i just thought that maybe people who peed the bed growing up may have been more susceptible to this illness.
Trying to understand your logic here but am having trouble.
This reminds me of the time you started saying you were proud to be straight.
i just wondered that maybe peeing the bed when we were younger may have had an effect on our development growing up making us more susceptible to schizophrenia.
i started using the proper toilet when i was 5 before that it was the potty, my friends little girl is only 2 and a half and she is using the toilet all ready, idk why i am saying this i just thought it may mean something.
Thereās another thread right now on neurological soft signs, @asgoodasitgets is wondering if this counts as a soft sign.

Not unless you count a couple times when I was 17 and on so many pills that it was either that or crawl like a snake down a long hallway to the bathroom. But then I woke up in the middle of the night having found Iād sweat so much that it had soaked through my entire mattress.
Funny story though, my brother was a bit of a sleep walker when he was young and my father found him peeing on the wall one night while saying āget out of the bathroom!ā LoL. He also found him one night downstairs in the living room watching nothing but static on tv like there was something interesting on, sitting on the couch completely asleep.
I see. Waitā¦ what? Oh. Huh?
Edit: nevermind, i see the thread.

i just thought there might be a correlation between wetting the bed and schizophrenia, no biggie
i donāt think there is anything to be ashamed of, it was a long time ago and we are all grown up now,
i donāt drink too much beer either bc i never make it to the toilet
No, I know. I was just telling Mr. Blue that this didnāt come out of nowhere. Itās a good question. I didnāt wet the bed, but I wonder the same thing about being a picky eater, for example.

My mom was a good cook 
it was wasted on me, though. She says that I was always super sensitive to everything, noises, tastes, colors, smells, texture. Like I just felt things more than most kids did.

thats interesting, i think iām the opposite, i think my senses were not as good as they should be.
but i think i was ok before i started smoking,
i never had anything to do so i stole money from my mum and bought smokes and alcohol if i was able at the weekends,
i think when i started doing bad things that is what had an effect on me, my conscience was saying no but i was going against it so it was like there was a conflict happening there.
Iām a picky eaterā¦more so as an adult than in childhood. There are a lot of things I ate as a kid that I wonāt touch now, a lot. Iāll try things and I like a lot of different kinds of food but I am really picky. Like thereās only one salad dressing Iāll use, only one and itās basically found only in supermarkets or asian resteraunts, only way youāll get me to eat salad. Wonāt touch a tomato but love salsa, even chunky salsa. Weird. Mayonaise is the bane of my existence because itās so popular, baked into something okay fine, but just spread on something I wanna puke.
Had an employer a few years ago who used to make me sandwiches with mayonaise and I couldnāt tell him for some reason, just make it without the mayo. Met a girl at a bar onceā¦never mind thatās too gross, she was like "you donāt have to like mayonaiseā¦GROSSSSS.
People are wierd.
Yes, I was a bed wetter growing up.
There are connections between bed wetting growing up and certain mental illnesses.

the poll shows just over half of the people that answered had bladder problems when they were young so their may be something in it,
this link is a study on it but there may be better ones out there-
Childhood Bedwetting Occurred Twice as Often in Adults with Schizophrenia
I wet the bed almost daily while at prep school from the ages of 8-11. Luckily it had tailed off by the time I got to public school at 13.75 or my life would have been even worse there (it wasnāt good).
During the period I was bedwetting at school I wasnāt bedwetting at home. Obviously being away from home and in a strange environment was the key factor.

I wet the bed and I often wet my pants when I was around 7-8. When I looked back, I wondered if it was because I was sexually molested during that time. This is interesting, though.
I was a bed wetter up until 11 and it was daily, or sometimes twice a night. It was damaging to my already fragile self-esteem and I kept wondering why. I felt a bit relieved to know that it might be connected to schizophrenia but I just started to wonder if my schizophrenia (or at least its root) began so early in life? And if somethingās wrong with the front part of the braināhigher level thinkingāof those who wet the bed, is that the reason why I canāt think?
I wasnāt a bed wetter.
