From the youtube description :
I send this video to all my friends who wanna know about schizophrenia
I saw this a few months ago. Is it really…scary like this?
for some unfortunately…
however this doesn’t even come close to what I experience… it’s not so frightening these days…
but when things are directly interacting with your conscious… continuously seeing everything you do… pressing any buttons they have access to at any moment… all the hallucinations of the mind geared for self destruction… then delusions beyond that.
Stray transexuals outside my door waiting to scissor off my genitals and what not…
Being telepathic with everyone… it’s ■■■■■■. There is no way to document or simulate that.
that was lame…
not even close…
where were the demons…seeing hell
or bugs…or eyeballs in pizzas or the walls and floors moving etc…
and then pushing meds…like if you take them everything is going to be okay…like you are cured !?!
how many people on here take meds yet still have symptoms ?
there are 21 million people with sz…
half of all those don’t get any treatment at all.
this does not represent a day in the life of a sz…
if people/muggles are scared of this, wow you would not last 1 second in my head.
take care
true that man…
@everhopeful i am not anti meds …and my vent was at the video …not you.
take care
As unrepresentative as it might be, it really scares me- and yes I wouldn’t last for day in anyone’s head with this experience and, yes, it wakes the biggest fear I have about the one I love.
Kinda / sorta. But way more terrified and truly =freaked= out during the psychotic breaks. The critical commentaries are similar to what I experience even now. (I was not dx’d sz, however. Psychotic bipolar, severe depression, severe anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD.)
I would like to see my favourite director David Lynch make a schizophrenia simulator/feature film, (that is to say, if he didn’t already, who is to tell?). He is pretty good at not so much merely depicting, e.g. a confused protagonist, but inducing the same state in the viewer as well. Not saying he is to make people actually psychotic of course. In my experience, psychosis has a feature that goes a bit beyond concrete symptoms, a certain dreamlike or unworldly atmosphere. Hard to pin it down to any specific thing, thought it may be captured by the notion of derealization. This made me think of Lynch as a director, he is quite known for creating hard-to-pin-down atmospheres on the screen that can be rather, alienating I think is the right term.
It was not scary. My voices are scary. They whisper and shout. But some things were the same. Like meds or food being poison. But my voices want me dead. They say “it’s poison. Take it all” “go kill yourself”. “That’s a great branch to hang yourself” “you have schizophrenia” “loser” and they are laughing at me.
I’m on meds! High dose Abilify and Seroquel. Meds make me in charge of me. Voices are just an add-on.
I guess this is in a way accurate. I laugh that people think this is scary though. This is what, 5 minutes? When I’m unmedicated my symptoms are way worse and it would be like that 24/7. It’s able to capture the gist of what a mild 5 minutes of what my whole day would be like though, I’ll give it that…
