It seems like everyone here has a history of either unspeakable abuse, witnessing unspeakable abuse, or trying some recreational drugs. So my question is, can schizophrenia just happen to someone? Like they were doing fine, living healthy, and then they just suddenly fell into a big pile of psychosis? Or is it always that our minds are broken for a reason?
Yeah that can happen.
Hello cj9556
I have no history of abuse and have not personally witnessed abuse. I lived 44 years without ever hearing voices. I have never even had a nightmare in my life. My dreams were empty till a year ago not one person in any of my dreams. I had thousands of obes and astral travels but by myself only. a year and a half ago I found my soul name powessy and ever since my life has slowly changed. My dreams are now full of people and they can talk to me. Last year in June the words started to appear and things started to move on my head similar to hairs, I can see them in high frequency lighting. I have lived a really good life and have a wonderful family and eat and sleep good. I do not suffer psychosis or have delusions. I am just a simple person having a fun experience.

I don’t know. Anything is possible. But I think that you don’t just suddenly fall into a big pile of psychosis. If anything, you’re just oblivious to the signs leading up to that psychotic break till it hits you in the face then you don’t realize till later that you were delusional as hell and probably still are.

Wow pob, you never drank alcohol or smoked marijuana or used any recreational drugs before you came down with symptoms?
No. Those are social things. I wasn’t social. I never have hallucinated, either if that matters.
Is it negative symptoms that you have?
Yes. Also I think they call disorganized thinking positive. My main symptom unmedicated is extreme withdrawal.
I dint know where this came from.
Yeah i just want to sleep for like 16 hours.
I stop talking.
Yeah Im going to bed, gnite.
That’s what I thought.
My son. Never touched drugs or alcohol. Never been abused or witnessed abuse. He had just started medical school when he went down with the first symptoms - cognitive problems, depression, motivation, and then a very mild psychosis. Over the next ten years - his negative symptoms persisted, still no drugs or alcohol, but employment and social problems, culminating in full blown psychotic episode and diagnosis.
Same. Sometimes I think about just sleeping for a month straight. It seems peaceful in my mind.

@pob so your symptoms are primarily negatives?
That’s tough. I hope he can get better
It hits like a viper. There isn’t a second to be
prepared for anything else.
I got mine as a result of trauma. Neither abuse nor drugs were a contributing factor.
