Cotard Delusion-Walking Corpse Syndrome

decided to put this in anti-psych as I thought the people might appreciate it.
it is a seperate topic, I hope cheze understands


anybody out there had this?
I did once and please don't take me as antipsychiatry for the ignorance, but I got over it

got with the program endured going shopping with formations of police everywhere other people who looked like the walking dead too with black eyes and wispy long hair[IO live in a ghetto like area of melbourne], delusions about them being involved in murder as raw as my sensitivity was to these concepts of death.....it was really insane thought and paranoia of getting sent to the loony bin or arrested for disorderly behaviour or making people suspicious for looking like a zombie I was so pale from not eating or sleeping for several days. But I managed to get my shoppping done and home safely.

part of it was death of the ego and the reality of rebirth...death is symbolic of a rebirth, thats why people get grandeur delusions in the wake of initiations and karmic trials and death symbolism...by a kind of supernatural force that wakes us up to align with a good path and fulfill potentials and really getting with it to achieve success, quacks don't get it like I do, so they see me as lacking insight..won't go into it



so I recovered from this condition, by realising most of all "if I don't eat, sleep, and breath then I will die for real! or go mad" going mad is about the fear of the concept and the insane fear of death or death creeping over.

by the way I had this when I was off any psychiatric medication, I got over it, its not a permanent thing if you accept wisdom and maybe a primordial awareness intent....I did chi-gung as part of my healing, deep diaphragm breathing, correcting the posture to allow for the primordial awareness to come into affect, free of distracting self-destructive thought patterns including the fear of going mad or thinking that one is actually already dead. Cooked a fantastic inspired meal like I know I can and settle dramatically and went to bed and felt pretty good the next day! shame that psychiatrist and worst case scenarios in hospitals don't take this into account, even the most acute case can still be a brief psychosis!



its interesting, I hope you find some enjoyment out of this

I could go into what achieving primordial awareness is? I got it from a good book "Shambhala : Sacred Path of the Warrior" and would highly recommend it as an alternative or complimentary treatment if you are still dealing with symptoms of suffering.

What I wrote on websters Dictionary, pardon slight conspiracy theory in action, I hope that is allowed ----I currently diagnosed schizophrenic and trying to clear my name as I know those labels can stick around for a lifetime.

" its about aligning with our god given rite and perfection of being born a human, free from the illusions and artificial NWO of the modern world and disgrace to the very nature of what human really means....bla sanctity of human life and freedom from deceptions of the value sets we adopt at this particular evolutionary moment of society and modern thought that takes away from the magic of existing as an authentic human being."

hope that is helpfull and please moderators dont move this to the Anti-psyhciatry forum, I shouldn't have worried that you thought a drug frreee recovery story would be such a taboo topic

the funny thing is I had to get off antipsychotics to remember it...was always stumped when around the psychiatry movement and they cared very little for my period of 7years without psychiatry, or that I thought I had brief psychosis of some kind or just sleep deprivation

they never listened

would be too humble with a reality that by now they might actaully show me some respect
god damn! awkward or what!?

someone might appreciate that I have been dealing with australian anti-corruption agency, they also have jurastriction over law enforcement offficers.

I am saying that the police will fall into the corruption of psychiatry by taking orders to drag me to hospital!

worth a try I guess
pls nobody jinx me? or jealousy that I getting off and out of psychiatry if you currently locked up with it [even if granted the freedom to take the drugs in the community]

sorry cheze

I still using my "I'm a free man " thead cheze
take it easy please....sorry to say take it easy, it has a vibe in australia...take care

I have done the Cotard delusion. It was during withdrawal from benzos, zyprexa , remeron and dexadrine. It was more like the purgatory delusion where I thought I was in the "waiting area" and I thought all the other people around me were dead as well but they didn't know it yet, and something told me it was against the rules to tell them as they needed to figure it out on there own like I did. It ended that time with drinking then the going to the E.R with anxiety attacks.

cool, but for the anxiety....lucky you didnt let them know....I've had a thing about purgatory but In mine I was destined to be a god of purgatory and hence an elaborate inner phantasy world going into my dream state to pick up on what was going on there lol....but they didn';t like it and blamed me, some managed to escape actually eventually all of them did and wound up tormenting me lol.

funny you mention thinking everyone was dead, were you alone...say that in front of a quack they think the people around you? anyway interesting because the people I sore in purgatory were all people I knew like I thought to myself maybe they will all see me when they die! and thats about it

The withdrawal reactions from all those drugs gave me such horrible insomnia and anxiety. I was awake for so long that I started dreaming wile I was awake and had the cotard delusions. I was in substance abuse treatment and going through withdrawals. Psychiatry has a real good version of blame the victim, when a person has the normal reaction of addiction , dependence on and withdrawal from drugs they prescribe , they declare "you are an addict" as an alibi to dodge any responsibility.

You see the right hand of the psych pharma industry manufactures drugs that cause addiction and dependence and markets them with the lies of biological psychiatry then when a person becomes addicted or dependent on them the left hand of the industry does the whole blame the victim thing, "you are an addict" your fault, you were born that way and have an addictive personality... and addiction runs in families and blame your DNA despite the fact no gene for addiction or psychiatric condition has ever been found, and in spite of popular misinformation.

The middle ground is the dual diagnosis scam, what they usually do is diagnose all the withdrawal reactions such as a Cotard delusion ( but usually just the mood problems that are part of acute and post acute withdrawal ) as evidence of mental illness and keep the person as a consumer of psychiatric medications for life.

This is not an "anti psychiatry" view, this happens to 1000s of people every day.
