I watched the whole thing. You did an amazing job.

The first few minutes where you talk about what schizophrenia is and how it is treated is almost word for word what I tell people.

Your particular psychosis was totally different than mine, but we all have our unique experiences, thanks for sharing.

Your video demonstrates a great ambassadorship for people with schizophrenia, and shows to the general population that those of us with schizophrenia are not bat sh*t crazy or dangerous, just that we experience problems few will understand.

Very well done. Kudos! :slightly_smiling_face:

I do have DID and schizo affective disorder bi polar type but my psychiatrist doesn’t want to give me the diagnosis of DID. She says there’s no medicine for it. Most of my visits to hospitals the people were too sick to read. I saw the books behind you in the video and while I spend my time on music I spent many years reading and had successes and setbacks. I don’t know the future of reading for me, I am so burned out! But I am good with guitar and mandolin, a long term goal to keep me alive. What is your YouTube channel name so I can subscribe. I watch YouTube on my Kindle fire.

Thankyou for your video Kimberly. Good work!

I can relate to your illness experience in some ways. Especially how you think that people hate you and also the way you experience voices as a lot of people mumbling incomprehensibly. Also the way you go hunting for olfactory hallucinations.
