I blame mostly stressors and the environment. I think that was what triggered my major break.
I have no family history so I am at a loss to make sense of this in regards to passing down genes. When I was born I was blue and was not breathing, I truely believe this might of kind of laid the path for me being more susceptible to symptoms like these. I also have a progressive neurological disorder which leads to a decline in cognition and can cause similar symptoms that mimic psychosis.
I utterly hate the public perception that blames people with invisible illnesses that say the individual is to blame.
Genetics - there is anxiety disorder in some in my fathers family. In my mums family all are a little too smart and sensitive for their own good, which lead to things like depression, psychosis, being bullied, perfectionism.
Myself - I mostly blame myself. I think ive made terribly bad life choices and wouldnt have had psychosis if i would have refrained from all the stupid stuff (experiments with alcohol and drugs, tumultuous relationships) and self-destructiveness.
Others - all sorts of sexual abuse and harassment, emotional abuse, loneliness because i just didnt fit in this society.
Summary: there were some issues in genetics and environment, but i mostly blame myself for being a dumb ā ā ā ā and getting myself in such trouble that i became schizophrenic.

I donāt blame anybody. The only one I could blame is my biological father, and what good would that do? Iād rather exist and have schizophrenia than not be born at all.

my aunt was schizophrenic. i never even met her but when things get bad and iām delusional i start to think she passed it onto me as a way to punish me (for something?) always terrified me. my auntās a famous case, at least locally. theres a book about her and all

Iām paranoid that my father caused this to happen to me, my illness started when I told my dad about a personal problem, his behaviour has changed towards me,heās sketchy now, then I feel great remorse thinking that he would do this to me, panicky when I think of anyone overhearing me say what I thinkā¦acting bad somehow towards him because of me
Then rationally I believe it was caused by my neurological disease
I have both Schizophrenia and Alcoholismā¦ both on my Fatherās side. I think both are completely Genetic.
originally I blamed the psychosis on meds and doctors. I never heard voices before they put me on meds. the meds made me faint when I would stand, they went to my head. also they affected my ejaculations so I stopped taking them eventually and then the voices started up.
in the beginning I thought the whole thing was an attempt to take my rights away and label me a sociopath. because it was a run in with the fuzz that got me diagnosed after all.
I never blamed marijuana even though I used it some, the mushrooms made me hear voices but they went away when I came down, really that might have been what done it which would only leave myself to blame. I thought I was just using the safe stuff, the natural stuff. also I think my drinking of red wine nightly brought on some voices. and lastly when I stopped eating meat and drinking a lot of coffee led to my most psychotic episode.
genetically we have some issues, some sz and Alzheimerās so that may be at play as well.
I think I would have been fine, no voices if I never smoked weed, took mushrooms, or then was introduced to apās (pill form) that made me faint, also one of my fasts may have brought it on tooā¦i shouldnāt have fasted with that low of a bodyfat.
I never heard voices before I had been taking Seroquel for a while. I donāt blame it either, though.

when i got sick i was bad. i venil everything and everyone. But then I accepted myself as such and it became easier. I stopped fixing on the disease. and you can say that I began to live a normal life
i blame myself entirely,
i was never very social, i always isolated, read alot,
got lost in fantasy worlds,
started smoking, did drugs, escaped reality in any way i could.
now iām here, unsure whatās real.
what the heck did i expect?
but then again, i was always weird. itās only when i started getting afraid and paranoid,
that it turned into a problem.
No one in my family has it I blame no one but the stress in childhood.
Lol I never took drugs as a kid.
I did them as an adult though. But only an adult.
I stilll got it
Iām not sure if doing drugs as a kid vs an adult makes a difference
Itās mostly genetic I think
Stopped blaming me because of drugs. I wouldnāt have done em so much if there wasnāt something wrong with me.
Also how could you blame yourself for what you did as a kid!?? You were too young to know better. Just work on moving forward
