Is this a schiz problem, or not?

I utter complete nonsence sentenses, when alone and make up nonsesical words and rhymes… Anyone else having this problem? Its at its worst when im stresses. Its in norwegian, so it would not be usefull to give examples…

I feel like if you meditated you would understand why you do that and how you would understand that others do that lol I do that sometimes

Like I talk too but I understand what’s going on spiritually

Maybe this is what you’re describing?

I did this when I was in the psychotic decompensations in '94-'95, '97, '99, '02-'03 and '03. Years later (after a lot more schooling), I can see that it was a means of distracting my awareness from what I saw as “intolerable” anxiety.

It took nine years to find the right medication. (Seroquel quetiapine for me. Might work for you but might not; everyone is genetically and epigentically different). We didn’t have the medicate-by-genetics programs we have now back then.

And several more years find the psychotherapies that have moved me to the relatively constant and functional state I enjoy today… IF I take my medication and continue to use the skills I learned from these psychotherapies.

Recommended:

  1. Get a copy of this book and read it and have your family read it, as well. (Torrey can be a bit totalistic and unwilling to see exceptions to his “rules” at times, but most of the book is really worth the effort to plough through.)
    http://www.amazon.com/Surviving-Schizophrenia-6th-Edition-Family/dp/0062268856
    .
  2. Get properly diagnosed by a board-certified psychopharmacologist who specializes in the psychotic disorders. One can find them at…
    http://doctor.webmd.com/find-a-doctor/specialty/psychiatry and https://psychiatrists.psychologytoday.com/rms/
    .
  3. Work with that “psychiatrist” (or “p-doc”) to develop a medication formula that stabilizes their symptoms sufficiently so that they can tackle the psychotherapy that will disentangle their thinking.
    .
    4-6) Do at least some of the psychotherapies listed above.
    .
  4. If you/she/he needs a professional intervention to get through treatment resistance, tell me where you live, and I will get back to you with leads to those services.
    .
  5. Look into the RAISE Project at https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=raise%20program%20schizophrenia.
    .
  6. Look for mental illness clubhouses in your area (which can be hugely helpful… but may also pose risks). Dig through the many articles at https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=mental%20illness%20clubhouse%20model to locate and investigate them.

As a general rule of thumb, if it only takes one sentence to explain, you haven’t really provided enough information. Many of the symptoms associated with schizophrenia are very complicated and appear in a broad spectrum of mental illnesses. It’s not so important for you to understand the specific terminology, but without more detailed information it’s hard for anyone to do more than guess or make suggestions and that can often lead to being more confused than when you started.

Important information to include would be:

-Current diagnostic status, if any
-Frequency of occurrence*
-Detailed description**

*This is actually really important. People can experience the full range of symptoms related to schizophrenia, and not have it. It’s not uncommon for people to hallucinate even, we dream after all. The things that you should be concerned about are those that are chronic and debilitating. If you find a small bruise on your arm, it’s usually not important to see a doctor. However if it doesn’t get better and go away, or you begin to see a pattern of bruises, it’s important to see a doctor.

**I completely understand that most things in the mental health spectrum can be extremely frustrating and confusing to explain. Don’t be afraid to give as much detail as you can. It doesn’t have to make perfect sense, you don’t need to understand the specific terminology, but the more you can give us to work with the more likely it will be we can find relevant sources and information.

Well I have diagnosis of Paranoid schizophrenia, residual phase. I have one line that is part english, part jibberish. it goes like this:

Hail zebot in the marrow, in the marrow of … That line has meaning, but I suspect only to me, I wount go into the meaning, since its rather blasphemous, and I see no reason to trigger evnt religious people here. I utter this alot, mostly only when Im alone. It is mostly when im stressed.
I also have rhymes that are rude/crude banal words, profanities, and unusual made up profanities.

I would really like to get rid of this symtpom, since I sometimes forget myself, and mutter it when around people, I dont know if anyones heard me or not.

I mainly wonder if its schizophrenia or some sort of OCD, since I have both. I am on 10mg zyprexa, 150mg zoloft and 600mg solian(amisulprid (atypical AP, not sold in the U.S))

That’s a really high dose for OCD; 50 is recommended. Might want to ask your prescriber why. (All anti-D’s are neurostimulants that act counter to anti-Ps.)
