Hello Amber I’m also a woman 39 who’s schizophrenic. You sound very similar to my experiences and I also manage without medication. I am very sensitive to stress and I think the worse of it is the negative symptoms. I did do ketamine treatments which cured my social anxiety completely. I find I have to be extraordinary with self care and diet and I can do quite well. Sometimes I laugh to myself because I’m tall and thin and blonde and people maybe see me and think I’m some privileged lucky white girl lol. They have no clue I’m schizophrenic because I look “normal” and if I didn’t have my husband to work from home and help me I wouldn’t be doing so well. Delusional thoughts are hard, I have to self check and have others check me whenever I come up with ideas. Living off the grid or deciding to get rid of everything to live a spiritual journey lol.

THANK YOU!! I'm so sick of this permeated mainstream belief that schizophrenics HAVE to take their medication because without it they will be unable to function and that medication magically gets rid of their voices. I haven't met a single schizophrenic who had their voices completely silenced by ANY medication. I'm a 38 female who's had schizophrenia for almost 10 years now. I tried the full gamut of antipsychotics and nothing even came close to affecting my voices. The thing that's worked best for me was learning to live alongside my voices by sharing my mind and body with them. I couldn't beat them so I figured I might as well learn to live with them. It's not all roses and sunshine. It takes A LOT of getting used to and learning to cope with losing your mental privacy and having outside entities constantly interrupting your thought processes or judging your thoughts etc. But I function and have a job. I've worked at Amazon for the past 5 years first as a minion, then as an assistant manager (PA), then I moved out to TOM team outside driving the trucks as a yard hostler and I just earned my CDL to go over the road! And nobody even suspects it. If I were to tell them, they likely wouldn't believe me that I hear voices 24/7.

Please copy and save the following comments as they are usually deleted by youtube. There is no such thing as schizophrenia as far as I'm concerned other than when people are on drugs, from my research and experience. There are many ELF waves mind control experiments in the United States today and they have been going on a long time! Look up " Dr Rauni Luukanen Kilde mind control today ", as well as his following (ex whistleblower) video " CIA Dr Robert Duncan Tryone Dew interview", as well as a video titled " Electromagnetic mind control and voice to skull V2K ". Also the following video interview with international lawyer Alfred Webre : "Jay Parker: How 34 million Satanic/Illuminati Americans keep Earth in turmoil " . These are mind control experiments done by people using military equipment and frequencies that can transmit all kinds of thoughts, voices and also take over your brain to get you to obsess over anything that the operators want you to obsess over. It takes a little while to get you to do this and they are ALL trained to keep VERY quiet about it at the risk of being targeted themselves, but as you'll discover by these videos, there ARE people without shame in this world that have technology to play with peoples minds. And that is NO joke. They can watch you around the clock and send you thoughts that you cant get rid of without you knowing about it as well, give you flash backs when they want, read your mind, (they have all studied your past and family) , most people dont realize that they had been targeted a long time with all kinds of bad luck before their operators in their heads finally decided to TALK to them, revealing themselves as angels in some cases, or guardians, or masons threatening to end their lives if they say a word to anyone about it as they can elevate your body temperature from afar to unbearable levels or even accelerate your heart so that you think youre having a heart attack and they'll say, next time you give us a hard time, or if you tell anyone its the CIA or whatever will blow your head off! They even come in to your home and drop drugs in your food so youre suddenly buzzing and you don't know where it comes from! Hell on earth to be picked as a targeted individual and many have ended up in psychiatry because if it! Hell awaits I tell you!!! I have experienced what you went through, and though God may not be able to directly defend you he will certainly protect you against it and I encourage you to pick up the gospel and read the book of John, Matthew, Luke and Mark. As well as transmitting voices to your brain and can also see through your eyes. Believe it or not. Look up 'targeted individuals remote neural monitoring " in all search engines (under images, you'll get more results) and finally this video : " Security industry analysts tells all, Brain Kofron original podcast " > It sounds like you are a victim of MK Ultra experiments that are still happening nationwide. Also look up Dr Rauni Luukanen Kilde mind control today ", as well as his following (ex whistleblower) video " CIA Dr Robert Duncan Tryone Dew interview" (who also hears voices!) as well as a video titled " Electromagnetic mind control and voice to skull V2K ". Also the following video interview with international lawyer Alfred Webre : "Jay Parker: How 34 million Satanic/Illuminati Americans keep Earth in turmoil " The following two interviews are also worth watching, one with human rights Vancouver lawyer Alfred Webre with International scientist Leuren Moret, titled : " Leuren Moret: Global chaos agenda - Jesuits Trump, Pope, DOPE INC & Mexican border; Nuking of USA population, DHS Urban warfare against Americans, Neutron bomb by USA against Syrian civilians" As well as this other interview video titled : "Leuren Moret: Jade Helm, Homeland Security, Domestic Pacification, Weaponizing adult children to wage EMF Mind Control War & The Bigger Picture. I do hope they stop this before they are brought to court! Remember God also sees everything through your eyes!

😮that is very concerning

May I ask are you still friends with him? How can I help my friend?

Say it louder for the mental health system in the back! I'm studying Psychology to help improve the quality of life for these pts, like my Mom. Don't feel pity for the families, feel it for the pts for being dealt w/ a really crappy deck of cards in life. Dont pity me, I've gained a lot of grit from it. Thank you for this comment 🙏

sounds like you are very interested in improving and reflecting yourself! respect, very few people make a sincere effort! :)

@@monavie9110 Thank you, I sure wish everyone did, imagine what a world we would live in.

Thank you so much Dr Goh!!

That means so much JT! Thank you 🙏

It sounds like you need to see your doctor, especially if you've lived with this for 9 years. You'll probably need medications and talking therapy, but the 1st step is to visit with your GP

@@julieharrison4439 My mom is scared in Covid. So we can't even go outside. I'm just 21yrs old and i hope it will end soon. Btw, thank you fpr your concern. I really appreciate it! 💛

@@user-kv1rn6rg7y My uncle has auditory hallucinations. He has a voice in his head that keeps telling him that he owes him money. And he gets 'verbal abused' by the voice that he sometimes yells back and then his colleagues at work thinks he's crazy. For the time being, if you can't see the doctor because of covid, I think talking to your family more helps. When he's on his own, he hears this voice more. When we try to talk to him more, it seems to be better for him. Are you able to have a telephone appointment to talk to the doctor over the phone?

@@julieharrison4439 Talking therapy.... not for schizophrenia. Watch the video again.

@@markevan1 Of course talking therapy isn't enough. Read my post again. I said medication AND talking therapies.

Oh wow Jordan that’s great to hear!! Hope you’re having a great placement :) let me know if there are other mental health topics you want me to cover :D

Thanks Karina 🙏

My younger brother and sister were both diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Two of my younger first cousins are also diagnosed with it as well. My brother and sister both passed away as a result of episodes they were experiencing. It's not an irrational question to ask, and you're not alone in being worried about that. I am 35 now and have never shown any symptoms of either bi polar or anything else on that spectrum. I do try and educate myself on it even after they have passed. I think to try and answer, maybe why they got it, and I didn't. It's obviously genetic, but there are also so many other factors. In my opinion, the best thing to do is try and take care of yourself the best way you can physically, mentally, and emotionally and to educate yourself about it. Don't be ashamed to ask and get help if you need it in any aspect of life. I'm sorry that you and your father are having to go through this. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but there is a lot more education and information on it now. 🙏praying for the best for you and your family.

What could cause it ? Do you have any suggestions ?

What do you think meditation is all about…. Becoming aware of your mind and the thoughts it generates … that’s what creates suffering isn’t it but many aren’t aware of it i guess 🤷

Are you diagnosed with schizophrenia ?

Not quite mate. It’s more that positive symptoms are ‘additional’ symptoms to reality (hallucination is an addition to someone’s sensory experience) but negative symptoms like thought blocking or social withdrawals are a removal of ones experience of reality

Also you’re probs better off referencing dsm5 rather than a KZfaq video haha!

@@DrSyl Thank you for both of your answers. My course is not uni paper and I think this video has a informative value with the medical background as well, moreover, there is a bigger chance that whoever will review my work, will re-check it by playing this video than going through pds of DSM5, even with number of pages given. Well, if I did uni paper then sure, I suppose I couldn't refer KZfaq video tho.

I actually had a psychotic episode where I thought my dad was a terminator

New Follower here! Can you help me?
