned her. I’ve been trying to help her stay on her feet, but I was also in my 20’s when this first came about and I had no idea about schizophrenia or how to help her.
Anyway, I really appreciate these videos, because it’s given me further insight into what my cousin may be experiencing, since she can’t really verbalize it
Now that’s messed up. I have mental issues and my husband would never leave me.
He left for his and the child's well being. That is what a father does.
@@slugface322no he broke vows
@@slugface322How do you know why he left?
For most people with mental health issues, communicating it is something you learn with time (I have bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD), and I'm so glad you have stayed, since these illnesses do kill people, and isolation is not good ❤️ I hope your sister finds the help that she needs ❤️ also, remember that you can help get her help (or at least try to), but it's not your job to save her ❤️ that's something only she can do, and carrying that weight can break anyone, so don't put that on yourself, and can also contribute to the person not getting the help they need ❤️ I wish you both the best❤️
😢 some schizophrenia is actually clairvoyance aaaand to a degree you are correct medicine can be poisonous. Thank you for sharing and I hope you find peace and energy in the times you are questioning what is real❤
A service dog can help you differentiate with what is real and what isn't. I know a guy who is schizophrenic and it's very simple to train a dog to be able to help you. Stay strong young lady. It's very clear that you have a beautiful soul.
❤ the idea of a service dog for this. Something I have never heard of.
@annoymousme722 You can train them yourself or pay to have someone train them. But most dogs pick up on energy. Everything in life has energy. The simplest command can be beneficial. I'm a homeless veteran and if you'd like to further pursue this idea, i will travel to you and help. I'll be available. I got you. I've heard noises and my dog never flinched. But if my neighbor opened his barbecue grill, he'd alert me. I can help you. Idk how to give my personal information over RUclips but i can help you
I wonder if animals can get something equivalent to schizophrenia?
@@Mimi-jl5ci retired veterinarian here, never heard of it, but brain tumours can cause behaviours that are completely out of character, also heavy metal poisoning, parasites, toxaemia, end stage liver disease, that appear delusional, as they do in people. As with people it's good to rule out diseases first. Once I thought a dog was acting possessed, which it had been for 4 years, no other signs. We saw it trying to pull its leg off. We tried pain killers and it fixed it.
It depends.
My best friend deals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and unfortunately a lack of empathy when it comes to animals. She sees them as nothing more than animals, not family.
My mum had schizophrenia, & seeing you managing your symptoms & living a good life warms my heart & brings me joy. I'm really happy for you. Much love from Canada. 😊
@beapower7045 you are super handsome ❤
My best friend/little brother has paranoid schizophrenia and was diagnosed a few years ago.
It’s such a misunderstood thing. People always assume someone with schizophrenia is a psychopath or a dangerous criminal, when in reality he’s one of the smartest, most sweetest kids I know. Even I look up to him sometimes.
I think people need to learn to be more open minded and hear other people’s stories before judging. Sure, sometimes when he tells me his delusions or his paranoia thoughts they worry me, but that doesn’t mean he’s harmful and that goes for everyone.
Never make someone feel bad for their struggles.
You just described my life I thought I was just psychic
You seem to have way sharper communication and cognitive skills than most average folks do and that after facing all the challenges you laid out is a testament to your strength of character. Best wishes.
For anyone who doesn't know (I didn't a while ago):
Positive symptoms are things that you have and negative symptoms are things that you don't have or that you have less compared to other people. It has nothing to do with the symptoms being good or bad.
Ty. Figured she didn't mean good and bad but wasn't sure what those things actually meant 👍
Not quite: positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal function (eg, delusions, hallucinations, disorganized behavior), negative symptoms refer to a diminution or absence of normal behaviors related to motivation and interest (eg, avolition, anhedonia, asociality) or expression (eg, blunted affect, alogia).
@@MsDunkin123 thanks for the clarity
@@MsDunkin123Try to explain clearly what these symptoms mean. You can read this online but if you want to make a useful comment, define them.
@@Bombabingbong66 this isn't a TedTalk. Very limit character availability. It's YOUR job to research more if interested or contact your provider, not mine. Sorry
I am a therapist in Nevada. I have recommended your videos to several of my clients and they feel it is very helpful. I appreciate you sharing your fixed delusions and your story. As a therapist I would love to talk to you sometime and become a better therapist. I have been in the field since 2004. I love the way you are open and honest about your life. You have helped several of my clients and have helped them remain out of the hospital and have a productive and happy life. I appreciate your videos. If you have some time, I would love to speak to you and learn how to better help others.
What part of NV? I’m worried that my husband might be developing schizophrenia, he doesn’t see things but has delusions and extreme paranoia… anyway I would really like him to go see someone
I'm a mental health nurse and I love this video. What I tell people is if someone tells you they haven't been touched by mental illness either personally or by family history, then they're lying or just haven't been diagnosed yet. Depression, anxiety, ptsd and even psychosis are very common. Thank you for destigmatizing it!
She's not schizophrenic. If you watch her channel, she says she's schizoaffective. She uses them interchangeable but I'm sure you know they aren't the same,
Absolutely, two different dx.
@@strangementalitypaperYT really appreciate you mentioning that. Part of her talking was not adding up to me in my head. Makes much more sense with the diagnosis you mentioned.
How can I get someone help that may be schizophrenic but is refusing to acknowledge or go get health
You can call your local police to come out and do an assessment if you feel they are a danger to themselves or others. Otherwise, unfortunately, if they are unwilling to get help not much you can do. Maybe you can make it a condition of living with you if they live at home. People have free will, so you cant really force them.@tiguidankecisse3410
I've been a mental health RN since 1989...and through my inpatient and outpatient career, I can honestly I've never seen such a gifted young lady explain such a complex illness -- in general terms and through your eyes. My eyes welled up a bit at the triumph thru the pain in watching you shine. You are a rare and bright gift to the world, and the MH community. KEEP SHINING and never let the word "can't " hold space in your mind. You CAN. You were are a spark of joy and hope that ignited me today, and I personally am blessed. Blessings always! If you ever want an ear, i would be happy to listen. ❤🙏
I think that it's amazing that you're so self aware of your illness. Love that you're so open.
I support you and the way you communicate so well.🎉
It's not an illness it's a superpower in a world full of fake people
You’re an earth angel. A being with immense gifts to share with others. Sending you love and light 💚
I believe so called schitzophrenic people are messangers
That is exactly what she is!
So I'm just wondering how do you send light? I hear a lot of people say that stuff like sending you Good Vibes or sending you light but I don't understand how they can do that
@@jessj.jesusistheonlyway391 - each human lives within their own unique energy biofield, this is proven and can be seen with science/light cameras, it’s actually an art form first documented and publicly shown over 100 years ago. Our thoughts create light and if one knows how to tap into their own energy field, can send that energy anywhere on planet earth in a nanosecond, which will also create/add light to that humans biofield. If one is religious, you can think of it like a prayer 😁.
@@jessj.jesusistheonlyway391just set the intention and hold your hands up and believe and know it’s done
They are actually there, you're just in tune with a dimension most can't perceive
My heart is with you. My son had schizophrenia and worked really hard to manage it. He passed away eleven years ago. I miss him every day. Continue to do what you are doing. You're amazing.
My condolences are with you, sir.
I can't imagine the pain you must have felt. I'm sure you're an amazing human being and your son is definitely proud of you :)
You're self-awareness is admirable. Bless you. Your sharing empowers others.
information is power
I stopped medication for what is supposedly schizo-affective disorder. To me, I have the same people following me telling me they are going to kill me constantly, and they narrate everything i do. I am better without the medication and knowing how rational i have been my entire life until this arose, I know I have been chipped in my ear and they see what i see and know my thoughts because we speak telepathically
WOW, YOU ARE ONE BRAVE GIRL, WELL DONE FOR TALKING ABOUT IT SO OPENLY.. IT'S PPL LIKE YOU THAT HELP BREAK THE STIGMA THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH PPL WHO HAVE AND SUFFER WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.. I myself suffer with mental health, and hearing you talk about it,helps give me a little bit of confidence to maybe talk openly with my family and friends about it .. SENDING POSITIVE THOUGHTS YOU'RE WAY, WITH LOVE ❤❤❤
I don't have your illness but thank you for sharing your story
Thank you for your bravery in speaking out so candidly. You have a beautiful soul
Bravery is doing what's popular & partaking in the latest trend of exploiting one's disadvantages for personal gain? Good for her to do what every idiot on social media is doing. So brave.
It's not bravery, you don't deserve a metal for having a mental illness
I work in the mental health field and this message is real! Keep being you and share your journey
Agreed.
This is my 15 year old daughter. She has been in residential treatment for the last 2 years. I definitely need to know more. My daughter loves me but hates me because she thinks I hurt her when I didn't. She thinks her siblings have hurt her and they didn't. We noticed something was wrong with her when she was 4 years old.
I have such deep respect and admiration for you and everyone living with schizophrenia..
Talking about mental illness is things we need to talk more about. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, panic disorder and social anxiety and I fight with it every day. Big hugs girlfriend!
What a beautiful young woman, claiming & explaining a very “heavy” illness. You did a beautiful job! Our daughter lives with this same challenge. Thank you for giving this once “covered up” illness and beautiful, relatable, & understandable “face”. ❤
wow that sounds like a very challenging task to live with daily.... keep up the great work dealing with all & ❤everything... Tammy Sudol ❤❤❤......😮😮😮😢!!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Stop medicating your child's emotions and start treating your own instead
@@ejharkness You don’t know this parent, stop with the ableist bs. Not every person with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, anxiety and any other mental illnesses that causes paranoid and delusional thinking are medicated against their will. The original commenter left an innocent comment about their daughter, no need to be so hostile.
@@Dodoorknob Plus they didn't state the age of their daughter. I doubt she's a child.
I had a neighbour who had schizophrenia and he wouldn't take his meds as he also thought that the doctors were trying to kill him, he was paranoid about the birds saying things about him, I always heard him shouting at them, he always would shout things at them like I know what you're saying, it was so hard to watch him going through this, very sad as he was a really nice guy and always used to help me with my garden ❤
I agree, my aunt has schizophrenia and she was telling us that the birds had cameras on themselves to film her and spy on her. She told us that someone comes into her room from the window and sprays poison around to poison her.
And she claims that my uncle poisoned her water. It always happened when she didnt take her medicine. She thinks she doesn't need the medicine and that the doctor wants to poison her aswell. I cant count how many cases happened, thats the reason why everyone in my family distanced themselves from her for safety. I actually had another aunt with schizophrenia, but unfortunately she died after she threw herself from the window. My family suspects that this disease runs in our family. All this happened after her husband cheated on her. That was a small trigger that caused her trauma and schizophrenia. We tried to help but she didnt want to, she didnt trust us.
Thank you for presenting this as an illness instead of people afflicted being called crazy, as if it's their fault or it's a crime or character defect. With treatment, in this video you come across as a very intelligent, articulate normal human being and then you have episodes just like someone who has seizures or unmanaged diabetes. People taking their meds is a huge problem, especially for the homeless. Remember that your spirit and your higher self and whatever you consider a higher power is greater than anything biochemically or organically that is going on in your body or brain! Harness that power and love 💕
I too have schizophrenia you're not alone in this. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Dr. Abram hoffer resolved schizphrenia 75%(?) of the time within 30 days through high dosages of vitamins.(Vit B,...?) DoctorYourself.com can give you more information.
so do i
God bless you I’m going through the same thing❤
I know it’s difficult to deal with a disorder sometimes you feel all alone😢
Me too
my daughter has schizoaffective disorder. You help me to feel that she's not the only one out there and there is still hope
Of course there is still hope don't worry buddy
My brother has had this since 16 he is now 41. The most loving person! I wish our country would catch up to the times so there was more help and understanding in the world! Maybe this Is where we start
My partner was cured of schizophrenia after giving her life to Christ and being delivered from the demons.
The incurable is curable with God, I promise you.
🙄 oh brother...
Oh Honey.... with Jesus Christ there is ALWAYS HOPE.......😊❤❤ !!!
Wow. Thank you for sharing that. I saw an educational video once about the similarities between schizophrenia and psychic abilities. They are VERY much alike but, the differences are very much different. I hope you continue to thrive and live happily.
Yes, the smelling thing I experience it when I was in psychosis. It was the first sign before the main voice spoke to me, usually it have a command order. I only experience this strong smell for 2 days of psychosis. I am still discovering about this challenge. Even though schizophrenia is difficult to deal with I am forcing my self to remember every detail of symptoms, voice, the trauma that caused it, every detail. I need to be reminded of what is passed, what is happening, what is important, and what to look for.
I grew up with a dad who had paranoia schizophrenia. He never ever even knew that I knew I am so glad that you were speaking out and educating people. God bless you.
Paranoid schizophrenia is the most serious of mental illness and very difficult to manage.
Thank you for sharing! We need to get rid of the stigma of mental illness. Your information helps people realize people with schizophrenia are not scarey, just a normal person with some chemical imbalances that can be controlled with meds. Bless you!
I had something hit me when I was a paramedic many years ago. I was thinking, “you know Scott. How do you actually know these people are in contact with a place, we have no knowledge of, but they do?… are we the ones that are not hearing things when we should be?” that hit my head. I changed my attitude towards the treatment of my psychiatric patients 180°.
I have schizophrenia too. I am medication compliant but still suffer from psychosis if things get off track. When that happens I receive an injection of Invega Sustena and it goes away. I struggle with hygiene and motivation terribly. I appreciate your video. Knowing I’m not alone.
So proud of you being medicated and staying healthy. Sadly my mother did not medicate as recommended and it let to severe abuse of me and foster children.
As I child who had to live through that, seeing someone take hold of their mental facilities and not letting it control their life you are an inspiration!
Thank you for humanizing this issue and best of luck living with your symptoms. It’s so valuable to see people with scary diagnoses looking like average people and coping with it. Best of luck! ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your diagnosis , what it’s like living with it and that you know to take your medications. My cousin has Schizophrenia and would do fine as long as she took her medication but she didn’t think she needed it so she’d stop taking it. I hear this is quite common. Wish there was more that could be done about that.
As someone with depression, its good to know that my feeling/thoughts that medications are poison (when im trying to be on them) isnt actually a normal thought. I felt that way about prozac and venlafaxine and sometimes otcs like advil. I am doing therapy now (no meds for about 8 mos) but if i decide to go back on meds, I will file that symptom under "irrational thinking" if it happens again. So glad you are on meds and have treatment to help you manage!
It’s lovely to see someone so honest and open about themselves ❤
My cousin had it. He was the most kindest, gentile person. If I saw him out, I would talk with him and tell him it’s time to go home. And he would go home. ❤
Sounds exactly like a friend I had, Mikey. He would wander for hours so I always told him to go home if I saw him out.
I’ve never met a schizophrenic that didn’t think the medication was bad and stop taking it. Or the meds work so well, once they start feeling great they want to stop taking them. Keeping them on meds seems like the biggest challenge.
I have schizophrenia. I wasn’t diagnosed until thirty one but I’ve lived with it since I was a teenager. It’s not the easiest thing to deal with. I suffer from both auditory and visual hallucinations. Until watching this I didn’t know that smells were part of it. I’m constantly smelling things that no one else can smell, and it’s frustrating because sometimes they are so real to me I feel like the people around me are messing with me by saying they smell nothing. Thank you for making me realize I’m not crazy.
That long and you never even ponderd that possibility?😐
Bless you, no one ever describes it, stay well my friend ❤
My brother is schizophrenic and when he was first diagnosed and really showing his symptoms it was like I lost him. He’d forget we’d literally just spoken while he’s stood in front of me seconds after the conversation. It took a while, some impatient help and two types of anti psychotics and I have him back. He’s consistent and his lovely self again. When he first was hospitalised when he’d call we wouldn’t know what mood he’d be in or how the conversation would go. I’d be tag teaming with my mum quickly informing each other of his temperament. Sending love to you and yours
He’s having some lul affects from his meds not feeling quite right. Currently lost motivation to get up and work out etc. Hope I can get him going again because he really thrives and loves moving and exercising
We were made to feel almost scared of him when first supporting him but we just stuck with him and rode his symptoms. He’s so creative and wonderful I hope he can get back on track with it
God bless you, your amazing & appear to cope well by understanding your mental health. My sister has scixi affective disorder, I'm hoping & praying she's doing well.🙏🤍
Thats amazing he made a recovery, and how you stuck by and supported him. That takes alot of patience (and some luck and dedication on his part). I hope he keeps making improvements.
My sister has schizophrenia but she didn't really recover. We all tried for many years but she had bad addiction issues and never took her psych meds =/ Or tried different ones to see what worked. She basically homeless on the streeets now. Sad but it happens.
Wish the best. GL.
What he do to make you feel scared?
Those pills will turn anyone into a monster Dr's pills are evil
Wow! Thankyou, Please make more videos. Im one of those people who was chicken to know what it was about.
My mommy has scizodefective disoder i pray that mom is oneday able to have a handel on her mental health like you do this is truly inspiring
I truly appreciate your sharing. People need to know more about this disorder.
It's no disorder because there is no standard human being on which you can compare yourself.
I get it. I was misdiagnosed because I experienced the same symptoms when I was diagnosed as BiPolar. It’s the scariest feeling to hallucinate. I’m glad that your meds are helping. 🙏🏾
Manic psychosis is extremely scary, it's weird to try and describe to someone who's never had a psychotic break but talking to other bi polars or scitzo affective ppl is the best way for me to prosses these extremely weird periods of time
I hope you have connected with knowledgeable and patient doctors that help you find the correct medication(s) to help you manage your illness. That can be quite difficult at first, but hang in there. Best wishes to you.
Schizo affective disorder?
❤ luck to you. Some can't have such insight.
That must be so difficult. You seem to have a good attitude.
Keep being you nice lady. You deserve to be happy. Be well🙏🏽💯😊
Be very very proud of yourself. Not many people will ever know or or even begin to understand how hard you have worked to get yourself to this stage of recovery, People just don’t get it or how difficult it is just to get through a single day with this form of mental illness. Thank you for sharing this video and explaining about schizophrenia. It is so important.
@dc, you did eloquently !
My brother has it. One of his more visible symptoms is that he won’t every drink with ice. Ever. He heard a riddle about a person drinking poisoned ice and decided it was a premonition. We’re always careful not to give him ice in his drinks
I wonder if the "medication is poisonous " thinking is the illness trying to protect itself from being wiped out. Good on you for being strong and pushing past that thinking.
I have schizophrenia too and am on disability and feel like I have no place in the world. You are so brave and very very inspiring ☀️
Do you think being on disability actually hinders you from pursuing your plans?
@@DearestDawn I’m on disability because of symptoms that make me unable to do most things by societal norms like leave my house for long periods of time or not having the awareness to drive or not being able to be in public places or able to speak aloud effectively etc I have 5 diagnoses and all those symptoms add up to me not being very effective in this society. I have no normal dreams I just want to be warm, dry, fed, and able to make art and learn stuff. I hate me for not being able to do stuff people don’t even consider as “doing something” it’s pathetic. My plans are to live tiny and create but it’s not at all what most would think normal or see me as part of the world
@@DearestDawn also with my disability I am not allowed to have a debit card, a savings account, own a car, get a loan, go to school, get married have a certain amount of money at one time and on and on
@@DearestDawn to the US government a disabled person has to live like a disabled person or your not disabled it’s a creepy catch 22 and especially with mental health they would rather you die than to have to keep giving you 800-1000 dollars a month to stay housed and fed
@@ratk0zm0z I didn't know that you were living in Canada
I had a roommate in the mental ward with schizophrenia. She didn't seem distressed and was laughing and talking to whoever she was seeing. It was a room with me, her, and two other girls. We always tried to get her talking and be part of the conversation but she really was like in another world and I hope it was a better one than the real walls that closed us in and blocked the sky.
This video makes me feel better abou5 my own mental health struggles... you are truly beautiful inside and out and I am in full support of your journey
I wish way more people would do this and talk about this very serious physical brain condition that has mental effects. You are very brave and thank you for doing this ❤
Kudos to you for being so open about something that is so very personal. Knowledge is power and you are educating others to understand what they don't understand.
After reading the Washington Post article today (6/1/2023) about a woman named Alice diagnosed with schizophrenia wrongly for decades, if I were you I would consider seeking treatment for Lupus to determine if that will help you. It seems doctors have recently realized brain inflammation and autoimmune disorder may cause similar symptoms as schizophrenia but it is actually Lupus. I only wish I had known this for my twin brother before it was too late.
Thanks for sharing this!
Vegans are demanding animals free products and pharmaceutical companies are switching animal proteins for soy based proteins in many medications. Soy is a major allergen.
I have been misdiagnosed 2x and both times it caused so much issues for me. It's so important to be accessed by a psychiatrist who REALLY knows and understands disorders.
Wow
Exactly. The brain is just down stream from the root causes. Disgusting psychiatrist just love to drug you up without looking for the cause. Brain inflammation due to infections both viral and bacterial etc.. along with the autoimmune aspect should never be ignore. Don't forget our brain has an immune system(neuro immune) that can turn on itself.
I have it plus biopolar its really hard and you are amazing how you feel about it and explain God bless you
God bless you for making people aware of this dehumanizing condition. It’s not your fault like cancer is not anyone fault. Take good care of yourself, live long and prosper.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. My daughter is struggling with the same thing. It's so hard to protect her from herself. 💖
Diet, allergies and nutrient levels. Have all checked and adjust accordingly
Its demons and you can be delivered from them! Repent of your sins and ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Believe he is the Son of God, who died as an atonement for your sins and was resurrected to life on the third day, and is now at the right hand of Father God. Ask him to deliever you from your demons. He will restore you. Jesus loves you so much.
Thank you for talking about it. GOD bless you ❤
@hopewillfindaway9062 I don't think this is very helpful. I do believe it can happen. But even Jesus himself said some require prayer and fasting. It's not always so black and white. On the other hand, I do believe some things are due to genetic issues. Things out of our control. In this case, it is like Paul who said he must bear the "thorn in his side". Many speculate it was a speech problem. Whatever it was God did not heal him of it. But through Paul's weakness God made him stronger to deal with it. So no, this isn't cut and dry. For instance when I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis months after giving birth to my first child, God told me healed me through this illness. I knew instantly he meant issues in my heart and life. Since that day God has never let me down and carried me through every dark day. So no, not everything is demonic and not belief alone cannot purge such things.
@@hopewillfindaway9062 I am a pentecostal so I can appreciate what you are saying. But for those who do not believe, God has shown his mercy and grace through medical professionals. Unfortunately, this could be more problematic for some individuals who are already struggling to get a grip on their mental health. I understand you, I really do. God healed me from depression, anxiety, epilepsy, suicidal tendencies, hearing voices, and much more! Unfortunately for my daughter, she is not a believer. So I pray that God guides her doctors. I get that you mean well, but there is a time for everything. It is simply not her season.
Thanks so much for this PSA. We all need to understand and accept those who are dealing with mental illness.
🙏👍Thankyou for sharing your lived experience. Whilst doing public education, peer educators I've met have explained the 'positive' (+ve) symptoms such as hallucinations & delusions, as being those which are added on top of normal experience, & the negative (-ve) symptoms such as depression & bluntened affect, as those which take away from normal experience. It helped explain that 'positive' does not automatically mean good or enjoyable (although sometime some symptoms might be, in some instances for some people).
Thank you for your OPEN, HONEST, EXPLANATION!! I APPRECIATE YOU! There are so many people who have no idea about mental health in general! ❤
I think it’s so great that u can speak on your mental issues. Most people hide it because of judgement people think it’s not real when it rly is
This was very informative and appreciated. My nephew had schizophrenia, he just passed away in July. His name was Lucas, he was 34. He unfortunately preferred to live out on the streets and got from state to state somehow. He was such a good kid, a great guy but he bought some drugs laced with fentanyl and it took his life. This short popped up on my feed. You did a very nice job explaining it, thank you.
😢that's so sad ❤
Praying you u and ur loss 🙏 im 35 and can relate.
@@SilverBull30 thank you very much 🙏❤️🩹
Sometimes... I don't even know that I am schizophrenic. I think that's the worst what you can have. These times I try to remind that I have schizophrenia and that I have to accept it. There were even times that I don't even accepted it. It was a hard time. Now I am more aware of my sickness and have acceptance of my sickness Believe me I feel much better
Well my beautiful sister has schizophrenia and the drugs they put her on have ABSOLUTELY destroyed her inside and outside...This woman here looks to be very normal to me..May God bless her and protect her and all who suffer from this horrid affliction
Looks have nothing to do with mental illness
I'm so sorry for your illness. I'm sure it isn't easy.God bless you. Stay positive. 😊
Thank you for taking the time to give everyone a glimpse into what schizophrenia is really like for you. I think helping people see a person rather than a disorder. ❤
Your clairvoyant (most of the clairs) DO NOT LET SOCIETIES PROGRAM THATS PAID FOR WITH YOUR TAX MONEY ALLOW YOU TO BE IGNORANT TO WHAT YOU ARE....A LIMITLESS BEING THAT IS A EARTH ANGEL, turn to spiritually and let your soul free!
I was not told I had any of your symptoms...I closed out the world that I have not fit into because I AM AN ANCIENT SOUL.
I pray that you find the truely beautiful soul you are meant to be.
Stay gifted and blessed ma'am❤ AMEN!
You seem really calm for someone with schizophrenia. Well done for mastering it.
My buddy in the Marines had it, be up in the middle of the night looking like he was possessed in weird contortions.
Then he would just walk into shit all the time and smell perfume everywhere.
Once he was on meds, he was like everyone else. Rural Minnesota fisherman type. Still go fishing with him sometimes. You would NEVER know unless he came off them.
@@AugustheatsucksBecause you're used to seeing severely broken ppl where no label actually fits them so the money hungry doctors just throw the schizophrenia label at them. Also there are no drugs to treat mental illness and the doctors profit of of ppl's trauma. So it's really what ppl will call a "dirty bandaid". There should be REAL help out here but there isn't, definitely not in the medical systems.
Im so sorry you have to deal with that. Bless you. I hope you continue to manage it well.
Yup I can relate, I have schizoaffective but my psychosis isn't as bad. I really wish more people understood how the brain works and that yes it can have problems like any other part of your body.
My sister has it too but she's homeless. I pray she would recieve the help she needs.
Hi I also have schizophrenia I have holucionations and suffer from episodes and I also have problems expressing many emotions in normal life it’s nice knowing someone is sharing about their perspective of their illness❤
The most annoying symptom for me is scent. I live with three guys who barely have a sense of smell, so I can never tell if something out of the ordinary is an actual sand or and hallucination.
Ugh, frustrating. I don’t have schizophrenia but a bunch of other disorders and hear and smell things really strongly that often others don’t so I can only imagine if it’s a kind of hallucination hearing someone say no I didn’t notice it and not helping with differentiation
@@CBTB253Amen🙌🏻👑✝️🦅💪🏼😊🕊🕊🕊
@@CBTB253 is Mohamed OK to try too?
@beanyboomer5391 look up Mohammed & what he "actually" did, married, murdered, etc. Not some1 I'd follow...Jesus IS The Way, The Life, The Truth, The Light, & IS the Ultimate Healer!!! 🙌🏻
Pray against the demon of olfactory offense. Demon of imaginary scents, come up and come up. Fifteen minutes of this prayer and I would be surprised if it came back.
You are a warrior. I love seeing people.with mental health issues fighting for their lives and winning.
It's fantastic that you understand your condition and that you've took the time to help others as well respect to you absolutely fantastic 💯👌🙏
I have raised my granddaughter who has had schizophrenia since she was a child (now 24). She is a beautiful woman. My hero actually. To witness her struggle, her courage, her faith….thank you for your courage ❤️
You go girl! I love how you teach people!! I have bipolar depression and it's good to teach people about stuff about mental illness! stigma is so high on meant illness. Thank you so much for teaching others with beautiful smile on your face very grateful thank you!!
I hope everything works out for you, it must be so difficult having this illness. Thank you for explaining it.
Its relieving how you have a deep awareness of your condition . I wish I could say the same about my brother who to this lives in complete denial of his diagnosis.
Interesting to share that, so many of us have only read about it.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be.im glad your medication helps you to manage your symptoms. I hope this video helps others with the same issues.
Brave, strong person! My son deals with this disease too. Sending you so much love.
Thank you for sharing…when you encounter someone with mental illness show compassion and love the same way you would towards someone with a physical illness… I believe nothing is too hard for God… praying God will heal your mind completely.❤
My son has this mental disease. He is on medication to help with the symptoms and they rendered his unable to work, live life, and enjoy life. There are many people dealing with this desease. God bless you and all that are affected.
I don't think you'll ever see this after 2K+ views. But you are INCREDIBLE for being so vulnerable. You're helping humanity in more ways than even you could possibly understand.
Wow. I’m glad you had the courage to educate us. I wish you nothing but happiness in your life
Thank you for sharing, I have schizophrenia myself, the medication let the symptoms stop totally and I am alloud to live a normal live without medication and work. The way you speak lets me know you are still on the path. When I was medicated, I couldn't fulfill a whole sentence anymore, that made me reduce the medication down to zero slowly. I was so slow. Thanks god all my symptoms are gone now totally. The stress to feel and hear everybody you know and you see is so overwhelming.
God bless you. My family has this disorder and I understand your pain and struggle.😢
I’m VERY proud of this young woman. I’m an advocate for mental health and treatment for certain conditions. This is what we need the most.
I can only imagine how horrible schizophrenia must be - a hell. I'm amazed that you are able to deal and even make such polished content.
I admire your courage & strength.
Lauren, I admire you and your level of calmness. You have a wisdom and peace that's innate and I can feel that you're one of the most genuine people ❤
