News of Schizophrenia Forum

I remember my psychotic episode, a large part of it was physical. I remember a delusion was that it was anarchy outside because the government collapsed and I heard people talking and hollering outside the bar that was across the street and I was basically spasming, shaking uncontrollably in response to that stimulus. Or when I was in a mall with my brother eating food, a delusion was that people could read my thoughts, during ...

For me, hearing voices is and has always been, about exactly what my voices say to me. But I seem to be alone in my obsession with what they say. I have improved my detailed note taking that I undertook from the very start, into scribing what I call transcripts, that are quote unquote in first person the conversations between me and my voices. There are many benefits to these journal notes. They are helpful ...

My voices introduced something called Adam Secant many years ago, which was a computer (program) that swapped words. So when I was thinking out loud (talking) to my voices, I would say one thing, but I would be told they heard something different. For example, I might say "I really like you" but the person I was talking to (I was told) would hear "I really hate you". After a couple of years, Adam Secant ...

I haven’t been diagnosed by a professional yet. I am in my 30’s and have never heard any voices before. I have been searching the internet to see if anyone has had a similar experience to what I’m going through right now. I have been hearing the voices of my family members in my head since early December. They know what I’m doing as I’m doing it. I hear them repeat what I’m thinking or ...

Hi,

My name is Sam. I was Diagnosed with schizophrenia 10 years ago at age 18. I was a very loving person. I still manage to be employed, and before abilify I would give 10% maybe 20% of my income to starving children in Haiti, Africa. Then I was introduced to abilify.

I'm only posting this,because I've been this wa my entire life, and I've had enough. Ever since I can remember, I've always felt like I was being watched. When I'm in my room, the bathroom, out in public, even if I sit in my closet. My first memory of this was when I was little, and I had to use the bathroom, and as strange as it sounds, I felt like there were giants outside ...

I chose the entertainment And bar scene. Afterwards, I met my wife and we had a son. One night, we were laying together and it was easily the most love I've ever felt outside of family.

From what I've learnt, psychosis is a false perception of reality, which is categorized into 2 kinds: hallucinations and delusions.

1) I believe that antipsychotics are usually prescribed when a person has a paranoid belief. However, I think that psychiatrists rarely bother to check whether the paranoid belief is true or not. They just assume that the paranoid belief is false because they deem it implausible. Consider person A who thinks his wife is spying ...
