Mine was terrifying I saw demons. Than they left and God showed up. I am still in awe of what my mind made me see, feel, hear and smell…non of it was real but I was totally in the episode.

Do religion and spirituality trigger you?
My paranoia is almost solely religious based.

Were you religious before schizophrenia?
I was raised in a pretty strict religion but stopped practicing when I was 23.

I am the opposite. I was raised in a very liberal house, but I became very religious

I manage…some days are harder my big thing is to not drink alcohol. I like that it eases anxiety at first but then everything is worse.

During winter, with severe negative symptoms, i tried alcohol in order to feel something again.
Some days I threw up, and I became disgusted by it.
Yeah it’s great for like an hour and than it’s downhill. I sleep way too much in the winter.

Winter here is tough. Summer tourists have left, there are few people in the villages here, night falls early in the afternoon etc.
It’s really wild experience
I’m in Minnesota we have winter for 9 months out of the year and it is hard.

Oh really? Here in Greece we have most days with sunshine, and summer lasts 4 or 5 months.
I shouldn’t be ungrateful. But winter is tough.
