Yeah found that out personally. It was like I was in a mind sandwich with voices yelling above and below me.

Constant thoughts of death are a symptom of depression. I think my antidepressant Nortryptaline stopped my constant thoughts of death and bieng dead but it may have increased my thinking things are telepathic and hearing telapathic voices. It does not help me with negative symptoms of schizophrenia

I’m done smoking kind of learned my lesson last week. No more of that stuff for me.

Things are looking up man. Your right. It’s really not a big deal I’m sz. It has taken a while to get used to it. Ultimately these people care about me more than I know. They are not actually telepathic though it seems that way. It’s just I get to playing the game that they are and my worldview and self view get screwed. I have gotten to know the ins and outs of thought broadcasting. I feel bad for anyone who deals with it. Gotta train the mind to do other things than hallucinate.

Yeah I’ve got like three consistant voices. I also wonder if they are God. They don’t seem like it because they are dumb ass hell and repetative. They basically give me ■■■■ for being open to bisexuality telling me bisexuals don’t exist and that I need to kill myself. Never been with a man not to I plan to but I still think about it sometimes. Less now then I used to. I like to think of it as integration disorder and now my goal is to properly integrate into this telepathic ■■■■. It seems so real and it drives me crazy, but at the same time it’s under my control and is a reflection of how I’m feeling and thinking. I’m learning to focus on things that aren’t sexual to become a more acceptably straight person. It’s probably not really necessary but it changes the kind of telepathic messages I hear. After a few more months of this I probably will have straightened out sufficiently enough that my symptoms and synchronous evidence of telepathy won’t bother me. Really it’s the telepathic ■■■■ that gets to me. The voices can be avoided, they suck when I’ve got nothing to do and I really would like to be rid of them but it seems a little more manageable. Don’t really know what to say but I’m getting better at this life with SZ thing.

Modern-day lepers. Thanks SnowyOwl, I feel great now.
Michael Foucault came to the same conclusion (the mentally ill are the new societal leper).
Lock 'em up, hide 'em and throw away the key. Don’t get too close — crazy spreads.

That is a lot of locking up to do…

When Michael Foucault wrote Madness and Civilization, he only identified roughly four mental illnesses (the worst of the worst, though). In the seventeenth century, when leprosy was disappearing from the landscape, a lot of the lazar houses were turned into mental wards.
I’ve seen recovery stories — schizophrenics can be amazing, beautiful people. I think this is why discussion of full recovery is so often neglected by psychiatrists and sufferers. If recovery is possible, that means we are responsible for our own lives, our own path, our own wellbeing, and personal responsibility can be very a daunting and difficult concept to accept.
I think this negativity is perpetuating self-defeatist attitudes.
