Does anyone know much about Mind Inprisonment?

Unusual Beliefs
1

I went schizophrenic some time ago and feel that it’s a form of mind imprisonment from prehistoric times.

Maybe our minds betray us as it seems very hard to believe that there is someone out there like a boogieman or something.

Regardless of what it is the question stands, does anyone know anything about it?

To give an example of what is happening to me currently, it would appear as if I have hallucinations and voices in my mind constantly trying to tame and inprison me. My mind
has entirely betrayed me.

If anyone knows anything about the subject I’d greatly appreciate a response.

One thing I thought when I was psychotic is that the mind is a pretty hostile place when it’s out of balance.

So you feel the things I consume and do on a daily bases may affect how these voices treat me? for example if I were to eat meat the voices may obtain a thirst for carnage or something? (sorry bad example).

I doubt there’s much of a link between what you eat and schizophrenia so I wouldn’t worry about that.

Have you tried many antipsychotic meds?

Are your voices from someone familiar? What do they say?

I never heard voices but i think having paranoid delusions is in a way a mind prison. it prevents full comfort.

I heard somewhere that primitive people used to hear voices. Don’t know if it’s true but…

I think the symptoms are destructive to our general functioning and I think a related problem is that we cannot think our way into a solution. My thoughts are blocked in areas where I need them the most. I agree that the illness has “mental imprisonment.” I just hope someday I will get out of this jail, which I didn’t deserve.

Are you on the shot?

I am a prisoner and my mind is the prison

Thats how I feel right now. It’s withdraw symptoms from a shot I was on. Time couldn’t o any slower. Trying to get it out of my system. It’s pure hell with no end in sight.

@insidemind, please remember that we’re here to help people struggling with delusions, not to encourage delusions or promote new ones.

I have voices too. They change all the time.

schizophrenia definitely feels like a mind prison to me. I did a lot of research when I used to believe it was real. I thought I had it pegged when I found shamanism. I emailed a shaman I found on a website and told him what the situation was, but he never emailed me back. I think psychics and shamans and priests don’t want to mess with us sick people. They probably know they can’t do anything for us. I kind of feel like sz is like an autoimmune disease of the mind. Our minds are attacking ourselves like it’s trying to kill a virus or something.

I think you just messaged the wrong shaman. I found one that specifically deals with sz. And he believes exactly the last part you said in your post. Basically an integration to dissolve the self. Is what takes place.

A lot of times in my psychosis I felt I was being trapped in my mind. Especially when it came to the nightmares the demons would keep me in and not let me wake up from.

Mind imprisonment? Why, yes, I’m married.
