My flat mate is schizophrenic and talks to himself out loud. I once saw him do a weird dance in the living room as well, and my other flatmate also saw him dance another time. I know I shouldn’t laugh, but when he talks to himself I crack up laughing. Should I ask him who he is talking to?

You should ask him who he’s talking to, I know when I did it, I talked to my voices.

I feel a bit sorry for him. He’s been like this for 5-7 years I think. And he spends all day living in cuckoo land. I don’t think he will ever get his life back. I think I will ask him who he is talking too. Maybe if he realizes he is doing it he can learn to control it.

I have in-depth conversations with my voice typically about delusions. I’ll loose myself in conversation with it. You should definitely tell him to try and reel it in

Will your voices ever go away?
They’ve actually been gone for 8 weeks I’m just remembering what I used to be like. I expect them back anytime though. I increased my meds in December and they were gone by mid January. I have this delusion that it’s not my meds it’s just the guys doing it to me are taking a break, my voices are really realistic

When I’m alone in my room I talk quietly out loud to myself. My excuse is that it keeps my voice in practice.

When I’m alone I’m always talking. Sometimes I do when I shouldn’t. That is kind of embarrassing. It is too myself or sometimes the people in my head.

The demons are usually the ones talking through me and its not me at all.

You are so lucky to not be treatment resistant. I was that way until I went off my meds for a year. Now I keep getting reminders that I am sza every stressful day.

Yeah the meds worked well for me when I was in hospital from 2018 march to may. After I came out I think it was unnecessary to have them as I literally had zero symptoms.
Oh! Consult your pdoc before making any changes though.

I have strange sayings i have to say out loud or they get stuck in my head. But only ever on my own. I notice i do it more when my jab is due. But i do sound strange. And often worry if the neighbors here me.

I had imaginary friends I talked to until about 5 years ago. The antipsychotic helped me control that. Also they’re still in my mind but I’m able to not talk to them anymore.
