Either that or you are in purgatory to your way to hell because whoever is controlling your situation is screwing up.

Google says that cotard is like the evolution of capgras. At first you don’t recognize your family, then you don’t recognize your own body as alive
It’s true in my case. At first I didn’t recognize my family and my neighbors. I think they’re replaced by alien impostors. Now i don’t recognize my own body. Whose body is this?
“you’re part of the darkness, you’re already dead”
Am I a ghost or something?
I have thought that people I met in the Psych Ward and elsewhere were not the people they claimed to be but were “plants” being used to deal with me. I do recognize my own family but I have thought that I was in Purgatory in the past although I could not accurately trace back to where I had “died”. An unrelated belief was that my dead father inhabited my body while I was on Latuda because I was more at ease with women than I had ever been before or sense even though my father who seemed at ease with women at times actually spent a good portion of his life in solitude. I found I was a different person on Latuda than I was on Invega.

Do you think the aps we’re on change our personality? That’s very interesting
I think I should call my pdoc.
He won’t help, but I should report my experience, so that I let him know anything new happening to me.

Cotard’s syndrome is a relatively rare condition that was first described by Dr. Jules Cotard in 1882. Cotard’s syndrome comprises any one of a series of delusions that range from a belief that one has lost organs, blood, or body parts to insisting that one has lost one’s soul or is dead.

It’s strange how all schizophrenics have similar experiences. Now this woman had the same experience with me, so many years ago

haiku
Έχω πεθάνει
σαν ζόμπι περπατάω
μέσα στο σκότος
Translation of the haiku in Greek:
I have died
like a zombie i walk around
In the darkness
Cotard syndrome
haiku
Έχω πεθάνει
Ούτε αίμα στις φλέβες
Ούτε όργανα
Translation:
I have died
Neither blood in the veins
nor organs
There’s no question there was a difference in me.

“you’re immortal dead.
Only dead don’t die”
Everytime I think that I dont exist I pinch myself,
Or inflict some type of small pain,
And when I feel that pain I tell myself,
I exist, otherwise I wouldn’t have felt that feeling

That sounds smart move.
But it seems I’m somewhere in the middle between death and life. I don’t know.
I should report my experience to my pdoc.
But i haven’t found the courage yet

Maybe you FEEL like you dont exist,
Like, you’re searching for some type of feeling.
Maybe once you find this feeling that you’re looking for (POSITIVE feeling; love, compassion, motivation, ambition, happiness, etc) then maybe you’ll feel like you exist?

Nah, it’s been 3 days now that I feel like i don’t exist. I have no feelings. Just this deep conviction. Maybe I should up my clozapine.
Yeah, see what your pdoc says.

You exist as much as I do. Wait a minute, I guess you don’t exist.
