Truth. Some memories are simply gone. My braing was erroring during psychosis, too many things hapenned in my head, so naturally I don’t remember some moments.
I believed I was physically ill while I was in psychosis. I was convinced that an accident I had warped all my organs and bones. It was awful. One day I saw something traumatic on TV and I just snapped out of it. After that it got worse mentally before I was medicated. My father had me convinced I had kidney stones as well at the time, which did not help matters.
Sz to me is disorder of the mind, I don’t think any of us are the same in our experience so it is hard to explain it to people with a definition.
a brain disease primarily. It has a real physical and genetic cause. That being said environmental stresses can trigger it. But i think its important to remember that it is something thats passed on from your grandparents and ancestors.
you said:
i would agree but id change it a little… most of our problems are in our brain.
i tend to take the physical view rather than the metaphysical view of SZ. Our brains are sick…
when the heart is sick you get heart disease. when the liver is sick you get a liver disease. When your brain is sick you get a brain disease. Sz is a brain disease at its core.
These can also be triggered by environmental issues. Stress is not good for the heart. Excessive protein (weight lifters) or booze (alkies) make the liver sick. Etc. Not just genetics.
yea youre right its nature and nurture. our actions cause illness too. I just meant that the seed of illness is passed from generation to generation as well. You could say we water it with our bad health choices and if we do illness can bloom so to speak. maybe i dont have it totally right but they say “like father like son”.
