Schizophrenia, is it really that bad?

I think the voices and hallucination are not alien. they come in the form of a day dream. The voices if you use them, remember them they can be a trigger to day dreaming. Which is important for dealing with your everyday life. You need to dream to keep your aspirations, not to get overwhelmed, be in character and therefore have a willingness to accomplish your goals. Keeping away from that will change you. Which is why we as Schizzo’s are so away from others, disattached. It starts in the mind when you wake up. SO true it starts in your mind when you want to accomplish things, you think it up. If your relapsing and thinking of why i didn’t dream yesterday, it’ll inhibit your reality today if you cling on to it. just let go. start fresh. Your ways ahead of others, in your capabilities. No one will say it the way you do. No one will be you, just got to know your independent, you rock yourself. Gotto get up to get down" well that’s true for a lot of things. I think, sometimes you need the voices and hallucinations. Your body is telling you, you need it. You need it for a function. Just like people need to dream when we sleep…Why isn’t it apart of your daily function then too. Those thoughts racing in your heads R’ apart of what your going to do too…I think…Goood Luck!

77nick77, they aren’t there to down" you. Instead it’s apart of who you are. Your trying something when they come up. Wether it’s mood, acting in a certain behaviour or whatever…If you don’t like them think this…Voice(s) A. they are not seemingly apart of anything im trying to do they are just there…Well think of them as someone else talking to you. B remember exactly what they said. C try to egg them on. D remember what they said a second time. E put it all together from beginning to end exactly how it started. Now you can conclude no normal person would say it like that…IT DOESN’T SOUND NORMAL . So with that you can conclude they are not from someone else…which you already know but now it can be understood…With this in mind all the things you hear out of your day will be of the universe A or others B or yourself talking to yourself C. Which is the hardest to cope with because you need to deal with nothingness of the situation(s) your in…I have SC im medicated but now i don’t go off the edge, in fact i hardly have a problem functioning. Voices aren’t a problem. SC is just daydreaming and us! fighting it so it fights and we become the victim. Go with the flow, try my technique for yourself…Remember just say it’s from other people talking you need to be in this zone for it to work. Also hearing them backwards emits and trigger to your ego, self, way(s) and being for yourself. Good LUCK

It’s really hard to live in a reality that is not everybody else’s reality. If you can do it, it’s a lot of extra work to get basic stuff done. If you can’t do it, you wind up homeless, without insight, and without meds.

What if the voices pressure you to hurt yourself and you try to reason with them and question, but they just keep yelling at you despite you questioning them over and over?

I think that’s great. If you have a way to cope with your voices by all means cope away. Everyone has a different way to handle their symptoms the best way they know how. It’s too bad there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach for the symptoms of sz. I wish we could have no problems functioning.

just as long as that’s not all your doing all day… they probably have an anon group for excessive “rocking” of ones self… and nobody rocks me not even me…

I accept I have hallucinations I accept that is part of me… but I will however not enjoy their company… I will make it despite this illness not because of it… they do not have my best interest in mind so why the hell would I embrace them… they will only stab you in the back and cackle as you cry… ■■■■ that… I may have to fight demons every time I wake up but living partially functional is worth it… life is beautiful in spite of the horrors it holds…

Now that I’m on a great medication regimen, my sza doesn’t bother me that much any more to be truthful. My life is pretty darn good anymore. It sure helps to get older.

I’m responding well to meds, finally. Even at my worst I still had perspective that things could be worse. I don’t have mnd or huntingtons disease. They’re pretty awful.

I can live with it because i understand it is me making up the reality of what I hear and what I dream up. Given dreams are kinda uncontrolled because your going off a hinge, but voices you hear are repeatedly made in your head. Psychology says you don’t hear what people say when they talk instead you repeat what you heard them say and make the vibrations through hair in your ears. You are repeating what others are saying automatically. Well then if thats true then you can be subject to hearing what you want when you hear. It is staying with them in the zone. Yourself within yourself within the world in the conversation. See so I don’t bother with the voices anymore, Instead I listen and use them. Even if its negative maybe that negative builds a situation that you are living in. Maybe you really need to hear the vulgar or need to reach out and day dream. Because it matches what you put out in the world. People are confusing right? well you said that so your prone to hear them say confusing thoughts…Its not that negative but apart of nothingness which is an inherent quality off the universe and everything we stem off of. I know when I hear a voice it can be unknown at first, did that come from me?did that come from her? HIm? Well its the nature of the voices to do that because then it leave you open to that nothing field that you can come up with a idea and not have reprucussions of hearing it from some other source than your own thoughts. If you think about it. Which is why when you repeat the things you hear it can be apart of your way. A reminder or stuff for you to dwell on. Good LUCK

My hallucinations have been almost all negative for over 20 years. The only part that could ever be called positive would be for a year or two I had voices arguing with the original ones. I think that was a ploy to draw me in, anyway. I would never want to hear their foul accusations.

I just believe its us that create them, so it must have a purpose…hey would you try something for me. Get in a mindset that they (voices) are about self, when they appear (they’re attractive, what i noticed anyways) Listen to it from beginning to end with the intent to egg it on in a new direction in the middle, doing this. Listen to it in its entirety again and you can say that no one would say that self expression to anyone, In the manner that you heard it, when you change the direction then listen to the flow you see that no one could say it to you in that way. then you get over the voices entirely they just whim you little ideas or try this i’ve noticed sometimes when i hear something i dunno what it is but its mysterious i say it, when it comes to closure, backwards word, noise whatever backwards. It seems to click with where that noise’s source could derive from/to. It to me seems not so as negative but what im doing in my place at the time of hearing the voices, they seem tethered to your main purpose, how to get their?, good luck
