My father was severely schizophrenic and took his life around 3 weeks ago because it was too much for him. I know he is finally at peace and no longer suffering but damn I miss him so much. He always told me to watch this video but I haven't gotten the chance to until now. To have a small insight of what was going on in his mind made me emotional. God, I wish I could have done something to help him.

My father also has it, but he takes medicine so he is ok, and he is not as violence as other people get, he sometimes get negative symptoms but most of the time he just listens to music. The most violence he got was in 2018 he would say so many bad words and laugh for no reason, and he would say he will buy a car, a big house and invent his own business but when he starts taking his medicines again he starts becoming better. He starts doing the negative things last year too, but it wasn't that really bad. He takes his medicine everyday. He still sometimes get halluncinations but not that much,

In the beginning God created man for us to be an expression of His will and nature, but in our free will we fell in sin, immediately after the fall of sin we see Gods love revealed when He prophecies about the restoration of the relationship between God an man when He says: «The seed of the woman will crush the head of the snake» , and this is a prophecy about the virgin birth of Jesus and how Jesus will come and put and end to the devil and sin and ultimately the enmity between God and man for those who receives Jesus as their savior, this is fulfilled in the the Bible verse John 3,16 : «For so did God love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life» So if you seek Jesus you will find Him, and if you receive Him as your savior and turn from sin you will be saved ! «For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations» If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f]

The big failure for us as collective fellow community members and a supposedly society of solidarity and care for eachother and ourselves - is that someone actually have to say that. *_Donate._*_ To mental health._ Its extra god damn awful in the US, but it's an issue most other places too. Even among western societies with strong universal healthcare, mental health is severely underserved in many of those places. Often not really "catching" or facilitating help for anyone, until they're "psyciatric care material". And still, many reaching those levels of struggle, go without help, tratment and approproate care.
@neverthesame78873 роки тому
i lived in a homeless shelter. One woman was NOT medicated and she had schizophrenia and was truly suffering. When she was lucid and not screaming, or singing very loudly and poorly, she was really nice and good to talk to for a brief time. I wanted to help her so badly because I knew the shelter was being paid a decent amount of money for her to be there so they didn't send her to the facilities where she COULD get medicated. It's always ALL about money! I think it is disgusting that people care so little about others. They let us suffer upstairs in the hottest days of summer with no AC, AND we weren't, for some asinine reason, allowed to have fans. WTF?

There is not enough funding for clinics. specialists, supportive housing etc. Letting people with severe mental health issues fend for themselves.

They certainly are not getting the treatment that need there. It's infuriating. I struggle with depression and horrible insomnia.

The best help everyone has the ability to give someone suffering, is have a conversation with them as a normal person. It's kinda ironic, just today walking to store to buy smokes (bad habit I know) I walk past a semi holiday inn style retreat for people with mental illness. As I walked by a man with fully bandaged legs and in a wheel chair calls me over, he seems ok and lucid so i go say hi. The guys been under a few days isolation due to a mental break (linked to schizophrenia) in which he started to burn himself feet up. All he wanted, was a smoke and a chat. So we chatted for near 45 mins. Intelligent, well centered man., You can tell he would only hurt himself let alone a fly when he has his mental breaks. I can tell by his reaction and the convo, that that 45 minutes made his entire day. Just because we're not doctors can;t mean we can;t give the best medical treatment available - time, company and a smile.

ben Smith Yes! Right on point Ben. I worked at a homeless shelter in Seattle. Looked very intimidating at first.

When you're looked over or looked down on so often, being treated like a human being is golden. I met some of the best people working there. People with incredible stories and talents. Some very ill and some just down on their luck. It opened my eyes and I'm glad I had that experience. Sounds cliche but kindness can make someone's day.

I don't know if that was sleeping pills , anti-anxiety pills or what but she started selling them to buy more weed.... she stopped eating all the healthy food in the refrigerator and had the caretaker buying her cupcakes , cookies all kinds of junk food and crap ..... her mom gained back a hundred pounds that they had worked so hard for her to lose . Anyway her mom got worse and worse started acting like a kid herself getting nasty and vicious.... well there's a lot more to it and tonight she had to hide in the bathroom to get away from her mom who was really scaring her . I tried to tell her number of times over the years to try to get her on large doses of niacin also called B3 . Her mom only just started taking her meds again recently and is not on all of them . She just told me she's probably going to have to have her 302d tonight..... I feel so bad for both of them . Her mom kept thinking someone was hiding in the apartment and has even had the cops there several times in the past few days looking through the closets and what not.... she swears there's somebody in the cell phone giving her daughter commands and she's not referring to Google or UKposts but she thinks there's actually an entity in the phone like a demon .. just very scary stuff .

Same. But in my case it was a woman. At one point it was very strange because she was talking to herself, or I should say she was talking to one of the voices, and at some point she mentioned something about me that no one in the facility would have known. Something about toothpaste. I don't remember specifically but it was very strange. Later on she was screaming and having an episode yelling " NO NO NO" and not wanting to give her address to one of the voices. This thing with her address was a reoccurring thing. As you said it must be so exhausting. They literally never get a mental break, which is already enough to drive someone insane.

"Delusional" is the textbook name for the symptom... Thank you for helping battle the stigma of this worldwide health problem! 😃

In the beginning God created man for us to be an expression of His will and nature, but in our free will we fell in sin, immediately after the fall of sin we see Gods love revealed when He prophecies about the restoration of the relationship between God an man when He says: «The seed of the woman will crush the head of the snake» , and this is a prophecy about the virgin birth of Jesus and how Jesus will come and put and end to the devil and sin and ultimately the enmity between God and man for those who receives Jesus as their savior, this is fulfilled in the the Bible verse John 3,16 : «For so did God love the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life» So if you seek Jesus you will find Him, and if you receive Him as your savior and turn from sin you will be saved ! «For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations» If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[e] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[f]

"What's praying going to do?" I'm an agnostic and don't pray (obviously). However, even I still know what praying does, or the actual comment of saying, "I pray for the people" or "I'll keep you in my prayers". It is doing several things, the most obvious is that it lets the person/people know that you are thinking of them and that you wish them well. I'm not going to teach you anymore, so figure out the rest on your own.

I've lived with schizophrenia for 15 years and this isn't really what it's like, for the most part. The voices are usually relevant to your situation and it's usually only one at a time, but not always. When he was trying to make the boat, that's usually what it's like for me. Also, talking to other people tends to quiet the voices. Makes it easier to stay in touch with reality to talk to an actual person.
@arthouseragdoll6 років тому
See it was completely different for me. I’d hear one voice commenting on what I was doing, another voice saying exactly what I was thinking at the time and at least 4-10 others in the background both voices I recognised that belonged to people I knew and ones I didnt recognise all talking about random shit or having their own conversations about whatever they wanted and nothing I did made it better. I found that any ambient noise or music made it worse liek my brain was turning abstract sound into voices. I almost had a heart attack the first time I turned on my hair dryer when Id started hearing voices because as soon as I did they started just yelling loud AF over the top of the sound of the hairdryer. It’s funny how it can be so different for different people.

The voices would be constant and I would argue with them and I could at times see phyical bodies that identified with the voice and I could feel them touch me. I would talk constantly be fighting for my life thinking I had gained telekinetic powers and people hacked into my eyes and could see outside them and could also read my thoughts. I could hear people say things they didn't actually say and see them do things they weren't actually doing.

It's not something that can be cured, that is the problem. Essentially, this is the person how they are, it's not that they are sick with a bacteria or virus or something that can be surgically corrected. The best response is to alter the person's mind in a positive direction, to have the voices be positive, as they are essentially the thoughts of the patient's mind. Positive thoughts will produce positive voices.

Then accept the diagnosis, and let a few loved ones know. Most important, STICK WITH THE TREATMENT! Rely on your loved ones for help, but realize you will need treatment for life. Regular exercise, a good diet, plenty of sleep, and reduced stress will all minimize your need for medication, but will never eliminate it. Less medication means fewer side-effects, so you'll likely stick to your program. It might take a year or two to really feel "normal", but you'll still have bad days. Let your loved ones know how much appreciate them. All the best!

bob marley Suicide is a “bad” decision because no matter how bad your life already is, you don’t know what’s next. Could be heaven, hell, or absolutely nothing. It’s the biggest gamble you could ever take. This reasoning has always gotten me to stop considering it.
@jeannes16454 роки тому

Carlos Spicyvveiner Maybe to you, but I disagree. If someone told you to pay a heavy price, say $5,000, and there was a chance (they don’t give a specific percentage) that you will like the outcome of what comes next (again, not specifying what happens), you probably wouldn’t take the bet. Except, obviously we are talking about death so the price would be your life. I wouldn’t really wanna do it “just to find out”, just in case there really is a hell or some awful place for people who kill themself. Idk, and I’m not necessarily in a rush to find out.

@@quanding-nbaontnt661well schizophrenia isn't going away, so you more or less can predict the future. With that said, schizophrenics are not bad persons at all, and they do not deserve to die, they are very unlikely to hurt anybody, so they should keep living, taking meds, and try all they can to suffer the least and maximise the enjoyment of life.

Liam Vertal It actually does. The number of fatalities of people with mental illness, especially when they are acting erratically or strangely like psychosis in schizophrenia and mania in bipolar disorder are rising at an extremely rapid rate. A lot of mental health providers tell you not to call the cops because fatalities can happen and do so frequently. When you dial 911 when your loved one is threatening suicide or acting unstable, you will NOT get an ambulance or actual help. You get cops who are taught to shoot to kill if they feel threatened. You're advised to get them to a hospital by any means necessary...even though that's really hard. In some places there are mental care places that can help but they aren't widespread enough. It's the sad truth.

@theskylar1105 років тому
heather c I think you're confused about what hospitals do.. they don't form mentally ill patients, patients that get there are already sick and the hospitals treat them or at least try to. schizophrenia has a very high incidence (1% of society) and there's not much room in institutions to take in all these people. so the lucky ones can stay with family or end up on the street.. also these voices are telling them thing like: "don't trust the doctors, your medicine has poison toss it in the toilet, this nurse is lying to you, you pharmacist is with the CIA, you pills have a tracker that will lead the enemies right to you..etc" so most of them don't comply with the meds and it's no one's fault really, this disease is just a sad reality but at least the majority of them are not violent!

@psalmantha1311 місяців тому
They hardly got it right. Because what really makes it annoying, creepy and distracting is the fact that the voices you hear, KNOW what you are seeing, feeling and doing. And sometimes they would even say the exact words BEFORE you write it down, type it or say it out loud. And then they would laugh at you, degrade and judge you even for the THOUGHTS that pass through your head. And the latter, makes you want to fight with them and convince them that your thoughts do not define you. And the more you entertain these voices, the louder and more frequent you get to hear them and the lesser you'll be able to sleep or have a moment of silence and peace.

they actually did brain scans and when a person with schizophrenia heard voices, the same areas lit up that do when people hear someone talking...(it isn't just hearing voices in their heads, to them, it actually sounds like voices outside their heads.) I did a similar exercise, the tape was made by voice hearers in NZ...it is so hard to concentrate - people with schizophrenia just amaze me at what they do manage to accomplish each day. If you want to try something similar... sit opposite someone, then have a person either side of you talking in each ear as you try and chat with the person opposite you... oh and as a point of interest, a friend who has it said, when he is well, he would rather his voices (which aren't as bad/negative when he is well) than my depression/anxiety/PTSD - yet i was always saying 'i "just" have those things...a matter of perspective but he also knows about the black abyss of depression.....the guy who did the workshop i attended to do this exercise, also told us what he learned about his 'voices' which aren't always voices but can be sounds like hearing rats scratching in the walls etc....he told us where he found they had come from...so fascinating...i hope things like this can spread more awareness, lower stigma and create more empathy to not only people with schizophrenia but all mental illnesses....xox take care of yourselves and your mental health...it is ok to not be ok and to ask for help...you deserve it

I was diagnosed with Schizophrenia in February 2017 and Schizo-affective in February 2018. I started hearing voices in 2021. I had gone off my meds. I was admitted in a mental institution in February 2022. The voices stopped after hospitalization. This year, I had a rough time towards the end of February and the beginning of March. The voices were driving me crazy. I was hearing the same voices but they became homophobic and they were also mocking me about my financial status. I'm no longer hearing the voices.
