Now I’m fully medicated with treatment and overall I accept the science behind having schizophrenia…there is still some very small part of me that thinks some type of higher power was and is messing with me (I still get a decent amount of voices even on 800mg of invega trenza im fully functional but like I said still have voices). What I experienced when I was in full psychosis gives me doubts about what science tells me. Anyone else?

Delusions are pretty seductive. It’s easy to buy into that and it’s sometimes hard to let go. Still. I just moved on. I didn’t find psychosis to be too revalatory. Just my brain misfiring and meds work well for me. Yeah I sometimes get breakthroughs but I try to keep grounded. It’s not necessarily just science and most people have some sort of sprituatlity about them. Doesn’t mean delusional thought should be relied upon!

Insights can seem like Madness, and vice versa. I do have a spiritual side to myself, not everything is brain chemistry
That’s my take I really can’t comment on your own situation. I really don’t know you well enough
Yeah I have some moments now and then where I doubt myself and think I’m being had, but largely I’m okay these days. I very rarely hear voices anymore so I’m lucky in this respect.
I think of this too my self like how is it the voice knows about my life but yeah I just ignore it put my mind on other things play some tunes and drowned it out but yeah
Yes that pretty much sums it up!
Whenever there is a gap in our scientific understanding, we try to fill it with spirituality or superstitions. Our ancestors thought thunderstrikes were godly punishments. Now we know they are just electrical discharges. Same with voices. Some day we will crack this riddle too. In the meantime we can only speculate.

Hey andrey,
Nice comment
But not everything is science or just superstition
Spirituality also has its own place

I thought u said the opposite
ah yea… i’m doing better but i’m still convinced there is other powers that have been messing with me and they just leave me alone now more because i take their meds… i’m not sure what they got planned for me but i’m pretty scared about it cause i don’t know what is comming.
They have already cracked it. Here is the scientific study (again) that proves they are not supernatural, psychic or spiritual:
Link between hallucinations and dopamine not such a mystery, finds study (medicalxpress.com)
@labratmat that article talks about hearing things I don’t and never have heard things. I got a variety of voices that talk to me only inside my head. I also have voices that say for example “remember in middle school when whatever happened weren’t you embarrassed” voices that tell me to stab myself any time a knife is around. I have had spiritual voices too. Now we do know they come from the brains chemicals but what came first the chicken or the egg? How do we know if our brain isn’t some kind of radio receiver that when receiving causes neurotransmitters to fire, why do neurotransmitters have to be thought of traveling first. The answer is I don’t know but I’m definitely curious.
