Yes to body language. Sometimes when I’m unwell I pull at my hair and pick at my teeth. That’s body language and people tell me not to do that.

Yes to sounds as language. One of the voices I hear makes me talk. So I sound like I’m talking to myself to other people.

No to breathing as language. I only change my breath when I get some aerobic exercise.

do you understand that body language is a constant answer / reply / conversation / accidental uncontrollable dialogue?

above all for language to form complete sentences many one after another for hours?

5

I’m not sure if we are talking about the same thing

i don’t mean body language in the traditional sense : (For example) someone thinking about sex or putting their hands on their hips? not this.

i mean and the sounds i mean are like clattering in the kitchen or walking in heels as language

i mean that if i see someone in the street swinging their arms whole sentences projected with every gesture and myself blinking or moving my head is a whole sentence reply like a conversation - the Schizophrenic interpretations of 'Body language’
not this: i mean the usual stuff that is understood in the English language version of the term ‘body language’

sorry i’m not making myself clear

i mean the usual stuff that is understood in the English language version of the term ‘body language’

hands on hips or something that is an example of a vague feeling of status or sexy or trust etc

basically - not that

i mean that if i see someone in the street swinging their arms whole sentences projected with every gesture and myself blinking or moving my head is a whole sentence reply like a conversation - the Schizophrenic interpretations of ‘Body language’

I use body language when I am paranoid or when I think I can control others with my mind or with my body language.

can you explain ? i think that is different to what i get and what about sounds?

12

actually that is the other end of the spectrum

if you can control others that is grandeur related

i find that i have it like as the dunce of the city and have lots of people making me very scared and small

basically wow - thank you

BODY LANGUAGE

During first time psychosis - I paid a lot of attention to body language - what people wear - colours - movement of arms. It is amazing how it works - but I used to interpret all these in a way that would affect my decision making and thoughts.

Me too!! Everything has significance when I am psychotic.
