Recently Diagnosed with Schizophrenia

Hello there,

Does anyone know anything about voice magnifiers, thought processing magnetic resonance imagers, hearing voices in your home that originate a block away, hearing music play in the background, anything about the “dope show” and the government involvement, etc. If you are having anything remotely similar, please don’t hesitate to respond.

I am trying to connect with people that are having similar issues in their life.

Thanks!

Michael

Welcome.

I understand you may have read about those things on other sites, but they do not exist. We do not encourage such discussion.

Hi @mt1981 ,

I was like that before I got diagnosed and put on meds. I quickly came to the conclusion that it was all just faulty brain chemistry. My mind was playing (very believable) tricks on me.

I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I’d avoid websites that promote conspiracy theories like that. I used to visit them and those websites almost killed me as I didn’t seek medical treatment and believed what I was experiencing was a government conspiracy etc.

Welcome to the forum.

It took me over twenty years to say I have schizophrenia because I denied my diagnosis and thought it was real anc people were doing it to me maliciously.

I used to think I was under surveillance. I thought that my friends were conspiring against me. I could hear like really loud voices. My delusions became more and more bizarre. I thought that I’d been drugged or poisoned. Then came the religious delusions. I really lost it all!

After cops drove me to the hospital because I was psychotic in public I got on meds.

On meds I don’t have any conspiracy theories, I don’t think anyone is plotting against me. It’s just brain playing tricks.

My only symptom is that I’m hearing voices, those are a lot milder than they used to be. Sometimes a delusional thought pops up but I can discard those.

I suffer mostly from negatives!

I’m on olanzapine 20mg and vraylar 1.5mg.

Welcome to the forum! Been there done that. I went to a psychiatrist to help my OCD and depression and got diagnosed with SZA.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us

A few tips on things that confuse newbies:

Cake day is the anniversary date of when you joined.

The 1515 or other numbers at the end of peoples posts are because there’s a 15 character minimum to post. So people put 15s after until they get to the minimum characters to post.

To tag someone, put the @ followed by the name.
