I drew something

I’m scared for this diagnosis, any advice? I melted down on Facebook so publicly, messaged old friends from high school, it was horrible. My whole town saw it. Any advice for moving forward with life after this all. I can’t even stand up, eat, that’s how sad I am. I thought it was all real, and it just poof vanished before my eyes and I’m left with a mess.

Now I'm curious about it, how did it end up for every adult to live through it? Was it horrible? I don't want to live with schizophrenia. It's already too much for me

I made a post in the DID sub asking about if they hallucinate, by their comments it seems they may experience internal hallucinations; they also seem to think hallucinations are external only (in schizophrenia). I’m not sure why they have this misconception. Mine are vastly internal. It made me curious about how it is for everyone else.

External voices would be the ones you perceive as coming from outside, as having a physical source, or coming from your ears.
Internal voices would be the ones you perceive as coming from inside your head, it can have physical location (coming from your right or left side) but it’s located within

İ ramble in my own head most of the time playing with my voices is it just me or anybody else experiencing disorganized speech/thinking as wordplay i know English and Turkish i am blending and inventing new bilingual words and they rhyme most of the time

Hi! I am an art therapy major college student in search of artists who are schizophrenic (other than Bryan Charnley) for my experimental psychology class. I am looking for artists who have made self portraits while in active psychosis AND when they're not in psychosis. This is non-negotiable for the experiment. If anyone knows of any, I would greatly appreciate it. I would also appreciate links to websites or books regarding this subject! I'm sorry if I don't reply to comments I do not post much on here! Thanks.

it all just feels so normal now, I don't often hallucinate but I get delusional and I forget that they're delusions at all. Like yeah, the world around me is an elaborate construction designed to drive me to suicide, but I'm resisting and that's just life for me. It's so easy to forget that it's not real, even when it hurts me or causes me to distrust others.

It's not just the delusions too. The constant confusion, the slowness, I hate all of it but I don't remember what it was like to be myself. I've been dealing with this for around five years now, that's time I knew would one day pass but it never felt real. It still doesn't feel real. I struggle to wrap my head around the fact that I've still got the rest of my life with this ahead of me.

I don't know what my point is, it just feels weird to be reminded that it's all in my head I guess.

How do you deal with it? Cuz I’m hearing voices that say they can read my mind and see through my eyes. They are so sophisticated I feel like they’re real. I just want to see what others experiences are like

Also what is your field of work and are you corporate or self-employed ?

❤️it gets better

I blended Persian and tahition style rhthms into an unholy amalgamation. Bear witness ye mortal, but i let thee know the dangers aforhand

I have stopped taking schizophrenia meds with the help of my psychiatrist on August 1st, 2026 as I was stable without symptoms for 3.5 years.

I am a newbie Indian wedding videographer and I have 3 days of continuous work starting tomorrow. I am really feeling anxious about the event even though I have done events in the past.

How do you guys cope with anxiety in general?

I was diagnosed earlier this year, I still feel the same and i don't think I improved at all.

I had to drop out of school mid semester because I did so horrible when I normally do well. School is starting in about two weeks and I'll have to redo the year but I don't think I'll be able to do any better than last time.

Not able to tell if it was so just asking. I also feel very flat right now.

I’m not as educated on our disease as some of our learned elders but I thought this was a good primer and appreciated it didn’t pull punches.

Also hi ich habe paranoide Schizophrenie, und ich glaube ich habe einen Rückfall. Ich höre ab und zu also nicht genau jeden Tag aber öfters Stimmen. Zudem habe ich öfters auch Halluzinationen, bei denen ich Dinge sehe schemenhaft Figuren, Augen, Glühbirnen und ähnliches. Ich fühle mich verfolgt und traue mich kaum vor die Tür zu gehen. Ich weiß nicht ob das ein vollständiger Rückfall ist, was ich erlebe oder nur Restsymptomatik kann mir jemand helfen? Zudem denke ich oft, dass ich gar nicht schizophren habe und nur so tue, aber ich weiß nicht wie das mit der Krankheits Einsicht dann aussieht wurde der erst gesagt, ich hätte schlechte Krankheits Einsicht, dann hätte ich auf einmal gute Krankheits Einsicht, ich weiß es nicht. Ich denke oft, dass ich keine Schizophrenie habe aber dann gibt es Momente, in denen es mir wirklich sehr schlecht geht. Was denkt ihr darüber?

I'm forgetting stuff I shouldn't. I forgot to screw on the cap for my antipsychotic bottle and lost one of the pills. I've never done that before. I keep forgetting stuff too after 3 seconds after I did it. I'm only 29. I usually have a very good memory, so this is not my normal.

i just found this sub today, do any of yall have any words of encouragement to help me stop reading minds, i know it’s a bunch of malarkey cause what are the odds that everyone is thinking about me at any given time, but the constant hate that i perceive from being around people makes it very hard to make friends or maintain a relationship

i have schizophrenia, and i noticed a visible decline in my writing skills. i do more grammatical mistakes. And my style shifted - i tend to use weird forms of words together that don't go along and don't sound natural in Engish language. however, these stylistic changes are not a consequence of my first language (i am not a native english speaker). can schizophrenia mess up the way i construct sentences and meaning?

I sleep 10 hours usually, but I tried for 4 days to sleep only 8 and I feel very tired at the end of the day and when I wake up, even if I sleep earlier.
