i think another way to describe sz is 'being stuck on autopilot but out of control at the same time.

You’re own body and brain feeding upon itself and becoming self-destructive. Even while most people around you can see nothing wrong with you.

Hi Gaia. I heard that there are physical diseases which the blood cells attack each other or the body rejects the red cells and destroys them causing a serious depletion of blood cells. It might be a disease like AIDS or diabetes or something I’m not really sure. I guess maybe that other people haven’t heard this. But this is what I meant. To me, schizophrenia is like my brain is betraying me and taking away some of my character traits and my confidence so I often can’t trust myself. This is my perception. But anyone looking at me would not be aware of what I’m going through. I don’t know if this explains for you what I meant.

I just thought of that the other day! My memory/cognitive function is declining. It’s getting harder to manage. I thought of how nice it would be to have a reset button!!!

Schizophrenia is twice as bad as having a splitting headache every day for 35 years.

why don’t we all use this topic to describe “another way to describe”
I think its looking at life and all your thoughts through a mirror
Having an over-active brain. A war happening between brain & self everyday.
I can see the heart and connection here
spiritual warfare?
"So here we are
awake and dreaming
oh don’t look up, there’s nothing there
Tilting and tilting things

It is like dreaming while you are awake.

“Helter Skelter”
When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah yeah yeah hey
Do you, don’t you want me to love you
I’m coming down fast but I’m miles above you
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
Well you may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer
Now helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter yeah
Ooh!
Will you, won’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer
Look out helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter ooh

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah yeah yeah

I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer

Helter skelter
