She had us in the first half, not gonna lie 😂
Omg! She sure did! 😂
Holy shit 3/5 I'm scared
😂
She DID I was like 😮
Nah, I knew these were normal things people do sometimes lol
Do not scare me like that ever again.
I got so scared there too! It is a bit cruel
they do bread the air in and out
Hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I was saying “that’s false every human does that!” And then she specified and I felt happy 😊
Same lol
That's right,us humans rehearse what we're going to say ,going to the doctors etc.and anyone would feel paranoid if your looked at as if you're stealing. Hey
Do you poop? People with schizophrenia poop, so you probably have it too.- Idiots on tiktok telling people what they have
My exact thought process!
@@mariewhiting2380yea we actually do rehearse before that event happens, but here she's talking about rehearsing when that event had already happened, so ppl repeat conversation often
FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO HAS COMMON SENSE AND JUST DOESN'T SELF-DIAGNOSE PEOPLE!
Is this ironic
hyvää joulua, mutta onko joulu todella joulu, kun et ymmärrä, milloin tulet, mutta et ymmärrä mitä sanon joko tuota tai käytät kääntäjää, koska epäilen, että opit suomea ja jos opit, minun täytyy suomea yu pois bozosta
How can one self-diagnose someone else?
@@paollus8575 It's actually a common thing diagnose someone without being a professional or make streotypes to make people thing me fr
@@mega6076Hush, Suomi.
Ma'am you got me, lol
Aaah! I got hearted!
310 likes but 1 comment? Lemme fix that-
Lol
Me, too! They all applied... except the headphones...cause I don't wear them.
I like the “Ouch” knowing it didn’t hurt lol. That’s definitely me!
I say sorry automatically, even when I walk into light poles.
Yup😂
I do, too. Just the other day I bumped into the wall. Ouch But a high tolerance of pain, but that's it. I'm pretty sure But I am AD HD.
Girl! This was such a perfect way to counter these types of videos. Well done!
I feel the phone vibrating in my pocket when there's no phone in my pocket
I start double checking my pockets. Like wt..fuuu
I was like... how is this gonna make sense in the end 😅 nice one!!
yeah I was about to comment "I do all of these but I know I'm not schizophrenic" lmao
I know right? I was about to be in the comments like “this is soOoOoOo misleading how could you?!?!” lol
Same i was like “I can relate to all of these but i am no Schizophrenic”
Every schizophrenic dont think hes a schizophrenic so you have another symptom
@@charles2521 except that's not always the case
@@fruitymarvel That's what a schizophrenic would say.
Just kidding man, relax.
I do all of the 5 things too, thank you for sharing. You’re absolutely right we shouldn’t always jump to conclusions and self diagnosis
This goes for every disorder. Too many people diagnose themselves with disorders like adhd and autism, when their behaviors are just normal
Yup…ADHD is the flavour of the month, they “definitely” have it because they don’t like to tidy up, and are often late!
I always want to cry when the slightest thing makes them “special “!
Beautifully put. Everyone gets headaches now and then but that doesn’t mean they have a migraine. Everyone gets diarrhoea now and then but it doesn’t mean they have IBS. Every psych disorder has symptoms present in normal behaviour. The difference is the frequency and whether or not these behaviours encroach in our lives. People need to stop self diagnosing
euskalduna?
@@anamari9434 bai! :)
Every one has intense psychotic brakes and intense hallucinations every now and then... That doesn't mean they have schizophrenia... Wait.
Exactly, I have diagnosed ADHD, which has many similar symptoms with autism. People will always jump to autism, especially nowadays.. you'd be surprised how many people say that they are autistic jus because they exhibit 'autistic traits' (I've seen people claim to be autistic because they really like a tv show, or they're passionate about their hobbies, or they feel anxious, or they can't focus) which are very normal, and some are traits of autism, but also traits of so many other illnesses and disorders. I can't wait for all the people who claim to be autistic just because they saw a video on tik tok and did a quick google search to grow up. I hope they feel ashamed at how they made terms like autism, anxiety, depression, mental illness, etc.. seem watered down.
@@thiskindasucks3536 there is some evidence that indicates there isn't any overlap with ADHD and autism. If you have any of these "over lapping" symptoms you just have both. But it's hard to say for sure with our current level of technology. It could be argued that some people with ADHD that have autistic traits are sub clinical for autism and it doesn't really need to be addressed clinically.
You really caught my attention with the shoplifting paranoia 😂
I was gone say oh she talking about black people 😂
some do think you're shoplifting though....
I have this "paranoia" when my s.o is shopping with me/us because he has tattoos all over his arms and legs. you can clearly tell these tattoos are from prison. good work,but even good work you can tell prison vs street work.
we took the kids shoe and backpack shopping for school the other day and when we walked in they had someone go to the front of the store until we went to the register. one of the other workers was gliding up and down the aisles we went to. we went to the other side of the store and he done it there too. I've gotten tired of feeling paranoid and I test them now to "confirm" a couple days later I return with my oldest because he wasn't with us when we took the other two and I made a day out of just him and I. same 2 of 3 workers and they didn't do the following us and they didn't have anyone stand at the front of the store that time.
I knew where this was going and I was smiling the whole time. Well done! My daughter needs to heed this advice. She believe the internet over a doctor and it drives me nuts, I mean crazy. Oh hell you know what I mean.
I do all these things! Have been cleared of not having schizophrenia by a professional - I was worried about it due to my mom. Great point with this vid!
Awesome. Love the surprise ending! Such a good message.
Mental health is a grey scale. We are all on it somewhere. We're all a little weird in our own ways. It helps to have open conversation about it.
Well a lot of people may not know about this especially here in PH as it was GODDAMN "Zero Care" or atleast 1% of it
the dsm 5 is complete bs. theres no perfect person on this earth and we all fall down to unperfection
Nobody knows what it's like except those who have it. Don't ever say you have schizophrenia unless you have been diagnosed by a professional psychologist/doctor. Anybody who knows true schizophrenia would never want to be schizophrenic. It is truly a curse.
It is not a curse, it can be battled
@@TRIA99My mother has it severely and yes, yes it is. It's ruined her whole life and made her a shell of human but me and dad keep helping her fight and she does push through but it is a curse, my friend.
This is the best video ever, thank you. I hate tiktokencers that guide people without discretion. You are an amazing individual for conveying this problem properly.
This is a great video. You are doing an amazing thing. Thank you for being vulnerable and putting yourself out there to help others. You’re an amazing human 💜
Thank you so much for the self-diagnosing disclaimer at the end! People seem to jump at any opportunity to diagnose themselves with just about any neurodivergency.
The only time I've ever heard of someone jumping to self diagnosis is when people are claiming self diagnosis is only when you jump to it from one video.
Maybe only 2% of the population have a low enough IQ to do that.
It takes decades and extensive research to self diagnose.
@@Glacierlune I’ve seen it far too many times, often without much research done to come to such a conclusion.
@@sernecha0s26
I think what you don't understand is that there is an intuitive function of the brain that is an extremely excellent self diagnosis tool.
When people hear about the experiences of people with certain conditions they experience familiarity with their own experiences. The more expensive the familiarity the more likely self diagnosis is accurate.
You might be confusing that as "little reserch" because you're expecting more clinical style research. Which quire a few people actually do on top of the research into people's experiences.
I will agree that looking up the technical information and reading the diagnosis criteria in the DSM 5 would be very helpful.
Tho in some cases it's so painfully obvious. I had an ex that was clearly paranoid schizophrenic. Having halicinarions and his step mom was communicating to him in code from almost every piece of writing he looked at. Am I a clinician? No, is his symptoms profound enough to be obvious to any laymen with a basic knowledge on the subject? Yes. I was a little more careful cause the one thing I didn't know is if those symptoms could also be from another condition.
@@sernecha0s26 I will say of course not all self-diagnosis is accurate but most people have to self-diagnose in order to seek help for a clinical diagnosis That's just how things work you are not going to go randomly to a therapist that diagnoses the thing you have unless you have a suspicion of having it
Maybe you're talking about how some people aren't very respectful of the caveat "maybe I have x I should confirm" or probably cuz sometimes we don't know exactly which condition it is but there may be something in that range
@@Glacierlunefound the self dxer. 😅
My therapist said I have this and my mom got mad so we stopped seeing her. My mom said she was lying. I’m not sure what to believe and I do these things a lot. But I’m not a doctor so I can’t diagnose myself. My mom said I’m just over dramatic and want attention. I’m not sure what to think.
This got me concerned as hell.. mind you, your videos have certainly helped make Schizophrenia less scary for those who aren’t. If I was diagnosed I think I’d be able to deal with it a lot better. Media has really put this disorder in a questionable light.
Lol I’m schizotypal and have left grocery stores before over the intense fear that people thought I was shop lifting. Scary in the moment, but kinda funny in retrospect.
The smartest video on the internet. I really, really, really hate accounts that try to help ppl diagnose themselves with the most ordinary of symptoms. Thank you, my dear! 👍❤️👏
Oh my God! We need more messages like this out there. Thank you and wow, hahaha!
I do all of these things. Thank you for that last part. I’m still going back to my psychiatrist just in case I’ve been living misdiagnosed 😂
Was about to say. I do all those things lol
When I was hospitalized for my first severely paranoid manic episode i was convinced the only answer was schizophrenia but i was wrong and have bipolar and that bipolar people can experience psychosis and affect level changes. I experience such a wide range of similar things so all psychosis content is always helpful and relatable. I even take the same medication as many people with schizophrenia yet what i'm experiencing isnt fully the same! It took a lot of doctors and many weeks before i got my final diagnosis. self diagnosis can be good for noticing ones mind might not be fully healthy but i would never be able to treat myself on my own without my medical team
I’m bipolar and schizoaffective :( My first symptoms started when I was 12, which is bizarre because it usually happens between 18-30. I know I have these conditions genetically because my mothers grandmother and my dad’s grandmother both had schizophrenia, and my dad and his mom have Bipolar 1 😢
same here. i had ONE hallucination/paranoia episode in the ER and thought ive graduated to schizo in some wild ass way. no, just a new bi-polar event.
As a clinical psychologist Thank you!!
Love this video. It's important to remember to not self-diagnose. Sending love!! ❤️❤️
This was such a great short! I love this one. It needs to be shared with everyone
Thank goodness I watched to the end, I was getting proper pissed off for a moment there! Great message.
Oh I’m so glad to see a twist in a video like this after having to metaphorically detox from all TikToks I’ve seen recently that encourage self diagnosis while listing things that are also things neurotypical folks do regularly. The amount of times I’ve had to almost audibly say to my phone that not being motivated to finish a task is not *always* a sign of disability and can be quite typical has been too damn high.
this needs to go viral!
Your eyes are so nice. One of my very dearest friends has schizophrenia. I 🎉feel she is so much more than her diagnosis though. I wish she could see herself this way too.
Pauses video after list of things.
Types comment explaining basically everyone does all of these things.
Finishes video.
Deletes first comment.
Thank you for sharing a video like this. Too many people self diagnose!
Also, you totally had me going!!! Haha.
Haha beautifully done! If only more creators were as thoughtful about the perils of self diagnosis
imagine being able to afford a doctor
That's what I'm saying
If ypir in the US amd you can't afford a dr, you get medicaid ita free.or a small fee called share of costs
Thanks to biden
thank you for calling out the shallow thinkers so they can educate themselves.
You are necessary in life. I do #2 and #3.
I was very ready to comment "that's completely normal" before you confirmed that is the point. Very well done. Do not self diagnose ❤
LOL I was checking each one off as you went along thinking most people do these. Good dose of reality.
I absolutely say ouch when I run into something if it didn't hurt when no ones around.
Yup! Most of us who were diagnosed as adults self diagnosed at some point. Recognising a pattern in yourself may be a helpful first step.
Your second step, especially if you live in a country with socialised medicine, should be to seek a diagnosis from a professional.
Just like you would with any other illness (situations permitting)
What a fine video, this is true on so many levels. This will cure lot of mental issues
*deletes heated paragraph* 😅
i clicked in this curious, KNOWING my hypochondria would latch onto this, but i couldnt make myself click away because i was curious! the relief i felt, honestly i shouldnt be suprised as you always combat these sorts of things.. oh i need more self control
Such an important message, thank you for sharing.
I was about to be so mad. Thank you for turning this video around to give the right message.
youre SUCH a good woman!
We need more like this
Really great message!!! I definitely get paranoid that people think I'm going to shoplift even though I've never actually shoplifted in my life. I talked to my therapist about this and she immediately was like "Have you ever been accused of stealing?" And I was like "Oh well yeah actually, I was falsely accused once as a teenager and it was really scary and upsetting. " She said "Sounds like that's a pretty logical response then." It made me feel so much better. I still get nervous about it sometimes but understanding WHY I get nervous has helped me a lot. I can't believe it never occurred to me that it was a trauma thing.
Thanks!!! I see similar things said as autism traits when it's really just stuff a lot of people experience. Sometimes you can refuge yourself in a diagnosis and use that as justification for not working on yourself "because that's just the way you are" and it can be really damaging!
I'm doing my PhD on ASD and SHZ and this got me good! 😂 Well put!
As someone with ADHD diagnosed by a doctor, I agree. People are going onto the internet and diagnosing themselves when they really should see a professional
Adhd schizophrenia?
Definitely not the best to self diagnose off of a tiktok, but after seeing a million "adhd people be like" videos, I ended up bring it up in therapy and my therapist said she had suspected that I had adhd and we talked about why. she is the one who suggested I get screened, and I was I bit in denial at first. But after getting medicated, and starting to have a deeper understanding of how to manage my symptoms, I was like "wow how did I NOT know I had adhd? it explains so much!". I know that won't be everyone's expirence, but I am glad people have a platform to share information.
Thank you for the disclaimer. I don’t have schizophrenia. I do get delusions and paranoia sometimes. The masses just get stuck on one disorder and use it as a label for symptoms that can be part of other diagnoses.
As a mental health professional I really appreciate this. Thank you!!!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS I WAS LIKE BRUH I DONT HAVE SCHYTZOFRINIA HAHA
Oh my god, I was literally about to say I specialize in a field once in the United States army under a general and we tackled this issue. Everything that you were saying is something a normal person does and it really felt like I was being gasless. I need RUclips. Damn you got me. I'm going to pinch myself now
i absolutly love this. Some girl was trying to compare herself to me by claiming that she also has "epilepsy but not epilepsy" cuz i kept apologizing for my poor cognitive incidents and she kept saying "oh i know what you mean, thats totally me too." it was more in depth but you get the point.
Lmao, yes call out the self diognosers to seek actual instead of just using online videos 😤 cause I've done this tyoe of thing before on a smaller scale, it's SO easy to take information, see it applies to you, and not get the PROPPER correct information/diagnosis
Great message! Everyone is a doctor these days and that's why we are where we're at today with the mental health crisis
No the information is just more available and research is ahead of what doctors know.
Research is even showing that autism self diagnosis is often more accurate than clinical diagnosis.
Will the doctors accuracy catch up to self diagnosis accuracy? Probably. But often the education standards drag about 10 years behind the research.
People seem to forget that online research is valid. Most of it is put up there by doctors/mental health professionals. So many people cant afford diagnosis from psychologists etc. Also you have the stigma once officially diagnosed. I'm in the midst of this and its scary AF. Utube doctors are still doctors people.
This is scary how accurate this is. Thank you so much for not spreading misinformation. It's nice to see there are people out there like me.
I was diagnosed earlier this year, and its creepy how legit every thing you mentioned effects me.. I'm actually kinda scared to start taking the medication because I think its going to kill me
Not me ready to write a comment about how none of these things are linked to schizophrenia, but then after watching the video this was beautifully done 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Sir whatever symptoms, you have said its all acceptable to me .
I have heard voices coming to kill me. I have had delusion and hallucinations. I was very well in studies but sudden changed occured to me , I would keep spacing out . My behaviour is silent and quiet type . I do not often smile or show emotions it had ruined me . I always felt people talking about me or laughing at me . Due to stress and sleep deprivation my illness got triggered and it finally revealed its full form. Due to this ,i had to take a drop year and now am in well health
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt my phone vibrating in my pocket when it’s actually just my belt moving.
I think this is true of some people, let's just make sure we don't demonize all self-diagnosing as some people don't have access to doctors readily and even if they did sometimes they could be misdiagnosed or told that their concerns are not valid because they present symptoms differently than what is expected (mainly POC and Fems).
What's important is how that person experiences life and possible symptoms in relation to having whatever disorder/disability vs not having it.
But yes, this is still very valid for the cases in which someone simply wants to feel like they fit in whatever mental health issue is trending that week. Great video❤
I am diagnosed with schizophrenia and when I check my phone, because I think it's vibrating. A few minutes later a message comes through. I know for a fact. I feel it when it's written. If none comes through I think about who is thinking of me and reach out to them it often comes true they were thinking of me..
I just got to say that was beautifully done. You got me at first. This is the best way to show. You should not self diagnose.😊
It's great 👍 that you post this informative and useful information. You can help alot of people 😊
I do so much of these things. The ouch is more a surprise reaction. I also have my phone muted for some reason most of the time. I will have conversations and arguments with myself, even in public. I window shop while in a store. I'll pick stuff up, walk around with it for a while, find something else I like better, go and put the first thing back, then decide I don't need the second thing, on the way to putting that back I find something I need and grab up a impulse thing, put the second thing back and go on to find more things to repeat that with without realizing I am now being followed by at least 2 employees who suspect me for shoplifting. I have ADHD+ mild autism, DID, long and short term memory issues from seizures, a TBI (the cause of the seizures), and Frontal Parietal Polymicrogyria which just makes everything else more fun. In order of discovery.
I could easily be diagnosed as Schizophrenic, if my doctors did not know where each of the above problems I have come from and about when they started. As all of the above also is pretty permanent with me, since if I did not have the TBI and the Polymicrogyria, I could get treatments and therapy for the lot.
Wow common sense, such an amazing and simple and beautiful concept, so refreshing to see now days. I thank you and commend you for not making this a self diagnosis video on RUclips in all sincerity.
Giiiiirl I was about to call my doctor 😂😂 you got me good! ❤
Girl, I became scared. I do 2, 3, and 4. Excellent point!
i totally get paranoid that people think im shoplifting!! i really don't like carrying bags from other stores or tote bags that look like they'd easy to steal with. I've started asking to leave my shopping bags at the counter so it removes any doubt haha
That's one of the most relevant and intelligent videos I have seen ;)
Im so thankful for you making this
You had me questioning my entire life. I have enough diagnoses and I don’t need any more.😭
Girl I do all those things and I was about ready to check myself in, you got me. Your point was beautifully illustrated. 💖
You’ve become my favorite advocate for us that don’t function in this world quite like everyone else. But this made me laugh. Thank you!!
It’s true. I do that a lot. And I actually do have schizophrenia. I was diagnosed when I was 12. Now I’m 23.
Oh boy you had me thinking I needed to get screened
Thanks, great message. I feel better
you are the most informative and professional I have run across on youtube over the last four years
I can relate. Very hard to deal with right now.
I'm not going to self diagnose, but I do actually do all these things.
That was awesome!!!! I’m so happy to see someone telling people not to try and self diagnose in such a clever way!
im just gonna add a disclaimer that self-diagnosing from a Single Video is not something you should do, but self-diagnosing after doing serious research to back up your theory is often the only option available to people. people may not be able to get a professional diagnosis for financial or safety reasons. i have a friend who self-dxed with adhd but can't pursue a professional diagnosis because it would mean they couldn't become a teacher. im professionally diagnosed as autistic but this came after being self-diagnosed for 4 years and my gp deciding i probably wasn't autistic and not referring me for half a year based on a single meeting. and because of said diagnosis, i Can't Move to New Zealand. for some reason. so yeah pursuing a professional diagnosis is an incredibly personal decision and someone who has done years of research on their specific conditions is often more knowledgeable on their own mind than a doctor who needs to know about hundreds of diagnoses and so does not have nearly enough time to have encyclopedic knowledge of them all. ill get off the soapbox now😅
Thank you. It's good to hear the voice of reason instead of feverish fear-mongering.
I realize this but I researching schizotypal personality disorder (from multiple credible sources) feels like reading the code with which I am programmed. I felt understood, understood by myself. I know it’s still weird but now I am somewhat confident that I know why I am the way the way I am, why I don’t fit in. I’m willing to accept that I don’t have it if diagnosed in a proper medical facility, but I don’t care very much to do so because it doesn’t bother me that I am like this. I am ok with only being 75% sure this label fits me. And there is a difference between actual symptoms and lying about random things everyone does like in this video. I know ur just doing it to prove a point but like being misdiagnosed for the wrong symptoms os different than confusing some actual symptoms of an illness with similar or overlapping symptoms present in other mental illnesses
That shoplifting thing is so true. I have paranoid schizophrenia.
Omg this is the best tiktok I've ever seen! Thank you x
Now I have two friends that family members had this, one friend relative tried kill her and the mom because they thought they were conspiring to turn him into what I don't know, the other friends relative burnt down the family home thinking it was infested with snakes, there were no snakes in the house , young lady please keep taking that medication, both individuals refused to take the medication, they didn't like the way it made them feel
I had myself diagnosed within about 15 seconds because I do all of those things. Thank you! That was very helpful
I can’t express how much I love this video’s message so much.
She totally had me at first. That’s really good advice too!
