Medications are pois9nous ask peter breggin if u want to get fatter and lawyer stay on them
Very brave to come forward with your condition. I once read a book written by someone who looked after a patient with schizophrenia. She said when she removed wheat from her diet she improved dramatically. It was an older book from the 70s I think. Can’t recall the name.
Does anyone have any belief that their minds are being read (thought broadcast)? how do you manage it?
I love what and how you share. It makes me feel not so alone.
What about considering the possibility that the spiritual world is truly real, that there is generational curses and blessings regardless of biological conditions and genetic makeup ; what if just think what if you’re extremely sensitive to the spiritual and under more spiritual warfare than the average person. 👀
If that was the case wouldn’t Satan just want these people to think they’re “mentally ill” ? Jesus lived and died on that cross to speak the absolute truth of what this life is .
I hope and wish you that you get no td or other stuff ❤
In my case my psychosis its obvious at least for me are psyopp thru,from uber ego mattix with structured psychosis, paradigm, psyopp from real people i know, matrix, i believe they Kind of aliens or virus, matrix themselves, from Frankfurt mainstation Chris, Christian is one name and his friends
MEDs abused me and gave me PtSd. From being forcibly injected and having allergic reaction nearly dying. Every time I get injected it stresses me out!! It IS poison , look at all the negative side effects!!!
Ive made a unlisted video of the acted out events of schizophrenia in a short film thinking of deleteing soon https://youtu.be/vBfwEsAaB0Q?si=Dve6jXklCfPKtxOi whos schizophrenic and not your experience would be honored to hear your thoughts.
I smell diesel.. but no one else does
I think schizophrenia is not necessarily delusions.. but it's the simulation program projecting thoughts and visions and smells to certain people, while not revealing those things to others.
It's actually telepathy and psychic attack, what you need is a spiritual guru
It sounds like a permanent psychedelic trip….
I have schizophrenia, for 25 years now. I find "Risperidone" works really well. I hear voices, it's like people in the local community are commenting on my behavior. My dad was SIS Secret Intelligence Service MI6, I can now prove it, I have his passports, it wasn't a delusion. I've also survived at least 17 poisoning attempts and I've proved that as well.
I was a schizophrenic patient. I used spiritual mantras and knowledge to control my mind and to cure myself.
Actually that sounds are real , initially they are not from outside but from our own mind which we later thinks outside. There are some desires which we have artificially suppressed or due to society pressure , we have suppressed.Even though our mind wants it. So our mind rebels and it takes a form of schizophrenia.
Example – We want to achieve some goal but due to outside societal pressures, we are unable to do it. We artificially suppress and inside mind says – that someone does not want you to achieve goal. Someone is making plans to destroy your effort. This increases and becomes mature and takes the form of schizophrenia.
For you need to accept it as it is part of you. Don't hate it, live with it. Meditate. Just close your eyes and understand it is from your brain. Understand the mechanism of how it is from in the sense of feeling (empiric).
Surrender and be u r self be positive 😊
I work in a mental heath inpatient program and to be honest, a lot of those people experience the same things I experience…seeing, feeling, hearing what’s unseen. But I am also a psychic medium. Sometimes I think people with schizophrenia are just really tapped in psychically..but when the paranoia starts, that’s how I can tell the difference. But still…how does one tell the difference btwn being intuitively gifted vs mental illness?
Can you be harmful to youraelf and others? My brother has it ans he doewnt beleive he has an illness. I am somwtimes scared of him when he gets attacks.
Psych meds are poison tho it’s reality not a delusion .
I experienced this in a mental hospital except the psych doctor knew everything about me and knew I was telling the truth about hackers watching me so he diagnosed me with “psychotic disorder” and sedated me with psych meds he gaslighted me and rubbed it in my face that he knows everything about me and it’s because my local police department hacked into my phones and the feds told him my business.
Spiritual warfare
I know a couple of people who have schizophrenia, you’re doing way better than they are. 1 refuses to acknowledge his diagnosis, the other was 5150ed so to speak and I haven’t seen him in 5 years because he’s institutionalized.
"Autism", is my "Superpower"!😢
Your voice is very nice and easy to listen to.
I have paranoid, schizophrenia with insomnia, and I take risperidone and quatipine for sleep
I could listen to your voice all day long
you can see the pain building up
gift seems like a curse but its a gift that hasnt been controlled/mastered
Stay strong…
I want to learn more about
Meds are poisonous. Dr. … I forgot his name has ppl share their experiences on antipsychotic meds like Abilify. I’ll find his name and return. One person I listened to days ago had a horrible experience on them. The psychiatric population who subscribe these poisons are horrific and treatment centers are horrible. There are very few who are reputable.
They are poison look at the side effects and something you see might be real. Something only you can see i hear music alot and when I walk around the house or to the room I hear it in it will just stop
I just cant deal with people
My mom had it, my dad murdered her over it, DV with this condition is no joke, thanks so much for sharing, thanks for your bravery, and fighting the negative stigma. God bless you 🙏🏽💜💜💜
Interesting because psych medication caused mine after I attempted suicide in 2011! They put me on it in the hospital and months later I was seeing and hearing voices. So medication can be poisonous to some of us! I’ve been on most used to treat it and they never helped. Just bad side effects. Spirits and entities are NOT hallucinations. Our mind can not make up something like that out of thin air without an existing template. These entities were created just as we were created. While they may not have an intelligence or consciousness from what I know (soulless), they were created by a race of beings (even humans attempted to in the last century). I can’t prove anything. It’s my experience and knowledge I gathered. They just exist on another frequency plane and those who are sensitive can pick up on them. Unfortunately it can be induced by things like marijuana, recreational d—gs, alcohol, psychiatric meds (read the black box warnings), and other plant medicines people use to have a “spiritual experience”. I think it’s very dangerous to deny such an experience and call it a “hallucination”. But whatever works for people.
